The Blair Witch Mockumentary Deep Dive

This was already posted to our YouTube, but why not post it to the main feed? Here, we discuss the three "documentaries" released in conjunction with 1999's The Blair Witch Project: The Curse of the Blair Witch, Sticks and Stones, and The Burkittsville 7. 

Martin (1977) and The Alligator People (1959)

Patrick is joined by Kevin to discuss George A. Romero's underrated masterpiece in Martin (with additional talk on The Amusement Park), and a fascinating foray into the world of '50s sci-fi B-movies with The Alligator People. 

Face/Off (1997) and The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Patrick is joined by Feck to make fun of John Travolta, discuss the somewhat pointless Joe Bob Briggs cameo, and cover the early internet phenomenon that is The Blair Witch Project. 

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and Death Wish (1974)

Josh returns to discuss yet another Halloween film and a seminal "white flight" film that doubles as a pioneer in grandpa action movies in Death Wish

Planet of the Apes (1968) and The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)

Journey with Patrick and repeat guest Sean to the Forbidden Zone desert of the Planet of the Apes, and the far more depressing and terrifying rural Wisconsin locales of The Giant Spider Invasion.

The Delta Force (1986) and Young Rebels (1989)

Patrick is joined by Jared McNett to discuss a couple of riproaring '80s action movies made by immigrant filmmakers

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Hell Fest (2018)

This is a bit of a different episode here, as Patrick is joined by Hunter S. Thompson scholar John Brick to discuss the film based on Thompson's work as well as his background and personal life. Since recording this, Dr. Brick has completed his PhD. And then there's also Hell Fest, a fun modern slasher movie set in a Halloween amusement park. 

Trailer: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Hell Fest (2018)

Patrick is joined by a Hunter S. Thompson scholar to discuss a cult film based on his most famous work, and a horror movie that's potentially a cult film in the making.
