Summary

1974's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the prototype for the teen-and-20-something slasher films that would fill up theater marquees and video store shelves for the next 40 years. All the hallmarks are there: A set of bold and clueless antagonists, a mysterious, abandoned, and rural locale, a series of situational justifications, a mask-wearing killer, and an iconic weapon. With a brisk runtime, an air of surrealism and camp, and some incredibly strong performances (particularly in the film's second half), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a must-see for anyone interested in the genetic makeup of the horror genre as we know it, and we're thrilled to talk about it here on KnockBack.

0:15.6	Greetings and salutations. Welcome back to Knockback. My name is Colin Moriarty.
0:19.1	I'm joined as always by my brother, Dagen Franklin Moriarty. Dagen. Yes! Yes!
0:24.1	I knew it. And you are the Sally to my Franklin.
0:28.0	Certainly. And do you think the name Franklin now, do you think it was a literal like FDR?
0:34.4	Oh, I'm not sure. It was unique. It was like 25 years before he died, probably maybe 30 years.
0:42.1	Okay, 28, 29. I was just wondering that anyway. We'll get into the movie in a second.
0:47.4	It's too soon. It's too soon. Dagen, how are you today, my friend? How's everything going?
0:52.4	Everything's good. Yeah, just chilling on this October Sunday.
0:56.7	You know, it's been aggravating me this week, man. I don't know if I've ever
0:59.5	talked to you about this before, but I've thought of having this discussion with you.
1:03.0	And I don't know how much you know about this because you don't really have to deal with this
1:07.9	with work. I don't think. But maybe with some other stuff, I'm not sure. It's this dual
1:14.5	authentication thing with all things internet related with work.
1:21.1	So especially, I guess I've been doing this for years with various places that I've worked,
1:25.3	but now with COVID, I think, and just the state of internet security in general and hacking
1:30.6	and everything, everything has this dual authentication thing or triple authentication thing to access,
1:37.5	email to access various websites, servers at work. And I have this one. I understand why it's
1:47.1	implemented by the companies to secure their privacy and not get hacked into for various reasons,
1:54.6	financial and other reasons. But I have this one graphic server at work that it is like
