He had. He's gun, so he just slung it open. I start
to notice that, you know, the atmosphere feels a little bit weird.
The first thing he's saying was this six and a half fatal broad shoulder,
dark hair that rik. You amount, we hadn't talked to her about like
life and death and what any of that means. She's three years old,
you know. We turned around. Suddenly there's a whole tree fallen across the
road, and she was describing to us that, you know, there was
a deceased person that she could see, she could see visually. Hello,

this is gonna be this is gonna be a good time. I getting into
the movie now non spoilers, of course, I had not really any general
idea of what I was going to be immersing myself into. Obviously Sasquatch,
of course, but I saw the trailers and saw the posters whatnot, and
I just really couldn't pick up on what we were in for. I will
say I took my mom to see this movie. And I will just put
my foot right down now and say, if you are planning to take your
mother to this movie, don't unless you both have just that kind of a
relationship and your mom's just super driving into you know, this kind of stuff,
which my mom she really wasn't. As she said, she enjoyed spending
the quality time with me and left it at that. There's a lot of
things that I don't think visually she needed to see. But she loves Bigfoot.
She knows I do my own show Crypto Clues, and she definitely supports
the cryptid aspect of my life. But there's a lot of other things that
were really visual in this film that I don't think she was really hopping on
board with. It was initially just me and her in the theater, but
then another guy and his girlfriend came in and he looks over and he's like,
we going squatching, Like, yeah, we are going squatching, So
that was actually quite humorous. But it was just the four of us enjoying
this elegant experience. And YO, what else can I say about this film?
It has a very i almost want to say, resonating an impactful message
to it. It feels very expansive, and then it kind of shrinks down
a little bit near the end, which is interesting. It did not feel
like I believe it was like an hour and a half. Did not feel
like that whatsoever. It felt very very quick, and I like that.
And this isn't a spoiler. They kind of segregated it into four parts or
four chapters if you, if you'd want to call it that, and I
like that. I actually was neat to kind of see how things unfolded in
each chapter of this adventure. I thought that was really neat. I have
cons but what how what kind of cons are are they? When you look
at it? I mean, have I seen a Bigfoot? No? I
mean I cannot speak to how I think that they would act or whatnot.
I think the actors did a great job portraying Sasquatch in this film. I
think it was It was quite humorous at times too, and there are other
moments that were quite serious and actually quite upsetting. Upsetting isn't the right way
to put it. Maybe saddening is how I would call it. So I
think that they did a good job, and I think that that's the other
con that I have though, is that maybe the actors that were doing this
to me, they just felt like it was a little bit too human.
And then the other side of it was maybe it feels a little bit too
monky like and there isn't that kind of unique in between where I just wanted
to kind of see it be its own thing, And hence my name Messa.
With Sasquatch, I kind of like that version of how a bigfoot is
where it's very animalistic, but then you also have these calm moments where it's
not very human and there's certain things that they do and here where it feels
like it is human. And maybe that's just maybe it's just something I need
to revisit and touch upon again, because in my in my perspective with Bigfoot
and the way that I listened to these reports and I talk to these people
that have had their sightings, Bigfoot is something that people see it out in
the bush and it's like, oh my gosh, it looked and I felt
like I was looking at kind of like a human like thing paraphrasing, of
course, and in this movie, it's just the mannerisms feel too human.
Again, I haven't seen a bigfootslot I'm just I'm just bab a lagging whatever,
not making much sense with it. It was just something that I just
felt that and just kind of like critiqued on. But ultimately it's just a
minor little thing. I had a good time with this movie, and I
think that the music was quite elegant and quaint, and as I said,
the story felt expansive and then it shrinks down intentionally into this interesting kind of
climactic ending that really makes you feel a certain way towards a certain I would
say antagonists to this film where you don't really see this antagonist, but you
can definitely feel the presence of the antagonist throughout the film. Kind of the
aesthetic and the atmosphere, which I really liked. Yeah, it just it's
a heavy film at times, and I don't I want to say you should
go to see it in theaters because I think it's very powerful. It was
visually beautiful to see on screen. The location was wonderful. But it's also
something that if you can't make it to the theater, absolutely see it.
See it as soon as you can at home when you can, because it's
it's definitely something I think everyone should see and should enjoy. I think that
they definitely blow some of the analogies or stories off of Bigfoot a little bit
too far out. But I think this is a film that's supposed to be
comedic and kind of upbeat at times as well. So maybe I'm just being
super super picky. But what we got hunter Iggy hunter Iggy geek versus So
no d C today. I don't know what you mean no DC today unless
you mean d C is in Zack Snyder as in Rebel Moon. Maybe I'm
just kind of stretching that a little bit too far. They're doing their Rebel
Moon Part two review tomorrow and I might join for that. I might not
off to see to see if I can sneak it in. I was gonna
initially do an Abigail review, but then all sunsets, Sasquatched sunset just popped
in, so you have that, and I had to pick between the two
or between the I guess the three actually, but the ship hasn't sailed yet
on reb Moon Part two. We'll see if I have the time to squeeze
that in. But yeah, he came down to this and a I thought,
you know, I gotta do Sasquatch Sunset. That's just a nope brainer.
Very cool fact though, as I was sitting in the movie theater,
I'd like to hop with a Twitter real quick and do a little now seated
post for movies that I'm going into. And David Zelner actually liked my post
and I couldn't believe it. I reached over. I reached over as a
bad way of saying this. I pulled my phone over to my mom.
I was like, oh, look, look who liked my my Twitter Post's
David Zeldner. And sheually like, whow Who's that. I'm like, well,
Mom, wait till I tell you he's one of the directors and producers
of this movie, Sasquatch Sunset. I thought that was pretty cool. I
claim to fame my one person that liked this this tweet that I did was
was this wonderful individual. So shout outs to you, and I'm very happy
that you got to make this project, to make this film and got to
have it get put out into movie theaters, especially here up here in Canada.
I feel like Canada and British Columbia kind of gets not all the greatest
of showings. Sometimes we just kind of get the shaft when it comes to
these movies, and I'm just very happy that I got to see this on
the big screen. It was really really wonderful. As I said, I
wouldn't take my mom again. I kind of feel like it was very comfortable
watching with my mom, who's practically and like seventy years old, and that
was just this is a very weird experience seeing that with my mom, with
Kirklar and Travis and even I know Dylan's located elsewhere, but just to have
him watch this movie and talk about all of it together, that would have
been a really good time to go and see it with everyone would have been
fantastic. I feel like this Kirkland would have been lapping his head off at
so many of these scenes because there's so many sequences that you're just like,
holy shit, this is absolutely bonkers. But yeah, I digress. I
think that's where I'm going to cap it on the non spoilers and start getting
into the spoilers. So if you want to go see the movie, go
see the movie and come back, because we're gonna take a quick ad break
and get into it. And we are back. So where to start with
the spoilers? Now? I guess that it's it's for sasquatch in this movie,
you got the big daddy, you got the wifey, you got the
upcoming next and next in line adolescent, and then you got the young buck,
the junior you guess you could say. So there's a family of four,
and it starts off just massive. It's beautiful shots and scenery and just
explores and covers so much ground where you feel like, Okay, this doesn't
feel like an isolated incident. There's so much wilderness out there. It's beautiful.
And then it kind of isolates in on the Sasquatch, the family,
And the first thing my mom says is, well, they wouldn't walk like
that, would they? And I thought, you know, okay, yeah,
they're they're walking like a person. And when you look at the way
that some of these creatures move in I can't say actual footage, but footage
that has been scrutinized but put out online of certain certain encounters, the way
that they move is very, very different, and so that's something my mom
kind of highlighted. I digress. I thought at this point it was just
really cool to see these portrayals and see them just sitting around eating things and
just living life as just being animals, but being able to tap into this
kind of consciousness and coordination with each other, being able to communicate to it.
Really really was just cool to see this visualization on the screen like this.
And it's neat because the movie had no dialogue aside from the grunts and
the way that they were talking and not talking language like English, but talking
in their own sort of language with to each other. I thought it was
really really neat, and the fact that this movie had no dialogue. I
really enjoyed that. There's a movie called Willy's Wonderline with Nicholas Cage and he
doesn't say a single line in that movie, and I love that. I
really really do other characters talking it, but it really adds a presence to
this film, and I think that that is so powerful and so wonderful and
really helps this overarching antagonist that you never see in the movie because there's never
any words spoken. I think it's really really powerful that they did that.
I'm so happy that they did that for this movie. Getting into the fact
that there's no humans either, which helps the fact that there's no dialogue whatsoever,
is wonderful. I really like that. But yeah, so you have
this family of four, and it starts off like everything is great, everything's
so expansive. They have the world as their oyster. But as they kind
of journey forward, there's tribulations that kind of start unfolding, and you start
to feel their world really start to shrink. And that's another huge pro that
I love to have seen in this movie. Well, I didn't enjoy it
from a saddening point of view. I enjoyed it from the way that it
was telling this story in a very realistic setting. Of course, Bigfoot,
that's a whole other can of worms, but their realistic setting is that the
world is shrinking because of man's expansion, and that's something I'll highlight as I
get further on in this review. So the family is just continuing on and
you just follow day by day what they're up to, and it starts off
in chapter one, and chapter one is the Spring, and this is what
I was alluding to in the non spoilers portion. I love how they categorize
these four chapters Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, and I think
it helped make it feel not like a super long movie, but pretty concise
and cohesive in its own sort of way. It was a great way to
kind of pass through time a little bit faster as well in the storytelling and
just kind of get into the different things that these family members are up to.
So when we start off at the beginning, as I said, they're
all just kind of moseying about and it's the first day and we see them
all together doing tree knocks, and they never really confirm what they're trying to
do with the tree knocks. The way I think everyone interprets it will be
different, and how I interpreted it was that they were trying to communicate with
maybe another group that's out there. And the fact that they go through and
continue doing tree knocks throughout this movie but it keeps going unanswered adds a lot
more power to not only the overarching invisible antagonist, but the isolation sense as
well, where things just feel like it echoes on and on forever and they're
gonna find someone eventually. But it just kind of takes a right turn.
It was really interesting and very lonely, so as this family just has each
other and they're continuing on, there's other animals that they encounter and everything,
and this movie Hot and Heavy just starts off with the Bigfoot sex scene,
and it was much longer than I thought it was, and they really emphasized
him finishing, and my mom was a little uncomfortable. I knew that this
was gonna happen because I saw in the trailers, and I thought it'd just
be funny, like, oh, well, yeah, my mom's gonna get
a kick out of this, YadA YadA, YadA. And just when it
was like a good minute thirty seconds of just Bigfoot going yeah, and then
that's just, oh, I wish I could have that moment back and exchange
it for something else with my mother. That was a little awkward, And
that's only kind of like I wouldn't say tip of the Iceberg, but it's
just another one of those moments in this movie. And I was laughing throughout
it uncomfortably. But I mean, they're animals and this is it's the natural
world. They're just doing what they do, so like it is what it
is. I mean, humans do it. But moving on, after that
happens, the Big Daddy just kind of becomes sex obsessed. In many scenes,
he starts walking around and his dick is just flailing about, and there's
certain one s where he's just like ah and his dick is just fully erect
as he's walking around at the forest, and there's so many scenes where he
sees the female, his wife Bigfoot, just in these certain positions and he's
just getting ah and he's just getting full rock heart solid for this lady Bigfoot
and just wants to go to town and she's not having it. She would
like turn around like smack him, like get away, get away, yeah
yeah, yeahda. And as that's kind of like one of his main goals
obviously at this point, is he's just looking to get at it. He
wants the almighty, almighty female Bigfoot there. So in between his attempts to
conduct business, they have other very calming moments where they're picking the mites and
the fleets off of each other's backside. And at the end of every day
they build a structure. They all sleep together, and then they wake up
and they take the structure down and they continue on forth, which I thought,
this is this is just that interesting, and it's very humbling and calming
to see how they're conducting their business and doing things. And as time progresses,
we see them salvaging food and interacting with other wildlife and just doing what
they do, and then things just start to get a little bit more,
a little bit more exposed. You start to see more of like the female's
body parts, and like she'll be like touching down below and like pops,
like her hand up to her mouth or or like face is like doing a
bunch of just crazy things. Like you can imagine if you put a person
out in the woods and like not Tarzan style, but uh opposite of Tarzan
style, they'd be doing some animalistic things, if you can imagine. So,
yeah, the story progresses and they just start to experience some tribulations,
and the first tribulation is that while they encounter this bush of all these fruits
and stuff that they're eating and sharing, the big Daddy he just gets kind
of pissed off. He goes to another bush takes it for himself and it's
all looks like it's all these raspberries and he's eating it. He doesn't want
to share with the rest of the family group. And then he passes out,
just drugged out on berries, and then he wakes up and sees the
family's building a shelter. He goes again to attempt to dominate his female counterpart,
and she's not having it kicks him off, and then he looks at
this piece of wood holding up the structure and sees there's a hole and he
like caresses it, and it's like, oh no, he's fully erect,
and we know exactly what he's gonna be doing here. He pulls the log
out and the whole structure comes down. So the family group like messes him
off and like tells him to leave as they're pissed off, so he leaves.
He's walking through the bush like still fully erect, absolutely peeved out of
his mind, and he finds a mushroom and he picks it up, and
this mushroom looks like the most psychedelic thing I've ever seen in my life.
He eats it and then he's like vomiting and foaming at the mouth, puking
up like crazy, and he finds a cougar dem and I think that they
were trying to insinuate that he wanted to sleep with the cougar, because it
does a panout shot and he's again standing chanting. His penis is fully fully
full on erect, as erect as it's ever been right now, and he
reaches in towards the cougar and it fades to black, and my mom was
like, oh God, yeah, I hope he's really not actually going to
sleep with this thing, because he's just that freaking horny. It cuts to
the next next day and the rest of the family group kind of like saunder
off and they they find him and the cougar is eating him. Basically,
so he did not have relations with the cat. The cougar killed him and
is eating out of his chest, and so they throw rocks scare the cougar
away, and they take the body and they bury the body. And this
is again one of the other things that people talk about was it comes to
Bigfoot is worth bodies. We've had tree knocks, we've had the whoops in
this movie, and now we have them burying the body, which I thought
was very interesting and it was cool to see that represented on this film.
They bury the body and they leave these little tokens. Basically they fold little
twigs and put them on top of the grave, and then they leave the
area. I thought's interesting to see that. So now as they move away,
this is when the antagonist enters the film, we feel, Okay,
they've lost their main paternal hierarch and you feel things more at risk for this
family group. So the next in line basically is the semi oldest male.
And when they're out there, they're doing their thing, they're exploring, they're
sleeping together, and they encounter a tree with a big red X, and
this is basically entering the antagonist, and you know that this is man that
is now posing a threat and X is basically marking a tree to be forced
and cut down. And at this point, the camera zooming in the scor
is really getting heavy. The base is kicking in, and you really feel
without seeing humans and after so many things being semi comedic and coming off of
losing one of these bigfoot, Okay, this feels dangerous. This feels very
very scary, even though we're humans ourselves, but we're watching this and it's
just from their point of view from the Sasquatch, this feels terrifying, and
I was feeling terrified for them in the situation. So as this moves on
from here, we learn, okay that this female Sasquatch is pregnant and she's
like sniffing her fingers and getting the other bigfoot to sniffer two so that they
know. But for whatever reason, the other older male bigfoot. He's like
caressing this mossy tree, getting super hard, and so he just is like,
I'm gonna I'm gonna fuck this female bigfoot because she's like up against the
tree, like caressing the back of the moss of the tree truck. And
he like comes out and he's like, oh, like banging his fists together,
and she's like no, I'm not having it and kicks him away.
So he like saunders off, and that's that they continue their trek, and
after a little bit of time. Now as we move into summer, we
come to this beach area, and when we're at the beach area, they
they're kind of like throwing rocks and stuff like that, and it's it's just
kind of like a very a very fun kind of moment because they're just kind
of like wrestling around and just like taking taking in the moments with each other.
They get like a big salmon and they just are like, I don't
know how I've never seen a fish do this before. Maybe it's just the
type of fish, I don't hope, but they like cut the back open
and they're like draining this fish gotsxplusion all over all. Three of those crazy
and they're like eating oysters and stuff. It just looks like great time.
But continuing on from there we get another basically another entry point of the antagonist.
They come to a and they made it really, really terrifying, and
I could really appreciate the way that they film this. It felt absolutely overwhelming
because they step out into the road cautiously. They never felt cement before,
and so they step out onto the pavement and they look down the road and
it just this road continues on and on and on the middle of the forest,
and they're freaking out. They're screaming, terrifying. And then one of
them turns around and they look behind them and they see the road goes in
the back like behind them, on and on and on. So they start
freaking out. They can't handle anymore. They start pissing all over the road.
They start squatting, and then like the female, she squats and then
she starts pissing. And then they start shitting all over the road like crazy
shitting. And then the female starts shooting her breast milk out like crazy over
the road. She's shitting and pissing. Oh my god, Oh my poor
seven year old mother. How is she putting up with this goodness gracious?
That basically cuts off and then we transition to another beach scene here after the
fact, and the three squats are here and they're playing around drinking water.
The oldest male looks over and sees this big cut down log and sees a
red X on it, and he recognizes it and gets his attention. And
I should say that this bigfoot it's interesting because and this is where he felt
like it was a little bit too human characteristically traded, because he's sleeping at
night, but trying to sleep at night, he's counting the stars and he
can't count beyond three. He's trying to count these eggs and he can't count
beyond three. But he sees his X and he's very curious about it.
So he goes over to it and he sees the way that the tree is
cut. And you can tell the age of a tree because you can count
the layers on the inside of the tree and that will tell you how old
it is. And so he's trying to count them and he can't count beyond
three. He starts to get kind of pissed off. The youngest is playing
away his back and then The female comes up and she feels again she's pregnant
now because the big Daddy had his way with her at the beginning of the
film, so she's pregnant and she starts to feel uncomfortable, so she sits
down on the rocks, and then the oldest male is just kind of getting
like impatient, jumps on top of this log and just kind of like rocking
it back and forth, jumping up and down on it. He falls and
the log rolls over on top of him, so he is now stuck under
this log half above the water. The female goes over to try and help
and gets the log off of him, but then drops it because she loses
her grip, and the log rolls even further, pushing him under the water.
The younger male comes over now and is just trying to take a stick
and hit the tree trunk kind of thing, just to kind of, I
guess feels like he's helping, but it doesn't do much. And then the
female's trying to like move the water away from the male's head and just try
to keep his head above water, but unfortunately the log just keeps on moving
over and drowns him. And this the cougar death was one thing, but
this death really really hit me. And I didn't tear up, but I
really felt bad because they looked really really saddened at this point. It was
really really really unfortunate. And I think again, most of these shots and
the things that they do in this movie, I think they did a really
really good job with this. But seeing this really really was very saddening.
And they just they start doing whoops and call outs and they just fall asleep
on the beach. They wake up and they see the log is kind of
floated off of the shoreline, and they look over and they see crows eating
off of the body and the body is washed up on the shore. So
they take the body and they bury the body, and they make more stick
tokens and put the tokens down there, and then they kind of sit there
for a little bit and just think, and then they decide to move on.
So they continue on, and now we get the next time the antagonist
returns, it is a human campsite and there's a tent and all this stuff,
and there's drugs. And I got the sense that these were hippies because
they have lots of munchies food and they got lots of pills and drugs and
whatnot, so they they started eating some of the candies and whatnot, and
the female Sasquatch gets the speaker sound system of sony cassette deck and plays it
and the music plays, and she just like is holding the speaker and you
see like a tear come out of her eye and she's just like infatuated with
it. And the other little guy he's holding a big handful of licorice and
he's just like standing there like, oh my god, this is the greatest
song of all time and they've never seen or heard this stuff before. The
music it gets cut short because the female just ends up smashing it after enough
is enough, and they just destroy the whole campsite. They're just they're done.
They're absolutely dumb, and you never see any humans. It's just them
destroying it. After that, the moment here kicks in where she realizes she's
going into labor. He throws the little guy throws a frisbee, hits her,
and her water just splooshes out, and so they walk away. They
get somewhere distant and they basically are sitting up a little grassy pad and she
gives birth, and let me tell you, they do not hold back.
We're entering fall at this point as well in this chapter, so this is
the third part here of this film. They don't hold back on the visuals
because she squats over and that baby's like the cameras were right there and baby's
popping out. So that was interesting. Everything comes out with that baby,
and it's graphic to a degree. As soon as the baby's out, a
cougar again shows up, and it's like, holy crap, what are we
gonna do? So what does mamasquatch do? She grabs everything that came out
with that baby and just throws it over the cougar and the cougar starts eating
it, and they sneak away with the baby. I really like, I
was just yeah, it's a thing. It's a thing. So with the
baby, they carry on, and it was really really nice being in that
moment, just because they were holding the baby and they were actually smiling and
they felt really happy, and it's cool to see that they got a plus
one again. I was absolutely bamboozled because it eventually we get to a point
where there's a shelter that they build and at night, the baby looks like
the baby's dead, and the baby's been with them for a few days now.
But the mm wakes up and the baby's not breathing, its eyes have
rolled in the back of its head, and I'm like, oh my god,
totally, I totally believe this year that they just killed the baby.
And I thought, this is just brutal. This is so brutal and so
sad, and the mum's shaking the baby, and the little male is just
like freaking out, making calls and stuff like that. But then the baby
starts to cough up and wait and stops choking and comes back to them,
and I thought, oh, thank god, I was really freaking worried about
this baby. So the baby's with the mom all the time. And after
that, I'm trying to think our next moment of the antagonist is you see
lots of more trees being cut down, and you start to see the impacts
of a forest fire here. And while I can't attribute that to this the
antagonist really of humankind, but I attribute it to just the isolation and the
claustrophobic kind of shrinking of their world. And that is the antagonist that I'm
referring to, not just humans, but the fact that their world is shrinking.
Throughout this film, they're doing tree knocks, trying to reach out,
in my interpretation, to communicate to another group so that they're not alone anymore,
and it always goes an answered, And I think that's very sad because
for all they know, they could be the last of their kind and there's
just no response. The world is getting smaller, you have forest fires,
you have deforestation, so many factors involved here and again, they didn't see
a single other human and they were very cautious of course, and how they
were traversing and trekking, buring the bodies, taking their structures down and that
sort of stuff. So when they eventually come across a this looked like it
was like a human kind of campsite because there was a live chicken that they
took. And this is when we get into the winter time. Now,
they took the chicken. I don't know what they were doing with the chicken.
The mom was eyeing up the chicken legs. But they come across these
traps and I thought, oh god, this is how they killed the little
guy. I really really hope that the little male bigfoot doesn't eat it here
because he's like playing with the chicken on one of these bear traps. And
the one bear tropically was like a human leg that had got cut and clamped
in it. But I almost like that maybe it was another bigfoot that someone
hunted and the bigfoot stepped in there. But the female realized that this is
this is bigfoot. Sorry, this is a bear foot trap, and we
need to get out of here. We can't stay here. And it seems
like she was definitely the most intelligent out out of all of them. She
was very wise, She was very tactful and very very dominant too in this
group, and I like that. So when we got to the point here
where she knew, okay, this is dangerous, we need to leave,
they left and we moved to basically this You don't know it's a museum at
first, but you basically moved to this Willow Creek area, And of course
you know Willow Creek. That's that's absolutely a legendary place. If you don't
know why, I'd give it a Google and you might see some cool,
cool original footage to associated with Willow Creek. But they end up coming to
this place where you see a bunch of deforestation construction equipment and everything, and
you have the score and the base kicking in. But this is where it
really feels powerful because man is not in this movie, but their machinery is
and their footprint is, and it feels scary. It really feels scary if
you've lived your life out in the woods, and that's what we see.
We see their whole world being out in the woods. From their perspective.
The times that they come across this antagonists, this thing that is a threat
to their way of life. They've I mean, the cougar killed the one
guy, but the other bigfoot, it was because this tree was cut down
by man and left out in the water that ended up killing him. So
this threat to their way of life. You don't see this threat, but
you see the things that this threat is left behind, and it is scary,
it is powerful, it is dangerous, and I think that really stands
a great message of how their world is shrinking, and it's you can pull
Bigfoot out of the equation and you could put any other animal in there.
And in this movie, we saw skunks, we saw elk, we saw
PORCUPI we saw tons of animals, and I think that any of those animals
could be exchanged for bigfoot in this main story, and you can see how
the message stands where their world is shrinking, and I think that this movie
does a great job at explaining that, and without the dialogue, without having
humans actually in there, it just it leaves it up to you to feel
that presence of how dangerous and how threatening mankind is, and so the loneliness
factor of these Bigfoot. When they see all this equipment and they're slowly creeping
in, the little guy grabs a few rocks because he's going to throw them
in case trouble comes. They see a big bigfoot carving on the side of
the museum and they're trying to talk to it and how to it, and
you feel so sad for them because it's like, this is what we're looking
for, more Bigfoot, but it's not real and they don't know that,
so they the movie ends with them just standing there and yeah, it's just
that it's a really really awesome movie. And being able to talk more about
it, I'm glad because it's definitely made it my heart feel a little bit
more warmer to the story and just being able to think back on some of
this stuff and again, there's lots of scenes that are just so outrageous and
you're laughing because it's just it's really funny. You can tell that they had
a good time doing this movie because there's so many kooky things going on.
But yeah, I know where I would rank this movie on my twenty twenty
four watch list. I know what I would rate it. I'd go probably
like an eight out of ten because I had a really, really good time
with this. I'm docking at points just because of how I feel like certain
movements and certain things that they do are very very human in the way like
they make certain calls too that feel very very human. And I know because
I've tried to imitate those calls and I sound just like them. But I
think everything else was great, and I think it's just a very humble movie.
I don't think that this is any flack. But I think if you
were to get high or stone and watch this movie, you are like,
you're fucking set. You're gonna like think this is the BEA's knees. You're
gonna go in for the trip of your life. But I did not do
that because that was my mom. But yeah, I go in in ten.
I think that so many things of this movie are really really fun,
really really awesome, And I hope that the other geek Verse members will tune
in and watch this movie because it's it's it's quite a treat, it's its
own thing, and it's cool to see that Sasquatch is still a relevant factor
and is still up on the entertainment big screen. I will make a couple
suggestions if you are looking for other Bigfoot films. I highly highly recommend Willow
Creek. You have to check that out, really really good film, and
that I really really recommend. Exists. Exists is a fantastic movie. It's
definitely one of my favorite horror movies that exists out there. It's great,
it's one of my favorite's probably my favorite Bigfoot movie actually, to be honest,
it's just fantastic. It's really really fantastic. So yeah, that's that's
about it. That's all I got. So if you're a fan of anything
Cryptid related, like I said at the beginning of the show, I run
a side show called Cryptic Clues since why I got the Cryptic Clues branding on
here, but I should probably change that to geek Verse just because I'm try.
Don't want Travis to get mad too mad at me for that, but
yeah, check out Cryptic Clues because we cover everything. It's mean. If
you know Rubin Rubin from other geek Verse episodes, he's my co host and
we talk everything Cryptid related and I'll probably talk about Sasquatch Sunset on the show
there with him a little bit. But yeah, we do interviews and talk
about experiences, encounters and all that kind of stuff. So it's definitely a
good time. But when you're not interested in all that kind of stuff and
you want to tune back into the more geek related things, and geek Verse
podcast has all the things that you need, whether it be comic book reviews,
movie reviews, video game reviews, Dylan's geek Verse side quest going on
there. There's so much stuff popping off, so definitely tune into that.
We've got lots of reviews that are coming out soon, so be sure to
stay tuned and check out our social media tabs and channels and everything everything below
in the description and our discord. Yeah, so that is everything. I
hope you enjoyed this review. I will be seeing you guys soon, so
remember everyone, take care and stay safe,
