  • An undead good time

    This is such a good idea for a Romero based podcast, I’m actually kind of jealous I didn’t think of it myself. It’s a lot of fun hearing everyone’s NOTLD origins, especially since it’s my favorite movie of all time. This also means I myself have enjoyed it suffered through a lot of these offshoots myself, and I give Bede and his guests credit for crafting such entertaining discussions around even the worst of them.

BVTLD Presents: Bede & Steve Vs. Leatherface Episode 5 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)... "Inspired By A True Story"
Q: Do you think a modern remake can or should update the setting while maintaining the core structure?
Yes, the group agrees a remake should reinterpret the core structure for today's audience rather than mimic the original; some argue for a new social or political angle, while others value faithful yet fresh reinterpretation of the family dynamics and key set-pieces.
BVTLD Presents: Bede & Steve Vs. Leatherface Episode 5 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)... "Inspired By A True Story"
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the 2003 remake?
The remake is solid and has its moments, though many feel it is not as strong as the original; its modern sheen and brutal scenes generate a strong response, and it successfully reinvigorates the franchise while inviting ongoing comparison to the original.
