Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show With David Letterman) have over 14,000 VHS tapes in their cluttered office in Brooklyn and will take viewers on a guided tour of their latest/greatest finds in this brand new Volume 11 show for 2026. Highlights include a psychotic dollar store salesman, a video catalog of frightening porcelain dolls, two wonderfully homemade Bigfoot videos and a new age “miracle” treatment from the 80s called “Psychic Surgery.”

Review from the Horror Press:

The preshow was a plethora of odd short films, nostalgic movie trailers, and vintage theater food ads. The first short film shown was the ABSOLUTELY insane Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. This short film, produced by then-senator Joe Biden, was presented by George H. W. and Barbara Bush. It was an anti-drug film that starred animated icons like Kermit, Alf, Garfield, Michelangelo (the worst Ninja Turtle they could pick), Bugs Bunny, Slimer, and a handful of others. Simply put, this was an absolute fever dream of an anti-drug ad, and worth the watch if you can track it down.

If you plan on going to one of the upcoming shows for the 20th anniversary of the Found Footage Festival and want to avoid spoilers, skip ahead! The opening video before Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher ran on stage was a live birth, followed by glowing[ly expensive] intros from Dolph Lundgren and Chuck Norris.

For those who worry that the show will be nothing but squirrels, have no fear as the show is just Mostly Squirrels. Celebrating 20 years of wonderful bullshit, the Found Footage Festival live show is a gut-busting, whipshit of all shitter bongers. One of my go-to sources for background noise is Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst, and this live show was almost like a live version of that but a thousand times funnier. (It should be noted that Nick and Joe were doing this long before RLM’s BotW.)

The show itself brought tears to my eyes. I genuinely cannot remember a time I laughed this hard. From news bloopers that aren’t in the myriad YouTube compilations, to the most chaotic Public Access shows, to backyard stuntmen, the Found Footage Festival covers a multitude of bases with videos that will appeal to every audience. My favorite video they presented was “Memorial Day 2000”. Nick and Joe prefaced the video as a redneck Lord of the Flies, and that introduction could not be more accurate.
