S3E7 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (with Justin Krohn)

The podcast which you are about to listen to is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of three best friends, in particular Ashely Krohn and her older brother, (and our special guest) Justin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young(ish). But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to view as much of the mad and macabre as they were to watch on film that day. For them an idyllic winter movie double-feature became a nightmare. The events of that viewing were to lead to the discovery of two of the most bizarre due of films in the annals of American history. For our final installment in our SIBLINGS theme, we are honored to welcome film and television editor, Ashley's brother Justin to the pod, as he introduces Graham and Katie to 1974's Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's abysmal sequel, 1986's Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Starting with the horror film that gives a new meaning to the word "disturbing", the original classic introduced audiences to slasher icon Leatherface as we do a deep dive into the wonderful world of the horror genre. Then we take a HARD LEFT to discuss the camp, 80s coke-fueled insanity that is the Dennis Hopper-lead sequel where Leatherface makes his return, along with the rest of his revolting family. We chat a bit about what a film/tv editor does, some of Justin's past credits, and what it was like in the Krohn household when Ashley was FORCED to view one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema as a mere preteen (note: it was not either of these two movies). So rev up the chainsaw, try not to eat any chili beforehand, and pull up a seat at our dinner table for our last episode of 2022!
