S1 Ep4: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [1974] with Aoife Barry

You’d think we had actually planned this in advance but we’re dropping this episode on the birthday (25th January) of the director of our guest’s pick! And speaking of said guest, Aoife Barry of TheJournal.ie fame and co-host of the Get Around To It podcast, peeled the covers away from her eyes long enough to stand up to Leatherface in the original outing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In this episode, David updates us on what movies and TV he’s been watching lately, Kate provides a dispatch from her journey across the Irish Sea, the extent of the Texas Chainsaw cinematic franchise is revealed, Kate admits she is a Leatherface apologist (NOT an Ed Gein apologist!), we pick apart all the horror tropes over the past 50 years, the return of our guest’s underseen gem pick, a very journalist-appropriate “What’s In The Box?” and plenty more!
