Heather's snot-filled confessional at the end of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT is one of the most iconic shots in horror movie history – so much so that this type of extreme close-up became a staple of the found footage genre

we just finished a months-long miniseries on found footage horror films and im so happy that we capped it off with the scariest found footage film of them all, Rap World. i mean this without exaggeration, i think it is a truly horrific movie and also one of the funniest in years
Try to remember these times, listeners. Some of the best nights of our lives were being had in parking lots.
When Connor O’Malley brings a couple DV cameras to the suburban abyss of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, we simply have no choice but to watch.

SPOILERS FOR RAP WORLD
It took a whole night of (not) working — not to mention Matt’s life — but the Coolbaugh Crew managed to record one (1) whole song! And it’s the worst garbage you’ve ever heard!
Has any movie ever captured the “late 2000s era suburban scumbag” vibe better?

Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN has awakened. And we may never stop talking about him.
Also discussed on the Patreon this week is BUGONIA, GOOD FORTUNE, SLOW HORSES, and, as always, some truly fascist industry news! Fun!

The film in fact originated from a prank the director pulled on his friends during a Zoom call that involved the scene from REC where they search the attic with the camera

There’s a demon in the internet
We are so back! It’s the worst pandemic in modern history, and we couldn’t be more excited (and terrified) to be trapped on a Zoom call with you (and a demon) again.
Lockdown-era movies have been pretty unimpressive so far, but HOST is a VERY notable exception.

“You don’t always know your kid, and that is never your fault.”
Uhhh… “never”? Really? I dunno about that one, Vick.
But if you’ve seen SEARCHING, then (SPOILER) you know there’s a *lot* of cope going on here, to say the least.
