In this episode, we break down why 1999 is often called the best year for movies. From huge box office hits like The Phantom Menace, Toy Story 2, and The Sixth Sense to era-defining cult classics and critical darlings like Fight Club, Magnolia, Office Space, The Blair Witch Project, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. We look at what made the late-90s Hollywood pipeline so bold, how these films shaped modern filmmaking, and whether any year since has matched the sheer variety, risk-taking, and cultural impact of movies released in 1999.Chapters:00:00 Intro: why 1999 was an insane time00:46 Episode roadmap01:28 Biggest blockbusters list + what it says about the era04:23 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace07:18 The Sixth Sense 09:01 Toy Story 210:50 Quick hits: Tarzan / The Mummy / Notting Hill / Austin Powers12:37 Oscars & award talk (American Beauty, Boys Don't Cry, The Green Mile)14:39 Magnolia18:05 The Blair Witch Project20:58 Office Space24:15 Fight Club25:41 The Talented Mr. Ripley27:46 Cruel Intentions + American Pie29:06 Election29:37 Editor note: Why Eyes Wide Shut isn't here30:00 Audition (Japan)31:33 Bollywood picks 36:51 Wrap-up + outroFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twopleasepodFollow us on X:https://x.com/TwoPleasePodFight Club:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOFvzFHQ9hI&t=705s&pp=ygUdZmlnaHQgY2x1YiB0d28gcGxlYXNlIHBvZGNhc3Q%3DThe Matrix:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK5jDv4G2eU&t=238s&pp=ygUddGhlIG1hdHJpeCB0d28gcGxlYXNlIHBvZGNhc3Q%3D

In 1992, seven years before the Blair Witch Project, the BBC aired a fictional ghost-hunting program – but didn't tell the British viewing audience that it was all staged. The show caused a real-life panic over the paranormal events that it depicted. Jordan and Stefan visit this haunted house for the first time – will they also lose their minds with fear? Also, boy is there a lot of talk about gloryholes, for mostly very innocent reasons.

Andy and Mike are back and once again sticking to their mandate of talking about overlooked Batman stories. This time out they present the first part of a two part look at Bat books from the early 2000s that definitely fit that description. Before he revamped Captain America and brought Bucky back from the dead, writer Ed Brubaker worked on Batman. Andy picked out three issues for the guys to talk about and that's exactly what they did because a podcast where the hosts don't say anything would be rather boring. First up is Batman #584, which is a Blair Witch Project inspired tale where two filmmakers come to Gotham to prove that Batman is real because this was still the era where Batman was thought to be an urban legend. Next up is Batman #586, which features the Penguin's flight of fancy as he imagines what it would look be like if he killed the Batman. Finally, there's Batman #598, which is a Christmas story featuring a villain named Klaus who can tell if you've been naughty or nice.  There's also the usual number of tangents and Mike trying to make Andy laugh. But you probably knew that already. Andy and Mike want your feedback on this episode so they can read it on an upcoming show!  You even have options in how you leave your feedback.  The most direct way is to leave a comment right here on the site.  You can also send all questions, concerns, fears and trepidations to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com.  Then there's the Facebook page, where you can also leave a Batman related question for Andy and Mike to answer at the beginning of the show.  If you talk about this show on the social medias please include a #overlookeddk so the guys know where to find it. The opening theme for the show is Superhero Intro by Stringer Bell and taken from the royalty free site Pixma Bay. Next Time: The second of two episodes talking about Batman in the early 2000s! Andy and Mike talk about three Batman stories written by Greg Rucka!

Arrivato nelle nostre sale con un po' di ritardo, Shelby Oaks racconta la storia di una donna che non si è rassegnata alla scomparsa della sorella, membro di un gruppo di youtuber con un canale dedicato all'esplorazione di luoghi abbandonati e potenzialmente infestati.L'ultima tappa del gruppo è stata proprio la cittadina abbandonata di Shelby Oaks, che sembra ancora nascondere presenze minacciose e soprannaturali, fra le mura fatiscenti.Creata da Stuckmann, uno degli Youtuber più popolari in patria, questa pellicola però non si discosta minimamente dalle atmosfere già viste in altri film più celebri e originali, vedi Blair Witch Project o Paranormal Activity. C'è una buona regia, una discreta performance degli attori, ma tutto sa di già visto e almeno per il sottoscritto, la paura latita.Ad ogni modo, molto meglio di altri prodotti di generi moderni. Può risultare un intrattenimento senza pensieri, con qualche momento di interesse, perché no!

This week Jun and Daniel dive deep into a media review of "The Wailing" (곡성), the critically acclaimed 2016 Korean horror film directed by Na Hong-jin. They begin by unpacking the clever wordplay behind the Korean title—"Gokseong" doubles as both the name of the real Korean city where the film is set and the Chinese character meaning "wailing." The hosts explore the film's complex narrative structure, debating whether the mysterious Japanese man is truly a demon or just an unfortunate scapegoat, analyzing the deacon character's true motivations, and discussing the tragic ending where the protagonist's choices lead to devastating consequences. They examine the film's commentary on faith, superstition, and mob mentality, while also touching on the masterful cinematography, the haunting shaman ritual scene, and the unforgettable performances.If you're interested in understanding why this film is considered one of Korea's most important horror achievements, how Korean shamanism and religious syncretism create the story's ambiguity, why the film's open-ended interpretation makes it endlessly rewatchable, or Daniel's instant regret watching a horror film late at night in the dark, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This episode also features discussion about recognizing famous Korean actors (including Hwang Jung-min, one of Korea's top movie stars), comparisons to The Blair Witch Project, and reflections on how the film uses the real city of Gokseong as its setting.As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.

Horror movies are big business: this year, they've accounted for more ticket sales in the U.S. than comedies and dramas combined, bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office. And the phenomenon goes beyond a hunger for cheap thrills and slasher flicks; artists have been using horror to explore deep-seated communal and personal anxieties for centuries. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz, along with the New Yorker culture editor Alex Barasch, use three contemporary entries—“The Babadook,” “Saint Maud,” and “Weapons”—to illustrate the inventive filmmaking and sharp social commentary that have become hallmarks of modern horror. “In the past, the horror would be something external that's disrupting a previously idyllic town or life. Now there's a lot more of: the bad thing has already happened to you,” Barasch says. “You already have a trauma at the beginning of the film—or even before the film begins—and then that is eating you from the inside, or trying to kill you, and you have to grapple with that.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The Babadook” (2014)“Rosemary's Baby” (1968)“Scream with Me,” by Eleanor Johnson“Hereditary” (2018)“The Substance” (2024)“Saint Maud” (2020)The “Saw” franchise (2004—)“The Exorcist” (1973)“The Case Against the Trauma Plot,” by Parul Sehgal (The New Yorker)“Weapons” (2025)“Barbarian” (2022) “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974)“Get Out” (2017)“Alien” (1979)“The Blair Witch Project” (1999)“Talk to Me” (2022)New episodes drop every Thursday.

We're joined by our friend and horror archivist Steven from After Hrs Video to help us celebrate our 100th episode of The Average Reviews! And what better way to mark a milestone than by getting lost in the woods with one of the most iconic horror films of the last 30 years: The Blair Witch Project. Released in 1999 and shot on a shoestring budget, The Blair Witch Project changed the horror landscape forever. With its shaky cam, raw performances, and groundbreaking viral marketing campaign, it blurred the lines between fiction and reality—and terrified audiences into thinking it might just be real.

Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams are the filmmakers behind Dream Eater, a Lovecraft-inspired found-footage horror film shot on a shoestring budget in a remote Quebec cottage.When their original project lost funding, they rebuilt it from scratch, turning their setbacks into a creative advantage and crafting an intimate, atmospheric story about dreams, dread, and an unraveling relationship.The movie may be called Dream Eater, but the filmmakers' story is a dream come true; powered by positive word of mouth and support from the online horror community, Dream Eater found a passionate audience and ultimately caught the attention of Eli Roth, who acquired the film and released it under his new horror production banner, The Horror Section.I really loved this interview, I connected with the filmmakers personally and found them to be very cool and inspiring because this story is very much in line with those of The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity in terms of the ingenuity and tenacity among filmmakers who adapt and adapt and don't take no for an answer and get their movies made regardless of anything and ultimately is what this podcast is about.Key TakeawaysTransmutation: Turn limitations into opportunity and never submit to defeat.The creators of Dream Eater originally had a larger-scale, higher-budget project in motion — until the funding fell through. Rather than throw their hands up and walk away, they went back to the drawing board and scaled their concept into something they could afford to shoot. Casting actors was out of reach due to the demanding conditions, so they cast themselves.There's a massive lesson here in adaptability: as a filmmaker, you have to play the hand you're dealt and make the movie you can make when you can make it. Hopefully, the next one has a bigger budget — but regardless of what you're working with, the movie you can make now will be way better than no movie at all.Micro crews need macro output.An eight-person team meant every crew member wore multiple hats. When hiring for crew, it's common for crew members to expect to stay in their lanes — and that's completely understandable particularly in the context of union filmmaking. But on a micro-budget production, the mindset of “that's not really my job” can be radioactive. Your crew needs to be down for the chaos you're about to unleash.But of course, be fair and be reasonable; pay what you can — either in cash or points — but take the time to find a crew that's truly in it with you and willing to wear multiple hats. But here's the caveat, as the filmmaker, you must always be the hardest-working person on set.Find your audience where they already are.The Dream Eater team built buzz through festivals and the online horror community, most notably TikTok's HorrorTok — a vibrant ecosystem of horror influencers and fans. Thanks to a few key TikTok creators, buzz about the film went viral, which got the attention of Eli Roth.When promoting a film, it's essential to know, understand, and ideally befriend the horror community. HorrorTok played a major role in the success of Dream Eater, and it's a reminder that one of the most effective ways to support your art is by authentically engaging with the people who love the genre as much as you do. Understanding marketing is crucial — but connection is everything.Show NotesMovies and Works MentionedDream EaterAsleep (original concept)The Nightmare (Rodney Ascher documentary)DagonIn the Mouth of MadnessThe Blair Witch ProjectEvil...

A must-add for any Halloween watchlist: The Blair Witch Project (1999) gets the full Cutting Deep into Horror treatment with hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi, diving into why this low-budget phenomenon rewired horror audiences and turbo-charged found-footage storytelling. We unpack its unsettling folklore, improvisational performances, and the way fear, survival, and group dynamics collapse in the Burkittsville woods. Directed by Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sánchez, this cult landmark still crawls under the skin more than two decades later.   Inside this episodeInto the Woods — Setting the stage: Burkittsville mythos and mood. The Horror of Found Footage — Why vérité camera work amplifies dread. The Blair Witch Legacy — How a micro-budget classic changed horror. Early Found-Footage Roots — What came before—and what Blair perfected. Rustin Parr & Local Lore — Myth-building that feels dangerously real. The Disappearing Map → The House in the Woods → Final Confrontation — Beat-by-beat tension to that chilling last image. Theories & Interpretations — Time loops, ritual hints, and ambiguous terror. Where to Watch:Amazon (rent/buy): https://www.amazon.com/Blair-Witch-Project-Heather-Donahue/dp/B000KDZSA4Apple TV (rent/buy): https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/the-blair-witch-project/umc.cmc.4gek5q98zy7f5kjvm1ju6919fFandango at Home (rent/buy): https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/The-Blair-Witch-Project/7045

Ein Reigen im Sonnenuntergang, ein Steinkreis auf der Waldlichtung, Blumen im Haar, das Ritual beginnt. Seit einigen Jahren beschreibt "Folk-Horror" unseren Grusel vor dem Archaischen. Ist die Natur belebt? Ist die Kultur oppressiv? Kommt das Unterdrückte zurück? Können uns Aufklärung und Vernunft hier draußen nicht mehr helfen? In dieser Genre-Folge sprechen Christian, Christoph und Clara Atlanta über "Folk-Horror" anhand von "Wicker Man", "Kwaidan" & "Blair Witch Project" und fragen sich, was genau eigentlich das Gruselige an der Folklore ist. Außerdem geht es um "Witchfinder General", "Blood on Satan's Claw", "Häxan", "Midsommar", "The Witch", "Longlegs" und "Weapons".

This week we're grabbing our video cameras and heading into the woods of Burkittsville for the groundbreaking found-footage horror film, The Blair Witch Project! We'll talk about how this low-budget 1999 chiller terrified a generation, the genius of its minimalist marketing, and the sheer, raw panic of watching three film students slowly lose their grip in the face of an unseen terror. Get ready for close-ups, snot, and terrifying sounds in the dark.And to steady our nerves before that infamous ending, we're mixing up The Black Eyed Stickman, a chilling cocktail riff from our friends at Geeks Who Eat! This drink features a potent blend of Vodka and Bourbon shaken with Lemon Juice, St. Germain, and a dash of Simple Syrup and bitters.

In this Halloween-themed episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, host Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ is joined by Dr. Matt Morris and first-time guest Stephanie Osborn for a fun and insightful conversation about fear, especially the fear of money. The trio starts by sharing their thoughts on scary movies (and why Erik can't stand them) and explores some New Orleans lingo about what it really means to call someone “scary.” From there, they draw parallels between the things that spook us on screen, and the real-life anxieties people feel around money. As the discussion unfolds, they unpack why money can be so intimidating and how fear often leads to poor, or no financial decisions at all. The group explores the antidote to financial fear: identifying what's truly important to you, Erik's first pillar of financial security. Matt shares personal stories about how that focus has helped him overcome financial stress, while Erik and Stephanie offer practical strategies like setting small goals, celebrating wins, and building fierce accountability. Tune in for a lighthearted, meaningful conversation that'll leave you a little less afraid of your finances—and maybe a little more ready to face your own money monsters. Episode Highlights: Erik kicks off the episode by sharing his fear of scary movies and how “scary” means something different in New Orleans. (03:38) Matt recalls childhood memories of terrifying films like Children of the Corn and Blair Witch Project, explaining why uncertainty makes horror so effective. (04:57) Stephanie admits she used to love scary movies but can't handle them anymore, naming Scream as her favorite from the '90s. (05:48) Erik transitions the conversation to the episode's main topic about how money can be just as scary as horror movies and introduces Stephanie as a first-time guest. (08:00) Matt explains how financial anxiety often stems from the unknown, similar to fear in horror films, and why some people hide from their finances. (09:00) Stephanie cites statistics about Americans feeling anxious and stressed about money, and Matt discusses how confidence and financial literacy help reduce fear. (10:00) Erik and Matt break down three major financial fears: not having enough, fear of debt, and fear of the unknown. (24:00) Matt shares how fear can lead to poor or avoidant financial decisions and explains the importance of awareness and communication in relationships. (27:00) Erik introduces “knowing what's important to you” as the antidote to financial fear and anxiety, connecting values to practical money habits. (36:00) Matt offers personal examples of aligning money with values, like saving for family travel and using insurance for peace of mind. (39:00) Stephanie adds that identifying where fear comes from and checking in regularly can help manage anxiety and prevent “fear paralysis.” (51:00) Erik concludes by encouraging listeners to identify what matters most, create action steps, and check in consistently to keep fear from controlling their finances.

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.
