Nico and Adam sift through a pile of unmarked tapes to uncover the origins of the found footage genre. After a surprise SIXTH nominee is added to the list (11:13), the guys discuss: The Blair Witch Project, the film that popularized the genre and terrified audiences in a way few films ever have (26:01); Paranormal Activity, the first installment of the mega-franchise that helped solidify Blumhouse as the studio for 21st century horror (36:03); [REC], the hyper-real Spanish zombie movie with a final 10 minutes that won’t leave your brain (45:32); Cloverfield, the post-9/11, American riff on Godzilla that proved, if anything, that J.J. Abrams is damn good marketer (59:06); and Creep; the mumblegore two-hander starring Mark Duplass and director Patrick Brice (1:09:29).
