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?

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.","meta_description":"Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw.
