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

  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 ...

Jen's Family Table Sloppy Joe Meat

  I had been eying this product at Kwik Trip for a few weeks now and, needing something for dinner last night, decided to finally purchase it (though, admittedly, my first plan was to get their taco meat, which ended up being sold out). After trying it, my opinion wound up being mixed. There were a couple things I really liked about this product. One of the main ones was the price. A 1-pound package cost $3.49. A pound of hamburger currently costs about $5, and that's only if I happen to find it on sale. When you add in the cost of a can of sloppy Joe sauce , this product ends up costing half as much as the way we usually make sloppy Joes. I also found I liked the convenience. Since the meat is already cooked, all I had to do was warm it up in the microwave for a couple minutes rather than frying the burger, draining the grease, and adding the can of sauce. The pre-cooked meat also meant I was getting what I was purchasing, it didn't cook down into a smaller quantity. Taste-wis...

It's been a while since I've been able to get out for a walk with my camera, mostly because of the wet weather we've had. I didn't know how muddy the trails would be, but I decided to get out today and, while I didn't go as far into the park as I normally would, managed to get some photos. Here are several of them: ____________________________________________________________________________ Here are some of my previous nature photos: Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/19/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/14/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/20/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/24/2026)
