We Needed Roads Podcast

In this episode I talk to filmmaker Jed Shepherd (writer of Host & Dashcam) about his new feature length documentary on Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez's found footage classic The Blair Witch Project.

Jed was lucky enough to see every minute of footage that was shot for the film and all the behind the scenes content. From that he has crafted the ultimate document of the film from the initial concept meetings, through all aspects of production, the films debut at Sundance and the legacy and future of the Franchise

Feel free to play along with Colin Robinson, Wednesday Adams, some kind of Man-With Bat lights on him and a man who might be a magician or some kind of pimp!

Yes, our resident horror fan David has devised a horror movie quiz episode for Neil (who has a good knowledge of horror) and Jose and Marie who do not and rarely watch horror films!

Let the chaos commence!

Strap in, go to the bathroom and get the snacks folks as we spend almost 3 hours going through a veritable treasure trove of wrongly (and occasionally rightly) cancelled TV shows.

Neil is joined by Ben, David, Jose & Marie as we read out listeners comments from Twitter, give our honourable mentions and then delve into our combined Top 10 Cancelled TV Shows of All Time 

And remember this is our 2nd ever Video episode as well which you can view with added graphics and fun on our YouTube channel below

In this episode I'm joined by our very our J-train Jose Lopez and our own Victoria Neuman Marie Stanza who will make your head explode if you don't recycle as we take a belated but spoiler filled dive deep into The Boys Season 4 and give our predictions on where we think the final season will end.

Will it follow along with the graphic novels ending or continue to veer away from the original story?
