Ep. 235: MonsterQuest Is Back - Inside the Reboot with Producer Jared McGilliard

Jan 20, 2026 · Runtime 01:03:33 · From the archive

Producer and filmmaker Jared McGilliard (Nomadica Films) joins Tinfoil Tales to talk about bringing MonsterQuest back and what it took to reboot a show that helped shape modern cryptid media. Jared shares how the new season was built, why they focused on credible first person witnesses, and how they tried to keep the tone objective without turning encounters into cheap sensationalism. They also get into patterns across sightings, why a body is still the line science demands, how AI complicates evidence, and Jared’s own unexplained experience in the Pacific Northwest that still sticks with him.
