Happy Halloween! Larry is joined by comedian Christopher Michael to discuss his favorite film and a horror classic, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. Often imitated but never duplicated, Tobe Hooper's slasher film features stunning cinematography, chilling performances, and several subtle motifs and messages, all of which are discussed in this special, spooky edition of MFMI.
This was originally meant to be uploaded before Halloween but, due to technical difficulties, it is being uploaded a few days late. Apologies!
