In 2022, our co-founders Gabriel Theis and Connor McCarthy launched "Not That Bad: A Movie Podcast." The show aimed to bring at least a little bit of positivity to the world on online movie discourse, and to give the co-hosts an excuse to discuss the "bad" movies they loved. Over time, the desire to produce more types of content grew, and from this desire, That Bad Media was born. As an evolution and extension of our original intentions, That Bad Media will continue to try to have and release as much fun as possible.

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III - A Failed Pilot for a Slasher Franchise
It's been 50 years since the release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, hailed as one of the most important and impactful horror films ever made. The sequels? Not so much.
While Tobe Hooper would direct another sequel, the true sequelification of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre wouldn't happen until the third entry. After the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise started to slow down, New Line Cinemas decided to buy the rights to Leatherface and his cannibalistic clan to jumpstart a new tentpole franchise.
The result was Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, which was arguably masssacred by the MPAA and substantially tamed down for theatrical release. What was left was a film that disappointed fans and disinterested the moviegoing public. Years later, after an endless horde of requels and reboots to the iconic classic, does this forgotten third entry have any meat on its bones? Let's find out as we put the teeth in terror (whatever that means).
