“Alright. My son sent me the Texas chainsaw episode telling me more or less, it was awesome and I’d like it. He’s a 16 year old HS film student and horror fan. And I’m a cultural anthropology guy and sure, dad. I loved it so much and am “pleased as punch” he found it compelling. Here’s how I explained it to my older son: “Now before you shrug it off - it’s a pretty fascinating dissection of the movie from the standpoint of generational worldview, class, “othering” and social science and, even though they don’t use the term, MARXISM. I’m pleased as punch that he finds this kind of dense, to use a dirty word scholarly view of even quotidian culture appealing and if I read his tone right, a bit mindblowing.” So seriously, thank you.
TOO MANY COOKS next. I can’t wait.”
