Episode description

I'd like to apologize to my mom and Matt's mom. I planned this. I made this happen. And it's because of my decisions that, now, MATT LIKES THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! Wooo! I didn't think it was possible. I thank all of you for being part of this.

Talking Points:

The 2019 LI Fall Beer Fest and a selection of delicious pumpkin beers and one particularly autumn cider!
Found footage and cinema verité horror!
Postmodernism and image/truth!
Acting! Improv! Directing!
Chaos and layers of reality/fiction!
The parodic-documentary genre!
Ethics and fact/fiction!
The announcement of next week's film (our last of October 2019!)
