WTM Ep. 349: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) With Zolly Becker !!

As we celebrate All Hallow's Eve, Zolly Becker joined us for a look back at the 2003 remake/reboot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This episode is jam-packed with discussion on all things Leatherface. We discuss every film in the franchise, their respective place in it, as well as some knockoffs  and the new Netflix Ed Gein show. Hell, even some of our tangents are TCM-related. We also touch on most of the Platinum Dunes Horror films from the 2000's. This one was a ton of fun to record. Enjoy. If you want even more Chainsaw-centric discussion we've done episodes previously on the original TCM, TCM 2 as well as the remake/reboot from 2022. We now have a YouTube channel!

STRANGER DANGER!! Mulder and Wolfie are joined by returning guest Stan Switek to help kick off their focus on Serial Killer Thrillers from the late 70's - early 80's. First up is William Friedkin's Cruising (1980). With all the subtlety of an anvil, we roll up our sleeves, grease up our arms and dive into the late 70's New York Cruising scene. Enjoy.

It's time for Mulder's Birthday Pick, and he selected the rarely-seen Roller Disco gem, Skatetown U.S.A. (1979). Starring Scott Baio, Maureen McCormick, Patrick Swayze (in his film debut), Billy Barty, Flip Wilson, and Cocaine... lots and lots of Cocaine. Back again to help Mulder and Wolfie T break down this gift to cinema is fellow Disco enthusiast Stuart Baulk of the Midnight Movie Cowboys Podcast.  You can find the Midnight Movie Cowboys Podcast most places, but they are hosted right here on Podbean.

This special bonus episode is something Mulder and Stu (from the incredible Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast) concocted back in 2022. We're both unabashed Disco fans so we decided to start a new series of episodes that focused solely on Disco films and the music in them. We did three episodes and they were only available on the MMC YouTube page, until now. We decided to resurrect the series to talk about more Disco films and I thought that we should make the previous 3 episodes available as well. I have re-edited them a bit to add some music (something that wouldn't really fly on YouTube). This episode covers 54 (1998). We discuss all of the various cuts including the newer Director's Cut. We also discuss the club itself, Studio 54, its creators Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell and of course, the music! We have already recorded Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 2 in which we discussed Thank God it's Friday (1978) and Roller Boogie (1979) and it will be released after the Season 1 re-release, so in other words, there's plenty of Disco content coming your way so stay tuned. These episodes will also be available on the MMC feed and I believe the original video episodes are still on their YouTube channel as well. Enjoy! ***REMINDER*** WTM is now on YouTube!

We were once again joined by Zolly Becker to discuss the newest product offered up to the general public by James Gunn, Superman (2025). The first half of the episode we discuss the new film without spoilers, then Mulder reviews Watermelon Man (1970) to complete the movie challenge. What follows after that is about 45 additional minutes of Superman discussion WITH spoilers. There are a few tangents but we mostly stay on topic or at least topic adjacent and we pack a lot into this episode, or at least Zolly does. Enjoy! Our next episode cover's Mulder's birthday pick, Skatetown U.S.A. (1979). This should give you ample time to buy the blu ray, which is the only available option to watch it!

We're back with Wolfie's Birthday pick, River's Edge (1986). We were joined once again by Josh Hartnett's close personal friend Chola, and her husband Eric. This is one of Chola's favorite films so that contributed to this being another 3+ hour long episode. That, and all the tangents, including Mulder recounting a True Crime murder from his hometown!
