The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has one of the worst behind the stories of all time… We break down how Tobe Hooper forced his cast to film in 115 degree Texas heat surrounded by real rotting cattle carcasses for weeks on end, told them not to bathe, and filmed the infamous dinner scene in one 26 hour session straight while cast members were vomiting between takes. We discuss how this movie claims to be based on a true story right in the opening title card… and how that is completely made up. And we give our honest reaction to a film that Quentin Tarantino calls perfect and we have some thoughts on that.
