Interviewing Monsters and Bigfoot

Right, well from the movie's title, then I thought I would be in for something funny, and perhaps even something unique. And I saw the movie was listed as a comedy, so I had some hopes for "Interviewing Monsters and Bigfoot".

Turns out that this was a big steaming pile of... Well, you get my meaning here. Let's just sober up and be civil. This movie was bad in many, many ways. So bad, in fact, that I only managed to suffer through 35 minutes of the 2019 ordeal that is known as "Interviewing Monsters and Bigfoot".

I had problems getting into the storyline, and it didn't really help me much as there was literally nothing worthwhile to witness. Nor did it help that the characters in the movie were flaccid, bland and every bit as pointless as the storyline.

Whatever it was that writer and director Thomas Smugala was trying to accomplish with this movie, it was a massive swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. And I can in all honesty say that I have no intention of ever returning to watch the rest of the movie, because it just failed to appeal to me on any level.

My rating of the movie lands on a two out of ten stars, mostly given the effort and production level put into the project.

What exactly led me to the doorstep of this film? It's my penchant for all things Sasquatch and Bigfoot related. Now I know, this is a bizarre fascination to have but I have always enjoyed the idea of a race of furry monsters living in the subterranean cave systems of the Pacific Northwest.

Of course, this film is based in Missouri, which does have some cave systems but then again, those caves are used for fermenting cheese and stuff. That is real, look it up. And then the fact this is supposed to be a comedy...ugh.

Admittedly, there were a couple funny bits, but beyond that, this movie turned into an incoherent mess. First of all, it had no idea whether it wanted to be a weird folk tale, a mockumentary or something else entirely. It was a jarring mess to say the least, as suddenly we were introduced to random characters that played no role later in the movie.

The plot is equally messy, with a Sasquatch hunter trying to get evidence that the beast exists while the government supposedly is trying to stop him. It goes back and forth with various plot lines and it ultimately stumbles into a jumbled ending that came out of nowhere.

This movie was bad. So bad I don't ever want to visit Missouri because of it. So bad I kinda wished Tom Green didn't beat his cancer. Okay that was a low blow, but what was he doing in this? It's not like his name recognition brought any additional laughs. For the most part, he played a straight man and this "comedy" as a whole was played straight. Either way, this is an atrocity and I don't recommend you watch it. Watch Suburban Sasquatch or something else Sasquatch adjacent.

This movie was so unexpected. I loved the dark twisted humor and the fact it wasn't predictable. It is definitely on my watch again list for this weekend! Wish it was on the big screen.

Hairy Hunks,Chicks,Boobs,Gore,Guns, good music and outdoor sets, so many script gems, big hilarious and little awesome details in there (hence worth watching in full), really great, visibly ambitous, motivated and professional appearing actors full of potential, quite extensive props & not cheap production, certainly not a 3man thing... in cooperation with Max Landis it would have been epic!

And Last but not least (should be at the top really) tribute to the crafty and always cheerful Jessie Combs: Rest in Peace - she left this earth while breaking the land speed record in the Oregon's Alvord Desert on August 27 averaging 522mph shortly before the front wheel failed. One of a kind woman. She will be well remembered (read up Wikipedia for details if you dont know her) RIP

Anyone who knows anything about Bigfoot, will realize this is just another exploitation of the subject. I enjoy some of the low budget Bigfoot parody movies, but when Rick Dyer shows up in a Bigfoot movie, playing himself, you know it's junk.
