This week, Jack and George head into the woods for Hunting Matthew Nichols, a found-footage/mockumentary horror film about a documentary filmmaker trying to solve the decades-old disappearance of her brother and his friend on Vancouver Island. The movie follows Tara Nichols as she digs into old evidence, missing tapes, family trauma, and the kind of mystery that starts as true crime and slowly turns into something much darker.

Part missing-person documentary, part supernatural horror story, and part "why would anyone go back into those woods?" cautionary tale, Hunting Matthew Nichols plays with the old fear that some stories do not want to be solved. It leans into found-footage nostalgia, but with a cleaner documentary style instead of pure shaky-cam chaos.

For Episode 7, we talk about whether the movie earns its scares, how well the mystery builds, and why fake documentaries can sometimes feel more unsettling than traditional horror movies. We also get into what makes a good "lost tape" story work, how much backstory is too much backstory, and whether this one belongs in the same conversation as the found-footage movies that clearly inspired it.

Basically, we watched a movie about people investigating a horrible disappearance in the woods, and then we did the most responsible thing possible: we recorded ourselves talking about why that was a terrible idea.

There are things you watch because you want to.

And then there are things you watch because you can't quite look away.

In this episode, Jack and George take on Faces of Death (2026), a movie that sits in a weird place between horror, curiosity, and something a little harder to define. It's less about story and more about reaction. About what happens when a movie stops feeling like a movie.

We talk about:

• where the line is between horror and something more uncomfortable
• why "real" or "real-feeling" changes the way you experience what you're watching
• and whether a movie like this is trying to say anything… or just make you feel something

This one isn't fun in the usual way.

It's not even scary in the usual way.

It just stays with you… whether you want it to or not.

Same movie.

Different reactions.

Still not sure we should've watched this one

There are places that feel wrong.

And then there are places that are built that way.

In this episode, Jack and George take on They Will Kill You, a movie that traps its characters inside something bigger than they understand. A building, a system, a set of rules that don't quite make sense until it's already too late.

We talk about:

• was this an action movie or a horror movie?
• who was the actual bad guy of this movie?
• and, of course, how long would we survive in this scenario?

This one doesn't rush.

It just keeps tightening.

And the longer it goes, the less it feels like anyone is actually in control.
