Summary
Harry and the Hendersons, OR A Man Comes to Terms with His Toxic Masculinity by Adding a Cryptid to His Family, OR What If We Were the Monsters All Along? We have some very existential thoughts about an 80’s bigfoot romp, but really, would it be a Spirits episode if we didn’t?
This week, Amanda recommends All My Relations.
Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about guns, hunting, fad diets, and tense parental relationships.

| 0:13.7 | Yeah, we got a good 80s flashback here. |
| 0:16.1 | None of us were born in the 80s, but that's fine. |

| 0:19.6 | That's true. |
| 0:20.4 | Schneider was. |

| 0:48.1 | You know, Julia, who I would want to text the moment I saw Bigfoot for the first time. I think it would be our new patrons. It sure would be. We have two Emily's S. Emily S and Emily S. I'm going to call you Emily's S. |
