Hello new followers! If you found us on an archaeology starter pack, welcome! We review movies about prehistory, archaeology, and palaeontology - from classics like Clan of the Cave Bear to obscure and inexplicable title like Neander-Jin. You can listen on all the usual podcast platforms!
We’ve dug too far! We overshot the Stone Age and hit the Dinosaur Age again! Today we’re joined by palaeontologist Joe Wood to review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), the second movie in the Jurassic franchise (and the last good one) 🧪🦖🦕
