This week we’re unpacking The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1995). We trace its messy production history, praise Matthew McConaughey and Renée Zellweger’s committed performances, and debate how its tone turns backwoods grime into cult appeal. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 28:31.
