On today’s super-sized episode, I discuss the bizarre sequel Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 with my guests Sebass Maroun, Bobby Martin and Kevin Wingertzahn. All three of my guests are on this episode because they share a personal connection to the original Blair Witch Project.

 

The film was shown with a Q&A by director Joe Berlinger at the Prospect Park Nitehawk Cinema on October 30, 2023. Discussion topics include:

 

• What is the Book of Shadows, and does it actually appear in this film?
• Is there a Papa Roach song on this movie’s soundtrack, or does it just really feel like there should be?
• Is the parody film starring children as well as a member of the original Blair Witch Project cast that Kevin, Bobby, and Sebass made years ago a more faithful follow-up than this movie?
