## Resource

Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. We’ve done gritty horror. We’ve done neon-soaked insanity. Now we hit the early 90s and ask the dangerous question: what if Leatherface had a glow-up and everyone took themselves just a little too seriously? Episode 3 dives into Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III — the franchise’s attempt to drag the saw back into straight horror territory, complete with a new family, a new final girl, and a vibe that screams “studio interference.” Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan break down the darker tone, the studio cuts, the almost-mythic Excalibur chainsaw, and whether this sequel is misunderstood… or just lost in the desert. It’s grimmer. It’s meaner. It’s trying very hard. Rev the engine. Let’s see if this one still has gas in the tank.
