Failed Critics Podcast: The Blair Witch Project (Commentary)

Never let it be said that the Failed Critics are afraid to try anything new. I mean, it's only taken us 192 episodes to finally getting around to doing a film commentary.Andrew Brooker and Matt Lambourne joined hosts Steve Norman and Owen Hughes for this special episode as together they watch and share their thoughts, opinions, anecdotes and stories about 1999's pioneering indie found footage horror, The Blair Witch Project, co-written and co-directed by Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick.As the four failed critics gathered for their unholy ceremony, only Owen knew which film they were going to be watching that night. If you listen closely when it's revealed, you can hear the lamentations of Brooker who hates the film, the rustle of a jumper as Steve's shrugging shoulders indicate he has no opinion either way, and then Matt jumps for joy as he prepares to shit himself at one of the scariest films ever made.The film was streamed via Netflix UK, so if you want to watch the film underneath our commentary, we'll tell you when to hit play and you can listen along as we try to remain interesting for the whole 80 minutes. Alternatively, the podcast should just work as a normal hour and 20 minutes of general shenanigans and film related chat. What I'm getting at is you don't need to watch the film to enjoy this week's podcast, but it will probably help!If you like the idea or would like to see more of this sort of thing for some of your favourite movies, leave a comment in the box below, send us a tweet or post on our Facebook page.
