S1E20 | Movie: Harry and the Hendersons

You’ve just finished packing up the elaborate family camp site, you’re doing 60 MPH down a dirt road in a station wagon, completely blinded by sunlight, and you knock a Bigfoot unconscious. What’re you supposed to do!? Join John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon, and 6’ 9” Kevin Peter Hall as we take this 1987 family comedy back to class to find out how it holds up and dive into the world of cryptozoology, Patterson-Gimlin footage, and a slew of pop culture portrayals of our favorite elusive woodland ape. Let's get squatchy!
