Documenting our ranking of documentaries.
The old saying “life is stranger than fiction” could not be more true when it comes to many documentaries out there. The appeal of these types of films have really exploded in recent years and the technology of bringing in lost footage or remastering old footage has only gotten better, which has only improved the art form. They can also give the audience a fresh perspective on behind the scenes events of everyday life and make someone an expert on really niche topics (for like a week)! So join Tuong La and Documentary Film Buffs Katie Pagnucco (Learn Real Good), Vinny Francois (Improv College & Learn Real Good), and Howard Mitnick (Gateway Music) as they let you peak behind the curtain of their process of ranking Top 5 Documentary films!

Did… did that door just move?
Paranormal Activity did the unthinkable: made just about everyone afraid of their own homes. In a stroke of genius, the series strips the haunted house story to its core and makes it relatable. Everybody knows the feeling of hearing footsteps at night, or maybe seeing some lights flickering, or portals that transport you to the early 1990s– wait, what? The Paranormal Activity series starts firmly planted on a tripod but quickly eschews that for secret covens and time travelling camcorders. Yep.

Swapping a coherent plot for buckets of blood and gore, the Saw series leans on its shock value to distract from its overly convoluted and under-written continuity. “Want to play a game?” No. Now take your pig mask and get out of here.
