About this episode

Eryka and Jackie discuss the disturbing found-footage horror film The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

This week, Eryka and Jackie press play on one of the grimiest, most “should we be watching this?” found-footage nightmares ever made… The Poughkeepsie Tapes . 🗃️ What starts as a box of police evidence turns into hours of a serial killer’s home movies — because apparently this guy treated abduction like a film school project. It’s awkward, disturbing, and feels way too real… like you accidentally discovered something you were never meant to see. So grab your coffee (or something stronger) and hang out with the ladies as they unpack the chaos, the creep factor, and the “NOPE” moments that made them want to bleach their eyeballs. Static on the screen, terror in the shadows, and enough nightmare fuel to haunt you for weeks — welcome to the evidence locker.
