Then it’s on to scenic Texas by way of Bulgaria for the latest legacy sequel, ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, minus the indefinite article.

There’s the endearing rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. Then Matt and Chris close out the ceremonies by sharing their 5 Favorite Films That Could Use A Legacy Sequel. Though maybe that answer should be ‘None’.
