Show Notes
You’d think we had actually planned this in advance but we’re dropping this episode on the birthday (25th January) of the director of our guest’s pick!
And speaking of said guest, Aoife Barry of TheJournal.ie fame and co-host of the Get Around To It podcast, peeled the covers away from her eyes long enough to stand up to Leatherface in the original outing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
In this episode, David updates us on what movies and TV he’s been watching lately, Kate provides a dispatch from her journey across the Irish Sea, the extent of the Texas Chainsaw cinematic franchise is revealed, Kate admits she is a Leatherface apologist (NOT an Ed Gein apologist!), we pick apart all the horror tropes over the past 50 years, the return of our guest’s underseen gem pick, a very journalist-appropriate “What’s In The Box?” and plenty more!

More from The Last One To See
Much like a vampire who has fallen wildly in love with you at first sniff, Twilight was simply inescapable. Like a teenage werewolf, it morphed rapidly, from 50 Shades fan fic to a best selling book to a film tie in, coinciding with the full moon of TMZ gossip culture rising across the horizon, making its young cast some of the most watched people on the planet. That’s enough metaphors stretched to breaking point, we are joined by our friends at The Cinemile to unpick not just a film but a cultural juggernaut, both full of frankly disturbing behaviour.
Danny Boyle, Ewan McGregor, Cameron Diaz, a banging soundtrack, an iconic poster and an absurdly stacked supporting cast. What could possibly go wrong? Well, quite a lot actually.
Even if, like Deb, you're not on the guest list for rock'n'roll heaven, we'll never turn you away at The Last One To See! This week we welcome Graham Smyth, the last one to see EMPIRE RECORDS.
