About this episode

The episode discusses the first big-budget dinosaur film, 'The Lost World' (1925), exploring its themes, restoration, and cultural implications.

Behold the first big-budget dinosaur flick! Before King Kong, these dinos romped and stomped their way into our stop-motion hearts. With adventure, romance, and comedy what's not to love? Ooohh, right, right right right right... the terribly-outdated-and-offensive-racial-depictions-of-a-century-old-movie. Right...well...um... it all makes for meaningful conversation! Plus, the miraculous restoration work on the film, O'Brien's early dino shorts, the concept of time, demons in the Answering Machine Zone and more! It's an action packed episode worthy of THE LOST WORLD. Thank you for listening!
