    Episode 115: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
    Nov 9 2025
    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). We talk about lumpers, splitters, slappers, clappers, and everything you ever wanted to know about our fine feathered friends.

    Episode 114: The Lost Tribe (2009)
    Oct 26 2025

    We’re continuing spooky month with a movie that’s as confused about theology as it is about evolution: The Lost Tribe (2009) tells the story of some insufferable tech bros and their girlfriends who stumble into the middle of a Catholic conspiracy to cover-up undeniable proof of human evolution, in the form of a bloodthirsty tribe of “primevil” hominins!

    Oct 12 2025

    It’s October, and as is tradition, we’re reviewing scary Halloween movies this month! First up is Legend of the Bog (2009), a movie with just enough Vinnie Jones in it to justify putting him on the cover. You’ve seen mummies; you’ve seen zombies; but what about a resurrected Iron Age bog body? Plus: a special guest appearance from a Sp0okY Gh0st!

    Episode 110: Uncharted (2022) with Rachel McMullan
    Aug 31 2025

    On this episode we’re joined by OG archaeology YouTuber Rachel McMullan of the channel Inside Archaeology to review Uncharted (2022), a movie that explores many diverse settings, none of which are uncharted. It’s a movie that defies physics, and logic, and sense, and yet somehow feels like a bland rehash of other movies we’ve covered.

    Today we’re joined by Dr. Brian Buchanan to review King Arthur (2004), a modern retelling of the ancient myth based on “recently discovered archaeological evidence,” allegedly. Brain leads us on a journey beyond Hadrian’s Wall and helps us tease apart this movie’s tangled mess of Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Picts, Sarmatians, and more.

    Today we’re joined by professor/filmmaker/archaeologist Rob Rownd to review The Dig (2021), a film which tells the (mostly) true story of the Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon ship burial excavation of 1939.
