EP 49 - SAW (Unrated) (2004)

LET THE MARASAWN BEGIN!

Long before they started the show last fall, the boys had one series of films in particular at the top of their list to tackle: the Saw franchise. Coming from humble beginnings, this film was the brainchild of recently-graduated film students James Wan and Leigh Whannell, and after its release, it would propel the two into Hollywood filmmaking stardom, while the franchise itself became a permanent staple in the horror genre, inspiring numerous grotesque films and spawning more sequels than you can shake a puppet at. So, as we count down the weeks to Saw X, come join Alec and Brian as they revisit where it all began in Wan and Whannell's original horror-thriller, Saw!
