Found Footage Festival's VHS Circus

About This Movie

So, Found Footage Festival's VHS Circus is like a wild ride through the bizarre corners of VHS culture. Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, the ringleaders, bring their unique charm and wit as they showcase some truly oddball finds. You get to see a cringeworthy clown makeup tutorial and a 1991 Cabbage Patch Kids convention, which is just a trip down memory lane for those of us who grew up in that era. The pacing feels like you're at a live show, with each segment kind of blending into this delightful chaos. It’s not just a collection of clips but a celebration of nostalgia and the quirky side of retro video culture, and you can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into their selections.

This title is interesting for collectors due to its unique approach to the VHS format, blending live performance with found footage. The scarcity of original VHS releases from the 90s means this kind of showcase captures a fleeting moment in pop culture that many enthusiasts seek. Plus, the novelty factor of items like clown makeup tutorials and Cabbage Patch Kids conventions adds to its collectible allure, making it a conversation piece for any VHS aficionado.
