The speaker begins by apologizing for any offense caused by their theories and expresses regret for not providing tissues due to a running nose. They then introduce their show, "Film Theory," which explores unsolved mysteries from the 21st century.
The speaker then discusses the movie "Blair Witch Project," stating that while the 2016 sequel may be forgotten by history, the original was a pioneer in using the internet as a viral marketing tool. They argue that the movie was a fake documentary about the disappearance of the actors, and that the events in the movie were not supernatural but a setup for the two main actors, Josh and Mike, to murder Heather.
The speaker provides evidence from the movie and Heather's diary to support their theory. They argue that Heather was the one who planned the whole excursion, and that Mike and Josh were walking ahead of her, guiding the group. They also point out that Mike and Josh were the only ones who knew where they were going, which is unusual as Heather was the one who kept the map.
The speaker then discusses the map and how it went missing, and how Mike and Josh were the only ones who could have gotten it. They argue that Mike could have stolen it from Heather's back pocket or gotten it from Josh after he knowingly kept it during the last map check.
The speaker also points out that Mike and Josh were subtly manipulating Heather to go in the direction they wanted, leading her around the woods and scaring her for a few days, eventually leading her to the murder house. They argue that the strange things only start to happen when Heather falls asleep, and that Mike and Josh were the only ones who could have heard the strange noises in the night.
The speaker concludes by discussing the ambiguous ending of the movie, arguing that it suggests that Mike and Josh killed Heather. They argue that the movie itself is evidence that people made it into the woods, found the murder house, and got back home safely without being accosted by any supernatural beings.
The speaker then encourages viewers to subscribe to their channel and visit the Wisecrack channel for more film theory. They end by expressing a desire for a fun theory and seizing the day.
