Episode 87 - Spiral: From the Book of Saw

Spiral: From the Book of Saw, or simply Spiral, is a 2021 American horror film that serves as the first spin-off in the Saw film series. It is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, his fourth film of the series, and written by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger. The film stars Chris Rock, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, and Samuel L. Jackson, and follows police efforts to stop a Jigsaw copycat killer. The original creators of the series, James Wan and Leigh Whannell, serve as executive producers alongside Rock. Talks of another Saw installment began after the release of Jigsaw in 2017, with Chris Rock wanting to branch out into the horror genre. While the film certainly has its aspirations and allusions, the #talkintv boys break down exactly why this film doesn't work despite its best intentions, along with frequent channel collaborator and fellow Talkin' Thrones host, Professor Pat Huber.
