Episode 50 of The Bigfoot Show — Munnsapalooza! — has sauntered onto the internet like a hairy hominid walking down a creek bed in Northern California. On the show with Scott, Paul, Sam and Brian is Hollywood costume and make-up expert Bill Munns discussing his Texas Bigfoot Conference presentation, “Patterson-Gimlin Hominid: Extraordinary costume or extraordinary reality?”
Snag the show from iTunes, Stitcher or by boogying down with the DDL.
