New Episode: 1992 TV Broadcast of Texas Chainsaw 2! (Patreon)

The latest full-length episode of The Purple Stuff Podcast is here, and baby, we’re takin’ ya to Texas.

Back in October of 1992, a FOX affiliate out of Boston decided to run The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 – a grisly, unrated movie with lots of blood and mayhem – right there on broadcast television, in prime time. What chutzpah!!

Join us for an hourlong examination of this ancient television event. We’ll tell you all about the film (which we both love), plus how this FOX affiliate handled airing such a gnarly movie, and we’ll even get into some of the commercials that played during the broadcast. (Including some that were Halloween-themed!)

If you’ve seen the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre but never the sequel, boy, it’s a WAY different movie. Loud and over-the-top as a rule. It must be seen to be believed, but this episode is the next best thing.

The new episode should be on your regular feeds now, but if you want the direct links, here it is on Apple, or Spotify, or if you prefer, here’s a direct link to the MP3.

Oh, and here’s a little video we put together showing the film’s awesomely ominous television intro, plus all of the commercials we discuss on the show.

But wait, there’s more! September isn’t over yet, so we’ll be back tomorrow with this month’s Patreon-exclusive bonus show! Stay tuned, and thanks as always! We hope everyone is having a great Halloween season!
