Summary

This is my chainsaw. There are others like it, but this one is mine. After The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation limped quietly onto home video, it looked like Leatherface’s reign of terror had finally sputtered out. Then Michael Bay and his production company, Platinum Dunes, decided the franchise deserved a modern overhaul, delivering a remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. With a new Leatherface, a fresh batch of doomed teens, and R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket) chewing scenery as the sadistic Sheriff Hoyt, the remake leaned into grime, brutality, and high-production dread. It also kicked off Platinum Dunes’ run of horror reboots, later including new versions of Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Was this gritty reset the high-water mark for Platinum Dunes’ horror "rehab" era, or just the first in a series of disappointments? Rev up this podcast to hear Arnie, Stuart, and Brock decide whether this reboot stands tallest among the studio’s remakes. {Texas Chainsaw Massacre Series}
