The Last Broadcast

I mean, I don't see how anyone at that time period could not be like inspired by The Blair Witch.

I mean, it was such a, and The Last Broadcast, 'cause it was such a analog horror environment that like pushed forward every capability past it.

Yeah, and it felt so accessible as well.

Like, you watch it and you're like, "Oh, I can make something like that with my pals.

And, and Cloverfield.

Um, there was one other movie that got released right before this movie, but it was filmed after this movie, but it was released before, called The Last Broadcast.

Ooh.

And there was a little bit of controversy allegedly where people were saying that the Blair Witch Project had been copycatting it.

But I haven't seen The Last Broadcast.

It is on our list, because I, I've heard interesting things about it.

But it's found footage.

Mm-hmm

Totally love it.

But quickly going back, there was The Last Broadcast from 1998.

This film explored a documentary crew investigating the Jersey Devil.

It was one of the first features shot entirely on consumer digital video, a technological shift that made found footage accessible to anybody with a camera.

Well, fuck, where'd you come up with that? Wow, how

original is that? I remember a little bit after, and I was going into more of the found footage stuff, and there's the movie The Last Broadcast that did do found footage horror the year before The Blair Witch or whatever, and they were kind of like, Man, why didn't our movie hit? But there was some people saying, oh, they stole our idea.

That's not really true because they're two dramatically different movies.

And I can tell

you why the last broadcast didn't hit.

It's because it sucks.

I didn't like

I know I'm a monster, blah, blah, blah.

So obviously...

I feel like I can't not pick The Last Broadcast.

Even though the ending of this movie, I don't love.

And arguably, they repeat the same footage a couple of times in it.
