Show Notes
In this two-part episode, I sit down with Capturing Bigfoot director Marq Evans, producer Tamir Ardon, and Roger Patterson’s son, Clint Patterson, before sharing my own conclusions about the documentary and its newly discovered footage.
Part One: The InterviewMarq and Tamir discuss audience reactions, the newly discovered 40-second reel, and the questions surrounding when it was filmed. Clint recounts his mother telling him that Bob Heironimus was in the suit, the eight-year estrangement over his plans to write a book, and the answers he wishes his father had given him. The filmmakers also respond directly to Russell Acord’s recent claims about Clint, the footage, licensing, and Bob Gimlin’s interview. Clint closes with his hope of sitting down with Gimlin in Yakima.
Part Two: My Reaction and AnalysisAfter attending the October 13 screening at New People Cinema in San Francisco, I walk through what I saw and why I’ve concluded the Patterson-Gimlin film was a hoax. I examine the witnesses’ identification of the horseman as Bob Gimlin, comparisons with the Bluff Creek footage, and the financial and licensing history behind the film.I also address the disputed dates, processing timeline, possibility of a later reenactment, anatomical arguments, and Gimlin’s on-camera reaction to seeing the reel.
Along the way, I tackle the backlash to my position and acknowledge the unanswered questions and weak points in the case.I distinguish documented evidence, witness accounts, disputed claims, and my own conclusions. My position is my own, and I encourage you to watch the documentary, examine the evidence, and decide for yourself.
