In this exclusive Pop Culture Edition of Sasquatch Odyssey, Dani dives headfirst into the world of comics to explore one of the most fascinating pop culture interpretations of Bigfoot: Marvel’s Sasquatch. Created in the late 1970s, Marvel’s Sasquatch isn’t just a towering cryptid lurking in the woods—he’s Dr. Walter Langkowski, a Canadian scientist whose experiments unlock a transformation into a massive, orange-furred creature with superhuman strength.A longtime member of Alpha Flight, Marvel’s premier Canadian superhero team, Sasquatch has stood shoulder to shoulder with legends like Wolverine and the X-Men, bringing the folklore of Bigfoot into the heart of the Marvel Universe.In this episode, Dani paints a vivid picture of the character’s design and evolution: the towering frame, the primal roar, the duality of man and beast. But more than just description, we dig into what this character means. How does Marvel’s Sasquatch reflect our cultural fascination with cryptids? Why do we continually reimagine Bigfoot in new forms—from wilderness monster to sports mascot to superhero? Drawing on psychology and sociology, Dani explores how this superhero iteration taps into deeper human questions: the tension between science and myth, the fear and fascination of transformation, and the way folklore adapts to modern storytelling. By turning Bigfoot into a hero instead of a horror, Marvel redefined the cultural script, showing how the same legend can embody both primal terror and protective strength.And, in true Sasquatch Odyssey fashion, the episode also asks: how do these portrayals ripple back into the real world? Could repeated depictions of Sasquatch as noble or heroic actually shape how people process their own encounters in the wild?Finally, stick around until the end of the episode for a special surprise: Brian joins the conversation to share his take on Marvel’s Sasquatch, and how he sees pop culture constantly influencing real-life beliefs about Bigfoot.This is an episode that blends comics, folklore, psychology, and the enduring mystery of the creature in the woods.Whether you’re a Marvel fan, a Bigfoot believer, or just curious about how myths evolve, this Pop Culture Edition proves one thing: Sasquatch isn’t just hiding in the forest—he’s alive and well in the pages of our favorite comics.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Blackwood Gorge looks like paradise on a postcard—towering firs, crystal streams, and endless trails. But beneath the beauty lies something older than legend, something that’s been watching the woods for longer than humans have walked them. For years, hikers have vanished here, leaving behind only impossible clues: backpacks hanging twenty feet up in the trees, footprints far too large to belong to any man, and wood knocks that echo like warnings in the dark.This is the story of The Huntsman—a serial killer who believed the wilderness would hide his crimes. But Blackwood Gorge was already claimed by another predator, one that knows the difference between the innocent and the guilty. As the body count grows and desperation sets in, the hunter becomes the hunted, and the forest delivers justice in the only way it knows how: primal, ancient, and merciless.⚠️ Listener Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence, murder, psychological terror, and death. It deals with predatory behavior and with forms of justice that exist outside human law. There are scenes of intense fear, bodily harm, and primal horror that may be deeply disturbing to some listeners. This content is absolutely not suitable for younger listeners. If you have children nearby, please use headphones or save this for another time. If you’re sensitive to descriptions of violence or death—or if you’re listening alone in an isolated place—you may want to consider whether this is the right story for you tonight.
