Special Super-Christmas-y Episode! We Watch Every Saw Movie For You, So That You Don't Have To! You're Welcome!

Yeah. All eight Saw movies. We watched them, for some reason. And then we took a looooooooooooong time to edit the episode, and then Andrew thought that it would be funny to release it on Christmas, and hurriedly got his shit together to crank this bad boy out. Again, you’re welcome. By the way, it should go without saying that you owe us for this one. We’ll be sending someone out to all of your places of residence to get our compensation shortly.

SO. The Saw franchise. Making this episode seemed like a great idea before we actually sat down and started watching them. Let’s just get this out of the way up front— they’re all pretty much what you expect them to be. Dumb, needlessly gory, not actually all that scary. What you might NOT expect is that the back story for the series starts getting ridiculously byzantine after the second movie, and by the end of the fourth movie that train has completely fucking derailed. We’re talking boxcars laying by the side of the tracks that a family of opossums has claimed for themselves, goods strewn about the countryside, a train conductor hurriedly changing into the clothes of the passenger he knocked unconscious so that he can blend into the crowd and escape the scene of the accident, travelling as a drifter from town to town, never telling anyone his real name, solving crimes and helping people in need— wait, what were we talking about again? Watching all of the Saw movies? Really? Are you sure? It doesn’t sound like something anyone who valued their free time and mental well-being would do.
