The Blair Witch Project
The gang tackles the godfather of all found footage horror films: 1999's THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. How does the film hold up after 15 years? And what do we do with found footage as a horror genre?
Message: “The Problem with the Virtuous Hero”
Bryne and JR. recap some of our favorite films of a very good year, then dive into a couple that signal a shift in how we are telling stories as a culture. The Big Short, Sicario and Netflix’ Making a Murderer demonstrate an important shift away from the traditional virtue narrative Americans like so much toward more complicated, complex and honest storytelling. We evaluate this shift, and why we are so excited for it.
