0:00.0	I'm I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.
0:34.2	Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. Hi, I'm Travis Hunter. This week, we're recording live from the Black Hills Gas Station discussing the 2000
0:41.4	supernatural horror sequel, Book of Shadows, Blair Witch 2.
0:45.9	This film was directed by Joe Berlinger and written by Berlinger and Dick Beebe.
0:50.9	Berlinger was offered the chance to direct Book of Shadows Blarewich 2 due to the strength
0:55.3	of his true crime documentaries, including Paradise Lost. With clear idea and intent in mind, Berling
1:01.8	set off to make a sequel that would honor the unique terror of the first film. But studio meddling

2:03.4	And it's okay, but it's not the greatest if it's putting it nicely.
2:10.8	Yeah, that's fair.
2:12.0	I remember watching this the first time and I don't, I didn't hate it the first time I saw it but I was very confused well it's
2:20.8	confusing right I think I've grown to like and maybe even love it more but I think the main reason
2:29.5	for that is I guess the faithfulness to the mythology yeah Yeah. And just I think simply put, it is such a
