Episode description

An interview us found footage fans (say that 3 times fast) have been waiting for! Thanks to Dean Alioto ("The McPherson Tape," "The Last Podcast"), we're joined tonight by Philip Escott & Sarah Appleton, the director & co-director of the incredible 2021 documentary that is streaming on Shudder, "The Found Footage Phenomenon." This is the found footage freaks Holy Grail when it comes to documentaries. It covers the early history of POV shots, fake snuff films, the Blair Witch Project boom and where the state of found footage films are today. We really appreciate Sarah & Philip lending their time, we had a blast and we hope you guys enjoy!
