Commentary | Blair Witch (Patreon)

Tell me where you are, Lane, James, Peter, etc!!!

Love it or hate it, The Blair Witch Project is memorable. Be it because it's one of the first found footage movies, because it never shows the witch, or because of Heather's snot, everyone can recognize and/or mimic it immediately.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for its follow-ups, but for some reason all three are worth watching if for nothing else than to see a series of films with wildly different styles and qualities set in the same universe.

For this "trilogy" of sorts, I am joined by Mike & J of We Watched A Movie! If you don't know em already, prepare to have some new favorite YouTubers to add to your sub box.

Somehow Blair Witch avoids every single ounce of potential it has in favor of rehashing the original, making zero choices, and being forgotten immediately. Not what I would have done, but to each his own!

Also I totally missed the shot of the alien invasion (??) while looking up the writer's tweet about the monster (????), but I do want to follow up to confirm that shot I claimed didn't make it into the movie is, in fact, in the movie. FIVE STARS!!!

Hope you had as much fun with these tracks as we did! Recording with Mike & J was some of the most fun I had all year and I can't wait to meet up with em again. Thank you for joining us!
