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.

We dive into all those questions and more-- join us! ...
