Description
Troy and Roger take a daring plunge into the swampy chaos of Tobe Hooper's 1976 shocker, Eaten Alive!. Join the guys as they dissect the film, connecting the dots to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They’ll explore the tangled character dynamics, the bewildering narrative that leaves you wondering if anyone knew what was going on, and the surprisingly perilous role of child characters (because nothing says horror like a kid in a dangerous situation!). They discuss the film’s portrayal of violence, its exploitation aspects, and the wig choices that make you question if the costume designer was playing a prank. Expect reflections on character motivations that are about as clear as murky swamp water and a deep dive into the film's legacy in the horror community. So, grab your favorite snack (and maybe a spare wig for good measure) as Roger and Troy chew on Eaten Alive—a film that's as entertaining as it is baffling!
