IN THIS EPISODE…

We’re staring into the abyss of 2004’s Saw to see what will gaze back. There is no denying how influential this independent darling has become in its nearly twenty-year life span. Spanning not only an entire franchise but an entire sub-genre of horror. Hear our thoughts on the torture porn subgenre, favorite traps of the films and its franchise, its use of social commentary and much more.
