Complete PGF reel (updated)

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Brian Brown — 4 Comments

This appears to be the complete reel of film shot by Roger Patterson in and around Bluff Creek, CA, in 1967 that ends with the famous figure walking away down the creek. Not sure which copy it is, but the video appears to have been made by recording the film being projected (hence the projector noise in the background — the camera used by Patterson did not record sound). It’s fuzzy and low resolution, but interesting to see all the same.

Update: Bill Munns has confirmed on the BFF this is the complete reel on which the famous footage is found:

Yes, this is the complete first reel. It’s identical to the full first reel copy I scanned from John Green’s archives.

Anyone who’s listened to the show for more than a couple episodes knows how I try to keep the conversation off the Patterson-Gimlin Film. And yet, here we are inching closer and closer to what may be the ultimate PGF smack-down episode with special guest Bill Munns. What gives?

From how they say no to the use of sex toys, primates do lots of things we do.

Show notes help!

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Brian Brown — 3 Comments

So, we’re launching this shiny new blog right after our 49th show. That means we have 48 shows worth of show notes that need to be written. That’s where you come in!

I’d like to try to crowdsource our back-catalog of show notes. Hopefully, listeners will “adopt” a show, write down the things we talk about, find any associated links that accompany that content, and either leave it as a comment on that show’s post or send it to us via our show feedback page.

If you can help us out, THANKS!

EDIT to add that we’ve tagged all the shows that need notes. Find them all here. Thanks again!

This time, naturalist and media personality David Mizejewski is our special guest.

Episode 46: Triple facepalm

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Brian Brown — Leave a comment

Episode 46 of The Bigfoot Show – Triple facepalm – has been submitted to the internet like a poorly written, scientifically invalid report of the DNA we sequenced over our summer vacation. We cover, unsurprisingly, the Ketchum paper, Matilda the very tired sasquatch, and Rick Dyer’s new and improved bigfoot hoax. Also, ghostly bigfoot sightings. Also also, the whole ordeal has left us very depressed. We need a drink.
