Summary

After Platinum Dune's Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot cut deep in the box office, another installment was inevitable, but with Leatherface left one-armed, and scene stealing R Lee Ermey's Sheriff Hoyt squashed like a Texas armadillo, where could the series go next? Platinum Dunes' answer was to make a prequel to their reboot, telling the origin story of the Hewett clan, including witnessing the birth of Leatherface, seeing how Ermey earned his sheriff's badge, and watching as the family dines for the first time on human flesh. Is this new film a tasty morsel to be savored, or just another rancid installment in a wayward horror franchise? Listen to find out!

The podcast which you are about to hear is an account of the horror suffered by a group of

three adults, Stuart, Arnie, and Brock. Though they had experienced horror before,

0:24.7

had they lived very, very long lives they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to

0:30.4

see as much of the mad and the macabre as they were to see with this retrospective series.

0:36.4

For them, a movie review podcast became a six piece symphony of terror. The events of this viewing

were to lead to one of the most bizarre podcasts in the annals of internet history.

I'm sorry it was funny, you didn't cite leather faces real name, that's because no one can say it.

And here we are again at the end of a retrospective series. Only this time, the end is the beginning.

Here's how you can tell. Did you see a scene early on in the movie where the bikers were

2:09.0

accosting the Jeep, and the biker chick puts the fingers like a V-tour lips and flaps her tongue?

2:16.2

No. Then you saw the rated version. I thought I was watching the unrated version because of

2:22.0

the very first scene in this movie, which we're talking about in a few minutes after we do this

2:25.5

and that. In the last one, I watched the unrated version as well, but the difference there was
