Every episode I will review films from my favorite genre, Found Footage Horror, on occasion with a guest who has just seen it for the first time. Sometimes, it’ll be my first watch too! I will also try my best to have filmmakers/artists within the community as well. My hope is to give movies the love they deserve and talk about the FF Horror community that's so awesome/DIY/Punk Rock at it's roots. Cheers to you and let's go find some footage!
Hosts Scott and Zach discuss the film *Poughkeepsie Tapes* alongside other found footage horror movies, analyzing the disturbing narratives and filmmaking techniques in this episode.
