    Agreed with what Joe said in the beginning. Classic movie for me... Was in the rental rotation for years from the local mom and pop store and on TV as often as I could. It's been years since I've watched it but I absolutely need to watch it again. Glad you guys covered this one, loved it.

    35:37 fun fact related to Chewbacca, while they were filming the Endor scenes for Return of the Jedi the director told Peter Mayhew not to wander off in the forest because hunters might think he’s Bigfoot.

    Thanks for doing this! One of my favorite family films and childhood movies in general. This was one of my taped off of HBO movies that I would constantly put on. All around great movie with so much heart. Definitely one of those creature lover gateway drug movies.

    It aired on HBO a lot. The SWAT team running past the Space Needle blew my mind because it was the first movie I saw filmed in my home city.
    Funny, we know about Harry, and Predator, but the actor was a cop boyfriend for one of the characters in a show called 227. (He was in drag in one episode)

    I’m just now watching this as I type this, I love this movie!
    I saw it in elementary school, when he was trying to make him leave so he’ll be safe so he had to be mean to him, I cried.
    This movie was emotional and I freakin’ love John Lithgow!
    I enjoyed the tv show too.
    I’m going to enjoy this review.

    "You know what they say about a guy with big feet..." Fantastic episode, guys! All of the Bigfoot dong jokes had me rolling on the floor laughing. Seeing part of this on TV in the early 90s was one of those very early childhood memories I have. I was in my Grandma's house, watching the big wooden TV with my Uncle Dan. It might have been the same day I saw Romancing the Stone, specifically the part where the crocodile bites the bad guy's hand off!

    I worked in a gun store in 2020, the flood of newbies and the questions they asked was that scene with George in the store every day for months. I was tempted to do the bit about the "BIG, BIG guns and the BIG, BIG ammo," but figured no one would get it.
    "Do you have any machine guns?"
    "What's your biggest gun?"
    "I just want something to scare them."
    "Where are the sawed-off shotguns?"
    "Do you have silver bullets?"
    My favorite was, "Do you have anything illegal?"

    Love you all for the little nemo love. It started as a comic strip from the 1900s. The movie you mentioned is a half japanese half american production. The game... well there is 2. An arcade cabnet thats kind of a beat em up thats fun, and the nes game which i beat but is quite honestly one of the hardest games i ever played... totally different game from the arcade one. Winsor mckay wrote little nemo and based him off his child. He also is basically an animation pioneer and you can find his little nemo animation and an animation he did where he interacts with a dinosaur on youtube and its neat. Its all silent movie like. Little nemo as a franchise doesn't get enough love, and either does Windsor McKay

    When Lithgow's dad/boss altered the face of the Harry artwork to look more menacing, instantly i thought of "Fluffy" from Creepshow. So does this mean "the Crate" was anti-bigfoot propaganda? no, but Harry & Fluffy do have similar face structure though.

      @MovieDumpster  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Technically Fluffy is a Yeti, but much different than the one Meatloaf was after. Maybe being locked in a crate and forgotten under the stairs for 100 years turned Fluffy into a ravenous monster 😂

    I'm glad you brought up the TV series, as in a way, that is what I'm more familiar with. Mainly because dad had an episode of the TV series on tape, this one with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Guessing was back when he was in WWF. Yeah, dad was the one who got me into wrestling, specially Undertaker since I was always into Horror Movies, and Taker felt like a Horror Movie Character come to life. So, the movie, I do have in my Streaming Library, bought it on sale a few years ago, mainly because I remember that TV episode, but not watched it yet. That's why I say I'm more familiar with the TV show. As for the trying stuff, if I had the money, I'll be more than willing to do a Jen Tries of the Urge, mostly because I like Surge, but the old cookies, no thanks. 😉😂🤣 Yeah, last gaming session, went ahead and finished off those podcasts posted prior to finding this channel. Now just a few more left of those posted since then. If all goes well, probably next gaming session, I'll be all caught up. Mainly saying that because I'm seeing how long Trilogy of Terror is, so that would most likely be the last one for tonight's gaming session. We'll see, maybe I might still squeeze in Dog Soldier, but if not, those last two should be doable next session I do believe. Thank you, really has been fun listening to these in the background.

    I LOVE Harry and the Hendersons. It is the best looking Bigfoot imo. However, my favorite Bigfoot movie is a lot more recent - 2014’s Exists. Concepts like Bigfoot are perfect for the Found Footage genre, and it works well in Exists. Of course, Exists doesn’t have the talent of John Lithgow, so there’s an unfortunate thing.
    To be clear, Harry and the Hendersons, as a family Bigfoot movie IS the best (are there more family oriented Bigfoot movies?). Harry and the Hendersons is easily my #2 favorite Bigfoot movie.
