Episode Eight: Found Footage

“It’s not like [Rob Zombie] is out there strong-arming small children for their candy money.”
“Although — you can kinda picture that, can’t you?”
“I kinda can, yeah.”

Felicitations, fright fans! Are you ready to face a fantastic festival of fearsome found footage films?

…. All right, that’s enough alliteration for one post. Welcome to another episode with your hosts Jennifer Lovely and Michael Montoure, as we bring you the skinny on horror cinema’s fastest-growing sub-genre, and discuss its strengths and limitations.

Expect chills, thrills, and more:

Why found footage films don’t try to emulate Blair Witch‘s improvised scenes
Scooby Doo as a gateway drug to horror
Our guilty fondness for the recent Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated series
How The Blair Witch Project lead the way for small-budget productions like The Battery and Jug Face
Jennifer rants entertainingly about Rob Zombie, Amanda Palmer, and crowdfunding
A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it LMFAO reference, and a mention of Christian Bale’s spectacular on-set meltdown
Montoure has this episode’s “Fuck This Noise” moment, with the indie horror feature “All Cheerleaders Die”

Let us know what you think, and thanks for listening!

We’re back, and we’re talking about some of the best horror films you might not even know were directed by women! Join us again for all this and more:

We babble about The Babadook and examine Jennifer’s Body. (What? Wait, no — not Jennifer’s body, that would be an entirely different podcast …. )
Jennifer talks about what it was like to watch American Psycho for the first time recently
We declare our love for the 80’s classic Near Dark and the 80’s maybe-not-so-classic Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare
We talk about why we were disappointed in American Mary but still can’t wait to see what’s next from the Soska Sisters
Michael explains why he can’t wait to show Jennifer Ravenous, and he finds out something he’d rather not know about one of the actors in it
