Acomi and Turk182 prepare for the upcoming 25th anniversary of The Blair Witch, and another reboot. In doing so, they read a recent article about the main actors in the first movie Heather, Mike, and Josh and their struggles with the movie and post movie fame.
Their biggest contention was with the money the studio made that feel wasn't properly shared with them. The movie was made for less than $50k and grossed over $250mil. Extremely profitable for the studio, but not for the actors. After several lawsuits and a settlement, Heather, Mike, and Josh say the movie studio continues to use their images and voices to promote future Blair Witch projects, without paying them.
To make matters worse, the movie that brought them attention and popularity also destroyed their chances to be movies stars. While the three have abandoned their Hollywood dreams, their images live on; making money for someone else.
Join Acomi and Turk as they delve into the Johnny Hates Jazz of the actors' lost careers and question who is really to blame to their pseudo rise to fame. Did the studio kill their success, or did they do that themselves? Also, if their contract wasn't upheld, who actually owes them?
