#988: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre at 50, Lumet Marathon Awards, Memoir of a Snail

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE still has it. 50 years later, Tobe Hooper’s seminal horror film continues to mess us up. Plus, the best of the Sidney Lumet Marathon, and Josh recommends the new stop-motion feature MEMOIR OF A SNAIL.
This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
