1 hr 1 min - E7 007 - Week 7 - Chain Saws 'Fer the Childrens (#FranklinMustDie)- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
We're back! We took a week off to fight the viral plague so we didn't die or WORSE become zombies! This week, Joshua gets sentimental about a family visit and a hometown murder. Joe fights off a cat, yet again (we're thinking of producing a remake of STRAYS starring Hymlocke. Look it up...) and almost dies of shock at Joshua's admission of watching some Gilmore Girls. We watch 1974's terrifying classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre together as Joe slips a little closer to the edge...
