We can tell you're a filmmaker, bro (Butterfly Kisses 2018 Review)
Episode 251
Sunday, 18 January, 2026
December was a rough month off-mic, fighting illness and holiday chaos, but we’re back now to finally ask: What if the found footage was real…and the scariest thing wasn’t the monster, but the filmmaker? This week, we’re digging into Butterfly Kisses (2018), Erik Kristopher Myers’ razor-sharp found footage deconstruction that asks a deeply uncomfortable question: how far will an artist go to be believed? The film follows Gavin York, a documentarian who stumbles upon a box of tapes left behind by two film students investigating an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. What starts as a forgotten student project quickly spirals into obsession, as Gavin sets out to “prove” the footage is authentic—dragging his own film crew (and his sanity) down with him. Part found footage, part academic critique, Butterfly Kisses plays in the same sandbox as The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and The Last Exorcism, then calmly turns to the camera and asks whether we actually want these stories to be true. It’s less about jump scares and more about ego, credibility, and the uniquely modern horror of needing proof at any cost. Found footage skeptics welcome. Film nerds encouraged. Peeping Tom is watching either way. We also talk about hockey, Primate, and Strange Harvest. We’re girls of simple taste. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!
