Episode 117: Saw w/ Lauren Willson and Heather Murray

Lauren and Heather return to talk 2004's horror film "Saw" directed by James Wan in his feature directorial debut with the Spoop Bois. They tackle how "Saw" impacted horror and popularized "torture-porn," what aged well vs what didn't, Leigh Whannell's involvement with the franchise including writing the script, and audience reactions in a post-9/11 world. They also get into their own experiences, compare the movie to nu metal, delve into its effect on pop culture, and discuss many other aspects of the film and franchise. Lauren wants to play a game! Heather is sick of those who scoff at the suffering of others. Aaron and Derek may have to cut through their own feet.  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WatchIfYouDare We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, and CastBox.
