Episode 68: Amputees

Amputations are a serious medical procedure and amputees are usually victims of an accident, health issue or a casualty of war. But you wouldn’t know that from watching the majority of the movies we talk about today with topics like psychotic surgeons, circus freaks, amputee kung fu masters, prosthetic chicken feet and Bruce Campbell with a chainsaw attached to his bloody stump arm. And all that happens before we even get to the 90s! Today is all about a topic that some say should be sacred but doesn’t even come close in today’s nutso episode on Amputees.
