Ep 253 Troll Hunter

It’s episode 253 and once again we’ve decided to commemorate the UK’s unprecedented heatwave by returning to the snowy mountains of Norway, for 2010’s “Troll Hunter”. A shocking exposé of Norway’s Cryptid problem; in which we learn how bears walk; how Trolls stink and the real story behind overhead power lines. A winning combination of found footage and mockumentary made “Troll Hunter” a breath of fresh mountain air when it first appeared, and that freshness has remained. A sardonic take on Cryptid Hunting as Government-run pest control, with bags of red tape, poorly thought out cover stories and leadership incompetence this is a workplace comedy with added monsters, and effects that stand up to this day. With a hefty knowledge of Norwegian folklore, and a spot on cast, “Troll Hunter” deserves to be considered a classic horror comedy. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
