Do you believe in Bigfoot? Despite the title, the latest true crime docuseries from the Duplass Brothers are not here to convince the non-believer. Instead, we are left with a more than compelling whodunit murder mystery reliance on the memories of a bunch of stoners who were more than likely stuck in the nightmare of a turf war amongst cannabis farmers.

The bizarre twenty-five-year-old triple homicide story is dependent on the memories of investigative journalist David Holthouse who recounts – via an animated recreation – the time he spent on a pot farm in Spy Rock, Northern California in 1993. During one hazy night, he recalls someone in their company, panicked, running into their accommodation and revealing three men had been torn to shreds, murdered at the hands of Bigfoot. As so many years have passed his memory has become fogged and embarks on a quest to find out if, what he remembers...

"Now I'm going to tell you the craziest story I've ever heard." Hulu has revealed an official trailer for a new documentary mini-series titled Sasquatch, from producers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass, billed as the executive producers of "Wild Wild Country", which was one of the best doc series I've ever seen. This doc just premiered at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival this week, and it drops on Hulu on 4/20. Because in addition to Bigfoot, there's a big-time marijuana connection as well. Sasquatch is a true crime doc series following investigative journalist David Holthouse as he attempts to solve a bizarre 25-year-old triple homicide that was said to be the work of a mythical creature. But it turns out this is all around a lucrative area in Northern California where they grow a lot of high quality weed, too. This just looks creepy and funny and wild and the quote about...

Could Bigfoot be behind the dozens of missing persons surrounding the Redwoods in Northern California? The various mangled bodies that are discovered in the treacherous woods? Or is there something more sinister at play? The Duplass Brothers-produced documentary series Sasquatch attempts to answer these questions, investigating the myth of Bigfoot and the mysteries of the heavily guarded […]

Hulu has released the trailer for Sasquatch, a three-part documentary series that explores a series of murder investigations in Northern California, which have been linked to both the area’s cannabis farming and its local Bigfoot legends. It premieres April 20th on the streaming platform.

The series was inspired by the work of investigative journalist David Holthouse, who is heavily featured in Sasquatch as both an interview subject and interviewer. In 1993, Holthouse visited the infamous “Emerald Triangle” in Northern California — home to some of the most renowned cannabis growers in...

Does Bigfoot exist? Outside of a grainy, old picture and some eyewitness stories, there isn’t much evidence to support that idea. However, in the upcoming Hulu documentary series, “Sasquatch,” the question is posed once again. And if Bigfoot doesn’t exist, then who the hell tore apart three men in the woods in Northern California near a cannabis farm?

As seen in the trailer for “Sasquatch,” the docuseries follows the story of an investigative journalist that typically finds himself embedded with neo-Nazis and other unsavory folks.

Hulu on Wednesday unveiled premiere dates for its spring slate of original documentaries, including a film on the “cautionary tale” of WeWork and its charismatic co-founder Adam Neumann.

Weighing in with an 11-word title, WeWork: Or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn debuts on the streaming platform April 2. Jed Rothstein directed the documentary exploring the office space-sharing startup that attracted massive investment and then nearly collapsed in a twisted pile of Herman Miller chairs. Neumann, described as a “hippie-messianic leader,” was bought out to the tune of a billion dollars.

As Deadline reported last month, Apple TV+ has separately ordered WeCrashed, a limited series based on the WeWork debacle, to star Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto.

Hulu says its documentary benefits from interviews with “journalists, experts and high-ranking former employees” to tell “one of the biggest corporate flameouts and venture capitalist bubbles in recent years.” Campfire, Forbes and...

STX and Appian Way executive produced.

This Wynonna Earp review contains spoilers.

Wynonna Earp Season 4, Episode 3

In last week’s review, I commented that the episode could have been a (great) season finale. It follows, then, that this week’s episode, “Look at Them Beans,” would have the vibes of a season premiere, which it totally does. New setting! New characters! And new problems for Team Earp to deal with. (That last one is not getting an exclamation point.)

Setting doesn’t just refer to a story’s location, but also a story’s time. Therefore, time jumps are effectively ways of switching up a TV show’s setting in some major, abrupt ways. While the episodic plot in “Look at Them Beans” is a bit cursory, it does serve as a fun, quick vehicle to introduce us to this new setting and the new characters and problems that come with it. When Wynonna is arrested for the murder of Nedley,...

You know how some genre films just have strange backgrounds? People involved that you’d never believe would have anything to do with a horror film? Getaway is one of those films… You see this film is co-written and directed by Lane Toran. Who’s he you might ask? He’s only the voice of Arnold in the classic Nickelodeon cartoon Hey Arnold! and the voice of King Bob in Recess! Yes, a former childrens TV star turns genre filmmaker, its’ safe to say Getaway is worlds apart from those roles – but Toran isn’t the first to make the jump from kids TV to horror and he won’t be the last.

However, judging by Getaway, not only will Toran have...
