We binge-watched all the Saw movies, and it turns out the biggest twist of all… is that we kinda like this franchise now!? We succumbed to Jigsaw’s game just in time for the theatrical release of the latest installment, SPIRAL, and we’re here to break it all down for you. Listen to us lament the failures of the franchise at its nastiest and most boring while relishing in the delights of being tricked and manipulated by our favorites. We debate the gratuitous sexuality of 2000s horror and the credit that copycat killers deserve while trying to make sense of the incomprehensible number of characters and plot twists across these movies. Welcome to Hoffmanville, folks. We spoil the entire Saw franchise here, but we hold a bit back in our discussion of SPIRAL, since not everyone can make it out to theaters right now. Still, if you want to save our discussion of that movie for later, we won’t hold it against you - we talk about it from 48:41-59:48.
