The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 92 (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2)



The Uncut Gems Podcast

The Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.

In this episode of the show we are joined by our good buddy Jak to talk about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the movie's wildly singular energy, how it detaches itself from the iconic predecessor with its tone and approach to violence, the various connotations suggesting it attempts to be a comedy and how Rob Zombie must be in love with this movie! We also wonder how it must have been for Dennis Hopper to star in this movie, if Caroline Williams is Jamie Lee Curtis you can afford, and the notion of putting up Christmas lights in your cannibal lair to make it a bit more homely.

Tune in, follow, like and subscribe at your podcatcher of choice and be sure to follow the show on Twitter and Instagram as well! You can also support the show on Ko-fi! Also, be sure to subscribe to our Patreon for more exclusive podcasts.
