Summary
Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. Episode 6 takes us to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) — because if there’s one thing Hollywood believes in, it’s explaining absolutely everything. Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan dig into the prequel nobody technically asked for, but we all watched anyway. This is where the remake timeline goes full grim-dark: more brutality, more backstory, more suffering per minute than seems medically advisable. We get the origin of Leatherface, the family’s recruitment strategy, and a tone so relentlessly bleak it practically dares you to feel hope. Is it a worthy expansion of the remake’s world? Or just misery with a production budget? Same road. Same family. Even worse odds. The saw’s still running. And apparently, so are we.
