   THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW DOUBLE-BILL: How One of the Most Influential Horrors Spawned The Strangest of Sequels

   It finally happened! After many years of doing this podcast, we both sat down and watched Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre... much to Sam's shock and disgust. And after enduring the scorching Texan Sun and the rank stench of questionable gas station BBQ, we thought we had the stomach to also watch the very divisive 1986 sequel. Let's just say it was a wild ride through the Lone Star State. Prize winning chilli, anyone...? Rate and review us, it's always appreciated. And of course... stay safe out there tonight. follow us: @scaringsam

   THE SUBSTANCE: The Horror of Hollywood's Beauty Standards

   What's up, revellers and weirdos! For a film with an obsessive focus on butts, The Substance is a smart and scathing critique on Hollywood and how it treats its aging female stars. Oh, and let's not forgot the buckets of body horror and gore... Sam won't any time soon. Is this the most bonkers film ever nominated for an Oscar...? All we know is Demi deserved to win!
