Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Who would go to brunch with Leatherface? Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

We've decided to mess with Texas Chainsaw Massacre. On a special bonus episode of the Cinemaholics Podcast, we review the new Netflix horror film directed by David Blue Garcia (Tejano) and produced by Fede Álvarez (Don't Breathe, Evil Dead). The film, which is a direct sequel to the 1974 original classic (and direct copy of 2018's Halloween) stars Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) and a few other people who probably wish this movie had never happened.
