It’s a review suggested by our good bud Mae on Instagram…Thanks, Mae! Also, Tom’s back, and he reveals that he’s been digging into the story about how Chris stole an IMDb acting credit (from another guy named Chris Newth) after IMDb listed Highbrow Reviews Chris as the art handler in the 2014 John Travolta & Christopher Plummer movie The Forger.

Hey cutie patooties, we’re going a little scary this week with a review the dark and moody Hulu documentary “Sasquatch” totally high out of our minds (the theme continues!). Max is out this week, so our buddy & recent high Masked Singer reviewer Tom Bensinger stopped by to join Claire & Chris to review all things Bigfoot. We’re talking witches, vampires, and how people on the west coast say Sasquatch while people on the east coast say Bigfoot. Also, which one of us believes in them?...

Today we're joined by UCB comedian Curtis Rainsberry (Key&Peele, Tosh.0, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Attack of the Show) as we get super high and then watch the hit new Netflix show CHEER... not the hit '80s sitcom CHEERS.
