Summary
Troy and Roger wade into murky waters with 2012's The Bay , a found footage eco-horror gem that’s equal parts gross-out and gut-punch. They dive into the film’s creepy realism, squirm-inducing body horror, and surprisingly sharp political bite. From parasitic isopods to a town-wide meltdown, the guys unpack how the chaos unfold, and how the mayor fumbles literally everything. They chat about the film’s unique structure, emotional resonance, and a few moments that maybe needed another take. Despite a slightly soggy ending, Roger and Troy agree that The Bay manages to crawl under your skin and stay there. It’s disgusting, disturbing, and just grounded enough to feel way too possible.
