About this episode
Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw.
Episode 8 takes us to Leatherface — the prequel that said, “What if we rewound the clock again… but make it a road trip slasher with an identity crisis?”
Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan unpack the film that tries to dig into Leatherface’s teenage years, swaps perspectives, and pulls a twist that basically dares you to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about the mask.
It’s grimy. It’s violent. It’s oddly committed to being its own thing while still chained to legacy expectations. We get escaped patients, desert chaos, and a version of the origin story that feels like it came from a different franchise that wandered onto the wrong set.
Is it bold? Is it unnecessary? Is it secretly better than people admit when they’re not yelling about continuity?
One more rev of the engine.
We’re almost at the end of this blood-soaked highway.
