BSVCCL Presents: Bede & Steve Vs. Leatherface Episode 4 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995)... "If Looks Could Kill, He Wouldn't Need A Chainsaw"

Welcome to episode 4 of Bede & Steve Vs. Leatherface, where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Steven T. Boltz explore the films of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

After the release both the box-office and ciritical failure of the 1990 third entry Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, no one knew what was going to happen next for the franchise. However in 1994, original TCM co-writer Kim Henkel got the rights to the franchise and decided to independently write/direct a fouth instalment. The resulting film was the 1995 film The Return Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Unfortunately, the flopped when it was released in cinemas. Two years later after its two stars Renee Zellweger & Matthew McConaughey became huge stars, Columbia TriStar Pictures picked up the distrubution rights of the film and re-cut/re-released it in 1997 as Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

Joining the hosts Bede & Steve to discuss this incredibly divisive fouth film in the series are first-time guests film critic Matt Konopka (⁠⁠⁠⁠KillerHorrorCritic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠) and filmmaker Douglas A. Plomitallo (Jason Xmas, Halloween Candy). Highlights of this episode include Matt & Doug explaining the first TCM film they both saw, Bede & Steve trying to figure out what Kim Henkel was going for, debating if the film is a parody/subversive critique on the franchise, Matthew McConaughey's batshit insane performance, Doug explaining the illuminati elements of the story and so much more.
