55 years ago this week, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin recorded the iconic footage of Bigfoot walking through the woods of Bluff Creek, California. Decades later, the film has become the iconic symbol of cryptozoology and in this awesome giant-sized anniversary episode, Jack and Artie are joined by some squatching legends to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the Patterson/Gimlin film.

First we are joined by the legendary Cliff Barackman, known as the research analyst on the Animal Planet series "Finding Bigfoot". Cliff has made all kinds of revolutionary discoveries within the world of sasquatch and is the curator of the North American Bigfoot Center in Oregon. Cliff comes on to the show to talk about his thoughts on the legacy of the PGF, the crazy adventures he went on during his televised search for bigfoot and the recent discoveries he's been making at his base of operations in Oregon.

Next we are joined by documentary filmmaker extraordinaire Aleksandar Petakov, known for his cryptozoology films like Sasquatch: Out of the Shadows, On the Trail of Champ and the currently running beyond the trail YouTube series. We interview Aleksandar about the time's he's come closest to catching a bigfoot on camera, some good places in New Hampshire to go squatching and what it was like appearing in a comic book.

Huge shout out to Cliff Barackman and Aleksandar Petakov for making such an awesome episode possible!!!
