DragonKing Dark: When Andre the Giant played a bionic Bigfoot
This week on the DragonKing Dark Podcast, I look back at the popular 1970s television series The Six Million Dollar Man when Bigfoot was part of the plot.
Not only does Bigfoot arrive on the show in 1975, but he has bionic enhancements as well and was played by both Andre the Giant and Ted Cassidy. Here’s Andre if you want to check it out.
I also talk about Bigfoot hysteria in the 1970s and how pop culture treated the myth, a show perfect for Bigfoot lovers like Bryan Alvarez.
