Saw is a horror movie franchise that has been ongoing since 2004. It is one of the highest grossing horror film franchises of all time, while also having an infamous reputation for being "torture porn", as a prominent aspect of the entire series involves characters being forced to partake in extremely dangerous and painful scenarios, or "traps", often dying or being mutilated as a result. Given Chris's general fondness for juvenile entertainment like My Little Pony, Sailor Moon and Legos, it's somewhat jarring to learn that one of his favorite film series involves explicit scenes of sadistic torture and murder. He appears to take comfort in the fact that the violence and pain depicted are not real, just "Hollywood Magic."
