Review: On the Trail of UFOs Episodes 3

Review: On the Trail of UFOs Episodes 3 - 6

Small Town Monsters continues its exploration of the UFO phenomenon with this comprehensive and insightful series. This next run of episodes takes us from East Coast forests to the deserts of Nevada, and places in between.

With the history of UFOs already established, host Shannon Legro and the Small Town Monsters team explore UFO hotspots like Sedona, Chestnut Ridge and the forests around New York. And yes, they make a stop at Area 51, right when the Storm Area 51 craze took off.

Legro and company discuss the relationship between UFO and Bigfoot sightings, the possibility aliens aren't necessarily from space, and John Keel's Ultrabeing theories. This is done through interviews with researchers, historians and an impressive collection of UFO witnesses. They also touch on how popular media like The X-Files and Project Blue Book influence our perception of the phenomena.

As with the first two episodes, and Small Town Monsters's growing list of docs, On the Trail of UFOs continues to be an entertaining mix of interviews, re-enactments and on-the-ground investigations. These episodes are among the most visually impressive, given the ground the filmmakers literally cover. And, as always, I appreciate how they present all the facts as they know them, and leave it up to us viewers to decide what, if anything, is going on.

There's still an episode or two to go, and Shawn and I look forward to seeing them. Whether you're a believer or not, we highly recommend this series. It continues to be a Good.

Small Town Monsters has a Kickstarter campaign underway for future project. Go here now and throw them some support!

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
