In their latest video, the Untold Radio Network explores the fascinating world of Yeti, Bigfoot, and Sasquatch in cinema. Asparia and Jay Katz, the passionate hosts, take us on a journey through the history of these mythical creatures on film, from the early days of the Abominable Snowman to the more recent Bigfoot and Sasquatch features. The video begins with a discussion about the early expeditions to the Himalayas in search of the Yeti, sparked by media attention and the costly nature of these trips. The term "Abominable Snowman" was coined by a journalist, and soon became a popular term in Western culture. The hosts also mention the influence of Tom Slick, a wealthy oilman who financed many of these expeditions and was known for his interest in the paranormal. Asparia and Jay then delve into the world of psychotronic cinema, featuring films made with virtually no budget that transcend their limitations to become entertaining for all the wrong reasons. They reference Michael Weldon's book "Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film" as their Bible in this exploration. The video then moves on to the birth of the Bigfoot and Sasquatch films, which began with the Yeti in cinema. The hosts mention the 1958 incident in Humboldt County, California, where Jerry Crew and his work team discovered massive 400-pound footprints, sparking even more interest in these creatures. Asparia and Jay then discuss 14 films featuring Yeti, Bigfoot, and Sasquatch, providing links to watch them on YouTube for those interested. They mention that while many films have been made on this topic, they will focus on the ones they are familiar with and the beginning of it all, where it started and how it evolved. In addition to the main topic, the video also touches on the subject of film preservation and the importance of owning original broadcast prints of films. The hosts express their disbelief at not receiving any residuals from their time on the SBS movie show, despite still being on the network. To sum up, the Untold Radio Network's video on Yeti, Bigfoot, and Sasquatch in cinema is a fascinating exploration of these mythical creatures on film.
