Meet the Bigfoot experts who took Jeff Goldblum Sasquatch hunting on Mount Shasta for Disney Plus

Not Bigfoot. He and his wife Dana, professional paranormal investigators, have spent countless hours in the woods searching for the mythic Sasquatch in their careers. What he couldn’t believe was that Jeff Goldblum, the multi-hyphenate renaissance man who’s experiencing a late-career renaissance of his own, was asking for the Newkirks to take him Bigfoot hunting for his Disney Plus show.

On “The World According to Jeff Goldblum,” the actor takes a deep dive into one seemingly familiar topic for each episode. On the first season, which aired in late 2019 and early 2020 and earned an Emmy nomination for outstanding hosted nonfiction series, the actor explored things like tattoos, sneakers and ice cream. For season two, the first five episodes of which drop today on Disney Plus, he’s exploring topics like fireworks, magic and — this is where the Newkirks come in — monsters.

“At first glance, no matter what, most people always think the existence of Bigfoot is weird and strange,” Greg Newkirk said, “but the more you actually dig into Bigfoot and the legends and experiences that people had, you realize that Bigfoot is much weirder than you initially thought.”

The thing is, the Newkirks aren’t traditional Bigfoot hunters like the cryptozoologists (those who study legendary animals like the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti) who appear on shows like “Expedition Bigfoot,” traversing the woods looking for physical evidence of cryptids.

I thought he died. Goldblum that is.

I think his first, huge break came in, “The Fly” when he was married to Gina Davis.

Before that, was his TV show; "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe".

Les Stroud went on a Bigfoot outing and turned off all of his cameras with people telling him the theory that Bigfoot won’t show up with cameras/electronics around.

The following day he said he and his partner saw some orbs that hung out around their camp for a long time (hours?) And they heard heavy footsteps out beyond the range of their campfire.

Who knows, but I think Stroud is a pretty straight shooter. Even after all of that he left it something like “I can’t explain what happened. And their may be a reasonable explanation. But that is what I observed. And you can chose to believe that, or believe that I’m making it all up.”

The last couple of weeks I’ve been out after dark in the woods in the Pacific Northwest. Alone. I have not viewed any Bigfoot videos in awhile!

I recall my high-school science teacher telling us about the sound a Bobcat (or some sort of cat, not a cougar) makes. He said it sounds like a woman screaming as she is getting murdered.
