Welcome to the first episode of Bede & Steve Vs. Leatherface, where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Steven T. Boltz explore the films of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.After announcing it at the bonus wrap-up episode of their other podcast Bede & Steve Vs. Camp Crystal Lake, your hosts Bede and Steve had decided to take on another horror franchise after tackling the Friday The 13th series, which happens to be biggest of heavy hitters: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Your hosts are very excitied to dive into this franchise and the best place to start off with, is the original 1974 version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from co-writer/producer/director Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Salem's Lot '79). Since it's release in 1974, the film has been considered as one of the greatest nadm ost influential horror films ever made (even in some cases, was voted as the number 1 horror films of all time in some major polls). This year, the film celebrates its 50th anniversary. So, it's only fitting that Bede & Steve dive into this momentous film with its impact and legacy on cinema. Highlights in this episode include Bede & Steven discussing how they were introduced to the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Bede's one main issue with the title, the historical and social context of when the film was released, Tobe Hooper's inspirations for the film, wondering if Marilyn Burns gives the best "frightened" performance in all of cinema, does Franklin deserve his hate or is he mistunderstood?, the film's pop culture legacy and so much more.
