Hit Factory

We recently joined our friends Forrest Miller and J. Andrew World on their livestream podcast Movie Night Extravaganza to revisit the 'The Blair Witch Project'.

In this audio of our livestream episode, we watch extensive media and interviews released near the film's 1999 Sundance and theatrical premieres, and expand upon some key points from our original 2020 episode, including the film's legacy as a vanguard of viral marketing and found-footage cinema, its appeal to a greater sense of millennial malaise and other concepts popularized by Adam Curtis's 'HyperNormalisation', and the intrinsic horror that lies in the origin stories of our nation's founding.

Listen to our original 2020 episode on The Blair Witch Project.
