    Flash Drive / Analog Horror - Finding photos and footage

    Ben and JD get nostalgic, again. It's almost like we've all be robbed of our futures by a neoliberal nightmare and the only refuge is in our pasts. This time JD talks about creepypasta involving a flash drive containing family photos and the unintended consequences of messing around with a random flash drive. Ben gives an overview of analog horror, an aesthetic and storytelling mode that's become the dominant form of online horror.
