First Found Footage Film (1961, 1980)

Episode Summary

If a footage falls in the woods and no one finds it, is it ever even really a movie at all? On this episode, we dig into the First Found Footage Film, 1961's brilliant indie THE CONNECTION. We also discuss the oft mislabeled First Found Footage Film, 1980's CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (at about 1:10). **Trigger Warning: sexual violence, animal cruelty.** We discuss the virtues and violations of each film, the genre, and more. And of course, there's some MouthGarf Report, and a rousing game of I See What You Did There. So, come on in. We're all waiting for Cowboy here.
