Put your face on and oil up your chain because this week the gang discusses the all-new, Netflix-exclusive TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. In this episode, recorded live via Twitter Spaces, we discuss the new film, how well it connects to the 1974 classic, what to make of all its topical political references, and much more. We also turn to the phones (and Instagram comments) to get some listener takes on the movie.
Also, in horror catchup: Chris discusses THE DEEP HOUSE and IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS; Steven and Chris discuss FRANKENHOOKER; Patrick and Steven discuss NIGHTMARE ALLEY; and Patrick reviews the entire damn SCREAM franchise.

Loki is in the United States again and this time he's stealing our daughters and taking them to an English mansion with stunning architecture and a seeping foundation.

We dive into all those questions and more-- join us! ...
It's still not safe to drink the water! This week, Chris and Patrick struggle to identify bodily fluids and debate whether or not the humor in this grossout comedy is morally reprehensible or just silly fun. ...
