‘Saw’ Is the Beginning of a Franchise, a Subgenre, and a Powerhouse Horror Team [Halloweenies Podcast]

Rise and shine, listeners. You’re probably wondering where you are. I’ll tell you where you might be. You might be listening to the last podcast you ever hear. Up until now you simply sat in the shadows watching others live out their lives. But what do voyeurs see when they look into the mirror? Now, I see you as a strange mix of someone angry, yet apathetic. But mostly just pathetic. So are you going to watch yourself die today, listeners, or do something about it?

This is your wake-up call.

Join the Halloweenies as they play a deadly game. For over two hours, Michael Roffman, Justin Gerber, McKenzie Gerber, and special guest Randall Colburn of The Losers’ Club survive the terror of 2004’s Saw. Together, they revisit James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s game-changing blockbuster, charting its production history, its influence, and — ultimately — a legacy that continues with this month’s Saw X. Hence, why they’re unlocking this 2021 episode.

Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, and The Evil Dead. This year? It’s Chucky!

You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like their ensuing Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
