LOST TAPES

It’s not just that comedians Nick Prueher (The Late Show With David Letterman) and Joe Pickett (The Colbert Report) spent the last two years hunting down strange and forgotten videotapes in thrift stores, garage sales, and Dumpsters—it’s the way they show scenes from bizarre industrial-accident films, sexual-harassment sensitivity videos, and disturbing home movies while narrating with a funny patter that makes the Found Footage Festival an unexpected pleasure. Look for an exercise video featuring Playgirl’s 1985 Man of the Year, an instructional video on how to toilet-train cats, and tons more.
