Get ready, JawHeads, because we’re about to press play on a treasure trove of found footage greatness! This week, we’re joined by the legendary curators of odd VHS relics themselves—Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher from Found Footage Festival! These guys have seen it all, from bizarre instructional videos to the strangest home movies ever captured on tape. The Fest is currently on tour, about to make it’s stop in Chicago and then onto other cities. Check their site to see if it’s near you!

Inspired by their archival adventures, we’re counting down our Top 3 Found Footage Movies—whether it’s hidden gems, mockumentaries, or the iconic films that defined the genre. Expect some surprises, plenty of nostalgia, and maybe a few wild VHS-worthy picks of our own!

Plus, we’re reviewing The Order, the gritty new thriller starring Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, and Tye Sheridan. Does its dark, intense world of extremism and moral complexity hold up, or does the weight of its bleak tone sink the experience? We’ll break it down.

So grab your old camcorder, dust off that VHS collection, and join us for another jam-packed jaw! Let’s roll!
