15 Things You Didn’t Know About Bigfoot (#1 Will Blow Your Mind!) is a mockumentary that sounds like it is going to be about the iconic cryptid. While Bigfoot is an integral part, it is more of a commentary on clickbait media. Brian (Brian Emond) is a reporter for a VICE-like website. When he is sent to investigate Bigfoot for another sensationalized fluff piece, he stumbles upon a real story.
1. The movie premiered as The VICE Guide to Bigfoot,
2. Plenty of films have skewered salacious news outlets. Even the most serious Bigfoot documentaries are treated as jokes. In other words, 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Bigfoot has an uphill battle.
