This episode on Bonded by Blood, things get raw. Join Charlie and Hayden as they plunge headfirst into the grimy, sun-baked terror of Tobe Hooper's 1974 masterpiece, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Forget jump scares and CGI monsters; this is pure, unadulterated dread.

We're dissecting the film's unsettling realism, the iconic (and terrifying) Leatherface, and the sheer, visceral power of its low-budget genius. Does it still hold up as a horror landmark? How does it resonate with a modern audience? 

Expect candid reactions, generational perspectives, and a healthy dose of terrified laughter as we explore the film that redefined horror and left an indelible mark on cinema. We'll delve into the film's controversial history, its impact on the slasher genre, and debate whether it's truly a "chainsaw" movie at all.

From the unnerving sound design to the unsettling performances, we're leaving no bone unturned (pun intended). So, grab your headphones, lock your doors, and prepare for a truly horrifying experience with Bonded by Blood.
