An upcoming trip to Appalachia has Olivia thinking about creatures of myth and legend, so she and Shauna explore the spooky, scary and sometimes silly world of cryptids, and how they are represented in pop culture. After defining what a cryptid is and isn't (sorry, Slenderman fans, your guy isn't one), the Junkies discuss their favorite cryptids, discuss the movies and TV shows they appear in, and figure out which ones they could and could not take in a one-on-one fight. If they ever come up against a Fresno Nightcrawler, a sentient pair of pants, both feel they could win easily. But if they meet Bigfoot, they'll almost certainly surrender.
