Crystal Lake, Capturing Bigfoot and Other Mommy Trailer Discussions : WG Highlight

Taylor (0:00)

Moving on to our next topic, we've got some lovely trailers to break down here. So, what do you want to touch upon first?

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

Well, I want to go right to the big mama for you.

Taylor (0:13)

I know exactly where you're going.

SPEAKER_2 (0:15)

The biggest mama, the biggest foot. Capturing Bigfoot. Taylor, tell me all about this. You must be jazzed out of your gourd right now. So, I don't know. Unless you think it looks like shit for some reason.

Taylor (0:28)

But yeah, jazz isn't necessarily the word I would use. I got to pull up my notes here with Ruben.

SPEAKER_2 (0:34)

Okay.

Taylor (0:35)

Because me and him were talking about this.

SPEAKER_2 (0:39)

Ruben, co-host of Show Cryptic Clues. Cryptic Clues, actually, yes. Which is all about Bigfoot and friends.

Taylor (0:46)

Yes. Let me see if I can find it. Because he was talking to me about it a long time ago.

SPEAKER_2 (0:53)

About this movie specifically.

Well, while you look for that, can I ask you a stupid question for the laymen of the world who are not super deep on the cryptids? In this movie, they're showing this shot, this legendary shot of Bigfoot. And I don't know if this is an actual shot that exists in the real world that people have speculated on, or is that a fictional for the sake of this movie, this shot of Bigfoot that happened way back in the day?

Taylor (1:25)

Well, have you seen the Patterson Gimbal footage that this is referring to?

SPEAKER_2 (1:29)

No, that's why I'm the layman here, and I need you to fill me in.

Taylor (1:33)

Okay, I'll bring up the footage, because you can definitely watch it here.

You've seen it in passing. You'll know it based on the image here at least, and then I'll pull up the footage so you can gander at it. So you know Patty, the female Bigfoot, right? You've seen this picture pop up everywhere.

SPEAKER_2 (1:55)

I've seen that picture, yeah.

Taylor (1:56)

Okay. And you've never seen the video footage?

SPEAKER_2 (2:01)

Maybe not. Maybe not. So why does it look all weird and warly?

Taylor (2:07)

This has been stabilized, basically.

SPEAKER_2 (2:09)

Okay.

Taylor (2:10)

So I'll show you. This is from 1967

Yes. So basically, you got Bob Gimlin and Patterson. Basically, we're two guys going out there, and the area that this takes place, I believe it's mostly all burned from forest fires and whatnot. But they went out there with the cameras, and they caught the footage of this thing walking around out there. Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_2 (2:37)

So all we have is this 10-second clip. That's all they got.

Taylor (2:41)

It's a little bit longer for the love of fuck. Come on, Brad Pitt. Let me skip. Jesus.

Okay. So here's a lot better footage.

SPEAKER_2 (2:55)

So they had the most dog shit equipment back in the day.

Taylor (2:57)

This equipment was like the spinning old school.

SPEAKER_2 (3:03)

Like the Jack Black in King Kong vibe.

Taylor (3:06)

Exactly. We're talking old school. Yeah. So there she is. She's walking.

And the thing that people have highlighted about this creature in this footage is that you can see the muscles in the leg moving as it walks. I'll rewind it again so you can see it.

SPEAKER_2 (3:24)

The muscles in the legs are moving.

Taylor (3:26)

You can see like there's the thigh muscles, like there's movement there that you wouldn't get in a suit, right?

SPEAKER_2 (3:32)

I see. I see. Okay.

Taylor (3:35)

Yeah. Like right in the leg there.

SPEAKER_2 (3:37)

Yeah. I saw a little wrinkle. Yeah.

Taylor (3:40)

You can see there's breasts on this too. And then you can see the distinct like the facial features and whatnot. So people have gone in and tried to recreate this. They looked at the person who was able to make the best suits at the time, Planet of the Apes, and the guy that made the Planet of the Apes costumes couldn't even come close to this.

People were trying to walk and match the steps that this thing is taking. It's like, okay, the steps are too big. When they looked at the debris that was around here, it's like, holy shit, like this thing and the way it's walking, it looks like it's walking pretty casually, but it's walking over big logs. And you can see how rough the terrain is, right?

SPEAKER_2 (4:14)

Like it's actually like... How tall do we think this big foot is based on?

Taylor (4:20)

This thing, like eight feet or so. Don't quote me on that, because my knowledge on this, I have to do a refresher.
