Join returning AC Fest guests Joe Pickett (Found Footage Fest), Scott Miller (Strange Tapes Zine), and Justin Beahm (Reverend Entertainment) as they take audiences on a state-by-state road trip through the heartland, uncovering everything from local TV oddities and homemade commercials to regional celebrities, forgotten instructional videos, and unexpected pop culture connections. Each host shares favorite clips from their own collection, along with the stories behind the tapes, the people who made them, and the adventures of tracking them down.
