In April of 2024, two podcasters went on Zoom to talk to the writer and director of the Blair Witch Project...a couple weeks later the interview went up (and sadly the podcasters did not disappear). Daniel Myrick joins us to speak of making the monumental horror film. We get details of filming in the woods and how they gave direction, when they knew it was a hit and the worldwide tour, and his current media production company Gang of Robots. Check out his new documentary Triple 7 releasing May 7th and listen to our interview in the corner of your basement.

We also talk about a really unique church, discuss guests who disappear, and more. Have a listen!

This episode will make your head spin, so grab a comfy piece of cardboard as we BREAK down this episode.
