Have you heard the good news? I’m on the Now Playing Network! To celebrate, I’m hosting other podcasters on the network to come tell me about their favorite scary movies. And oh, how the tables have turned… usually I’m the guest on Jim Laczkowski’s podcast Director’s Club, but now he is my guest. Jim— a writer, film critic, musician, and librarian— joins me to talk about his favorite horror movie of all time, Tobe Hooper’s masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). We discuss astrology, Franklin, the uncanniness of Texas and owning too many horror t-shirts. Be sure to listen to the end to hear Jim’s song written and performed especially for this episode!
