S2E3 - The Blair Witch Project (1999)

It's not exactly what one would call a masterpiece. In fact, it's kind of intentionally shitty and it succeeds in that. However, what The Blair Witch Project lacks in execution, it almost makes up for in style. Definitely the marketing was clever and the presentation was right, but with a plot so bare and the lack of any visible antagonist, how did it become such a sleeper hit? How did it become maybe the most successful found footage movie in history? Hopefully we answer some of those questions this week as we discuss the making of, the truth behind the lore, and just a little about the Bridgewater Triangle!
