This week for Thanksgorging, we feature a film with what is inarguably Jake's favorite horror movie poster of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2! For those of you wonderying why we didn't review the first, the answer is twofold: 1) every podcast has done an episode on it; 2) we put it behind a damn paywall. #shamelessplugforourmiddlingpatreon
This film, like the original, was directed by Tobe Hooper. It was written by someone named L. M. Kit Carson, who kinda just fell into obscurity thereafter. Remember a day when a box office flop would end your carrer, but then people like Uwe Boll kept getting movies made? Yeesh. 
TCM2 brings back the old favorite and introduces Bill Moseley's iconic Chop Top to the Sawyer clan. Bill Johnson takes over for Leatherface after the makers could not come to terms with Gunnar Hanson on a return. 
We talk about the deleted scenes, one of which involves the Patron Saint of Slashers, Joe Bob Briggs. 
We also talk about the long-languishing All American Massacre, which was directed by Hooper's son, William, but has yet to see the light of day. 
Did you know that this soundtrack features the like of Oingo Boingo, The Cramps, and Stewart Copeland (of The Police and the guy who did the damn music for Spyro the Dragon).
