On the 226th episode of Piecing It Together, I’m joined by Chad Clinton Freeman for a special kind of episode… It’s both a Piecing It Together of the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre (now available on Netflix), and a Breaking It Apart of 1974’s original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from Tobe Hooper. We'd wanted to cover the original for a long time and the new one gave us the perfect opportunity to do this special episode like we did a few years back for Halloween. Puzzle pieces include that 2018 Halloween, as well as The Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes and Psycho.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the movies we discuss!
