This week's horror pick: the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Our hosts, Mary Kay, Rachel, and Mary welcome on guest and voice actor Kelly Nugent. They answer important questions like: Why does Franklin even consort with these SOBs? How did they pull off the feel of ungendered violence with such incredibly phallic weapons? Will we ever eat barbecue again?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
