Speaker 1: And we are back. Okay, so we're going to divulge
into a nice little thing called Texas here Chainsaw Massacres.
So what do you know about this franchise? Are you
very familiar with it? Have you seen all of them?
You were on the retro? Right, we did the retro for.
Speaker 2: The first one on the Red bro I don't believe so,
good lord, we only did the first retro. That seems weird.
I thought, we Why did we just do one retro?
Is there like five movies or something there? I definitely
wasn't on it, so.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just maybe we didn't do a retro and
I just watched watch the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, I've seen a movie. I think it was
the Jessica Beale one.
Speaker 1: Yes. Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that just like a remake one the newer?
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I think that's the only one I've seen. And I
might have seen like sequences of the original or one
of the originals when it was just on those those channels,
those cable channels that would just be having those types
of movies on very Yeah. In the dark on the series,
I think it's like just a classic like horror franchise. Though,
like the name is just very very catchy leather face,
great villain. So I like it, but it's also one
of those horror movies. It's like kind of gross at
least that's how I thought of it. Just remember certain
sequences grossing me out as a wee young lad watching
those movies, probably too young to be watching them. But yeah,
I don't know. It's it's definitely not one that I'm
like seeking out, but definitely a franchise that I I
think I can understand why. It's like standing the test
of time. Like it's just it's it's very catchy is
the wrong word, but it's it's it's a popular franchise. Yeah,
cult following there you go. So I would love to
see like a really good remake of it, even though
I'm not like super attached to the franchise in general.
But yeah, that's kind of where I am. What about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not watched all of them. There's a
few that I have seen, a few of those original
ones and then yeah, the first one, so I'm yeah,
we did not do a retro. I don't know why
I was thinking we did, because I know I watched
the first one, but I think the conversation that was
had was the Texas Chainsawn mask of video game. Yeah,
side quests, we'll.
Speaker 2: Probably do a retro if this is actually gonna be
a thing, like if they're going to be new ones.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I would say so. We did do a
review for the one that dropped on Netflix. Me and
Travis did that one, and it was it was not
the greatest, Yeah, it was not. It was the thumbs
down one, but there was.
Speaker 2: Seen it low on many people's letterbox, you know, year
year list.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was low for sure. There's definitely some
better ones in that whole kind of series. But yeah,
it is, it is what it is. I'm down to retro.
That would be fun one to go back and and
to go through. But yeah, so there currently there's a
bid war going on. That's that's what we're kind of
building up towards here. And again it's one of those
things like obviously rights issues and horror franchises just seem
to be going through the run of just having issues
with getting picked up and getting new ones off the
ground and yaha, yeah, yeah, the whole rabbit hole goes
on and on and on. So right now though that
there's several creative uh creatives involved in companies that are
involved in trying to acquire these rights and this whole
bid war going on. So you have Jordan Peel, you know,
Monkey Paul, Taylor Sheridan, Paramount Oz Perkins, Neon, JT. Mulner,
Strange Darling, director h Now you have like Glenn Powell
only produced, uh only producing role for for now basically
A twenty four, and then you have Netflix. Now, Netflix,
I feel like they're they're the ones that are behind
the last one. I'm pretty sure. So I don't know
if we need to keep that with them. Let's let's
get it out there. Let's get it out there. For
me personally, I would love to see Taylor Sheridan just
because I'm super biased on Tulsa King Yellowstone and I'm
gonna watch I think it's called The Lioness with Zoe's
al Donna, Nicole Kidman. I really want to watch that
one next. So what about you?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean, looking at this, I think the
one that stands out the most for me is the
Jordan Peele monkey Paw. That'd be I think that would
be where I'm leaning just picturing what like Jordan Peele,
his creatives can like tackle with this franchise, I think
they'd just be so fun. And obviously, I mean a
lot of great like studios have released really good horror
movies in the past, but I just feel like Monkey
Paw is something very unique with with just the product
that we've seen them do in the past, and I
would love to just have that new, like original swing
on a very familiar to Texas chainsaw massacre franchise. And
obviously I feel like all of these, Netflix would probably
be the one that I would trust the least with
it as I never saw it, but just judging by
people's critiques of the previous one, that's not really where
I think they should be going. And I don't know,
like A twenty four could be really fun too, And
I think we've talked about this a little bit in
the past also of just like the potential of having
Glenn Powell like being a producer. He's a Texas boy,
I believe, so I think he would probably be in
it as well, and I'm a big fan of him,
so that one's really fun. But yeah, if I had
to pick one out of any of these, it would
definitely be the Jordan Peele route. And I don't know,
because I just I would trust them to really stay
true to like what makes Texas Chainsaw Massacre so like
iconic and like different than other slasher uh, because that
would be the genre, right slasher, even though he's he's
chained chains on instead of hacking. But but like again,
just like a more modern swing on. I think that
could be really intriguing and uh a little bit deeper,
maybe even so. But uh yeah, and then just I
don't know, I don't know where else I was gonna
go with that. That's all I have to say. I
guess moncky Pa, mikey Pa, there you go.
Speaker 1: Cool. Yeah, So, uh, I'll be interesting to see how
how that goes, you know, best of luck to the
highest bidder.
Speaker 2: Do you think there's like a lot of because it
definitely is like a cold falling. You think once that
gets announced, it's gonna have like really high expectations of
like this has to be really good. I feel like
it's low expectations coming off of the last Netflix Chainsaw
masker title.
Speaker 1: I think it all depends on who who gets it,
who lands it and wins that war. I mean, if
it does have like appeal name behind that, you're gonna
have a lot of expectation. But I mean, if it
goes down to ya, might not be a lot of
hype there. But I don't know to each his zone,
to each his zone.
Speaker 2: But do you think it'd be like a universe thing
that they'd be setting up or just a one movie
Let's just see how this goes? Or are we going
stranger things? For releasing three movies and uh still waiting
on that second one. I guess it's this year, isn't it?
Speaker 1: That is this year? Three parts?
Speaker 2: Or two?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Three parts for for it frustrated things? Right, you're yeah?
Yeah yeah O November twenty six, Christmas Day, New Year's So.
Speaker 2: It's really three this year? Oh my god. Okay, I
thought it was three chapters total, including the first one
that we saw already.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, this this is broken up into three. They're
releasing three dates. Yeah Nomember twenty six, Christmas Day and
then New Year.
Speaker 2: I feel like we talked about this, but it just
way over my head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be good.
Speaker 2: It might not be good. Yeah. The question about do
you think they would tackle this? Is it just a
one one movie drop?
Speaker 1: I think if it's Peel, you're gonna get a one
movie drop. I don't think you're going to get a
bunch again. It depends. It depends on the studio. Yeah,
it really really does. And oh yeah, it doesn't sound
like that's not necessarily a thing right now either. The
fact that okay, I think the it's all about the
money right now, and whoever gets it then they can
run with it and whatever direction they want, whether or
not they want to do more than one just one.
Who knows so as opposed to other acquisitions, I'm sure
it'll be like, oh, you know, we want to buy
into this or buy the rights, and we're going to
do like three films, And then the distributors or the
owners might be like, ah, you know, we're not going
to do that, or oh sure you want to do three, Yeah,
then let's let's do it a deal upon that. This
I think is solely based on money, and whoever gets
that best bid, that best deal locked in, they're going
to get it and they're going to do whatever they
want with it. So hard to say. I think it varies.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be like, what if we took away the chainsaw?
What if it's Texas? Not so chainsaw masker you know
he changed the weapon.
Speaker 1: No, just kidding, Texas Freebar massacre.
Speaker 2: What if we use like a knife, you know, just
to change it up a little bit, Like that's that's
one of the producers. How can we make this unique?
Sure there's some idiot uh just lines that are dropped
in those producer meetings. Just people are so disconnected with
the actual like side of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people that haven't even watched the original of the
franchise just making calls.
Speaker 2: You know, there's someone in the room that's just looking
at him like this, like, how the fuck did this
guy get in here? That's what the Emperor draw.
Speaker 1: Cool Well, I realized in retrospect that, as far as
the trajectory of the news notes go, I was not
supposed to get to Chainsaw until after the trailers. So
just you know, assaulting the wound for Travis.
Speaker 2: So he's coming in here and being right time.
