In a recent video from the YouTube channel "Hey, Did You See This One?" titled "Harry and the Hendersons," hosts Alex and Steve delve into the 1987 cult classic film about a family who befriends a Bigfoot-like creature. The film, which stars John Lithgow, is a heartwarming and sometimes comedic take on the idea of coexisting with a mysterious and often misunderstood creature.
Alex, a self-proclaimed "wildly bearded man," chose this film for the show's "Crazy Cryptids" month because of its connection to the world of Bigfoot and its potential for a good laugh. Steve, on the other hand, had a more vague memory of the film, recalling it as a punchline from the 90s and something he may have seen bits and pieces of on TV as a child.
The video serves as a brief history and review of the film, with the hosts sharing their thoughts and memories of it. They discuss the plot, the characters, and the overall message of the movie. They also touch on the cultural impact of the film and its place in the world of Bigfoot lore.
As a Bigfoot believer and a curator for Squatchable, I found this video to be an interesting and entertaining take on a classic film. It's always great to see people discussing and appreciating the world of Bigfoot, and this video is no exception. I would highly recommend giving it a watch and checking out the film for yourself. Who knows, you may just find a new appreciation for the mysterious and often misunderstood creature that is Bigfoot.
As a side note, the video also features a brief history of video rental stores, which may be of interest to those who are too young to remember the days of physically going to a store to rent a movie. It's a nice touch and adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the video.
Overall, this video is a 7 on the
