My family's always been in meat. Join PJ and Derek as they take a road trip through the grimy, nerve-shredding masterpiece that changed horror forever, Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). In this episode the guys explore how the film’s raw, documentary-like style, unsettling sound design, and shocking violence created one of the most influential horror movies ever made. Along the way, we separate myth from reality, unpack the film's surprising themes, and discuss why this raw, relentless classic still gets under your skin more than five decades later. 📺
