Bigfoot Witness: The Jason Morse Story (2022)

A real nothingburger of a documentary concocted by and starring a pair of desperately bored (and boring) Bigfoot witnesses who, armed with appropriately shoddy cameras, spend much of their time trawling the wilds of Kentucky in hot pursuit of the 9-foot tall cryptid that one of them swears to have seen multiple times. At one point they're just walking around the woods looking at broken branches, all of which they deduce to be the work of Bigfoot - the pesky scamp. They never do discover the nefarious purpose of these branch-breaking exercises but I assume it to be spectacular. Naturally, there's no actual evidence or compelling footage presented, although we do get a close-up of an indistinct blur.
