Movie Review: 15 Things You Didn't Know About Bigfoot (#1 Will Blow Your Mind) (2019)

Synopsis: Brian dreams of being an award-winning broadcast journalist but instead has a career making "click bait" videos for the internet, causing him to grow increasingly frustrated. This includes his latest assignment, going into the Georgia woods with a Bigfoot hunter for a week. However, that assignment ends up with a surprise discovery.

Who's in it? The movie stars Brian Emond, Mo Arora, Justin Beaudrot, William Childress, Will Copeland and Kimberly Hamilton. 


Review: I came across this movie on Paramount Plus some time ago and was intrigued by it but also knew it would likely be a movie my wife wouldn't enjoy. As a result, I waited until yesterday evening, when she was at martial arts classes, to watch it. I was right about it being a movie she wouldn't enjoy and my own opinion is a bit mixed.

First of all, and I'm sorry for the spoiler but it's kind of important, this movie is by design, a click bait movie. If you think you are going to get a film about Bigfoot, you're wrong. And you certainly won't learn 15 things about him. 

That said, the film still proved to be somewhat interesting, mostly because it was as much about the "journalism" world as it was anything else, and the way anyone with a camera can be an internet celebrity even if all they are recording is garbage. The fact Brian (Emond) was attempting to find something truly newsworthy and kept getting stuck with garbage only added to that message.

I thought some of the comedy in the movie fell a little flat. However, I did appreciate the way the film managed to throw in just enough twists to keep me interested, whether it was Brian thinking he spotted Bigfoot watching him through the forest or him discovering what secrets were really hidden in the woods. And I'll admit, the ending was better than expected, with his life seemingly on the line only to have one last twist tying into an earlier story he did. It was just ridiculous enough to be memorable while getting one last jab in regarding the point the movie was trying to make.

Final Opinion: This isn't going to be a film for everyone, and you certainly should not let the title fool you. However, I thought it was just unique enough to be worth watching and, while my opinion was mixed, I didn't hate it.

My Grade: B-

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

Image
  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when my wi

Review of Paws Happy Life Cat Food

Image
We have two cats in our house and they seem to go through a ton of cat food, to the point I feel like I'm constantly having to buy more. Adding to this is the fact my cats are apparently very picky about the food they eat and, even though they will occasionally eat Friskies canned food (my preference because it is cheaper and comes in bigger cans), they aren't overly thrilled with it and, instead, seem to have a preference for Fancy Feast (which is, of course, more expensive and comes in smaller cans). Having been a cat parent long enough to know the whole "let them go hungry until they eat it" trick doesn't work, at least if I don't want my cats keeping me up all night or getting on the counters/in the garbage, I have mostly just given up and purchased the more expensive cans of food for them. However, when I was at the grocery store last night (once again, for the sole purpose of buying cat food), I noticed the store added this brand to the shelf. Thi

Review of Pep's Drafthaus Prohibition Special Pizza

Image
My wife and I didn't have solid dinner plans last night so, as is usually the case when that happens, I wound up stopping at the grocery store on my way home and picking up a couple frozen pizzas for dinner. Since my daughters just like cheese pizza, I wound up getting them a cheap brand. But, I was in the mood to try something a little different so, after some consideration, I purchased the Pep's Drafthaus Prohibition Special for my wife and I. At $8.99, this pizza was more expensive than I would normally prefer to spend on a frozen pizza and, because of that, I did have some second thoughts about my purchase. However, cooking this pizza on our pizza oven last night and giving it a try, I do have to say I was very impressed with it. One of the reasons I took a chance on this brand when I saw it in the freezer was it looked like it had quite a few toppings on it. This included a lot of cheese, sausage, mushrooms, pepperoni, peppers and onions. Since lack of topping
