Movie of the Year: 1999The Grand Finale (Part 2)The Road to the FinalsThe bracket heats up in Part Two of the 1999 Movie of the Year Finale, and the Taste Buds—Mike, Ryan, and Greg—are back to call every twist, turn, and cinematic takedown. The stakes are higher, the drama is bigger, and the films are fighting harder than ever for a shot at the crown.The Matchups: Semi-Final ShowdownsOnly four films remain, and the battles are fierce:Election vs. The Blair Witch Project – Tracy Flick's cutthroat ambition goes head-to-head with supernatural terror in the woods. It's satire vs. found footage, politics vs. paranoia.The Limey vs. The Green Mile – Steven Soderbergh's stylish revenge story steps into the ring with Frank Darabont's heartbreaking prison epic. Vengeance clashes with miracles, grit with grace.The Taste Buds don't just break down the movies—they hype them up like a championship bout, with every argument landing like a body slam.Special Awards: Comedic Performance, On-Screen Duo & Biggest ShitheadAs if the semi-finals weren't enough, the Taste Buds also reveal the winners of three special 1999 honors:Best Comedic PerformanceBest On-Screen DuoBiggest ShitheadThe nominees are under wraps, but the winners will spark laughs, debates, and maybe even outrage.Conclusion: The Fight Isn't Over YetThe road to the 1999 Movie of the Year crown gets narrower, but the drama only intensifies. Will Election's political claws cut down the terror of The Blair Witch Project? Can The Limey's revenge stand tall against The Green Mile's miracles?

Fra mænd i søer, til mænd i dine drømme, til kvinder ude i skoven - eller er hun nu også det? Der er ikke det sted, døden ikke hjemsøger en, når gyserfranchisefilm lurer i alle afkroge og bare venter på at sætte tænderne i én - igen og igen. Gysergenren er berygtet for at presse alle de penge de kan ud af et godt blodbad, og sjældent gerne vil afslutte det igen. Da efteråret officielt har taget over studiet, går Nosferatu netop dette fænomen i sømmene, i jagten på at finde ud af hvad der egentlig gør, at en franchise fungerer - og når den ikke gør. Der snakkes om og spoiles "Friday the 13th," "A Nightmare on Elm Street," og "The Blair Witch Project" franchisefilmene. Værter: Niels Otto Olsen Relsted, Martha Sofie Wallstrøm og Lennon Dikov

1999 was a great year for movies. Almost too great. It didn't help that I found myself so busy with work that my focus on film couldn't be what it used to be. So while I am a big fan of “The Iron Giant,” I was also one of those people who didn't go to see it in the theater and contributed to its “flop” status. That summer was stacked with films like “The Sixth Sense” and “The Blair Witch Project,” and it was easy for something quieter and more thoughtful to get lost. While that is bad, the good news is that I was also one of the people who took to it on home video and picked it up on DVD as soon as it was available. I can still remember watching it for the first time at home and being floored by how much heart it had. I start the episode talking about my experiences with the film before moving onto the film itself. I discuss the people who made the film, its source material, other adaptations, the people who lent their voices to the film, its reception, music, and much more. It's worth noting that the director, Brad Bird, would later go on to make “The Incredibles” and “Ratatouille,” which shows just how much talent was already on display in this debut. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. had no idea how to market the film at the time, which didn't help its chances at the box office. The Iron Giant has become a cult hit and is well loved, but it's not enough. A surprising number of people have never seen the film, and I think that's a shame. It's a thoughtful film, filled with wonder and spectacle, that will capture the imagination of kids and adults alike. Its story of fear, empathy, and the power of choice feels even more relevant today. So if you haven't seen it, prepare to fall in love with a giant robot.

What's happening, folks? Welcome back to the podcast. This week, we dive into one of the most legendary—and controversial—films in horror history: The Blair Witch Project. I'm joined by Rikki Tikki Timber, as we explore how this micro-budget indie shocked audiences, pioneered the found-footage style, and redefined horror marketing with viral websites, fake missing posters, and whispered rumors that it was all real. We'll break down the terrifying plot, from Heather, Mike, and Josh's descent into paranoia in the Black Hills Forest to THAT chilling final shot. We'll also discuss the film's cultural impact, its role in sparking a found-footage boom (*Paranormal Activity, REC, Cloverfield*), and the recent controversy around the original cast's lack of fair compensation despite the franchise's massive success.

Caleb and Charles watch 1999's The Blair Witch Project—plus The Curse of the Blair Witch and Sticks and Stones: Investigating the Blair Witch—and chat forced oming, getting knocked off a bike with a plastic axe, and getting scared by an old VHS tape.

summer of horror 2025!

Available HERE. Blockbuster box office. Critical acclaim and Oscars recognition. From Get Out and M3GAN to The Substance and Sinners, the horror genre is enjoying a glorious–and gory–golden age. Screaming and Conjuring details the films and frights that led to this extraordinary renaissance, from the release of the groundbreaking Scream in 1996 to the arrival of 2013's The Conjuring, which spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise. Written by entertainment journalist Clark Collis (author of You've Got Red on You: How Shaun of the Dead Was Brought to Life), this exhaustively researched book is the first in-depth examination of a remarkably fertile and influential time for big screen horror. Wes Craven's Scream was followed by a flood of classic terror tales such as The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, Final Destination, The Others, Pan's Labyrinth, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Saw, Hostel, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious. This comprehensive history covers the often difficult and tortuous making of all these films (and many more), giving readers the exclusive lowdown on productions which were often as intense as the horrifying sights that ended up on screen. Screaming and Conjuring features recollections from a host of genre icons, including actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Neve Campbell, directors Eli Roth and Sam Raimi, and legendary makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero. The book also includes 200 production stills, film posters, and rarely seen images. Blood. Sweat. Tears. More blood. Clark Collis takes you behind the scenes, and the scares, with this fascinating history of the modern horror movie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Of all the flavors of horror, few are as dreadful as that of being lost in the wilderness. In this episode, JF and Phil revisit The Blair Witch Project, the classic 1999 found-footage film that inspired a thousand imitators. What makes this film so gripping, they argue, is the way it lingers over the subtle stages of disorientation in a hostile place, from blithe denial to devastating gnosis. The Blair Witch Project isn't a ghost story so much as a work of cosmic horror. Ultimately, the woods themselves—vast, indifferent, inescapable—are the monster. Support Weird Studies on Patreon.

It's been nearly 30 years since The Blair Witch Project (1999) terrorized film audiences with the inaugural "found footage" film. The film's logline: Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.The Blair Witch Project was heavily marketed as a true story, employing a unique viral marketing campaign to blur the lines between fiction and reality. This strategy included a fake documentary on the Sci-Fi channel, fake missing person flyers, a website with fabricated evidence, and fake police reports. Fortunately, no actors were murdered or maimed in the making of the film. One of the "survivors" joins us on this episode -- actor Michael C. Williams.Also joining us is fellow thespian, filmmaker, nature wanderlust and sometimes co-host, Cuyle Carvin.$10 Afraid of Nothing merch - and more - at the Afraid of Nothing Shopify store.

Movie of the Year: 1999The Sixth Sense (feat. Jay Sherer!)Chilling Classics and Narrative Genius in The Sixth SenseIn this spine-tingling episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds turn their third eyes toward M. Night Shyamalan's unforgettable thriller, The Sixth Sense. Released in 1999, this film didn't just scare audiences—it redefined what moviegoers expected from psychological thrillers and suspenseful ghost stories. The Taste Buds examine what made The Sixth Sense an instant classic and how it continues to haunt and inspire audiences to this day.The Sixth Sense's Twist Ending: Spoiler Alert (Sort Of)You know the twist—but how did we get there? The Taste Buds break down the legendary ending of The Sixth Sense, discussing how Shyamalan masterfully planted clues throughout the film. This segment explores how the reveal reshaped the entire narrative, altered how we engage with movies, and elevated twist endings to a pop culture staple. It's one of the most talked-about twist endings in cinematic history, and for good reason.Death and Horror in The Sixth Sense: What Scares Us MostAt its core, The Sixth Sense is a meditation on death, grief, and unresolved trauma. The Taste Buds explore how the film uses horror to probe deeper emotional truths, crafting scares not from jump cuts alone, but from the deeply human fear of being unseen and unheard. This is horror with heart—and it hits hard, echoing themes found in other 1999 horror films like The Blair Witch Project.The Sixth Sense Performances: Toni Collette Deserved an OscarBeyond its eerie mood and smart script, The Sixth Sense shines thanks to stunning performances. Haley Joel Osment delivers one of the most iconic child performances in movie history, and Bruce Willis brings a quiet depth to a role that surprises in more ways than one. The Taste Buds also spotlight Toni Collette's heartbreaking turn as a mother grappling with the unknown. The performances anchor the film's emotional weight and elevate the ghost story to something transcendent.Guest Panelist Jay Sherer: Talking Story with The Story GeeksThis week's episode features special guest Jay Sherer, host of The Story Geeks Podcast. Jay brings his storytelling expertise and love for genre film to help unpack why The Sixth Sense is more than just a horror movie—it's a masterclass in character, pacing, and emotional resonance.

We mention our friend Tim Pool and dive into the setup for the Wheel of Doom, which is loaded with 60 videos today—potentially a record! We're aiming to beat our all-time high score of 9,300 points. Social Media and Livestream Prep: Discussing the platforms we're streaming on and the excitement of going live. Tim Pool and Comedy Connections: Mentioning a conversation with Tim Pool about Stephen Colbert and how Sam stepped in when Dave Smith wasn't available. Wheel of Doom Setup: Hyping up the wheel with 60 videos and our goal to hit a high score. 0:15:00 - 0:30:00 - The Blair Witch Project: A Psychological Experiment? The first spin lands on a video about The Blair Witch Project, revealing its production as a real-life psychological experiment. We dive into how the filmmakers pushed actors to their limits with minimal scripting, GPS coordinates, and intentional deprivation to capture genuine fear. This sparks a discussion about the ethics of such filmmaking and its impact on the found footage genre. Blair Witch's Unconventional Filming: Actors were left in the woods, sleep-deprived, and scared by directors to elicit real reactions. Ethical Debate: Was this genius or borderline torture? We ponder if we'd sign up for such a project. Cultural Impact: The film's viral marketing and low-budget success (made for $60,000, grossed $250 million) redefined horror. 0:30:00 - 0:45:00 - Flat Earth Theories and the Amazon River The wheel spins to a video claiming the Amazon River's flow challenges the globe Earth model, suggesting a flat plane of existence. We react with a mix of intrigue and skepticism, noting the video's disclaimer that it's for “entertainment purposes only.” This leads to a broader discussion about conspiracy theories and their presentation online. Amazon River and Flat Earth: The video argues the river's unidirectional flow defies a globe's curvature, implying a flat Earth. Skepticism and Cop-Outs: We criticize the “entertainment only” disclaimer as a way to dodge accountability. Conspiracy Culture: Reflecting on how platforms like TikTok shape the spread of such theories. 0:45:00 - 1:00:00 - The Matrix and Brain Symbolism Another spin brings us to a video linking The Matrix to brain science, suggesting Neo's journey represents moving from the reptilian brain to the neocortex. We explore this metaphor for consciousness and control, touching on Freemasonry and the film's deeper meanings. We also briefly discuss movie recommendations for Alistair Crowley, favoring Fantastic Four over the new Superman. Matrix Symbolism: Neo's plug-in at the neck symbolizes the reptilian brain, while his awakening reflects the neocortex and higher consciousness. Freemasonry Connection: The video ties brain regions to Masonic degrees, sparking curiosity about hidden meanings. Movie Talk: We debate Superman's slapstick tone versus Fantastic Four's stronger reception. 1:00:00 - 1:15:00 - Sam's Corner: Funny and Emotional Clips In Sam's Corner, we share handpicked videos, starting with a hilarious clip of a kid caught with a hooker, claiming he's going to marry her to dodge trouble. We then get emotional watching a tribute to Hulk Hogan, reflecting on his legacy despite past controversies, including a fake voiceover clip of him making offensive remarks. Hooker Mishap: A kid's desperate excuse that he's marrying a hooker cracks us up. Hulk Hogan Tribute: A heartfelt video from The Rock about Hogan's wrestling legacy, contrasted with a fake clip highlighting his controversial past. Nostalgia and Wrestling: We reminisce about our love for pro wrestling and Hogan's iconic moves. 1:15:00 - 1:34:52 - Conspiracy Deep Dive and Bizarre News The final segment is a whirlwind of conspiracy and oddities. We discuss a video linking Sabrina Carpenter to occult symbolism in Rosemary's Baby and Eyes Wide Shut, a creepy ad for glowing smart implants, and a disturbing story about a serial butt sniffer arrested in California. We wrap up with plugs for our projects and a nod to the Doomers. Sabrina Carpenter Conspiracy: Connections to Lucifer quotes, Rosemary's Baby fonts, and Eyes Wide Shut suggest Hollywood occult ties. Smart Implants: A futuristic ad for glowing implants raises cyborg concerns, with a humorous take on glowing body parts. Serial Butt Sniffer: A repeat offender's arrests at Walmart and Nordstrom spark a mix of humor and unease about bizarre crimes.

I was 20 years old when I saw The Blair Witch Project in the theater, and did it creep me out. That final shot of Mike standing in the corner remains just as chilling today as it did just over 25 years ago. It's one of the most iconic final shots in modern and found-footage horror. What an honor and pleasure to sit down with Michael C. Williams and to learn everything about his role and one of my all-time favorite found-footage movies. Michael was chosen to play that role and he f**king delivered flawlessly. There are no words on how I can express my undying gratitude for this phenomenal actor. I am very grateful that we had this opportunity and hopefully one day I will get Joshua Leonard on the shows. Unfortunately, Heather has already expressed that she doesn't do interviews anymore and I respect her wishes. With that being said, this interview in my opinion is perfect. There's nothing I would change about what just happened. In the end, Michael does say his famous ‘Map' line for me, and it is glorious. Ensure to check out Michael in his newest role as ‘Pete' in the horror/thriller “Ghost Game” (2024) now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Fandango, and Pluto TV.

Movie of the Year: 1999Run Lola Run (feat. Keith Phipps!)Why Run Lola Run Still Speeds AheadIn this high-octane episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds tackle Tom Tykwer's groundbreaking film Run Lola Run, one of the most iconic international films of 1999. Through frenetic pacing, looping timelines, and multimedia storytelling, Run Lola Run challenged narrative norms and redefined cinematic structure for a generation.Joined by guest film critic Keith Phipps, co-host of Your Next Picture Show, the panel examines what makes Run Lola Run a modern classic. They also revisit horror history in a bonus segment about The Blair Witch Project.Lola: Run Lola Run's Unstoppable HeroineFranka Potente's Lola is a force of nature. With her fire-red hair and relentless sprint through Berlin, she embodies urgency, love, and power. The Taste Buds explore Lola's role as more than just a protagonist—she's a symbol of agency, chance, and emotional propulsion. Why does Lola resonate so deeply with audiences 25 years later?Time, Destiny, and Choice in Run Lola RunAt the core of Run Lola Run is a meditation on fate, free will, and chaos theory. Through its triptych structure—three timelines with radically different outcomes—Run Lola Run asks: what if one second could change everything? The Taste Buds dissect how the film explores the butterfly effect, choice vs. destiny, and the role of memory in shaping the future.Multimedia Mayhem: The Visual Language of Run Lola RunThis movie was ahead of its time in visual storytelling. Tykwer fuses live-action footage, flash animation, time-lapse photography, and techno music into a pulse-pounding montage. The panel breaks down how the film's use of multimedia created a hyper-stylized, immersive experience that continues to influence filmmakers today.Guest Panelist: Keith Phipps from Your Next Picture ShowFilm critic and podcast host Keith Phipps joins the Taste Buds to bring his expertise on European cinema, genre-bending narratives, and 1999's cinematic landscape. As a founding editor of The A.V. Club and co-host of Your Next Picture Show, Keith provides sharp context and deep analysis that elevate the episode's exploration of Run Lola Run.Bonus Segment: The Blair Witch Project and Found Footage InnovationIn a special bonus segment, the Taste Buds revisit another 1999 cultural landmark: The Blair Witch Project. They discuss the film's revolutionary use of found footage, viral marketing, and psychological horror. How did this minimalist thriller terrify a generation and launch a new genre?

Better grab something to write with before you hit play on this one. In this extra-long episode, we dive into a variety of horror sub-genres and each pick a title that we think defines that category.

To uncover the truth behind the infamous Belvedere Hotel, an all-nude, men-only boarding house perched just beyond the bounds of good judgment. What begins as an overnight getaway quickly spirals into blackouts at drag brunch, fighting for our lives in the Meat Rack, and late-night cruising that felt more like The Blair Witch Project than a vacation.

Is this a funny found footage film, a scary one, or both? On this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers is joined by director/co-writer Max Tzannes, co-writer Jacob Souza, and editor/cinematographer David San Miguel to discuss Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project — a meta mockumentary horror comedy produced by the Radio Silence team behind Scream, Abigail and Ready or Not — that blurs the line between behind-the-scenes chaos and real-life terror. Inspired by The Blair Witch Project, Spinal Tap, and American Movie, the film follows a group of ragtag indie filmmakers trying to make a Bigfoot movie... but something supernatural and sinister might actually be lurking in the woods. Produced by Tyler Friesen with Radio Silence (Scream, Scream VI), Found Footage is both a love letter and a hilarious jab at DIY horror and cryptid culture. We get into the real story behind the film, the Patterson-Gimlin influence, indie horror pitfalls, and whether this crew accidentally stumbled into a real found footage nightmare.
