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?
