Does anyone recall which episode (or maybe Patreon) the Fac referenced The Macpherson Tapes? I'm sure this must be how I found out about it but I can't see anything logical which ties in. It would've been an ep from the last six months. I don't know about you all but I add so many things to my watchlist when Alex and Andrea mention them and then when I finally get to watch them I like to go back and listen to the discussion again and get even more from it.

I guess maybe it could have been on something they guested on too???

Has anyone figured out how to watch Red Rooms 2023 (Les Chambres Rouges) within the US?
All I can find is a TV series by the same name on Tubi.
It’s on both Andrea and Alex’s 2023 list.

I know that Alex has written about found footage horror films in the past and that the podcast has at least one episode on the subgenre, so I thought I would share a related project of mine with the community. 👻

I just had my first book published by McFarland & Co. It's adapted from my PhD thesis and titled POV Horror: The Trauma Aesthetic of the Found Footage Subgenre. Here is a brief description, if you'd like to know more:

Drawing together strands of film theory and psychology, this book offers a fresh assessment of the found footage horror subgenre. It reconceptualizes landmark films—including The Blair Witch Project (1999), Cloverfield (2008), Paranormal Activity (2009), and Man Bites Dog (1992)—as depictions of the lived experience and social legacy of psychological trauma. In particular, the author demonstrates how the frantic cinematography and ambiguous formulation of the monster evokes the shocked and disoriented cognition of the traumatized mind. Moreover, the frightening effect of trauma on society is shown to be a recurring theme across the subgenre. Close textual analysis is given to a wide range of films over several decades, including titles that have yet to receive any academic attention. Divided into four distinct sections, the book examines how found footage horror films represent the effects of historical and contemporary traumatic events on Western societies, the vicarious spread of traumatic experiences via mass media, the sublimation of domestic abuse into haunted houses, and the viewer’s identification with the monster as an embodiment of perpetrator trauma.

I was also recently interviewed about the book on a different podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQWSulRwxQc

Just curious to know.

Hi guys,
So a little info here. With the current situation of the internet, specifically that it is going to be more and more difficult to find movies and series, so I bought a hard drive and decided to make an archive and already downloaded several (about 20) movies, but I wanted to ask you for suggestions for movies! genre movies, horror, science fiction, animation (movies, series and shorts) from all the countries, hong kong action movies, Mexican movies! random movies that you found by chance, archival material that you find interesting, old documentaries of how bonsai are made, interviews, etc...
Some of the movies I already have:
The people under the stairs
The man who laughs
The brother from another planet
Neon genesis evangelion the original one
Les yeux sans visage
Freaks
Como agua para chocolate
Cat people
Tree of palme
Piping tom
Les cinq diables
Les quatre cents coup
All The Grudge movies
Kotoko (2011)
Audicion
Don't care so much about movies that can always be found on dvd, blu ray, or to buy online, I want what I won't be able to find later I guess.
Thank you very very much!
Sorry if something is misspelled. I translated them with google translate

Film trivia is back at Facets Cinema & Video (1517 W. Fullerton Ave)! Its a free, pub style trivia hosted by myself and Mike Vanderbilt (co-programmer of the Music Box of Horrors). It’s the LAST THURSDAY of every month. It starts at 7pm, and is followed by a screening at 9:00.

This month (1/26) we’re showing Jack Hills classic(?) 1975 teen girl gang exploitation movie THE SWITCHBLADE SISTERS. Its a great “could this even be made today??” flick that was somehow inspired by both Shakespeare and Ayn Rand?? You need to see it to believe it.

This is 2023’s first trivia event monthly series, and we hope to keep it a cool, fun time for people to meet up and talk about film! There are tons of prizes for the top 3 teams (of up to 4 players each), including rare vintage film posters, rare boutique DVDs & VHS, & promo swag from film distributors. We’ve got a giant 40”x60” vintage poster of Bergman’s HOUR OF THE WOLF to hand out this time around. Plus we give out free movie passes for the winners of each round. Free shit at free trivia!

It’s for people of all levels of film knowledge and enjoyment. In the past we’ve had categories such “Written For the Screen” where we played cheesy songs written specifically for a movie and you had to tell us what film it was for, “Take the Money and Run” where we ask you about actors who took a giant paycheck from a huge blockbuster series and then used their clout and money to make the weirdest personal projects. We also have a monthly “Loser’s Luck” category where the team that scores the lowest gets to pick a category for the following month – so even if you lose, you get the advantage the next time around. This month it’s Nancy Meyers movies!

The concession stand is open all night for your popcorn/candy/beer/soda needs. So feel free to come by and check it out! Sign up is at 6:30-6:45pm.
