Sweet.

[Tweek]

Have you listened to all of it? I've got it downloaded and will give it a listen later.

I heard all of Ed's interview.
It's the first 45 minutes of a 2h 25m podcast.
Ed said where the CP is at.
But he wasn't exactly.. specific

He also said he would like to re-edit the 2h 30m version of The BWP if Lionsgate ever asks him to.

He mentioned how much he liked the movie Europa Report, which I need to watch now.

Also made me want to re-watch Exists.

I conducted the interview with Eduardo. He's one of the most friendly people I've ever met.

Europa Report was a great found footage film. Here's a spoiler free review: foundfootagecritic.com/europa-report-2013/review/

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Here's a written article about Eduardo Sanchez's take on BLAIR WITCH (2016).

What we found most interesting during the interview was his willingness to create a new official cut of the 1999 film. I'll be putting together an article about that next that will hopefully generate some buzz.

[Sticks•n•Stones]

Hopefully Lionsgate will green light it after this new film releases.

[Tweek]

I wonder what changes would be in a new cut?

[Sticks•n•Stones]

Many more entertaining moments as well as extra spookyness.
