Episode #59: 1967 Timeline Twist & The Patterson-Gimlin Film

Frame 352 from the Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot film

3/5/2025: On today’s episode, Valerie presents a most eventful year in American history including war protests, race rebellions, the early Apollo program, the introduction of some well-known junk food, music in the Summer of Love, questionable recipes, and fashion & feminism in the music-heavy 1967 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo breaks down the long history of the wild man of the woods, who, in the mid 20th century became Bigfoot, thanks to several West Coast incidents that spurred interest in the creature. When Patterson and Gimlin happened upon the “real thing” in 1967, they unknowingly captured the most widely viewed footage besides the Zapruter film. But is it real?
