SPEAKER_05 3:27

Uh I'm getting it. It's been what? It's been months, four months, five months, whatever it's been. Um let's see. What should we do? Should we do water power finally? Or talking about that making a little message. Um well, we have been on a cryptid kick lately, right? Well over over a year we've been talking about cryptids.

SPEAKER_02 3:55

Okay. Um I was like, What is the quintessential cryptid movie?

SPEAKER_05 3:58

Well, I was gonna suggest Sasquatch Sunset, but there's really no dialogue in that almost at all. Tough to talk about. Great movie. How about uh we stick with Bigfoot and we do we do a little Harry and the Henderson's? Oh, I was a chance.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

Harry and the Handys. Harry and the Handies with some chicken tendies.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Stabby Stabby, and welcome to Stabby Stabby, a podcast that talks about weird movies, horror movies, exploitation movies, just trash films, and also family films, I guess. Sometimes.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Um, you're a bad parent and you just make your kids watch 70s exploitation films. Oh, no, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

That's a family film. That's the best kind of parent. Um yeah, and and today uh we're we're back with Greg Scripted Corner Patreon exclusive. So um, if you're if you're a member of our Patreon, you're listening to this, and you're honestly, you're probably the most handsome and prettiest person I've ever seen in my entire life. It's true, it's actually true. Um, but I'm one of your hosts, Greg, and uh uh going old school today. I'm drinking a uh Forest in Maine No Kings Pale Ale. Right. Oh, yummy. It's 4.6 percent. Uses Challenger hops. It's a British style pale ale. That's that's I'm just reading the can at this point. Dan, how are you today?

SPEAKER_02 5:59

I'm doing good. I'm nestled back into my sweet, sweet couch spot. And today, guys, I'm flying light. I'm just drinking a little lime seltzer. Uh so I will not be drunk in this episode. I'm so sorry. Uh, but I will be very hydrated, so that's maybe I'll try to I'll try to wet my lips a lot so I do that that smacking thing on the microphone so people know how hydrated I am. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, so be like wet ASMR the whole time. Eric, are you there? I'm here. I'm here.

SPEAKER_05 6:26

I'm drinking a Tonewood Brewing Company Fuego. It has a picture of a campfire at night on the front. It's a like Drag Scripted Corner. Exactly. It looks very similar to the artwork. Um, it is a 6.2% IPA. It's handcrafted in New Jersey. Uh, it's made with Citrus Simcoe and mosaic hops. And I just noticed on the bottom of the can, for some reason, the the expiration stamp or the brood stamp or whatever. It says big apple. I'm not quite sure why. And then the date is October 20th, 2025. No, but it still tastes fine. I don't know. What do I know? It's I mean, it's in a can. How much can it age in a can? Yeah. Beer in a can. Tastes good to me. Anyway, that's enough about my beer. You guys, you guys ready to do some sasquatching in Seattle?

SPEAKER_01 7:24

I this is exciting because I have barely watched movies since this show ended, by the way. Are you serious? Yeah, I don't watch a lot of I I just I go into little rabbit holes on YouTube and I fall asleep on the couch a lot. I just yeah, I don't watch too many movies, so I'm excited like get back into Stabby Stabby and and rekindle my my love of trash cinema.

SPEAKER_02 7:49

Oh man, I I've been watching crazy amounts of movies. I probably watched like four a week, but they've all been new releases that I pick for myself. It's very nice. I've enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_05 8:01

Yeah, I've been new releasing it too. Um did you see there's a 4K transfer of this coming out?

SPEAKER_01 8:08

I did, and I'm probably gonna buy it. Yeah, why? Because it's Arian Anderson's, and I grew up on this film.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

All right, that's fair. Uh not why would you buy it? I understand you buy anything. I'm I'm wondering why would this movie get the 4K treatment? I feel like it the copy that I watched was like 720p, and even that was maybe too high death. I want to see this on VHS, you know? Yeah. I want it to be like a little blurry.

SPEAKER_05 8:34

Yeah, yeah. It's uh Kino Lorber. It's a 4K scan of the original camera negatives. That would be interesting to see. Um, one other thing before we get in, just a little home uh housekeeping. Um so there was a TV show. I've never seen it. Do you guys remember this? Nope. So I I thought I saw the film, but I might be remembering the TV show. I I or both. I I really don't remember, but um 70 some episodes.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

72, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

What's insane? Starting in like the early 90s, 91.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

That's insane. How many plots can you come up with with a bigfoot? It's a lot.

SPEAKER_05 9:21

That's a lot, a lot of television. And I sent you guys, I don't think you've probably had a chance to listen to it, but the theme song, Digital Institute. Yeah, it's called Your Feet's Too Big, and it's performed by none other than Leon Redbone, and it's amazing. It's amazing. I wish they would have used it in the original film, but uh now I want to watch these 72. Maybe we should rent a cabin in the woods and watch all 72.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

I agree. I'd I might go insane. So you guys will have to strap me to the chair and take my eyes open.

SPEAKER_00 9:54

Down, you just too much feet. Your feet's too big. Don't watch because your feet's too big. Can't you use because your feet's too big? I love because your feet's too big.

unknown 10:10

Oh, your feet's too big.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

All 72 episodes apparently are available on Tubi, so there you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:18

Do you think they have a very special episode of Harry and the Hendersons where like Harry finds a little baggie of marijuana, you know, and like does hard drugs.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

I hope so. I would love to see a drug Bigfoot episode. Oh, episode 18 of season one is called Harry and the Cheerleaders. So I pretty sure I know what I'm saying. Watch out.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

Should we dive into this movie? Is the time? Is the time?
