As a 100% born and raised Texan myself I can honestly say Richter is the most “Texas” guy I’ve seen in a long while in a movie. Honestly if Lila and Richter had been the main characters of the film I would’ve enjoyed TCM 2022 a LOT more. The idea of liberal, school shooting survivor girl and (possibly) more conservative southern guy have to work together to survive leatherface to me is far more interesting a concept than what we got.
I would love to watch that movie, it would be interesting and with proper care and direction would be really good. What we got instead was meh. It feels too shallow and doesn't have enough camp to make up for that.
Richter was great, I feel like they didn't deserve to kill him in the way he did, atleast he actually put up a fight and still tried to help despite knowing he's dead
That's what I thought was going to happen for a while. I thought he was going to teach her how to use the gun help them survive for a little while and he would die at the end and she would live. He was the only tolerable person in the movie surprisingly to me I was upset when he died and he was the only death that I felt anything.
Thank you for saying this you are absolutely right and that's something it seems like dead meat doesn't understand in this review about him is how differently texans think my first reaction would never be to run away

Hey! First, glad the podcast is back. Second, I am a subtitling editor that works on projects for various clients, including Netflix. One of their specific quirks is that character ID’s are meant to stay hidden until they are revealed in the dialogue or some other on screen text. So, if she never is referred to by name during any dialogue, this is why the subtitles keep referring to her as “Dante’s partner” (partner being generic enough if it’s never explicitly stated what their relationship is). Cheers!
i have yet to hear anyone comment about the old lady saying “if id known i had company i wouldve put my face on” when they intially get to her house. it made me laugh
Two things I liked About this movie: Melody is super overprotective of her sister because her sister survived a traumatic event, she speaks out against guns and speaks over Lilah, it feels like the movie is saying “you have so much to say about trauma and how your sister is coping, lets put YOU through something traumatic and see how you handle it.” And in many scenes, Melody is frozen in fear, while Lilah comes to the rescue quite a bit. It’s a subversion of victims of trauma and it’s also commentary on how allies can sometimes do more harm than good, even if they mean well. The cinematography is gorgeous, I think despite the scripts flaws, the film is never ugly to look at, everything is shot in the correct spot and the kills are never out of focus, I also really love the sunflower maze. Im glad we get that whole sequence with Ruth because I think thats the best part of the movie.
Interesting point on Melody and her relationship with her sister, I never really thought of it that way. The cinematography was definitely a highlight, there were some really good shots in the movie, like the whole sequence where Leatherface killed Dante. But then there were also some weird shots like in the sunflower maze where he just pops up from the ground randomly, like wtf was he doing down there?
@@mellomike1928 I just assumed the body that was posed for Sally to later find was what Leatherface had finished doing before popping up, but the film is so inconsistent with mistakes I wouldn’t give them THAT much credit.
Them searching the house to prove that they didn’t find the deed reminds me of those stories where people contact a company to say “hey I ordered something from you and it never arrived” and the company replies back “can you show us photo evidence of your order not arriving” so the person just sends a picture of their empty hand
The way this movie handled the deed had me completely baffled. If they had one on site in the house before foreclosure wouldn't that one just not be valid?
Apparently, the directors had a certain story and script set but then a producer or several demanded some rewrites to include some elements that fuck up the story and leave very noticeable plot holes and they refused to film from those are-writes so they were fired and replaced with who it is. Also, the writer of this Texas Chainsaw actually has some good scripts, one is being filmed called COBWEB where a child hears people in the walls, and another called VIDEO NASTY which is basically a slasher version of PLEASANTVILLE. They were both good scripts so I think this movie was just an unfortunate victim of interference and demanding notes
@@elizabethanntarter Google Black List Scripts and there should be a link to a Google drive, I'm pretty sure it's in 2020s folder and Video Nasty (title) should be there.
They need to leave the Texas chainsaw franshire alone , most of the TCM movies have been garbage with exception to the first one and the 2003 one. the second one got away with it being a campy parody . But this netflix one was so cringe . Nobody behaved like they have a brain cell between them . the 2013 one was a ridiculous joke aswell but made me laugh at how silly it was . And the 2017 one was pointless and weird and probably one of the worst in the franchise .
I enjoyed this movie as a standalone slasher. It's fun, has dumb characters and decent gore. I hate that it had to be a TCM and not have any more Sawyers or any references to leatherface being a cannibal at the very least. I gotta say I hated the line "try anything and you're cancelled bro". But I guess 80s slashers were iconic for having horny and stupid teenagers, I guess this generation's trope is dumb influencers.
That really was an absolute "Turn off your brain bro" moment. Cuz lord that was the most unbelievable phrase to come out of anyone's mouth that whole movie to the point I had to question "Was I watching some dumb rom-com or isekai anime that says dumb crap like this all the time?" Considering the situation they were in lol....for a character to even say that is like.....goddamn that was really the mainly infuriating moment of the movie XD. That and when the bitch clearly didn't warn the others WHY to not go outside and just said "Don't go out there" SMH. At least they died XD.
40:10 Did anyone else catch that Ginny turned off her own oxygen, to induce a heart attack, so that her death would cause Leatherface to rampage in revenge…?
My sister just got married, it’s so lovely seeing two people so elated and in love! Hope my sister and brother in law and you guys are as happy as you seem! Love you guys!
I’m so excited that you guys are talking about this!! The new Texas Chainsaw disappointed me greatly. Leatherface is one of my favorite horror villains of all time and this rendition in my opinion, ruined him. He was such an innocent boy who was manipulated and had his autism used against him by his family. Now, you’re telling me he can withstand being chainsawed? No, nope. I also couldn’t believe how they just brutally murdered Sally and threw her away. She was one of the original Final Girls and they gave her less than 5 minutes of screen time.
If Sally wasn’t in the movie, nothing would change, and would’ve been a more enjoyable Dogshit movie, they didn’t just threw her like nothing, she was barely even likable here
What I find baffling, is when the older sister has the chainsaw and instead of cutting him up or stabbing him, she just boops him on the chin. Like a little *boop*
It's barely a tap she gives him, she had the perfect opportunity to finish leather face off or atleast remove the chainsaw as far away from him as possible but she does non of that. Nobody in this movie tries to kill leatherface , instead they just waste bullets or hit windows and scream .
@@gemstar7286 the worst one was Sally not shooting Leatherface in the face where she’s clearly pointing at his face, point blank but doesn’t pull the trigger
I can pinpoint the exact scene where I knew this movie was going to be a lot smarter than I expected. And it was when we first met Richter at the gas station and he was blasting metal instead of country.
My take on this movie is that is a film made for no one. It doesn't appeal to millenials nor GenZs because that movie doesn't speak to them (us). Sure it has the slang, but those are just buzzwords thrown away by Netflix's executives. Which takes me to the next point: it doesn't appeal to anybody else because everybody is tired of said words being repeated over and over.
"Sure it has the slang, but those are just buzzwords thrown away by Netflix's executives" Netflix had nothing to do with the making of this movie; they only bought the distribution rights. The blame for all that falls squarely with Bad Hombre (Fédé and Rodo, the writers)
I do want to point out William Moody or Paul Bearer was 5'10" two inches away from 6'. It's not that he's short it's that he's usually seen standing next to someone who's just barely under 7' tall.
Shotguns have an effective range of 100 meters, actually! So Sally shooting at him from far away isn't a problem. Shooting at him with nothing in her lower body left, on the other hand, is more of a problem.
Effective range varies with payload. Buckshot 35m Birdshot 45m Slugs 100m Sabot Slugs with Rifled Barrel 150m Probably buck or bird, either way he's well within the kill range.
I love the fact that when James mentioned how a lot of people loved the remake from 2003, Chelsea just came right out and said "I hate it"!😂 Best response ever!👌
Hi folks, big fan of the podcast. I’m not on Twitter, so I had never heard about the meme, however I did watch a Vice documentary about feral hogs in Texas and they actually have the largest population of feral hogs in the country. It’s a major problem for farmers there, and there is a huge industry for sport hunting them. Being Canadian, the whole thing is super weird for me. Love you guys, so happy the podcast is back :)
it's super weird for most rational people. a gun owner is the most likely culprit of any crime committed against any individual that lives in America, as guns lend themselves to criminality and the gun culture that does exist does not actually promote heroism
When Mel finds the Deed I remember shouting “you are so deadmeat.” 😂 but yeah she does find it in the woman’s bedroom. So they deff had no right to their home.
Ya, how did James and Chelsea miss that part after watching it twice? When she found the paper I did pause the movie to read and confirm it was the deed.
Was it just me or was Leatherface REALLY lacking personality in this one? He was more like a Jason or Michael. Where was our Big Sweet Boy!?!? Oh wow lol I posted this before I got to where James says the same thing.
This movie was so bland and dumb. Leatherface had no personality, and the characters were brain dead. Like the mechanic who told them to get out of town then left with the keys or the bus driver who stopped the bus for no reason and wandered off without a word. Or the party goers who thought they could intimidate Leatherface.
@@dr.bright6272 the movie at the end of new leather face movie when he cut off that women head off and she scream made the movie more worst because they shouldn’t have cut his head off
@@miketrapper0464 the original Leatherface was a giant of a man with the mindset of a child. He killed because he was scared. This guy is just angry and lacks the charm that the original Leatherface had.
I was drunk when I watched this and apparently I was scream laughing through most of it. Also James is right about the "you can't prove a negative" Melody does find the deed in a box that's on the old woman's vanity though which is why she cries because she realizes they basically gave that woman a heart attack for nothing.
I loved the Kills in this movie and it was surprisingly well shot but other than that I really hated watching it. The dialogue and social commentary was embarrassing and could have been written by a middle schooler, the characters were bland and forgettable, "Try anything and your canceled bro." is right up there with "Do your thing, cuz" for the worst horror movie lines I have ever heard, and the ending had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe because SPOILER ALERT.... The fact that she couldn't save her sister from Leatherface because the Tesla autopilot was driving her away is so goddamn funny. Also Sally was lame. I know that kinda sounds like an afterthought, but so was her character in this movie.
@@coolnerdlll6053 The new Scream was fun but it kinda pissed me off a bit because imo I feel like all it did was call out tropes without subverting any of them so it never felt surprising or unexpected. For me it's on the same level as Scre4m but that movie had Kirby and this one didn't so that one gets the edge over it.
@@colinmitchell1276 Well, the new one had better kills IMO and Roger Jackson at the top of his game. Both of those were good in Scre4m (which I like to call it because that's a stupid title) but not as good.
The worst part is I can't even enjoy the kills, because while they're extremely well done, the film keeps cutting back to the school shooting during the bus scene and it just... we're meant to be comparing these kills to school shooting victims? you're gonna put really cool murder effects in front of me and then try and make me associate them with fucking Columbine? errrggghghhh.
fun fact! olwen fouéré, even though she’s from ireland, is actually breton, which is an ethnic group native to brittany, which is why her name sounds more welsh/french than irish!! (i myself only just found this out because im irish and was like…that’s definitely not a name ive ever heard before)
I never laughed soo hard at a horror movie like this one it’s truly a fun-stupid movie to watch with a group of friends, that being said leatherface needs a vacation, poor guy just needs to be left alone 🤣
Chelsea, I'm not even halfway through, and I have to validate you that "gubbins" is the perfect word to use and one that's part of my regular vocabulary. Never apologize for gubbins 💜
In regards to the deed scene. The sister is basically saying to Dante "This is really fucked up, but find the deed so that we can get away with what you did". Everything they did was fucked if they didn't get it at that point She's basically insinuating that they might as well do it.
How I viewed that whole deed scene was if they searched the house and were lucky enough to find the deed then they can play off that it was their's and hopefully convince Richter enough to give them the keys back. That's how I viewed it, I may be completely wrong, and even then it wouldn't make sense because when they eventually do find the deed it's old as hell and obviously not a brand new document they recently got from the bank. Idk lmao
Nah, I honestly think she wants to know the truth. She wants to NOT find the deed so she can feel less guilty knowing that while they did the wrong thing, it wasn’t WRONG. It shows when she finds the deed and just breaks down. She knows they did a terrible thing, and they didn’t even have any right to do it. She even owns up to her part in Mrs Mc’s death when Leatherface catches up to her when she crashes the car. She accepts her death, she thinks she deserves it for what she did
I agree that they were worried that they fucked up and tried to kick her out wrongly. That is pretty obvious. Squatters have rights, unless she was served an eviction notice by the police prior to them showing up. Now as far as the deed itself is concerned, the bank can seize property without taking a piece of paper from you. If you don't voluntarily surrender a deed they will just print a new one and give it to the new owner and the old one is void and just a piece of paper at that point. As James said, you can't prove a negative if you don't find something, but even finding it proves nothing because it could still be a duplicate and void deed. (Same thing for car titles) What makes this even more convoluted is that there is a woman FROM THE BANK there with them that probably could call the bank or maybe even has a map of their properties, MEET WITH THEM when they get there. So no, none of this adds up to anything clear... The script is awful at that point. (Still enjoyed the film lmao)
@@withencroftindustries3626 Not to mention, at least in Ohio where I live, all of that info is online and easily searchable. Both through records searches and through property tax searches. (I used to work at a title agency.) Maybe those kids are idiots or maybe it’s not available in Texas, but the bank lady would have know that.
I’m super thankful for your guy’s podcast I’ve been in a really rough patch and I just go back and watch/listen to this podcast to make my mind a bit calmer
Yeah I do think one of the unsettling things about the original tcm is the way that even if you get away from the house, you can't trust anyone to help you because the family is everywhere
As someone who was in a school attack, the plot point was weird and shallow but not insulting. They could have given it more nuance. It was nice to see them even mention that reality tho.
absolutely hilarious episode. im so glad the podcast is back, it’s always so enjoyable. all hail your editor for their impeccable comedic timing. pleasantly surprised the topic of phil spector being cancelled by Life
You see the name Ruth when Dante looks at his phone *Melody finds the deed in the old woman's jewelry box in her room right as Leatherface arrives home.
I love hearing the," we're married and we love getting scared together." It just melts my heart, you've come so far James, you guys have got me through some tough times, all I have is thanfulness, wishing you well from Al!
Hootie and the Blowfish can honestly all go in the trash 😆Pick another analogy. Hootie and the Blowfish is like picking a shit sandwich or a shit sandwich with pickles 🤣🤣
I watched this movie a couple weeks ago during a blackout here in England after a storm… surrounded by candles in a completely dark village, it was fun! Definitely added to the atmosphere of this not so great movie haha
Haha, it automatically downloaded earlier in the day so it was the only thing I had to watch! Which was fine with me, thank god for smart downloads haha
You know, upon second viewing of the movie - my wife and I were talking with friends about how ridiculous it was that the chainsaw would still work after 40 years. But on that second rewatch, we noticed the saw doesn't start up immediately and they cut away for a while before coming back to Melody under the bed. When we do, you hear socket wrenches and work being done... so we think he took the time to get the saw back up and running/filled her up. That assumes it was stored without fuel in it but that caveat notwithstanding, there is enough room to allow that Leatherface cleaned up and refueled the saw before throwing a hammer at Melody...
What’s funny is that Melody kinda looked like my best friend. When I was talking to her about the movie, she said “Do I die?” I just laughed and said “In the lamest way possible.”
Here's how you fix the movie, at least a little bit: Scrap everything involving Sally, except maybe the part at the beginning where she asks who Sally is at the gas station. Replace it with a cold open/flashbacks to the school shooting from Lila's pov, with her hiding under a desk or something. She has some sort of weapon, maybe a necklace/pendant knife or whatever, but she has a chance to stop the shooter, but panics and ends up getting shot instead. Have her redeem herself by instead of grabbing a gun, have her relive hiding under a table from leatherface, and when she has the chance to do something, instead of panicking and getting caught, have her successfully hurt/kill him and get away
Couldn’t agree more with james’ first point, that it’s stupid fun. Like in terms of writing and acting it’s pretty bad like on a technical level, but the way they make the characters so unlikeable and have such fun kills made it very enjoyable as a classic slasher where you’re rooting for the killer
I can definitely see that, I had fun in the first 2 acts, there still was bad stuff some characters weren’t my favorite but I liked Melody and Richter, when Sally was in the movie, that’s where I didn’t have fun I hated the movie so much when she was there
Yeah the sister finds the deed to the house in the old lady's room in her jewelry box or something. It means that she had every right to stay there and they (mainly Dante) were so aggressive to her that it gave her a heart attack
It's like they both said people exaggerate, Halloween Kills is definitely not the worst movie I have ever seen especially among the slasher genre where there is a lot shit and even among its own franchise i.e halloween 5-6 and resurrections
@@MultiBum123 I dunno, the repeated "Evil Dies Tonight" chant was laughable, the hospital horde chasing Danny Devito thru the hospital thinking somehow he's Michael Myers even tho they all just saw Michael's face on the news, and the sheer amount of folks who just basically just jumped onto Michael's machete for no apparent reason had my 12 year old daughter laughing out loud in the theater. I swear Michael could claim self defense for about 80% of his kills in the movie. It was bad. Especially in light of how good Halloween 2018 was.
"You don't get CANCELLED... FOR MURDER!" -James A. Janice 2022 For real, if there is a part two for the dead meat podcast out of context, this episode has so many amazing moments.
This is why I love this channel. I will admit I was one of the people who rolled my eyes about being "woke" . After seeing this I see things differently with the movie. Things make more sense to me with more context when someone explains things differently
As someone who has worked in the mortgage servicing for years the deed makes no sense in this movie. In order to evict someone from their home even after the bank retains all possession of the house or sells it to a third party takes a court order with plenty of notice for the person to vacate. Not to mention even if the house had been fully retained by the bank or sold to a third party due to foreclosure the old lady and Leather Face would be entitled to squatters rights as at that point the property was completely abandoned. Also in Texas if you live in an abandoned property for over 5 years you have the right to file a notice with the secretary of state that you have been the one maintaining the abandoned property and can take ownership of the property regardless of who truly owns the property.
And so how is sally the proper age, but leather face looks like he’s 40 and hasn’t aged at all? Like if it was accurate he’d be too fucking old to kill anything 🤣🤣🤣
I can trace what genuinely scares me about the Texas Chainsaw franchise all the way back to 5th or 6th grade when I first saw a live woman wriggling and screaming on a meat hook over a bucket while her dead boyfriend is dismembered with a chainsaw. Since then, I can't watch a Chainsaw movie without the fear of what "could" happen having me on the edge of my seat. No matter how bad the dialogue, or dumb the character, nobody ever deserves what the characters in these movies go through. And I'll keep coming back to see what they come up with.
The people moving to the small town were buying property to escape the big city life and violence that sometimes accompanies it. She did find the deed to the house in the woman's room. The chainsaw didn't run when he tried to start it. He took it to his room and you hear him working on it. Also surprised that nobody is talking about the post credit scene.
For me, the sally thing, could be change if you grab and say that this is sally´s daughter and she wants revenge for how fucked up her mother was or just take everything out but I truly feel that this was a studio thing.. "omg Halloween 2018 was so succesful, lets put in the new TCM" but no... Please no...
New fan of the podcast and I have to say I just LOVE how you guys review movies and how you don’t go with popular opinions. Glad I can finally match the video with the podcast audio.
The sisters: Got the car Me: they can go drive away and escape now Also Me: Oh right this is a horror movie The sisters: Tries to hit leatherface with the car
One thing I find somewhat interesting is that Richter is the german word for judge. And part of the plot somewhat depends on him judging others. No idea if that was intentional.
38:30 it's ok, I butcher english a lot too, but if you really want to know James, Álvarez has an accent in the first syllable, so the accent is there in the first A, like the accent in the name Abraham.
Okay okay okay so I think this may be me overthinking the Sally/Leatherface upstairs scene. Sally I think in her mind she thinks that everything she went through should have been just as important to him as it was to her, and her having this image of this maniacal man in her head for so long kind of shatters when she is confronted by this silent sorrow filled man-child that she thinks doesn't remember her or what he did to her just breaks her for a moment. But I think he did recognize her and having recently had someone he cared about essentially killed decides to just let her go, kind of like a sympathy gesture for what he did because he now knows that loss and goes after the girls because he's pounced on people for pointing less than a shotgun at him. It was just very nuanced But of course when Sally shoots him he goes into scared animal mode and eviscerates her.. that ..she ..somehow lived through for like 15 minutes after? Like I said may be me way over thinking that scene but I do that a lot with a lot of movies and books, but that's how I saw it.
Btw that feral hogs thing is a very well known thing in the south so i don't think they were referencing a tweet i feel whoever wrote the script just knew that its an actual issue in the south especially texas

Two things I liked About this movie:
Melody is super overprotective of her sister because her sister survived a traumatic event, she speaks out against guns and speaks over Lilah, it feels like the movie is saying “you have so much to say about trauma and how your sister is coping, lets put YOU through something traumatic and see how you handle it.” And in many scenes, Melody is frozen in fear, while Lilah comes to the rescue quite a bit. It’s a subversion of victims of trauma and it’s also commentary on how allies can sometimes do more harm than good, even if they mean well.

Also, the writer of this Texas Chainsaw actually has some good scripts, one is being filmed called COBWEB where a child hears people in the walls, and another called VIDEO NASTY which is basically a slasher version of PLEASANTVILLE. They were both good scripts so I think this movie was just an unfortunate victim of interference and demanding notes
Slasher Pleasantville?!?! What?!!! I must see this
@@elizabethanntarter
Google Black List Scripts and there should be a link to a Google drive, I'm pretty sure it's in 2020s folder and Video Nasty (title) should be there.
@@introgeek5278 thank you!!
Slasher Pleasantville! I'm there.
They need to leave the Texas chainsaw franshire alone , most of the TCM movies have been garbage with exception to the first one and the 2003 one. the second one got away with it being a campy parody . But this netflix one was so cringe . Nobody behaved like they have a brain cell between them . the 2013 one was a ridiculous joke aswell but made me laugh at how silly it was . And the 2017 one was pointless and weird and probably one of the worst in the franchise .
Part 2 is my favorite in the series. It’s amazing just for Chop Top alone ✌🏻
My guy Chop Top is legit one of my favorite characters in movies
1-4 and the original 2 remakes are the only ones worth a damn
I hate that movie. Part 2 sucks so hard
2 is my favorite as well.
Stretch is great too
I've said this before, but once Scream makes fun of something, it should really die. The "sequel named after franchise" thing is really getting old.
It probably will die once they get all franchises
I guess they felt that removing the “The” it would be a different title?
@@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168 Ah, the reverse Suicide Squad approach.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Yes. I guess this has more of an excuse because I’d be hard pressed to think of a title for this movie
@@coolnerdlll6053 or The Batman
I enjoyed this movie as a standalone slasher. It's fun, has dumb characters and decent gore. I hate that it had to be a TCM and not have any more Sawyers or any references to leatherface being a cannibal at the very least.
I gotta say I hated the line "try anything and you're cancelled bro". But I guess 80s slashers were iconic for having horny and stupid teenagers, I guess this generation's trope is dumb influencers.
on a party bus yes absolutely lol
That really was an absolute "Turn off your brain bro" moment. Cuz lord that was the most unbelievable phrase to come out of anyone's mouth that whole movie to the point I had to question "Was I watching some dumb rom-com or isekai anime that says dumb crap like this all the time?" Considering the situation they were in lol....for a character to even say that is like.....goddamn that was really the mainly infuriating moment of the movie XD. That and when the bitch clearly didn't warn the others WHY to not go outside and just said "Don't go out there" SMH. At least they died XD.
You know, I'm fine if they don't make any more Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies after seeing this movie. Please put the series to rest now.
I guess you could say that the meat of this series has turned rotten. There's only one thing left to do with rotten meat. Throw it out.
I agree but Hollywood being Hollywood they will keep making remakes for years and years
Correct or next Leatherface is french
Yeah it’s like the terminator franchise
I have half a mind to write to Netflix executives, telling them, “make another Texas Chainsaw movie and you’re cancelled bro”

I’m so excited that you guys are talking about this!! The new Texas Chainsaw disappointed me greatly. Leatherface is one of my favorite horror villains of all time and this rendition in my opinion, ruined him. He was such an innocent boy who was manipulated and had his autism used against him by his family. Now, you’re telling me he can withstand being chainsawed? No, nope. I also couldn’t believe how they just brutally murdered Sally and threw her away. She was one of the original Final Girls and they gave her less than 5 minutes of screen time.
Yeah I agree
If Sally wasn’t in the movie, nothing would change, and would’ve been a more enjoyable Dogshit movie, they didn’t just threw her like nothing, she was barely even likable here
Wait, Leatherface has autism?
@@LauraBwayMorris yes! I think it was made canon in one of the movies if not the first? I’m not entirely sure which one though
Say it louder for the people in the back!! 💯
Love how this video has a longer runtime then the actually movie
What I find baffling, is when the older sister has the chainsaw and instead of cutting him up or stabbing him, she just boops him on the chin. Like a little *boop*
That's what I said. I yelled at the tv that's not how you use a chainsaw
@@brico9785 I KNOW RIGHT?!
It's barely a tap she gives him, she had the perfect opportunity to finish leather face off or atleast remove the chainsaw as far away from him as possible but she does non of that. Nobody in this movie tries to kill leatherface , instead they just waste bullets or hit windows and scream .
@@gemstar7286 the worst one was Sally not shooting Leatherface in the face where she’s clearly pointing at his face, point blank but doesn’t pull the trigger
@@miketrapper0464 Yeah I hated that , Sally's character was pointless and an insult to the original Sally's memory back in the original.
Chelsea's protectiveness over Leatherface in the way most of us care about Baby Yoda is always adorable to see.
I can pinpoint the exact scene where I knew this movie was going to be a lot smarter than I expected. And it was when we first met Richter at the gas station and he was blasting metal instead of country.
The Dante singing sound effect throughout this video is perfect
My take on this movie is that is a film made for no one. It doesn't appeal to millenials nor GenZs because that movie doesn't speak to them (us). Sure it has the slang, but those are just buzzwords thrown away by Netflix's executives. Which takes me to the next point: it doesn't appeal to anybody else because everybody is tired of said words being repeated over and over.
I have come to tell you that Texas chainsaw massacre is sawed off dogshit
"Sure it has the slang, but those are just buzzwords thrown away by Netflix's executives"
Netflix had nothing to do with the making of this movie; they only bought the distribution rights. The blame for all that falls squarely with Bad Hombre (Fédé and Rodo, the writers)
I loved this movie! It’s a Texas chainsaw sequel, if you’re taking it too serious you’re doing it wrong
@@MikeJones-og6we *worried looks from across the room*
When it was revealed that Sally was still alive I literally screamed out loud “HOW TF ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!!!!!”
They ruined Sally's character , she could have done the original Sally from the 70's justice but instead this was embarrassing to the memory .
Sally is the worst part of this movie
Dying at the fact that they abbreviated Texas Chainsaw Massacre as “TCM” because at my work “TCM” means The Children’s Museum
Its also Turner Classic Movies for me.
TTCMCM.
@@HKtraidon For me as well
@@HKtraidon same here lol
Oh no, TCM presenting a TCM exhibit sounds morbidly hilarious.
I miss Grandpa because he's the best at killing
I do want to point out William Moody or Paul Bearer was 5'10" two inches away from 6'. It's not that he's short it's that he's usually seen standing next to someone who's just barely under 7' tall.
Plus he was really big, which made him seem shorter than he really was
they were my favorite back in the day! grew up watching wrestling with my dad lol
Shotguns have an effective range of 100 meters, actually! So Sally shooting at him from far away isn't a problem. Shooting at him with nothing in her lower body left, on the other hand, is more of a problem.
Depends slug or scatter
@@etangbose4755 oh that's true yeh. Tho I think even scatter has a range of 50 meters or so? Which's quite a bit
Effective range varies with payload.
Buckshot 35m
Birdshot 45m
Slugs 100m
Sabot Slugs with Rifled Barrel 150m
Probably buck or bird, either way he's well within the kill range.
40:09 was just... Perfection 🤣🤣🤣
Y'all editor was right on time with the "ooooh"
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 > All other 'Chainsaw' Sequels/Remakes/Prequels/Requels.
I can't think about TCM without "look what your brother did to the door!'
I can’t wait to watch the kill count for Scream (2022). I was surprised to see that cameo
I love the fact that when James mentioned how a lot of people loved the remake from 2003, Chelsea just came right out and said "I hate it"!😂 Best response ever!👌
thought the same haha
Hi folks, big fan of the podcast. I’m not on Twitter, so I had never heard about the meme, however I did watch a Vice documentary about feral hogs in Texas and they actually have the largest population of feral hogs in the country. It’s a major problem for farmers there, and there is a huge industry for sport hunting them. Being Canadian, the whole thing is super weird for me. Love you guys, so happy the podcast is back :)
it's super weird for most rational people. a gun owner is the most likely culprit of any crime committed against any individual that lives in America, as guns lend themselves to criminality and the gun culture that does exist does not actually promote heroism
Ah yes "Hitler drank water", of course.
The mental image of Leatherface swinging his chainsaw wildly towards the front door of an orphanage will now be my forever canon. Thank you James
When Mel finds the Deed I remember shouting “you are so deadmeat.” 😂 but yeah she does find it in the woman’s bedroom. So they deff had no right to their home.
Ya, how did James and Chelsea miss that part after watching it twice?
When she found the paper I did pause the movie to read and confirm it was the deed.
Was it just me or was Leatherface REALLY lacking personality in this one? He was more like a Jason or Michael. Where was our Big Sweet Boy!?!?
Oh wow lol I posted this before I got to where James says the same thing.
This movie was so bland and dumb. Leatherface had no personality, and the characters were brain dead. Like the mechanic who told them to get out of town then left with the keys or the bus driver who stopped the bus for no reason and wandered off without a word. Or the party goers who thought they could intimidate Leatherface.
@@dr.bright6272 the movie at the end of new leather face movie when he cut off that women head off and she scream made the movie more worst because they shouldn’t have cut his head off
He had some of it, but he is supposed to be with personality unlike Michael, so it doesn’t work for me like that
@@miketrapper0464 the original Leatherface was a giant of a man with the mindset of a child. He killed because he was scared. This guy is just angry and lacks the charm that the original Leatherface had.
They turned him into Jason Voorhees... for some reason.
I was drunk when I watched this and apparently I was scream laughing through most of it.
Also James is right about the "you can't prove a negative" Melody does find the deed in a box that's on the old woman's vanity though which is why she cries because she realizes they basically gave that woman a heart attack for nothing.
I loved the Kills in this movie and it was surprisingly well shot but other than that I really hated watching it. The dialogue and social commentary was embarrassing and could have been written by a middle schooler, the characters were bland and forgettable, "Try anything and your canceled bro." is right up there with "Do your thing, cuz" for the worst horror movie lines I have ever heard, and the ending had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe because SPOILER ALERT....
The fact that she couldn't save her sister from Leatherface because the Tesla autopilot was driving her away is so goddamn funny. Also Sally was lame. I know that kinda sounds like an afterthought, but so was her character in this movie.
"The kills were great and it was well shot" is also how I would describe the new Scream, but the new Scream had a lot of other things going for it.
@@coolnerdlll6053 The new Scream was fun but it kinda pissed me off a bit because imo I feel like all it did was call out tropes without subverting any of them so it never felt surprising or unexpected. For me it's on the same level as Scre4m but that movie had Kirby and this one didn't so that one gets the edge over it.
What about the bus driver who stopped the bus and wandered off for literally no reason?
@@colinmitchell1276 Well, the new one had better kills IMO and Roger Jackson at the top of his game. Both of those were good in Scre4m (which I like to call it because that's a stupid title) but not as good.
The worst part is I can't even enjoy the kills, because while they're extremely well done, the film keeps cutting back to the school shooting during the bus scene and it just... we're meant to be comparing these kills to school shooting victims? you're gonna put really cool murder effects in front of me and then try and make me associate them with fucking Columbine? errrggghghhh.
4:12 this is the first time I hear someone saying Jessica biel’s last name in English and I want to cry i never thought it was pronounced that way 😂
fun fact! olwen fouéré, even though she’s from ireland, is actually breton, which is an ethnic group native to brittany, which is why her name sounds more welsh/french than irish!! (i myself only just found this out because im irish and was like…that’s definitely not a name ive ever heard before)
I never laughed soo hard at a horror movie like this one it’s truly a fun-stupid movie to watch with a group of friends, that being said leatherface needs a vacation, poor guy just needs to be left alone 🤣
The 2nd texas chainsaw is probably the most stupid one, and it's kinda funny
I think this was a good leather face I felt bad for him but this movie was alright😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂fun movie but not a masterpiece
The only thing it had to offer was gore and good leatherface acting
Nah, it sucks
Halloween Kills was also an unintentional comedy IMO
listening to this whilst playing Bloodborne, james and chelsea's voices really helps so you don't mess up.

I just finished that game for the first time last week. Masterpiece
Chelsea, I'm not even halfway through, and I have to validate you that "gubbins" is the perfect word to use and one that's part of my regular vocabulary. Never apologize for gubbins 💜
Enjoyed this episode so much😂 Please re-use the “OhhHOh” in future episodes ☺️
In regards to the deed scene. The sister is basically saying to Dante "This is really fucked up, but find the deed so that we can get away with what you did". Everything they did was fucked if they didn't get it at that point She's basically insinuating that they might as well do it.
Dante was definitely unlikeable for me when he didn’t care for the old lady, but he wasn’t the worst character
How I viewed that whole deed scene was if they searched the house and were lucky enough to find the deed then they can play off that it was their's and hopefully convince Richter enough to give them the keys back. That's how I viewed it, I may be completely wrong, and even then it wouldn't make sense because when they eventually do find the deed it's old as hell and obviously not a brand new document they recently got from the bank. Idk lmao
Nah, I honestly think she wants to know the truth. She wants to NOT find the deed so she can feel less guilty knowing that while they did the wrong thing, it wasn’t WRONG. It shows when she finds the deed and just breaks down. She knows they did a terrible thing, and they didn’t even have any right to do it. She even owns up to her part in Mrs Mc’s death when Leatherface catches up to her when she crashes the car. She accepts her death, she thinks she deserves it for what she did
I agree that they were worried that they fucked up and tried to kick her out wrongly. That is pretty obvious. Squatters have rights, unless she was served an eviction notice by the police prior to them showing up. Now as far as the deed itself is concerned, the bank can seize property without taking a piece of paper from you. If you don't voluntarily surrender a deed they will just print a new one and give it to the new owner and the old one is void and just a piece of paper at that point. As James said, you can't prove a negative if you don't find something, but even finding it proves nothing because it could still be a duplicate and void deed. (Same thing for car titles) What makes this even more convoluted is that there is a woman FROM THE BANK there with them that probably could call the bank or maybe even has a map of their properties, MEET WITH THEM when they get there. So no, none of this adds up to anything clear... The script is awful at that point. (Still enjoyed the film lmao)
@@withencroftindustries3626 Not to mention, at least in Ohio where I live, all of that info is online and easily searchable. Both through records searches and through property tax searches. (I used to work at a title agency.) Maybe those kids are idiots or maybe it’s not available in Texas, but the bank lady would have know that.
I’m super thankful for your guy’s podcast I’ve been in a really rough patch and I just go back and watch/listen to this podcast to make my mind a bit calmer
All the best bro for life. Things will get better💪🏽😎
Yeah I do think one of the unsettling things about the original tcm is the way that even if you get away from the house, you can't trust anyone to help you because the family is everywhere

“We’re married and we like to get scared together” so good to hear that

You see the name Ruth when Dante looks at his phone *Melody finds the deed in the old woman's jewelry box in her room right as Leatherface arrives home.

Leatherface is like Darius Rucker. Great on his own, but best when he's with his hootie and the blowfish
I don't know if you worded it that way on purpose but the only way I want to interpret this is Leatherface in Hootie and the Blowfish.
Isn't Darius technically "Hootie" ? So wouldn't the saying be "best when he's with his blowfish" ?
Hootie and the Blowfish can honestly all go in the trash 😆Pick another analogy. Hootie and the Blowfish is like picking a shit sandwich or a shit sandwich with pickles 🤣🤣

It’s a plan 👍
I'll bring the snacks
You know, upon second viewing of the movie - my wife and I were talking with friends about how ridiculous it was that the chainsaw would still work after 40 years. But on that second rewatch, we noticed the saw doesn't start up immediately and they cut away for a while before coming back to Melody under the bed. When we do, you hear socket wrenches and work being done... so we think he took the time to get the saw back up and running/filled her up. That assumes it was stored without fuel in it but that caveat notwithstanding, there is enough room to allow that Leatherface cleaned up and refueled the saw before throwing a hammer at Melody...
What’s funny is that Melody kinda looked like my best friend. When I was talking to her about the movie, she said “Do I die?” I just laughed and said “In the lamest way possible.”
Really? Because the decapitation by chainsaw was really cool
Melody looks like the kind of people i walked in high school so seeing her die actually made me feel bad
@@miketrapper0464
Actual kill was cool. The ending was awful
@@joeiorio9654 oh definitely I wished she didn’t die I liked her, while i didn’t really like the school shooting character
52:17 “Melody goes through so much shit in this movie” … literally.
Here's how you fix the movie, at least a little bit:
Scrap everything involving Sally, except maybe the part at the beginning where she asks who Sally is at the gas station.
Replace it with a cold open/flashbacks to the school shooting from Lila's pov, with her hiding under a desk or something. She has some sort of weapon, maybe a necklace/pendant knife or whatever, but she has a chance to stop the shooter, but panics and ends up getting shot instead.
Have her redeem herself by instead of grabbing a gun, have her relive hiding under a table from leatherface, and when she has the chance to do something, instead of panicking and getting caught, have her successfully hurt/kill him and get away
Couldn’t agree more with james’ first point, that it’s stupid fun.
Like in terms of writing and acting it’s pretty bad like on a technical level, but the way they make the characters so unlikeable and have such fun kills made it very enjoyable as a classic slasher where you’re rooting for the killer
I can definitely see that, I had fun in the first 2 acts, there still was bad stuff some characters weren’t my favorite but I liked Melody and Richter, when Sally was in the movie, that’s where I didn’t have fun I hated the movie so much when she was there
Except that classic slashers never make you root for the villain. Only the awful sequels or remakes that came later.
Yeah the sister finds the deed to the house in the old lady's room in her jewelry box or something. It means that she had every right to stay there and they (mainly Dante) were so aggressive to her that it gave her a heart attack
Never in my lifetime have I imagined saying the phrase "Halloween Kills is a better movie" yet here we are
It's like they both said people exaggerate, Halloween Kills is definitely not the worst movie I have ever seen especially among the slasher genre where there is a lot shit and even among its own franchise i.e halloween 5-6 and resurrections
@@MultiBum123 I dunno, the repeated "Evil Dies Tonight" chant was laughable, the hospital horde chasing Danny Devito thru the hospital thinking somehow he's Michael Myers even tho they all just saw Michael's face on the news, and the sheer amount of folks who just basically just jumped onto Michael's machete for no apparent reason had my 12 year old daughter laughing out loud in the theater. I swear Michael could claim self defense for about 80% of his kills in the movie. It was bad. Especially in light of how good Halloween 2018 was.
I love how much you two are smiling!!! Congrats you guys ❤️❤️❤️
"You don't get CANCELLED... FOR MURDER!" -James A. Janice 2022
For real, if there is a part two for the dead meat podcast out of context, this episode has so many amazing moments.
I think that has happened in the real world tho
This is why I love this channel. I will admit I was one of the people who rolled my eyes about being "woke" . After seeing this I see things differently with the movie. Things make more sense to me with more context when someone explains things differently
As someone who has worked in the mortgage servicing for years the deed makes no sense in this movie. In order to evict someone from their home even after the bank retains all possession of the house or sells it to a third party takes a court order with plenty of notice for the person to vacate. Not to mention even if the house had been fully retained by the bank or sold to a third party due to foreclosure the old lady and Leather Face would be entitled to squatters rights as at that point the property was completely abandoned. Also in Texas if you live in an abandoned property for over 5 years you have the right to file a notice with the secretary of state that you have been the one maintaining the abandoned property and can take ownership of the property regardless of who truly owns the property.
And so how is sally the proper age, but leather face looks like he’s 40 and hasn’t aged at all? Like if it was accurate he’d be too fucking old to kill anything 🤣🤣🤣
Don't you know that the consumption of human flesh grants unnaturally long life and vitality to the consumer?
This!!!
In the field scene he had gray hair and a beard. Then they mysteriously vanish
@@dr.bright6272 because he put someone else's face on...
I can trace what genuinely scares me about the Texas Chainsaw franchise all the way back to 5th or 6th grade when I first saw a live woman wriggling and screaming on a meat hook over a bucket while her dead boyfriend is dismembered with a chainsaw. Since then, I can't watch a Chainsaw movie without the fear of what "could" happen having me on the edge of my seat. No matter how bad the dialogue, or dumb the character, nobody ever deserves what the characters in these movies go through. And I'll keep coming back to see what they come up with.
The original 1974 Texas Chainsaw massacre will always be the best one.
The people moving to the small town were buying property to escape the big city life and violence that sometimes accompanies it.
She did find the deed to the house in the woman's room.
The chainsaw didn't run when he tried to start it. He took it to his room and you hear him working on it.
Also surprised that nobody is talking about the post credit scene.
For me, the sally thing, could be change if you grab and say that this is sally´s daughter and she wants revenge for how fucked up her mother was or just take everything out but I truly feel that this was a studio thing.. "omg Halloween 2018 was so succesful, lets put in the new TCM" but no... Please no...
New fan of the podcast and I have to say I just LOVE how you guys review movies and how you don’t go with popular opinions. Glad I can finally match the video with the podcast audio.
The sisters: Got the car
Me: they can go drive away and escape now
Also Me: Oh right this is a horror movie
The sisters: Tries to hit leatherface with the car
Honestly the every other week releases made me realized how good and entertaining the podcast is
The ending of this film is one of the funniest things I ever seen lmao
They do actually find the deed. Melony ends up finding it upstairs in the old lady's vanity cabinet.
One thing I find somewhat interesting is that Richter is the german word for judge. And part of the plot somewhat depends on him judging others. No idea if that was intentional.
38:30 it's ok, I butcher english a lot too, but if you really want to know James, Álvarez has an accent in the first syllable, so the accent is there in the first A, like the accent in the name Abraham.
Okay okay okay so I think this may be me overthinking the Sally/Leatherface upstairs scene.
Sally I think in her mind she thinks that everything she went through should have been just as important to him as it was to her, and her having this image of this maniacal man in her head for so long kind of shatters when she is confronted by this silent sorrow filled man-child that she thinks doesn't remember her or what he did to her just breaks her for a moment.
But I think he did recognize her and having recently had someone he cared about essentially killed decides to just let her go, kind of like a sympathy gesture for what he did because he now knows that loss and goes after the girls because he's pounced on people for pointing less than a shotgun at him. It was just very nuanced
But of course when Sally shoots him he goes into scared animal mode and eviscerates her.. that ..she ..somehow lived through for like 15 minutes after?
Like I said may be me way over thinking that scene but I do that a lot with a lot of movies and books, but that's how I saw it.
That's a cool take on it, good opinion.
“OHhhh” @ 40:09 😭😂 so funny man
My headcanon is that the orphanage director was adopting him out to deranged families that she thought he would fit in with.
You're kinda right, the old woman does mention taking in "troubled teens" in and raising them to be better
Those “Oooohs” kept getting a genuine laugh outta me XD
Btw that feral hogs thing is a very well known thing in the south so i don't think they were referencing a tweet i feel whoever wrote the script just knew that its an actual issue in the south especially texas
