I've never seen any of the Saw movies; I vaguely remember the first one being more of a psychological thriller with the "one of these two guys has to cut their foot off for the other to live" thing. At what point did it tip over into the weird-rear end torture maze stuff?

It is basically a gory Rube Goldberg simulator, similar to Final Destination.

So any sort of intriguing plot and character development became secondary to the crazy death traps that could be farmed out to multiple design groups and then easily cobbled together to make a movie.

Which is a shame because there was some real potential with Jigsaw and his lackeys, even the one they reveal at the end of the last movie who did nothing at all but they played the Theme tune anyways like any of cares.

I'll go to bat for the first Saw. It's a decent little locked room thriller, and going in blind with a packed crowd on opening night was one of the most fun experiences I've had at the movies. That being said, I can't remember a franchise that turns so sharply into a quality brick wall. To be honest, the franchises success has always been somewhat of a mystery to me. Between the soap opera-caliber acting, paper-thin characters, and deep journey up its own rear end in terms of woldbuilding, there hasn't been a single entry post-original that I didn't find completely tedious to sit through.

Yeah, they all came out in when I was in my early 20s and my "gore is awesome" phase. Now, I tried to watch the beginning of 4 (I think that it the one that opens with the autopsy of Jigsaw) when it was on TV recently, and was like "this is gory for no reason" and just turned it off.

The one where the death trap is "two guys saw a woman in half because she cheated on both of them" was the lowest point for the SAW franchise. IMO

Saw 2 has some really fun stuff but overall the series is complete garbage and its a shame there are people who could possibly give a poo poo about this reboot.

I never had any interest in the Saw series, and still have not seen one. I guess I just like my horror on a shoe string budget

Also, and not to keep kicking the dog here, but Saw has some of the worst editing and cinematography of any successful major release I've ever seen. It's rapid-fire flash editing was okay in the first film, but became intolerable in the sequels. The series' aesthetics are really awful overall.

I like this podcast a lot but if I listen to it while baked at night I'll fall asleep because its generally chill and I think Erics voice is kinda soothing/cute.

Has anyone requested Death Spa? Is it too similar to Killer Workout? The premise is wacky and theres a scene where a yuppie seductively eats asparagus.

I coulda sworn the guys had a live episode for Death Spa in the chamber but maybe it was just a screening. In that case, they really need to get on Death Spa. That movie is absolutely bonkers.

Think they'd do an On-Screen of Flatliners(2017)? Ellen Page was pretty good in that. E: I'd do bi-curious stuff with Andrew. MariusLecter fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Oct 19, 2017 |

Disgraceful. I'm deleting all my bookmarks and saved episodes and never listening to this travesty of a podcast ever again. Bob Dole is a great American hero and these chucklefucks went and took shots at Bob Dole. How dare they do a Bob Dole impression and speak in the first person!
