Tahoe Joe (2022)

After seeing several videos of local Sasquatch Tahoe Joe, Dillon and Mike decide to make a documentary about him. The first video they see was shot by Shane Patterson and part of it resembles the famous Patterson Bigfoot film.  The second video was provided by Jaylin, whose dad Toma was dragged out his tent in the night while looking for Tahoe Joe.

Jaylin’s whole focus is finding his dad, but when they go to scout the area, he refuses to leave the car.  Mike says he can stay at his house with his sons until they get back, which is odd.  Mike tells his girlfriend he’s going on a business trip and asks his son to let her know if anything happens to him. Mike’s son thinks he’s an ass.

They hire Shane who shot the footage to guide them to the sight of the video. As they’re getting their gear out of the truck, Mike pulls out a massive gun.  Shane refuses to guide them unless they leave it behind. He also says electronics won’t work in the woods because the government is monitoring everyone who goes in.  Dillon and Mike hope he’s wrong as they ready their cameras, drones, go-pros and phones. When the drone stops working, Dillon says he’s programmed the electronics  to upload to the cloud so they won’t lose any footage. Wouldn’t they need service for that?

After setting up camp, they discover Shane has a gun. When they question him, he says he brought it  since he doesn’t trust them or like them because they act like this is just a big joke. He walks off into the woods to get away from them. Later that night Dillon and Mike find out there really is something in the out there.

There’s not a lot of action in this.  The footage shot by Tomas is tedious and could be completely abandoned since it can be summed up by saying he disappeared while looking for evidence of Tahoe Joe.  Instead we get lots of footage of him repeatedly stating he just arrived somewhere, reading a map, or setting up his tent. We also have to listen to what sounds like him chewing gum or maybe food, which is just gross. Plus the camera swings around too fast which made me slightly motion sick. Overall the acting isn’t the best either.

Ridiculous dialogue

I couldn’t find anything. No evidence.

I am one hundred percent convinced that is Tahoe Joe. No doubt.

After all those years of looking for Tahoe Joe, I finally found his ass.

Crouching in the dark with a light on

Uhh Shane? Are you okay?

Watch as he films himself reading a map

Wearing a go pro at your laptop looks pretty silly

Another Patterson Bigfoot
