The Blair Witch Project (1999) with George Daniel Lea and Elliot Chapman (Patreon)

My October odyssey through the Media Hauntological with erudite and enthusiastic pod-mates Elliot Chapman and George Daniel Lea continues and culminates with a consideration of 1999's terrifying, ominous, ineffable, and intensely freighted 'Found Footage' classic The Blair Witch Project, taking in digressions on The Terror, Stalker, Come and See, Salò, Cannibal Holocaust, Doctor Who, Peter Watkins, David Bowie, Baudrillard, Frederic Jameson, Lovecraft, and LeGuin.  

We had some technical problems at the start and poor old George was a bit runny of nose with a nasty cold (rather appropriate given that BWP features some of the most celebrated snot-shots in cinematic history) but I've worked my usual folk magic and made it so listenable your ears will love you for the rest of their lives, and maybe even of yours.

As ever, you're getting it in advance of non-payers... though possibly not that much in advance because, let's face it, this has to go up on the 31st.

There's a substantial off-cut from the end of this conversation which you'll get as a separate extra.
