0:41
Part 3, Leatherface, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 3 Before we
0:48
do that, I've got a couple of announcements. 1 is that RTB or
0:52
not to be was released this past weekend, so be sure to check
0:55
that out. We covered dead dudes in the
0:56
house or the. House on.
0:58
Tombstone Hill or something about dead.
1:01
Dead. Home.
1:02
Yeah, that. Yeah, it's a it's a fun little.
1:08
Yeah, it's a fun movie. Exactly.
1:11
It's not bad. It's a, you know, I think it's a
1:13
fun one. I think we had a good time.
1:14
We've. Requested a lot of audience
1:16
participation in that, so there are several questions that if
1:18

1:21
Also, if you are a member of our budget tier Patreon, we will be

1:29
month in. The coming days, the.
1:30
Next week, yes. So just be on the lookout for
1:33
that. We as of the time of this
1:35
recording, because it's so like basically the middle of the
1:37
month. It's weird recording.
1:39
Recording this time is weird. Yeah.
1:42
So that episode will be out. We haven't figured out what it's
1:45
going to be yet, but it's fun. It's always fun.
1:47
It's going to be a great time with it.
1:48
Yeah, fantastic. So be on the lookout for that if
1:51
you are not a member of our Patreon, but you want to be The
1:54
link to that is in the very bottom of these show notes.
1:56
Just scroll all the way down right there.
1:57
It's. Also on our link tree, if you go
1:59
to our socials whatever, it's easy to find.
2:02
Yep. All right, that is it for
2:05
announcements. Do we have poll results?
2:07
We do. So last week we talked about The
2:10
Final Girls, yes, which is a movie about people going into a
2:14
movie franchise and experiencing it through that lens.
2:17
So we wanted to ask you guys, what movie franchise would you
2:22
like to dive into yourselves? We had Halloween, Texas Chainsaw
2:27
Massacre, Child's Play slash Chucky, and Nightmare on Elm
2:32
Street as options. So the results 40% of the people
2:36
would like to go into the Halloween universe, 10% Texas
2:40
Chainsaw Massacre, 40% Child's Play slash Chucky, and 10%
2:45
Nightmare on Elm Street. OK.
2:47
I think out of all of those, Halloween is probably the most
2:50
survivable, so I think that's what I would choose.
2:54
I don't know. I think if you're going on
2:55
survivable, I think Chucky, I think, I mean, ultimately he's
2:59
still a doll. Like really like when it comes
3:02
between like if do you want to fight Chucky or do you want to
3:05
fight Michael? I'm fighting Chucky.
3:08
But I agree that Halloween is more interesting.
3:12
I love Halloween time, so that's like a permanent Halloween vibe
3:16
no matter what. So that's got a lot in its
3:19
favor. But the others, I mean, Texas
3:22
Chainsaw Massacre, I don't want to be in that stinky and, you
3:27
know, like, chainsaws are scary. Yeah.
3:29
And that Leatherface, God, he's a terrifying man.
3:33
Yeah. But he there's a chance that you
3:36
can be on his good side. He's he's a very much a nurtured
3:40
to be bad guy. He has some good at him.
3:43
I think that ways there's potential.
3:45
It depends on which movie you're watching him from.
3:48
That's true too. I like that we had Chris say
3:52
he's not sleeping well anyway, so he chose on Elm Street, which
3:56
if you have like insomnia, that might be your series right
3:59
there. I don't think that would be a
4:01
good one for me because I you already have a nightmare.
4:04
We're sleepwalking this week. Yeah, so.
4:06
Walking is not a term I wouldn't.
4:07
Add I. Was sleep screaming and running
4:10
out of the room terrified? Would have run out of the house
4:14
if you hadn't stopped me. Yeah, it's fine.
4:17
OK, Anyway, I'm ready for background, if you're ready for
4:21
background, yeah. OK, let's do Texas Chainsaw.
4:24
OK, let it face Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, released January
4:29
12th. Hey 1990, happy birthday.
4:32
I was -2 years old, so. Yeah, this is just, you know,
4:36
for you in the future. I knew that you were going to be
4:39
birthed that day. We watched it on our DVD, but
4:43
right now the only streaming options you have, you have to
4:46
pay some monies, several few just it's, yeah, Google Play
4:52
Prime or Fandango at home. Less than $4.00 for each of
4:55
those. It's this is when the I've I've
4:59
kept an eye on it because like I hadn't watched the Yeah.
5:01
And well, obviously I have now, but like a while ago before we
5:05
still. Haven't watched it actually.
5:07
Yeah, I wanted to watch it and it never came up on streaming
5:10
surfaces. But when it did show up, it
5:12
would be on Max because this is a Warner Bros movie owned by
5:16
Warner Bros. So, yeah.
5:18
So keep an eye out then. Yep.
5:20
So this was written by David J Shaw, based on characters by Kim
5:24
Herkel and Toby Hooper, directed by Jeff Burr, music by Jim Manzi
5:29
and Pat Reagan, special effects by KMB.
5:31
Yeah, Greggy Nix. Man Greggy Nix back at it,
5:36
Starring Kate Hodge as Michelle, Ken Foray as Benny, RA Mihailov
5:41
as Leatherface, William Butler as Ryan, Viggo Mortensen as Tex,
5:46
Joe Unger as Tinker, and Tom Everett as Alfredo Travis.
5:50
Yes, time for our favorite game budget or bug, Ted?
5:58
I'm going to go bug Ted. Fact.
6:01
Yeah, yeah. 2 million. Whoa.
6:03
Only two mil. Only two mil opening box office
6:06
2.6 mil worldwide Gross 5.7 milk.
6:10
Yeah. IMDb score 5.0 out of 10.
6:14
OK, you know that doesn't hurt too bad.
6:17
Yeah, 5 is not bad. I told you when we were
6:19
recording TV or not to be that that movie had a higher rating
6:22
than this one. It was only by .1, yeah.
6:24
But when you were saying that, I thought you were saying it was
6:26
like numbers below. I wanted to make you nervous.
6:29
I set up the anticipation for you, Shoe Lord.
6:32
Yeah. Yeah.
6:33
OK, we're save you all. All right, so I picked some
6:35
movies from 1990. OK.
6:38
And the theme is, yeah, sure. OK, I guess we'll just hang out
6:42
with these weirdo sadists. Man, why don't you gather for
6:47
this one then? I'm curious.
6:48
The first one's misery. Oh.
6:51
Man Yeah, yeah, I guess I'll hang out with her.
6:54
He has no. Option so that released November
6:58
30th 1990 budget of 20 million world right goes to 61 million
7:03
IMDb scores 7.8 out of 10. If you want to hear our complete
7:06
thoughts on it, we have talked about that movie.
7:08
Go check it out. That is actually tonight.
7:11
I will, if you're listening to this, on the opening release of
7:14
this, I will be at book club discussing the book, so.
7:17
You know, I think in that scenario, of all the people,
7:20
that's like, OK, sure, I'll hang out with these weird people.
7:21
I think it's the pig misery. Yeah.
7:24
You know, fine, I'll hang out with these two.
7:26
It's weird. Yeah, but the problem with
7:28
hanging out with the pig Misery is that occasionally you're
7:29
gonna have to see Annie Wilkes and she's gonna do her Misery
7:32
impression. Yeah, exactly.
7:35
Yeah. OK second movie.
7:37
OK troll 2. Oh yeah, Nil bog baby.
7:42
The US releases October 12th, 1990.
7:46
Budget of 100K worldwide, Gross of 1.1 K IMDb score.
7:54
No fucking way. Seriously.
8:00
TV scored 3.0 out of 10. We've also discussed this.
8:04
I must have forgotten that because I didn't realize it was
8:07
that abysmal at the box office. 1.1000 on $100,000 budget.
8:14
That movie, The third movie, yeah.
8:19
Gremlins 2 new batch. Hey, okay.
8:22
That released June 15th, 1990. Budget of 50 million, well by
8:26
gross of 41 million. IMDb score of 6.4 out of 10.
8:32
That one so shocks me that it's got a good IMDb.
8:34
I know. I've never seen that I can't.
8:37
It's not that I don't like it that shocks me, it's just from
8:40
what I've heard other people say about it, I never got the
8:42
impression that it was good things, but apparently people
8:45
like. It every time I think of
8:46
Gremlins 2 I think of the key and feels good.
8:48
Yeah, me too. Yeah.
8:50
Where they're just brainstorming and they're like, every idea is
8:53
accepted. Yeah, OK, cool.
8:55
That's a good thing. I like that.
8:57
All right, tagline time. There were two on the poster.
9:02
Well, the main poster, there were actually several across
9:05
different posters, but I'm going with the main poster right?
9:08
The terror begins the second it starts.
9:12
I wouldn't mind that if it was Texas Chance on Massacre 2 cuz
9:15
then we get the play of like second.
9:17
Yeah, that would have been way better, yeah.
9:19
The other is it's a bit of his own fart.
9:23
Smelly. Most controversial horror film
9:27
ever is finally here. What lame.
9:31
Yeah. You know that kind of.
9:34
Then there were some things that made them.
9:38
I think put that on the poster, which we might go into in the
9:41
fun facts. Yeah, there's.
9:43
There's things that I'm aware of that maybe we can shed some
9:45
light on. Yeah, I'm curious to see what I
9:47
found online, how that matches with what you found in the
9:51
making of. Yeah, the DVD had like a 28
9:54
minute making of documentary that I watched, so I've got some
9:56
Intel. Yeah, and this is one of those
9:58
weird times that like, he watched that, so he'll chime in
10:00
with stuff because he already watched it and we were on a
10:04
schedule. It's.
10:05
Kind of funny, it's the same thing happened with the first
10:07
Texas. Chainsaw.
10:07
I watched him making a. Documentary for that one too.
10:09
Yeah, maybe that would be my thing for this franchise.
10:12
All right, some tales are told then soon forgotten, but a
10:17
legend is forever. Oh man.
10:22
I think that makes sense where they're trying to make the move
10:23
to Leatherface being the main character of the Sawyer family.
10:27
Yeah, OK. There's Rogue Kill all over
10:31
Texas. I mean, that kind of works
10:34
because they do make that as a one statement.
10:36
Yeah, a couple of times, yeah. And this is a movie that's more
10:40
Rd. based than other ones, so I think that one works.
10:42
Exactly. He puts the teeth in terror.
10:48
Teeth. Teeth in terror, Yeah.
10:51
Doesn't make sense. I don't.
10:54
Know like the terrier has teeth to it yeah type thing like I
10:57
think like. The teeth of the.
11:00
Chainsaw. I see.
11:01
I see. Yeah, yeah.
11:03
And then, finally, that's all his family.
11:05
Hell yeah, I'm glad that they made that Italian.
11:09
I mean, they should have done that.
11:11
Cool, That's your wedding ring. I keep saying that.
11:14
Yeah. Where did it go?
11:18
OK, You ready for some fun facts?
11:21
I am. All right.
11:22
So there is, in fact, an often ended because of this movie.
11:24
And you know, the whole fight scene at the pond that they
11:28
have. Michelle ends up killing
11:29
everybody. Danny doesn't survive.
11:32
So she gets out of there and she is walking along the road the
11:35
next morning and a cop car pulls up behind her and she's like
11:39
yay, cool. Except then when the car pulls
11:41
up ahead of her, the little girl pops up and she's got her little
11:43
skeleton Sally doll and it's like waving it and you can tell
11:46
it's text driving. Could you?
11:49
I don't know because they drove off and I thought maybe it was
11:52
like the cops stopped at the house and they picked up the kid
11:55
for child protection. No, the greasy blonde hair was
11:57
poking out of the hat. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:00
All right, I know why they made that change.
12:04
They changed the ending, okay? They showed it to some test
12:07
audiences and people really resonated with Ken for Ray's
12:11
character. Well, yeah, it's fucking Ken for
12:13
Ray. Yeah, like people loved his
12:15
character. So what they did is they wanted
12:18
to in like the one that we end up getting, bring characters
12:22
back that people liked because they had like potential for a
12:26
sequel maybe. You know, if we do a sequel, we
12:29
want to bring these people that people like back.
12:31
Yes. So that's why we get that like
12:33
him just pulling up and all that stuff that.
12:35
Makes sense. Yeah.
12:37
So I kind of alluded to this where I said they were trying to
12:39
make Leatherface the main character of the Sawyer family.
12:42
And what happened is Canon Group bought the rights to Texas
12:46
Chainsaw Massacre, and their whole plan was that they were
12:48
going to bring it back to its nitty gritty roots, which, as we
12:52
talked about last month, Toby Hooper always intended for it to
12:55
be a dark comedy like. I think it's just like they,
12:59
they wanted to reclaim it. Yeah.
13:00
It's like they the first one was like a thing and then he like is
13:04
like, it's not that really. Yeah.
13:06
But he put it out there. And once you put it out there,
13:09
it becomes like the audiences thing.
13:10
You know what? I.
13:10
Mean yeah. And then I think this is
13:12
especially funny because they were kind of modeling it off of
13:14
the success of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, which also
13:19
is like a franchise that borders with it plays our own comedy in
13:23
its. Yeah.
13:24
And stuff too. Yeah.
13:26
So David J Shou, Speaking of Nightmare on Elm Street, he was
13:29
actually working on reworking the Nightmare on Elm Street 5
13:33
Dream child script when he was pulled to work on the script,
13:37
Yeah. Wait, the the guy that wrote
13:39
this movie? Yep, he said that this was his
13:41
first movie that he wrote himself.
13:43
Yeah, no, he was reworking. Yeah, I know.
13:45
No. Dream Child, this is his first
13:46
original screenplay that he wrote and he got produced, yeah,
13:49
which he was really psyched about that.
13:52
Once again the theme for poor Gunner Hansen.
13:55
They tried to bring him back his leather face, but they had more
13:58
pay, remuneration disputes and still couldn't get him to come
14:03
back. Now I'm starting to wonder, is
14:04
Gunner just terrible at negotiating?
14:06
Yeah, I like, I, I really am curious about more of these
14:10
details like which like how was it?
14:14
I feel like this is one of those, like there's three sides
14:16
to it. There's the studio side, there's
14:18
gunner side, and then there's the truth, you know?
14:21
Yeah, yeah. They, they, I know why they got
14:24
RA. Mala Hoff.
14:25
Mala Hoff. He did actually audition for it.
14:29
He did? Yeah.
14:31
Yeah, the director was familiar with him.
14:33
Like, I guess they knew each other and I don't know if he
14:35
worked on something in his past or not, but yeah, they they
14:39
called him in because of that. Yeah, and the the stunt
14:42
coordinator for this thing is actually came hotter.
14:45
Yeah, and he was RA stunt double and supposedly this is like more
14:51
rumored than anything but the teaser trailer that they did for
14:54
this movie to get the funding and everything, they use Kane
14:56
harder as Leatherface. You've not seen that.
15:00
You got to watch it. OK, so Burt initially wanted to
15:03
film this in Texas, but by the time he was hired, set
15:06
construction had already started in Valencia, CA.
15:09
And this was kind of a cursed set in some ways because they
15:14
were dealing with wildfire issues destroying some parts of
15:17
sets. People were just quitting, like
15:21
walking off set, and Burr at one point actually got fired for
15:25
being over budget and over schedule, but they couldn't find
15:28
anybody to hire in his place, so they hired him back.
15:31
Yeah, it was the last week of filming from what I saw on the
15:35
thing. And they're like, look like you
15:38
have one week left. We want to see your shot list
15:41
for the next week. If you don't get it to us,
15:43
you're fired. And then he, like, told him
15:45
like, oh, guys, like we're on the final stretch here.
15:47
Like I don't have to do this. Like I'm going to get it.
15:49
It's fine. And then they fired him and then
15:51
they called him back. Like he said, there's like a lot
15:53
of animosity on the set. Like a lot of the actors really
15:56
didn't like him either. Oh, really?
15:58
Yeah, they, like, apparently, like, they had Ryan's actor on
16:02
the documentary, too. And he was talking about how,
16:04
like, he would overhear some conversations of, like, people
16:06
just being really nitpicky, like the smallest thing.
16:08
They would really try and, like, just, like, give him shit for
16:13
it. And for some reason, they just
16:15
didn't really care for him. He acknowledged himself that he
16:18
wanted this to be his movie. He he came from like an
16:21
independent filmmaking background.
16:23
And then he realized this actually isn't like this is
16:25
bigger than me. So like he recognizes after the
16:28
fact that he probably would have been better than just like take
16:31
like a more grand like everybody approach rather than like him.
16:35
OK, yeah, The one last final fact I have is that the set was
16:42
less than a mile from Six Flags, so there's some scenes where
16:45
there's screams in the background, and those are not
16:47
like production actor screams. Those are screams from the theme
16:51
park. Those are like happy screams.
16:53
Yeah. Not like scared chainsaw screams
16:56
happening. Do you have anything additional
16:59
from the making of that you'd like to share?
17:02
It was funny. We talked about one of the
17:04
things in this series is you get these actors that are up and
17:07
coming that end up being big time actors.
17:09
Like Eagle Morton, seen as this movie's big name.
17:12
That kind of had his breakout after the fact, which is funny
17:16
because one of the original targets that they were going to
17:18
have as a director for this movie was Peter Jackson.
17:21
Yeah. And then it just kind of so
17:23
happened that they ended up working together after the fact
17:26
on Lord of the Rings, and Viggo Mortenstein bombed his audition.
17:32
They didn't like him and he didn't get the job at first and
17:36
they ended up giving it to this other guy and they brought him
17:38
on the project and it was they were doing rehearsals.
17:41
Then they just did not like his rehearsal.
17:44
So they just like called Vigo up and he was down to do the part
17:48
and they liked him because he was like actually ready to get
17:52
down and dirty and do what needed to be done for the movie.
17:55
So it ended up like he wasn't a right fit at first, but he ended
17:59
up being like the perfect character for it.
18:01
Good in this. Another cool thing that I didn't
18:04
really catch. They don't really like go into
18:06
in the movie itself. But like this isn't actual
18:10
biological family in this movie, it's all found family.
18:14
OK. Yes, they just they're like a
18:17
misfit like group of people that just got together and the
18:21
daughter is actually Weatherface's daughter which.
18:24
That was kind of implied. They through, yeah, they say it
18:28
like they say he's good at making kids basically, which is
18:31
kind of weird, but the way that the kid is acting, you would
18:34
think it would. It was Texas.
18:36
Yeah, kid. Also, just in case anybody was
18:40
curious if they thought the little blonde girl looked
18:42
familiar, she does play the younger version of Tina from
18:48
Friday the 13th Part 7 in the flashback where she kills her
18:51
dad. And I guess while we're also
18:53
talking about that, Ryan's actor, he's also in Friday the
18:56
13th, I think he was in Jason Goes to Hell.
19:00
He gets killed in that, He was in Nightmare on Elm Street, dies
19:03
in that, and he's in the Texas Chainsaw movie.
19:05
So he's been in a lot of horror franchises.
19:08
He's been killed in multiple horror franchises, and we've
19:11
talked about his death on all of these episodes.
19:14
Yeah, he, he said in the things, though I never got Michael,
19:17
though he seemed sad. He seemed sad that he never made
19:19
into a Halloween movie. Well, there's always hope.
19:22
No, I don't think so at this point.
19:24
You said before that like if they made 100 Halloween movies,
19:29
he would watch 100 Halloween movies.
19:31
Who me? Yeah, I'm talking about him.
19:33
Him making it into a Halloween movie.
19:34
At this point, I don't even know if he's still acting these days.
19:37
Yeah. But if they called him up and
19:38
they said, hey, William, do you want to be killed by Michael?
19:41
Do you think he'd say no? He'd be down exactly.
19:43
He'd be able to finish. Exactly.
19:44
Yeah. OK, go.
19:49
Are we ready to talk about good, bad, ugly and absurd?
19:51
Yeah. OK.
19:52
All right. Kick it off.
19:54
So one of the cool things about this movie is each one is
19:58
different than the other. The second one, definitely more
20:01
comedic and it got a little bit more wacky.
20:04
The first one, really gritty and grimy.
20:06
This one right here, it has its own tone to it.
20:09
It has that road movie that we talked about before, which I
20:13
think is really cool. It really leans into the
20:17
strengths of the series. I think.
20:19
Like I like that they corrected it back into the horror over the
20:24
comedy. We get hints of comedy here and
20:26
there, but I think this is the correct balance for it.
20:31
And I like how they definitely make it very clear that this is
20:35
a very isolated, small community and they do set up these traps
20:40
for people that come through. Yeah, it's nice.
20:42
Like I, I like it. They they were really smart with
20:45
it. And like, one of the biggest
20:48
things about this series, when people think of Texas Chainsaw
20:51
Massacre, I think a lot of people think of the chase
20:53
scenes. And what they make with this
20:55
movie is essentially 1 long chase scene the entire time.
20:58
It starts in the car, it goes into the forest and then like,
21:01
they go back to the house. And even that is better.
21:05
I like, like at the house, the dinner scene.
21:08
It's not like the dinner scene from the past two movies.
21:10
They actually make it interesting this time around.
21:13
Yeah. You know, like that if you've
21:15
listened to the past two episodes, that's the part where
21:17
the the series has lost me every single time.
21:20
The dinner scenes are never really that interesting to me.
21:23
Yeah, but it's good at building tension and it's good at its
21:27
humor, and I think it's one of the better ones in the series,
21:30
honestly. Yeah, no, I definitely agree.
21:33
I think it it tells, I mean, you're going to expect certain
21:37
things for the Texas Chainsaw movie, right?
21:39
And I think it it hits those beats while keeping it
21:42
interesting and fresh. And it also puts it in a way
21:46
that, like, I don't know, it feels more relatable in some
21:49
ways than others because, like, the first one, it starts off
21:51
with, like, so these kids are specifically going to this town
21:56
to look at their grandfather's house or whatever.
21:59
Yeah. And the second one, oh, getting
22:01
caught up in an investigation to try and find the Sawyer family.
22:04
Yeah. This one is just, like, I'm
22:06
driving through here on a road trip.
22:09
I don't actually want to be here.
22:11
Yeah. Which I think is a little bit
22:13
more relatable. I think creepy dudes at a gas
22:17
station. Very fucking relatable.
22:19
Especially places like Texas where you have those long
22:22
stretches of Rd. with nothing. Yeah.
22:24
Which that's like scary in its own.
22:26
Yeah, that's terrifying in and of itself.
22:29
So I think that this does a lot of good things and I think
22:33
having a lot of night time scenes through woods, that's
22:37
always gonna be effective for me.
22:39
We've got like the one girl that was like hiding out there for a
22:42
week and like in the two minutes that she's on screen, you're
22:46
rooting for her and then she just dies so unceremoniously.
22:49
And I think having like things like that is really effective.
22:52
Yeah, at first I was like, you know what, That's kind of weird
22:55
that you introduced her and then kill her.
22:56
But then I thought I was like, no, actually, I like that.
22:59
That actually worked I think also just another cool thing
23:03
about the movie, the teaser trailer is one of the best in
23:06
the entire, like horror movies in general, movie teasers in
23:09
general. Like if you have not seen it, I
23:11
recommend you watch it because it's just fun.
23:13
I wish it kind of kept that tone, but if it kept that tone,
23:17
it might have leaned a little bit more into the Texas Chainsaw
23:20
Massacre 2 territory. And love the teaser trailer as
23:23
much as you can. OK.
23:26
Well, I think you were you were very much in the minority.
23:28
We've had people like in the reviews sit in here mention that
23:31
specifically. I like the concept of like, OK,
23:34
we're doing sort in this own like, I think it's one type of
23:37
thing and I like that concept, but like.
23:39
Is it possible that it got over hyped for you?
23:41
A little bit. OK, that's fair.
23:43
But I still don't even think if I saw that, I'd be like, OK,
23:46
like, I don't know. I think sometimes teaser
23:48
trailers just don't do much for me anyway.
23:51
Because I'm. Just like, OK, cool, so we're
23:52
going to have a third one, you know what I mean?
23:54
I'm. Like Third Texas Chainsaw?
23:56
Yeah. Yeah, I think that's part of it.
23:58
Like, that's cool having that announcement.
24:01
And especially if it's done in a cool way.
24:02
Like if I got like, a today at a teaser trailer of Michael Myers
24:07
and he has his knife and it's just, like, shot down to him,
24:10
like by a bolt of lightning, and he holds it like.
24:14
And that has nothing to do with the movie even.
24:16
Like, I would be hyped because, like, oh, hell yeah.
24:18
That's a cool way to tell me that we're getting another one.
24:21
Hell yeah. Thank you.
24:22
I watched the teaser trailer for Sunrise on the reaping cuz I was
24:26
like yeah super hyped and I was just like oh lava I.
24:31
Don't even know what you're talking.
24:32
About OK, the new Hunger Games, maybe for next year.
24:36
I guess teaser trailers aren't for you.
24:37
Then yeah, I guess I'm not a teaser trailer person, I guess.
24:40
That's fine. That's all fine and dandy.
24:44
All right, So bad stuff. Yeah.
24:46
We talked about the survivor a bit.
24:48
I thought it was weird to make her.
24:50
They made her almost kind of similar to the SAW years.
24:53
I felt like personality wise she for the longest time.
24:57
You think that she's part of the family even.
25:00
Yeah, I think they're kind of trying to misdirect at 1st and
25:04
then you kind of see maybe she she's unhinged like Sally is at
25:08
the beginning of the first movie.
25:09
Yeah, it's just I didn't necessarily like her reasoning
25:13
for sticking around a week. She's like, they watch the
25:16
roads, I can't get away. They're not watching the 24/7.
25:20
They're at their house in this movie even like just chilling.
25:23
They can't tell if you ever, like, ran down the road, you
25:26
know what I mean? It was a little bit of a lame.
25:28
Experience. I don't know.
25:29
Those rows are real open for a real long time.
25:31
Yeah, but you're. Not going to be able to see it
25:33
from your house in the fucking hall or.
25:35
Yeah, but it wouldn't take long for them to, like, just drive up
25:38
and see her. I would feel very exposed.
25:41
I get it. Yeah, but I mean, but the
25:44
alternative is to hang around the house and watch Weatherface
25:47
do his lessons. Nah.
25:51
You know, what about the last? Yeah, that like that right
25:54
there. I don't, I think like, you go,
25:56
you try and run or what, you're going to hang around the
26:00
killer's house and just kind of fucking deal with that shit.
26:03
No, I think that was kind of lame, OK.
26:06
Also, I thought it was kind of a strange decision to put
26:10
Weatherface in the camp of doing The Walking chase instead of the
26:14
running chase, because that was his.
26:15
Thing he. Runs.
26:16
They gave him like a like a leg brace and he can't really run in
26:20
this movie, which, you know, I like the trope of the like
26:23
walking killer. Like it.
26:24
It's a tense thing and it works usually.
26:27
But Weatherface's strength was he's this large dude that moves
26:31
fast and he chases you with a loud chainsaw.
26:33
That shit is scary. Don't fuck with that formula.
26:37
But other than that, that's the only bad things I had to say
26:39
about it. I guess my bad is we didn't
26:44
really have much of a tie in between the beginning with like
26:49
the mass graves to everything else.
26:52
Like I get that it was meant to be kind of implied, but like
26:55
even in the first one there were talking about like graves being
26:57
desecrated and what what not. Like it is literally fully tied
27:02
in at the end, you know what I mean?
27:04
So I think that like, yeah, like some stuff like, you know, show,
27:11
not tell, whatever. But I do think that like
27:14
sometimes you need to make that connection a bit more like
27:17
solid, you know? Yeah, yeah, that's true.
27:20
Yeah. It didn't like they didn't drive
27:22
it home. Also the pills that why is Benny
27:27
just driving around with these hard narcotic drugs and how do
27:33
they work through their systems so fast?
27:36
He strikes me as the type of dude that's like, he's like,
27:40
he's probably in the NRA and those aren't necessarily the
27:44
most hinged people. He's a weakened warrior.
27:46
He admits it himself. He's a guy that goes up there.
27:49
He's the doomsday prepper. He's not fully together there.
27:53
You know what I mean? Yeah.
27:54
So he, you know, him being a pill popper doesn't necessarily
27:58
stand out to me as strange. I just love that he's like
28:00
giving us. He doesn't even check what other
28:02
types of meds they might have in their systems already.
28:05
Is like, it might make me extra high, like here, try this.
28:07
Like you'll have it even like you'll roll hard.
28:10
Yeah. All right.
28:14
Ugly. Ugly.
28:15
Well, we have the poor little Armandillo death in the
28:19
beginning. I don't like that.
28:22
And then we have Alfredo doing his gas station peeping on
28:27
Michelle, which is nasty. So gross.
28:30
Yeah, but yeah, what about you? I'm gonna say that like before,
28:36
the idea of Leatherface raping was more metaphorical.
28:41
Dude in the way that they talked about him, they're like, oh he
28:44
like the private parts is his specialty.
28:46
He knows what to do with them Parts like what the.
28:49
Fuck, I guess once the rest of his family died and he was like
28:52
sex. Nobody knows sex people do knows
28:55
now. Yes, we do know about skex
28:59
Italians. Then Mama like, cut herself off.
29:03
I guess I I don't know what. They were so weird about their
29:07
like they were just so open and up for about their genital
29:10
mutilation. This franchise's relationship to
29:13
sex is, I mean, I was going to say they could do like studies
29:16
on it, but there, there are studies on it.
29:18
You know what I mean? That was another thing about
29:20
this, you know, like this movie did keep the like the the gender
29:25
bending stuff present. Yeah, it's not necessarily there
29:28
with Weather Face, but it's Tex that has it.
29:33
I don't know if you picked up. I liked him in his little frilly
29:35
apron. Yeah, the frilly apron.
29:36
I don't know if you noticed he also painted his nails.
29:39
I didn't notice that, no. They called it out in the
29:41
documentary because it was a, it was an intentional thing.
29:44
Like they made him like, the matriarch role in the house.
29:47
OK. Yeah.
29:49
And then I think that they said, like, they thought that texting
29:51
was trying to, like, overcompensation on the macho.
29:54
That's why he like insists on like being referred to as texts.
29:58
You don't like being called Eddie?
30:00
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
30:02
What's your third? I got roadkill flirting, I
30:06
guess, like a text flirting over the roadkill with Michelle and
30:09
he goes over there and wipes the blood off of the grill and I
30:13
think he thinks it's like a real sexy move.
30:15
He spent too much time with the weird family.
30:18
It's sexy in his world. Yeah, I also think it's funny
30:21
that. So Weatherface, obviously weapon
30:24
of choice. The saw.
30:25
Yeah, but when all else fails, he has a tiny saw in his pocket
30:29
that he uses as a backup. Oh.
30:31
My God, the little Dremel saw when they pulled that out I was
30:35
like die. It's great, right?
30:36
Like if he's gonna have a backup, it's another saw.
30:39
I love it. That's that was amazing.
30:42
Yeah, I love that a lot. And just, I love that scene of
30:46
him doing his lesson. Like he's on that little
30:50
machine. He's like, all right, it's a
30:51
picture of a coin. I was like, what is this?
30:52
And he just keeps typing. OOD like over.
30:56
Wrong answer. It's like try again.
30:58
And he's just like FOOD. Like he's like, this is Zoe.
31:02
This is Zoe Energy. So when my sister was little,
31:06
she, my younger sister, she had a little leapfrog thing and you
31:09
could press 3 letters to make a word it was supposed to like, so
31:12
that way kids could do like DoD dog.
31:15
Yeah, one night my mom and I were sitting around playing with
31:18
it and we were trying to like spell dirty words words and it
31:21
wouldn't let us cuz it'd be like press 3 letters to make a word
31:24
and we'd go AS and when you hit S the second time instead of
31:28
saying it, it would say press 3 letters to make a word.
31:31
They thought of. It yeah and even if you did like
31:33
if you tried to trick it if you tried to do like fuk it would
31:36
still it would go F you press 3 letters to make a word.
31:41
In a way, it said. F you still all right?
31:46
What are your absurds? My absurd.
31:49
You hit on a lot of them. But I also want to kind of talk
31:52
about Benny, him the way he was talking to Ryan the whole time
31:58
and he just goes yes, yes. Melton lumberjacks.
32:01
Mm hmm. Like, yeah, yeah, I loved.
32:04
That and I also loved that like this found family is so much
32:07
more functional than the actual Sawyers cuz like I know, you
32:10
know, the past two movies we've seen every time, like they're
32:12
all in the house together. They're just screaming at each
32:15
other. And this time, like, Tinker
32:17
calls text Eddie and he goes, you know, I don't like that.
32:20
He goes, I'm sorry, text like and like they just, they
32:23
resolved their differences so peacefully.
32:26
And I like the dynamic of Leatherface actually, like they
32:30
pick on him, but he sticks up for himself in this one.
32:32
Like he like when he throws his cassette player in the oven, he
32:35
grabs him. Like you reach in there and you
32:37
get. And he wouldn't let Tinker reach
32:39
in with his hook, he said No, you use the hand that will hurt.
32:43
That was awesome. I love that version of
32:46
Leatherface. Yeah, I like that he's not the
32:48
punching bag. Yeah, but they still made him
32:50
feel sweet because I feel a little bit bad for him when he's
32:53
trying to type food. I'm like, oh man, you're trying.
32:55
I also like the implications that he clearly talks to them
32:58
when the cameras aren't around because that little girl's
33:01
doll's name is Sally. I didn't even catch that holy.
33:05
Shit. Yeah.
33:05
So like, clearly he's like told his daughter about Sally.
33:09
Wow man, I didn't even think of that.
33:11
And where did those tiny bones come from?
33:13
I know. Birds I.
33:16
Hope so. Baby bones aren't going to be
33:19
that big. They're not even like that well
33:21
formed at that size. What do you know about baby
33:23
bones? I know a lot about baby bones
33:27
that felt weird staying in such a weird chaotic that single line
33:31
I'm pulling as a. Trailer and that's gonna be
33:34
that's our teaser trailer for this episode.
33:36
OK, Yeah. OK, OK.
33:40
It's time to rate it. It is time to rate it.
33:43
Man, this one is a lot of fun. Like I said before, this is one
33:46
of my favorite in the series. I am gonna go against the grain
33:50
on it. I'm gonna give it a nine.
33:52
I'm gonna give it a 7 1/2. OK, OK.
33:55
I think it's a lot of fun. I enjoyed it a lot more the
33:58
first time, like just turning off my brain and watching it
34:00
when I was taking notes with it. There were a couple parts where
34:02
it felt like it dragged on maybe just a little bit.
34:05
But I still think it's, I don't understand why this is a movie
34:08
that people do not talk about more in the franchise, you know?
34:11
Yeah, I've seen a lot of people complain about it and I think
34:14
one of the things I used to see was they felt it wasn't enough
34:18
weather face, but I feel like it's the same amount of the
34:21
weather face as we get in a lot of other ones.
34:24
Yeah. Also, I feel like we should
34:26
mention we watched the unrated version.
34:29
There are legitimate complaints about the R1 because they talked
34:32
about that in the documentary too.
34:34
They had to do a lot of cuts, which is weird because Part 2,
34:39
they were they released that one unrated, but they he was
34:42
contractually obligated to release an R rated movie for
34:45
this one. So they had to cut a lot of the
34:49
gore out and yeah, that, I think that's part of where that
34:54
tagline comes from, because there were news flying like news
34:57
clippings of like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, like cut down severely
35:01
or whatever, like it was. And there were people that
35:03
protested the movie and everything too.
35:05
It was kind of weird. OK.
35:08
That makes sense then if you have the option definitely watch
35:10
the unrated version because seeing the differences they did
35:13
some comparisons in that thing and you get a very new product
35:17
on the R rated cut. I I'm just thinking about like
35:21
our comparisons to the TV versus uncut version of Tremors.
35:26
Oh yeah, and stay alive, yeah. Yeah.
35:30
OK. So we have a starting average of
35:32
8.25. Good, which I think this movie
35:34
has earned. Let's see if it holds up under
35:37
scrutiny. Let's give it a shot.
35:40
So Sally Hardesty died in a private health facility in 1977.
35:45
WE Sawyer was the only living family member found he was tried
35:50
since WE. Sawyer.
35:52
I don't know which one that was. They changed the names in.
35:54
This. Yeah, I think.
35:55
It was supposed to be the cook. He was sentenced to death and he
36:00
was put to death via gas in 1981, and the jury just kind of
36:04
decided that Leatherface was just his alter ego that he put
36:08
on. They were the mask, they were
36:10
just trying to get a conviction. I think, yeah, it felt like
36:13
really sloppy lawyer work, you know, and then it also let the
36:16
cops, like, not have to look for this lawyers anymore.
36:18
Yeah, so they gas chambered him and that's pretty much it.
36:22
Yep, we opened up with a woman getting sledged, hammered in the
36:26
face. She's killed.
36:28
I didn't write anything about this opening because it felt
36:31
inconsequential, truly. Well, it kind of sets some
36:34
things up because we get him doing that.
36:36
He's cutting open like he's cutting the face off and putting
36:38
it up. But we see the girl that ends up
36:41
being the survivor is watching him the entire time and you kind
36:44
of like we were talking about. I think our meant to believe
36:47
she's part of the family, but she's afraid of him.
36:50
She hides from him and he goes and like he hears her but
36:54
doesn't see her. So what we've got to a couple,
36:57
Michelle and Ryan, they're on a road trip, but basically they're
37:01
breaking up and they're driving from LA to Florida.
37:05
So this is a really uncomfortable road trip to just
37:07
break up on because she said she she's supposed to be going to
37:10
New York after they drop her car off with her dad.
37:13
Thinks you want to be an accountant.
37:15
Probably if that's where you go to be an accountant.
37:17
Yeah, that's the place. So I, I don't know why he's on
37:23
this trip. He seems kind of like, I don't
37:26
know, we don't have enough context of what the conversation
37:29
was beforehand, but she said acting like enough of a Dick
37:31
during this. And I'm like, I can't give a
37:33
chance to get away from you, dude.
37:34
She said that she wanted us to be their one last hurrah
37:37
together, but he is like, well, like, what's the point?
37:41
We're breaking up anyways? This feels kind of moot.
37:45
So then why did he come on the trip?
37:46
I don't know. Yeah, I think he should have
37:49
like made the call to stay if he felt this.
37:51
Way yeah, like if we're breaking up anyway, don't want to be
37:53
together, I'm going to be a Dick to you the whole time like why
37:56
make us both miserable and ride in the car his.
37:58
Pee Pee was saying breakup sex, but his heart was saying I don't
38:02
think I really want to be. Here right now.
38:05
So then they get stuck in some traffic where we've got like CSI
38:10
and 1st responders are uncovering a mass grave.
38:13
Yeah, it's like a big body pit. Yeah.
38:17
They have found 40 to 50, but then.
38:21
Or 50 to 70. The news reporter like cuts
38:23
immediately after the cop told him that it's like 60 to 70.
38:26
Like is the reporter lying or is the cop lying?
38:29
Yeah, you. Or did they just find more in
38:31
between now and then? But there's like a roadblock And
38:34
yeah, they're like just stopping people in the way.
38:36
Yes, yeah, they're checking to see if there's no reason to be
38:39
suspicious. And Michelle's like, yeah, no,
38:41
we're just dropping from LA to Florida.
38:43
And the cop's like, mm, hmm, sure.
38:44
And she goes, yeah, I'm leaving the car to my dad.
38:47
I've got the bill of sales right here.
38:49
Yeah. Why didn't you fly, ma'am?
38:51
And she's like, well, I'm delivering the car, Sir.
38:54
And he's like, OK then. Yeah, OK, so now it's the next
38:58
day again. I don't even know if they
39:00
stopped but. Yeah, time is very loosey goosey
39:03
in this movie. And we talked about this before
39:05
about we forget how big Texas is, but like, I'm so stressed
39:09
thinking about what was their, how did they handle stops?
39:12
Like she said, she just wanted to get through Texas.
39:15
Yeah, I think they drove overnight, which explains why
39:18
they are so sleep deprived that they hit an armadillo.
39:21
Yeah, and they pull over and it's in pain and she's gonna put
39:25
it out of its misery, but she can't bring herself to do it, so
39:28
she makes Ryan do. It don't worry if you're
39:31
concerned we won't see the full character arc relating to Mercy
39:34
killing the armadillo, it'll happen.
39:37
Yeah, yeah. Don't worry.
39:38
It comes full circle. So they make it to a gas
39:43
station, they're gonna gas up. And use the bathroom.
39:47
Yep, she's going to go use the bathroom.
39:48
And that's just like flooded me back with memories of being like
39:52
on road trips. And I hate, hate the gas
39:55
stations where the entrance to the bathroom is on the outside
39:58
because you know those are going to be gross bathrooms.
40:00
They're always going to be gross and they're always going to be
40:02
creepy. Like 10 * / I would take the gas
40:06
station bathroom right down from our house that has the special
40:08
lights where you can't see your veins.
40:10
Like because that's indoors and it's a single stall and I feel
40:14
it's cleaner. Those.
40:17
Yeah, like. Less suspect.
40:19
See, and the the extra part that makes some of these bad is like
40:22
you have to go ask for the key, which, yeah, hello, we're from
40:25
Kentucky. We get it.
40:26
We people use in these bathrooms.
40:28
I get why there's a yeah policy for that, but like there was a
40:33
time where I had to do that. I was like, fuck that.
40:35
And I went outside the gas station.
40:36
I just peed right then and there so.
40:40
Yeah, I just also like the dignity of having to ask for a
40:43
key to do something like all humans do.
40:46
Like, I don't know, I just, it's just a bummer, man.
40:51
Yeah, it is, but they are interrupted by Alfredo, who is
40:57
this movie's hitchhiker. Yeah.
40:59
Camera. He has a sack of Knick knacks
41:02
and he takes a picture of Michelle and he tries to barter
41:05
with her like the hitchhiker does.
41:07
Yeah, and she's uncomfortable. Tex comes in, interrupts and I
41:12
feel like he is also uncomfortable with her, but she
41:15
accepts his flirting a little bit more.
41:17
Do you think Texas is uncomfortable with her?
41:19
Yeah, Texas is like trying to be a little flirty here.
41:22
Yeah, and I like again, I'm at a gas station, I stop to pee and
41:26
get gas. I did not come here to be
41:28
flirted with and watch some man lick blood off my front bumper.
41:31
She is surprisingly receptive. To that's what I'm saying.
41:34
Like I wrote, Alfredo is very scary and other guy says that he
41:38
hasn't been the same since he lost his job at the
41:40
slaughterhouse is also creepy but Michelle is into it.
41:43
Yeah. And Ryan isn't really not into
41:47
that because he's like, can you all give me a ride?
41:50
And he's like, Ryan's like, Nope, Nope, no chance.
41:51
We got to go. We got to drop off a car.
41:53
He's like, I know where we can stop for a drink.
41:56
Yeah, I'll give you all burgers. And then Michelle's like, I
41:58
don't know, maybe we can get him.
42:00
And then like Ryan shoots her like daggers.
42:03
Which, yeah, also like. Not cool if you were like, you
42:06
know, if The thing is over, whatever, But I think it's still
42:08
a little bit too fresh to do that in front of, you know, your
42:11
ex. I think that's still a Dick
42:12
move. Also, just don't invite a
42:14
stranger into your car. Like, I get it, sometimes people
42:16
really are truly down on their luck and need a ride somewhere,
42:19
but absolutely not under no circumstances.
42:22
Yeah, not anymore. No, fuck.
42:23
That there there are ways to help people without doing that.
42:26
And if you don't have ways to help them without like inviting
42:28
them in your hurry, just say really sorry I'm unable to
42:30
assist you because same concept with gas stations needing to use
42:34
keys. It's a bummer and it sucks but
42:36
also like. It's reality, man.
42:38
Yeah, it's the world we live in. But Michelle's like, OK, I'm
42:41
gonna go pee. So she goes to the bathroom,
42:44
Alfredo goes inside, and he starts to peek behind the, like,
42:48
poster in a hole in the wall where the Alfredo can see it
42:51
all. And Travis and Tex goes in,
42:59
catches him peep and tosses him out of the gas station.
43:03
Michelle comes out and finds out what went down.
43:05
This causes a ruckus with Alfredo who goes and gets a
43:08
shotgun and holds him up and Tex is like go on get so and they
43:14
get in their car and peel out and as they're doing that
43:16
Alfredo shoots the windshield, the back windshield of the car
43:20
and then seemingly shoots techs so.
43:22
As well. Yeah, so they're like freaking
43:25
out about all this and they're just driving off and they don't
43:28
want to stop except they they blow their tire out and it's
43:32
night time again when this happens.
43:34
Yeah, and they were pulled over there replacing the tire.
43:38
As they're doing that, Michelle's holding the wipe, but
43:40
she keeps hearing a squeaky step that's coming and approaching.
43:44
Here's where I get Ryan's frustration with her.
43:47
She's like, I need the light, Michelle.
43:50
Everybody that has done work with their dad is having bad
43:53
flashlights or flashbacks here, like holding the flashlight.
43:58
I've been that boy and I like this.
44:00
Tool that like it's a flashlight but the other end is like a
44:03
flashing light which is good for like warning other cars like.
44:07
Yeah, pulled. Over with issues.
44:09
It's it's good and roadside tool for sure.
44:12
They are not able to fully get the tire installed before a
44:16
leather face shows up with this chainsaw and goes Burr.
44:19
Yeah. And they hop in the car and he
44:22
starts carving up the side of it and then he.
44:25
Pulls off the trunk as they drive away.
44:27
Yeah, this car has like a really bad time shifting in the gear.
44:30
They're able to like, put it in reverse and hit him.
44:32
Yeah, but like, he's able to get back up because they can't shift
44:35
it in the drive. Yeah.
44:36
By the time he does, he chainsaws the back of it and
44:38
grabs onto it. And then, yeah, he just Yanks
44:41
the entire trunk off the. Yeah, so they drive and they're
44:44
driving and Ryan's like, hey, we're far enough away, we need
44:46
to pull over and tighten the lug nuts.
44:48
And she's like, Nope, not stopping.
44:49
And he's like, we have to or we are going to lose the tire and
44:52
then we will be in real big trouble.
44:54
Yeah, they don't want to do that.
44:55
Yeah, so they pull over to titanium.
44:59
No, they are about. To pull over, tighten.
45:01
Them but as they are, we see Ken Ferray Benny he is driving down
45:06
the other side of the road. They have who I now realize is
45:11
Tinker pop out in the middle of the road, which causes them to
45:15
swerve and then just go off the road.
45:19
They Benny didn't see that guy. He just saw them and I guess he
45:23
also wrecked. Because they drove inside the
45:25
lane, they were about to hit him.
45:27
He starts to avoid being hit. His Jeep flips.
45:29
They go down the embankment. Yeah.
45:32
And so he gets out and he goes to check on him, and Ryan has
45:35
crawled out of the wreckage. Fuck Michelle, Right?
45:38
They're broken up. Whatever.
45:39
Michelle's knocked out, yeah. Yeah.
45:41
And Benny comes down there and he's like, no, there's this guy.
45:45
There's like a lot of them. They're planning an attack.
45:48
They got a chainsaw. And that's when Benny goes,
45:50
yeah, yeah, those militant numbers.
45:52
Sure, sure. Yup, Yup.
45:55
I don't know why, but that is the funniest fucking response
45:58
that I could have ever. And like, here's The thing is, I
46:01
like to help people, but I'm also kind of a Dick and I could
46:04
see myself saying something like that.
46:06
It just doesn't track with this character though because he's a
46:08
doomsday prepper and he like comes out to these parts to do
46:11
training. That's on the weekend.
46:12
That's not what he's preparing for.
46:14
He doesn't think that the world is going to go down in a flaming
46:18
bottle of militant lumberjacks. You know, he thinks it's going
46:20
to be like bombing or nuclear weaponry.
46:24
Yeah, that's true. He's but he's prepared for this.
46:27
They managed to get Michelle out of the car and she's awake and
46:30
she's saying the same thing. Oh shit, this is real.
46:33
Yeah, so he heads up. He's like, don't worry, I can
46:35
handle this. Take these pills.
46:37
Don't ask any questions until after you've followed them.
46:40
Give them the pills and then he's like by the way, they will
46:43
make you drowsy. They're like what the fuck dude,
46:45
they are so mad. Right for me.
46:47
So so Ryan is pre Med and his reaction is like we gotta move
46:51
around and metabolize these in our system not hey finger down
46:56
the throat real quick. Yeah, you could throw them up.
46:58
You could totally do that man. What a dummy.
47:02
And I like this part cuz this is so relatable where he is like
47:06
Michelle, Michelle, we gotta go. She's like, she's like, I'm too
47:09
sleepy. I get it.
47:10
Like leave me alone, I'll die. 100% yeah.
47:14
There have been plenty of times and I'm like, somebody's here,
47:16
kill me. Like just kill me in my sleep.
47:19
I'm tired. There have been times.
47:20
It's fun, Jesse. Let's go to bed like.
47:22
No. It's like 5:00 AM, we need to go
47:24
and lay down in bed. I'm more comfortable on the
47:27
couch. I'm old now and my back and neck
47:31
will hate me for it in the morning, but right now it feels
47:33
good. It's.
47:34
Just funny. So Benny goes up to his Jeep and
47:38
he sees, what do you know, a guy with the tow truck set in flares
47:41
on the side of. The Yeah, And he's like, cool,
47:44
can you help me flip my Jeep back up?
47:46
He goes, what do you think I'm doing this?
47:49
Guy's way too aggressive. He's got like 20 flares set up.
47:53
There is nobody else coming, man.
47:56
What is he doing? Yeah, what is?
47:58
And really, he's just like he's making a lane because it's like
48:00
one over here and one over here. They're parallel with each
48:02
other. Yeah, it's almost like a landing
48:05
strip. That's what he was.
48:06
He was like, this is my road to where I'm gonna hit your Jeep.
48:09
Yeah, I'm just letting you know this is the direction I'm going.
48:12
He's. Theatrical he is.
48:13
They said it. They say it later like he likes
48:15
to put Chrome on everything. Anything.
48:17
This is the Chrome for the for the killing.
48:20
Scene dude OK before by the way we we saw a gas right at the gas
48:25
station and truck pull out. I want to dub this truck weather
48:29
truck because it also has the weather on the hood of the car.
48:34
It has weather on its face. There are people who put covers
48:38
on their cars like that around here, so that way they don't get
48:40
like, I guess like salt from the road.
48:44
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I just thought it was
48:46
funny that they, like, put a weather face on the truck too.
48:49
So Benny goes into the bed of the truck and sees a chainsaw
48:55
there, and he's like, oh shit. Oh shit, it's one of the
48:56
lumberjacks. So he's like, hey, hold on one
49:00
second. I gotta go get something from my
49:01
Jeep before we flip my Jeep. And Tinker's sitting there going
49:05
like, this is kind of suspicious.
49:07
So he lets then he go over there and Benny, of course, he has
49:11
named his gun. And of course it's Lucille.
49:12
Hell yeah. And so he's trying to get
49:14
Lucille together, but all his training ain't worth nothing.
49:18
You can't grab a bullet to save. Cannot.
49:21
Does he take some of these pills too?
49:23
He's popping pills, OK, There's no question.
49:25
He's like, don't worry, my tolerance is much higher.
49:27
I can have a pill and be OK. He.
49:29
Is the reason why there are keys at these gas stations?
49:32
Oh no, not Benny. Yeah, but he's got his gun and
49:37
he's grabbing enough bullets and Tinker just he's like, fuck it,
49:41
he goes full throttle and he hits the Jeep full throttle.
49:44
Benny jumps out of the way just in.
49:46
Time. Yep.
49:47
And then he goes down the hill and Leather Pace is ready down
49:51
there. So they fight and during the
49:53
file Leatherface drops his saw and that's when he pulls out his
49:55
little Dremel saw from his pocket.
49:57
I love. It it was so cool.
49:59
It's amazing. Yeah.
50:00
I love that they did that. Meanwhile, the girl from the
50:03
opening turns out is on the people side.
50:06
Yeah, 'cause she lures, yeah, she lures Leatherface away, and
50:09
when she gets them away, she leaves back around and she is
50:12
directing Benny on where they can go to try and be safe.
50:14
Meanwhile, Ryan and Michelle have woken up.
50:17
They're trying to walk off the myths.
50:19
Yeah, Benny is with the girl here.
50:23
She has her hand injured. It's like cut.
50:27
And she says that she's been out there a week.
50:29
She's the only one left. They got her sister.
50:32
Yeah. No, her sister's already dead.
50:34
Well. Yeah, that's why, yeah, she was
50:36
on the road with her. Sister.
50:37
Yeah. She was on the road with her
50:38
sister. They stopped because they saw a
50:39
man that they thought was hurt and it was actually a trap.
50:42
Yeah. So kind of the same thing that
50:43
happened to Ron and Michelle. And Benny is like trying to
50:49
figure out what their plan's gonna be.
50:50
And then he hears Michelle shouting for him.
50:52
So he's like, OK, I'm gonna go help.
50:55
And we're gonna see if maybe we can also draw the bad guys out
50:57
into the light. And he leaves the woman behind.
51:00
And when he leaves her behind, Leatherface comes in and kills
51:04
her with a little stealthy Nick Wranglin.
51:07
Yeah, he gets her up against the tree and saucer.
51:10
Yeah. And that was one of the kills
51:12
that really got neutered with the R rated cut.
51:15
Right there, really. Yeah, you don't see anything.
51:18
Yeah. So Benny is wandering around.
51:21
He's a he's by a swamp now, and he sees some booby traps or so,
51:25
and he sets one off. Yeah.
51:26
Ryan and Michelle go running. Yeah, because they hear this
51:29
all. And as they're running, Ryan
51:31
falls because he gets caught in a bear trap.
51:34
And he tells Michelle to just keep going because there's no
51:36
way for him to get out. It would have been funny if this
51:40
is where they broke up. It's just like Guy.
51:44
It'd just be like Ryan. I think we should see other
51:47
people just and it just runs off.
51:49
It would have been funny. She runs and of course she finds
51:53
a house and when she goes and she knocks on the door, nobody
51:56
answers, so she goes inside. Bad calling.
52:00
Every time. Do not go into a house that you
52:04
do not know the owner of, especially not in Texas, but
52:07
they have guns. Yeah, it's, it's never gonna.
52:10
Be It's always a bad idea, yeah. She sees a little tiny child at
52:15
the top of the stairs that's crying.
52:17
So. So she follows her up there, and
52:19
she sees a little girl and she's a cradle in her doll.
52:21
And she's like, oh, you got a doll?
52:23
And the little girl turns it around.
52:24
And I assume this has to be like, when guests in our house
52:27
see Talia with one of her toys, and she brings them over and
52:30
their faces are torn open. Yeah, yeah.
52:32
She's like, oh, so see. Oh, no, because yeah, she's just
52:35
playing with a sack of bones, quite literally.
52:39
And so she's kind of freaked out, and then the little girl
52:45
stabs her leg while she's distracted this kid.
52:47
'S a fucking little shit. Holy hell.
52:50
I did not expect her to stab. Her and as Michelle is reeling
52:54
from the what the fuck of it all, Tex is behind her and grabs
52:57
her and then nails her two edge hair with some nasty 3 inch wood
53:04
nails. Yeah, yeah, I was getting a
53:07
little worried and I was like, no, not another dinner scene.
53:10
Yeah, well, don't worry, it's OK.
53:12
Yeah, they did kind of milk her, for lack of a better term, so
53:15
that way they could just, you know, bottle feed the blood to
53:19
Grandpa. But we don't have him like
53:21
suckling anymore. He's dead.
53:23
Yeah, they're still pouring the blood on his face.
53:25
Yeah, that was another thing that they actually acknowledge,
53:27
like he's actually dead. They just keep his mummified
53:30
body around. Thank God that they fully
53:32
acknowledge it. So here's another thing I like
53:34
about this movie. We have Alfredo now he's
53:37
wondering the swamp, the woods, and he's just like muttering to
53:40
himself about all this shit. He's like, I'll fucking get your
53:42
text. I.
53:43
I get it though. Like I'm one of those.
53:45
I talk to myself so much when I'm alone, and it's real
53:48
embarrassing at work when I think I'm alone in my office and
53:50
then somebody walks in and I'm like, how much of that did you
53:52
hear? It's just, I love the way he
53:54
speaks, like he's just got this like accent, like this voice to
53:59
him. It's funny.
54:00
I like it. Tinker arrives back home.
54:03
He's he brings Ryan with him and he has a special present for
54:08
Leatherface also, which is a be chromed saw with a little curly
54:13
cue and some fancy engraving that says the saw is family and
54:18
I really like the love and care that tinker put into that for
54:21
him. I did you know what this is what
54:24
sometimes fan family is better than like the blood family it.
54:28
Is nice. Can you imagine getting this
54:29
thing custom ordered? It had to be a custom order.
54:32
You don't just go into a shop and get that.
54:33
I mean it had the engraved I think.
54:35
Tinker did it himself, I think that's why he was called.
54:37
Tinker, you think? Oh, you know, I bet you're
54:39
right. Yeah, they would.
54:41
They talked about this chainsaw. Apparently that chainsaw was 80
54:44
lbs. I believe it.
54:47
I think most chainsaws are probably decently heavy, but.
54:49
I said that was the biggest chainsaw you could order.
54:51
It's huge. Dang.
54:53
For any of you people who are aware of Sephiroth, that's like
54:56
Sephiroth's sword right there for chainsaws.
54:58
It's the biggest fucking thing you can get.
55:01
But Tinker's like, wait a minute, did you get your present
55:05
a little bit too soon? Because there's one person that
55:07
you didn't get out there and. So he takes.
55:11
Yeah, so Leatherface had taken the Walkman off of Ryan and
55:16
really likes listening to the music and whatnot and.
55:19
He went over to Michelle and he's like, hey, you hear this
55:22
song? This is kind of.
55:23
Cool right, He's trying to share with her and she was not into
55:25
it. So he's like, fine, more for me.
55:27
And then Tinker because he can't take back the Saul because he
55:31
was too excited about it, right? So he was like, I'm gonna take
55:33
this toy from ya. And he tosses it into the fire.
55:36
And then Leatherface does the whole thing like we mentioned
55:38
before, where he makes him fetch it out with his non hook hand.
55:41
I fucking love it. And then he goes to Mama.
55:43
I know. And he was just like, so like,
55:46
pathetic. And he was.
55:47
Like, you know what this was? This was Talia Energy when she's
55:50
getting bullied by the cats and she goes over there and sticks
55:52
up for herself and then she comes over to us and she's like,
55:54
did you guys see that? Usually there is so.
55:56
Mean to me there. Is there are tenths of my weight
55:59
but there are so mean to me. Scary.
56:02
It's so. Scary.
56:03
They've got claws. It's that energy.
56:06
It makes you. Feel bad for Weatherface.
56:08
And the whole time we're like, yeah, I know baby, there's no
56:11
mean to you. They shouldn't act like.
56:12
That How do these movies continue to make Weatherface
56:15
sympathetic? I don't know.
56:17
It's because they make them childlike.
56:20
Probably, yeah. I'm like, I do just want to
56:22
like, adopt him and let him listen to his tapes and do his
56:24
crafts, you know? Yeah, Also one of my favorite
56:27
things I noticed if you look on the fridge, you can see they
56:30
they've got old drawings on there and the little girl has
56:34
like done a drawing of Leatherface with his mask on in
56:36
chainsaw and everything. It's like just like a kid
56:38
drawing. That's that's a cute addition.
56:40
It was really sweet, I thought it was funny.
56:43
Also I should mention Ryan is alive.
56:45
Yeah. He is like cut up but they hang
56:48
him up on the meat hooks. And he's just going.
56:51
Yeah, and they're about to kill him, but then the little girl's
56:54
like, hey, I want to do it this time.
56:57
So they got a count to 3 and when they do she pulls the cord
57:00
and it releases a hammer and just.
57:03
Yeah, that was another scene that was really big that needed
57:05
to be cut. You don't see any of that in the
57:08
arc. Like they she pulls the thing
57:10
and that's that. They don't even show the
57:12
sledgehammer. No, no, you can't.
57:14
They had to cut it. Yeah, entirely.
57:16
What the hell? I know it sucks.
57:17
That was so cool. I think that they were, they
57:19
felt really bad about that because they even show that on
57:22
the DVD menu. If you go to the special
57:24
features and you hit that, that's what it is.
57:26
It's like, here's the cut and it's like a sledgehammer hits
57:30
him in the face. Meanwhile, out in the woods,
57:32
Benny sneaks up on Alfredo or Fred, depending on how
57:36
comfortable you feel talking to him, and he's got the gun, but
57:40
instead of shooting him, he just like, hits him with the butt of
57:42
the gun and then dumps him in the water.
57:46
He thinks it kills him, which, you know, Benny, you're not that
57:49
strong. Well, it doesn't matter because
57:52
he's on a mission. He finds the house and then
57:56
through the window he sees Michelle tied up and here he's
57:58
like all the shouting and whatnot and.
58:00
Leatherface is doing his lessons.
58:02
Here. Yeah.
58:03
And Leatherface has been sent after him.
58:04
You know, he's bullied by his brothers.
58:06
He's sent to go do his lessons out in the garage.
58:09
It's such a good scene, so fucking good, I love that.
58:12
And then Benny shoots. He shoots Mama a lot.
58:16
He shoots off Tinker's ear, I think.
58:20
Finger finger. He shoots off his earring like
58:23
his lobe. I think they get he nixed his.
58:25
Ear. I feel like I saw an entire ear
58:27
on the ground. You know, actually I think
58:29
you're right. I think he does get his ear, but
58:30
also his finger because that was another thing that they didn't
58:33
show. They just show him hold up his
58:34
hand and then they don't even show his finger get shot off.
58:37
My words are really mashed together on my notes and it
58:40
looks like I wrote Stinker. Yeah, Throughout the chaos,
58:43
Michelle wriggles free from her restraints.
58:45
No, she doesn't wriggle free. She pulls her hand through the
58:49
nail. Yeah.
58:50
She's also. Tied up?
58:51
Yeah, she is tied up, but I feel like she needs credit for doing
58:55
that. Yeah.
58:55
That's badass. Yeah.
58:56
Yeah, use that adrenaline. So she makes it out of there and
59:00
she's freaked out whenever Benny grab surveys.
59:03
I guess me, it's me. Yeah.
59:05
And then Leatherface comes out and so they kind of divide and
59:07
conquer. She lures Leatherface into the
59:09
woods, and Benny and Tinker fight, or Benny and Tex fight,
59:13
rather. Tex comes out and there's like a
59:16
bunch of gas spilled on the ground.
59:18
And eventually what Benny does is he uses that gas trail and
59:22
lights up text. Hell yeah.
59:25
So, Michelle. She gets caught in a trap.
59:28
Snare. I thought that, said Cher.
59:30
And I was trying to figure out what that meant.
59:31
Yeah, she falls in a snare and it.
59:33
Drags her into the swamp, yeah, just filled with more bodies.
59:38
She manages to crawl out, but as she's crawling out, she's.
59:41
Leatherface comes running up. Yeah, Alfredo is here.
59:44
At some point the Leatherface comes up and is about to attack
59:48
her, but Benny has followed and he tackles her before you can
59:50
get her. And he, they're fighting in the
59:54
swamp, pond, whatever, and the chainsaw is in the water and
59:58
leather. Her face holds Benny up against
1:00:00
the chainsaw. So we think that he is dead.
1:00:03
And then he comes out and is ready to fight Michelle.
1:00:06
And she starts, This is the full circle moment with the armadillo
1:00:10
because she couldn't do it before, but she's doing it now.
1:00:12
She's got a big boulder and she's saying sorry little guy,
1:00:16
sorry little guy. She keeps bonking him in the
1:00:19
head and then he just falls back into the swamp and she's done.
1:00:24
Yeah, I think the Alfredo stuff was from the ultra ending
1:00:26
because he pops up during this part.
1:00:28
No, that's actually Tex. Was it?
1:00:30
Tex Yeah, cuz they confirmed that in the thing.
1:00:33
Yeah, like he's cuz he's all fried up.
1:00:36
You can't even recognize that. Makes sense.
1:00:37
Yeah, he's like crispy. Well, in this version, in this
1:00:40
ending, we cut to the next morning.
1:00:41
Michelle was on the road and she's walking.
1:00:43
And this is what I was talking about, where she like, she's
1:00:45
just so exposed and I feel so stressed, but she thinks she's
1:00:48
killed everybody until the truck pulls up and then she's freaked
1:00:51
out. But you know, he's driving.
1:00:54
He's Benny. Yeah, I think it's OK.
1:00:55
It's me. Yeah, getting in the truck.
1:00:57
Yeah, I wish we had a little bit more of an explanation like.
1:01:00
I know they didn't even. They're like, well, people like
1:01:02
him, so whatever. Yeah, they just show up, I
1:01:04
guess. Yeah, like I mean Bill Moseley
1:01:07
in the last movie had a metal plate in his head and even not
1:01:10
got damaged by the saw, so I wish like.
1:01:13
They like the you know, the alternate ending shows him get
1:01:16
cut. Up hard with.
1:01:17
That chainsaw, yeah, but they cut that in this ending.
1:01:21
So they're about to have their like, yay, happy moment drive
1:01:25
off and then Alfredo appears and he hits Benny and Michelle gets
1:01:30
into the back of the truck and finds a gun and she is holding
1:01:35
it up against him. And he goes, what do you even
1:01:36
know about how to use that thing?
1:01:37
And then? Yeah, gets shotgunned.
1:01:41
Yep. And they she goes out and gets
1:01:44
Benny and gets him back in the truck.
1:01:45
He tries to get in the driver's seat and she's like no, no, no.
1:01:49
No, yeah, here, take one of your mini pills.
1:01:51
Yeah. And then they drive off, and as
1:01:54
they're driving off, we hear some squeaky steps approach and
1:01:57
it's a leather face. And he pulls the chain.
1:02:02
Yep, that's how the movie ends. That's.
1:02:04
How the story goes. All righty, what do you think?
1:02:08
What do you? Think I'll bump it to an 8.
1:02:10
OK. Yeah, I'll keep mine at nine.
1:02:12
Man. I I, I like this movie.
1:02:14
It's one of the more interesting Texas Chainsaw movies, if you
1:02:17
ask me. Yeah, I think it has.
1:02:19
They keep certain characters that are kind of the present
1:02:24
from the last ones, but they make them their own still.
1:02:28
And I don't know, I think we get more variety.
1:02:30
It's it's just it keeps the elements that I like the most
1:02:35
about the series intact, and it expands on the things I like the
1:02:39
most, like the chasing and the it's suspense and weather face.
1:02:45
I like what they do with him in this movie too.
1:02:47
I think it's fun. Yeah, OK.
1:02:50
I think the only thing I would really change is maybe just
1:02:53
like, I just think there are a couple of moments where I'm
1:02:56
like, do we really need this? Like with the opening credits, I
1:03:00
feel like that really didn't matter, you know what I mean?
1:03:03
Ultimately, no, I think it was. It did an OK thing of
1:03:06
establishing things like it's showing us Weather Face and
1:03:08
showing us this girl that's going to be a part of the movie,
1:03:11
but she's really not that big of a thing.
1:03:13
Yeah, exactly. I think if you're going to have
1:03:15
her, maybe give her more of a role like she's, I think it's
1:03:18
cool that they killed her off still, but she just kind of
1:03:21
showed up and died. It was so like it almost felt
1:03:24
like you could have cut that and it had really not much of an
1:03:27
impact on the overall thing. Yeah, exactly.
1:03:30
No count. What did Talia think?
1:03:34
So Talia was, she was hungry and growly at the beginning of the
1:03:39
movie. Yeah, she was just, she was very
1:03:41
activated. She was very intense.
1:03:44
And then we paused halfway through for FOOD, I will say,
1:03:49
and afterwards she was pretty calm.
1:03:51
As the movie begin, she made me itch her face.
1:03:53
She had an itchy face, which I think was the hint at weather
1:03:56
face because she noticed the importance of faces in this.
1:03:59
And then she began chewing on me, which she recognizes that
1:04:03
this is a cannibal movie. Yeah.
1:04:05
So she's like, you know what? I guess I'll eat you too.
1:04:06
Yeah, so she was giving her approval for watching the movie.
1:04:09
Yeah. Momentaliness today because I
1:04:11
was like, you know what, This is important.
1:04:12
I think she wants me to know this.
1:04:14
OK. So I think maybe Taya will give
1:04:17
this an 8 because she ate and they ate in the movie and yeah.
1:04:22
I think she wagged Leatherface saying that people are food.
1:04:25
Yeah, yeah, Zoe's open. A warrior can't say Leatherface.
1:04:30
I know I can't say Leatherface. Because it's a.
1:04:32
Shame because of the FOOD. AI know.
1:04:36
I guess the little girl because Zoe chases bugs and whatnot and
1:04:40
will play with their carcasses. I almost want to give her
1:04:43
Alfredo. Because she runs around and
1:04:47
talks to herself. Yeah, she does.
1:04:49
At night she runs around meowing when nobody's around.
1:04:53
I think she might be like airing her grievances.
1:04:55
I could see that she was. Dude, we had to take them to the
1:04:58
vet this morning, and they were very angry about it.
1:05:01
But Zoe especially, We got home and let her out of the carrier.
1:05:04
And just, like, anytime we get near her, she'd just go now.
1:05:06
Yeah. Like she wasn't making us get
1:05:08
away, but like she would let us pet and she would just like look
1:05:10
at us be like meow. She was not a happy.
1:05:12
Camper, Yeah. She's probably so pissed at us.
1:05:14
Yeah, we'll probably walk out of here and she'd be like, I feel
1:05:16
like you owe me something, like more food or something.
1:05:19
OK, we'll give her Fred. Yeah, you know, you can also
1:05:22
call him Alf. OK, Alf eats cats.
1:05:28
I know you don't know this. Alf.
1:05:30
Exactly. The puppet.
1:05:32
Yeah. Oh, he eats cats?
1:05:34
Yeah, fuck that guy. I didn't know that.
1:05:38
Get the fuck out here, Alf. Go to your own planet.
1:05:43
OK, OK. Is it time for?
1:05:47
Rent No. No, it's a tagline.
1:05:51
No. Who'd you?
1:05:52
No. Who did you?
1:05:53
Who'd you relate to? Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
1:05:54
OK. I think I probably relate to
1:06:01
Benny because I can see myself saying something like the
1:06:04
militant Lumberjacks line. OK, Yeah, our way to Ryan.
1:06:13
Because often times I'm the one that has to kill things because
1:06:16
you can't muster up the shrink to kill things in this house.
1:06:18
Excuse. Me.
1:06:19
Yeah, exactly. Makes me sad.
1:06:21
So I'll, I'll have to step in and be the one with that rock
1:06:24
every now and then. OK.
1:06:26
All right. OK, we don't do dream sequels
1:06:29
for our franchise episodes, but for this one we are giving them
1:06:33
names for me to help remembering.
1:06:36
And this is a very good one, because unfortunately, when you
1:06:39
just say Leatherface, I think of the really bad sequel that I'm
1:06:43
dreading talking about in a few months.
1:06:45
This is a good opportunity. This is the perfect one to start
1:06:47
like really thinking hard about what we want to call this so you
1:06:50
can remember it I think. The Joyride Texas dream saw a
1:06:59
massive. Joyride.
1:06:59
And I was going to call it like Rd. games or something like
1:07:01
that. Joyride, joyride.
1:07:03
Joyride takes a chance on mass for joyride.
1:07:06
OK, Yeah, I think that that's good.
1:07:07
OK OK. Well, we'll do that.
1:07:10
All right. Now is time for attack line,
1:07:14
let's say. I know about baby bones.
1:07:18
I know about baby bones. OK, let's.
1:07:24
Do it. Yay.
1:07:25
I know about baby bones. Cool.
1:07:30
If you know, you know. Yeah, hard.
1:07:33
Where do I ride? Right there.
1:07:34
Where do I ride? All right, now it's time for
1:07:35
your movie out. OK, what you got must say.
1:07:42
All right, where did it go? Where did it go?
1:07:45
I. Wanna know hold.
1:07:51
On almost there. Almost there, Almost there.
1:07:59
OK, 3 out of 10. There's roadkill all over Texas.
1:08:04
There's so many problems with Leatherface Texas Chainsaw
1:08:06
Massacre three that I'm not sure where to begin, so I suppose
1:08:09
I'll try to limit my comments to the characters.
1:08:12
I couldn't have cared less whether the supposed heroes of
1:08:14
the movie lived or died. More unlikeable pair.
1:08:16
Do you really run across? The guy was a sniveling idiot
1:08:19
and the girl had even less personality.
1:08:21
Kill him and kill him quick, was the thought running through my
1:08:23
head. Second, we've got the characters
1:08:26
that make up leather faces. New family.
1:08:28
Who are these people and where did they come from?
1:08:30
I would have thought that the Texas Rangers would have
1:08:32
completely investigated the Sawyer family and discovered any
1:08:35
relative who may have taken in Leatherface after the events of
1:08:38
the 1st 2 movies. And are we supposed to believe
1:08:41
that the entire extended family is also made-up of inbred
1:08:43
cannibal serial killers? With a family as large as the
1:08:46
one presented in these movies, you would think that even if
1:08:48
just by chance, at least one member of the family would have
1:08:51
some reservations about hacking up innocent strangers.
1:08:54
I almost get the feeling that the makers of Leatherface, Texas
1:08:56
Chainsaw Massacre Three, would have us believe that everyone in
1:08:59
Texas is a nutty chainsaw welding maniac.
1:09:02
Finally, there's Leatherface. I'll just say that he's a sad
1:09:06
imitation of the original. And I know this has nothing to
1:09:08
do with the character of Leatherface, but what's that
1:09:10
engraved chainsaw all about? It's a completely ridiculous
1:09:13
concept. Dude, did you watch Part 2 come?
1:09:17
On that guy would not have liked the like different chainsaw
1:09:20
tryouts. No, no.
1:09:22
He would have hated that. He would be like, why are we
1:09:23
doing this? What's the point of this?
1:09:26
Well, I guess if you don't like the characters, it's going to be
1:09:29
hard for you to enjoy this movie because we do.
1:09:32
I mean, we don't stick with Ryan the entire time, but we stick
1:09:34
with Michelle the whole way. Yeah, I they they didn't hear
1:09:37
them say anything about Kim for Ray's character.
1:09:39
And I think that's one of the universally loved things about
1:09:43
this movie is people love his character.
1:09:45
I think that's why he left it off because he was like, I'm not
1:09:47
going to talk bad about Kim for Ray.
1:09:49
Yeah, yeah. I mean, if the family bit
1:09:53
really, you know, rubs you that raw, like it just if you look
1:09:59
into the movie, it's not extended family, it's found
1:10:01
family. It's a bunch of people that
1:10:03
found each other and you know they all are sticking to each
1:10:06
other because they have shared interests eating people.
1:10:09
Yeah. I do think that maybe that's one
1:10:11
of the things that they could have made a little bit clearer.
1:10:13
Yeah, I agree. Because I wouldn't have known
1:10:14
them. I would have I thought that this
1:10:16
is just like more biological family other than.
1:10:18
Yeah, She could have been like, and then and I ran across like,
1:10:21
instead of talking about private parts, she could have been like,
1:10:25
I found this sweet little boy on the side of the road and I said
1:10:28
he just needs someone to help him do his lessons.
1:10:30
And yeah, yeah, I think that would have probably benefited
1:10:33
for sure. But I, you know, like if it
1:10:38
didn't, I'm not going to pretend like this one's going to be good
1:10:42
for everybody. I think this one is a I can see
1:10:46
why it would be divisive. Yeah, like I can see it.
1:10:50
I still think it it's a lot more fun than I think it gets credit
1:10:53
for. Yeah, I agree.
1:10:54
And like I, like I said before, I mean it hits the things that I
1:10:58
like about the series. Yeah.
1:11:00
And if you like other aspects of like the first one or any of the
1:11:04
other ones that came after, then you know, like other movies will
1:11:08
do that one better. But this one, I thought it was
1:11:10
good. Yeah, I get it though.
1:11:12
I I totally understand. All right, now are we ready for
1:11:16
some listener reviews? I believe we are.
1:11:18
All right, so we will go over to Blue Ski first.
1:11:24
Yay. First up, we have Jason, who
1:11:27
says the story of Weatherface being forced to move across
1:11:31
Texas and shuffled into his extended families complicated
1:11:34
lives continue to unfold. The gore factor is definitely
1:11:37
upped in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 and it feels like they were
1:11:40
trying to keep up with other slashers of the time.
1:11:42
It stays pretty intense throughout the Sorry's All rule
1:11:45
and it's honestly just a really fun film.
1:11:47
You know, that's accurate right there, and I'm glad that you got
1:11:50
the extended family there. I guess it kind of does help if
1:11:53
you know that. And here's the other thing too,
1:11:56
is that like I think that's going to be more fun in my
1:12:00
favorite, the one that I always just called the do your thing
1:12:03
cuz one. Texas Chainsaw.
1:12:05
Sure, that's. It that's.
1:12:07
Those are the movies where I need to, I need the nicknames
1:12:10
for them. And yeah, so I like, I think
1:12:13
that's fun because the beginning is like, it's kind of a stand
1:12:16
out. It feels very much like the
1:12:18
beginning of Devil's Rejects where they have like the sand
1:12:21
off at the house. Yeah, it is a lot like that.
1:12:24
So I I like this idea of it is just an extended network of real
1:12:29
bad people, whether they're biological or not.
1:12:31
Yeah, yeah. It is fun though.
1:12:35
I do like the gore in this I mean cuz if you watch the
1:12:37
unrated cut you get to see it in all of its gory and they do a
1:12:40
good job. You got Greggy Nix, man?
1:12:42
Yeah, he's. Fucking good is Gregg fucking
1:12:44
Nick Otero. He's.
1:12:44
Good at his shit. Yeah.
1:12:48
OK. All right.
1:12:49
Next. One, yeah.
1:12:50
We have Chad. Chad says.
1:12:54
Texas Chainsaw Massacre Three. An absolute blast of a movie.
1:12:57
It's the equal to Part 2 in my eyes, while being quite
1:13:00
different in a number of ways. The film zips along at a fast
1:13:03
pace. I agree with that.
1:13:04
The pacing of this movie is really good.
1:13:06
Yeah, while still letting us know all we need to do about the
1:13:10
characters. Weather Face is written
1:13:11
perfectly. The family is bizarre and also
1:13:13
has the sweetest chainsaw I've ever seen.
1:13:16
Also included or also included is the world's shittiest BMW and
1:13:22
Ken for Ray, as Benny owns the movie for me.
1:13:25
I'd forgotten how squeezy this movie is. 8 1/2 out of 10.
1:13:28
All right. Hell yeah, man.
1:13:30
And then, yeah, Kim Frey's one of the shining moments.
1:13:32
I I'm kind of sad that he doesn't make a return.
1:13:35
Yeah, it would have been cool to see them actually do a sequel to
1:13:37
this one. Yeah.
1:13:38
Like how how they had planned. I like how the opening of this
1:13:42
kind of like fucks up a lot of what their plans end up being
1:13:45
for future sequels. Yeah.
1:13:47
I mean, obviously we'll talk about this next month when we
1:13:49
talk about next generation because they do have to kind of
1:13:53
wow. I'm proud of you.
1:13:54
You knew that one. Yeah, that's the Matthew
1:13:56
McConaughey one. Yeah.
1:13:58
Bye babe, can't wait. Can't wait, yeah?
1:14:03
All right, cool. I'm glad people like this one.
1:14:05
Yeah, maybe this one's kind of having its turn where people are
1:14:08
starting to. Really.
1:14:09
Talk about loader face. Yeah, Hell yeah.
1:14:12
All right, cool. That's it for the reviews for
1:14:14
this one. Thanks everybody for sending
1:14:16
those in. All right, so that's it for
1:14:19
April. We're moving into next month,
1:14:21
which is an theme month. It's promised.
1:14:24
Prom month everybody get your prom dates ready.
1:14:27
That's a special person now. 5 episodes. 5.
1:14:31
Episodes there's five Thursdays in May, so I'm just going to go
1:14:34
ahead and say it. The first one for next month is
1:14:36
going to be Prom Night 3. I'm glad you said that because I
1:14:38
was going to pick that if it had to come down to that.
1:14:40
But all right, I'll have another one to choose from.
1:14:43
Prom net three, that'll be the first one I'm not going to look
1:14:45
up. Birdies.
1:14:45
I got this already found it. It's on YouTube.
1:14:48
You can't stream it anywhere. It's one of those ones that you
1:14:50
can't find. OK.
1:14:51
It's like the release for it was really fucked up and it's just
1:14:55
really hard to obtain, but somebody uploaded it in full and
1:14:59
it's the unrated version and it's a good like a really good
1:15:01
scan. So if you need a link, ask me,
1:15:04
I'll send it to you. Or you can just go to YouTube
1:15:06
and type it in. You'll probably find it pretty
1:15:08
easily. And this one, it is a
1:15:11
continuation of the second one. Right.
1:15:13
It's a sequel to Part 2, yeah. All right, so where is that
1:15:17
Nostrom? Hell yeah, Yeah.
1:15:19
And we've never seen this one. Yeah.
1:15:20
So this will be your first watch Pretty.
1:15:22
Excited for it. I remember we like read the
