  #604: Slenderman So Hot Right Now (Documentary Grab Bag)

  Sep 1, 202647 min

  0:00 - REPRIMAND - “Beware the Slenderman” (2017). On a rewatch of this doc, plus a reading of Kathleen Hale’s book, I now believe this doc is just as slimy and opportunistic as the narrative horror films produced around the time of the stabbing, even though it acted as if it were above such things. 16:51 - RECOMMENDATION - “An Innocent Man” (2018). Get ready to be enraged. 25:51 - RECOMMENDATION - “Churchill at War” (2024). More extended re-enactments in documentaries, please! 36:22 - RECOMMENDATION - “Secret Mall Apartment” (2024). ----- Executive Producers: Conner Dempsey • Dustin Weldon Theme Music by Dustin Weldon Produced & Engineered by Conner Dempsey Powered by Zoom, QuickTime, Adobe Audition, & Adobe Premiere Pro Special Thanks to Anchor FM (or “Spotify for Podcasters”, whatever) FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
