December 11, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 72 MBAfter the rip roaring success of our2 previous deep dives into the world of Netflix original Christmas movies we return with another look into this years line up. We get into the ins and outs of three entries. 'The Noel Diary', 'Christmas With You' and 'Falling for Christmas' are the subjects this year.

November 20, 2022 09:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MBIt's another solo episode today as Andy has been struck down by a virus, so in this shorter mini episode Alex discusses the film 'United Passions' from 2014. A largely self funded FIFA propaganda film, what better way is there to commemorate the start of the 2022 World Cup? I mean, thank goodness this is only a short episode as there probably isn't 90 minutes worth of discussion to be had about this film it's that misguided. Anyway, Alex watched it so you don't have to.
Episode 180: Rando Calrissian 3: Parabellum
November 16, 2022 15:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBWell, here we are. Better late than never right? A nothing episode for a week where we genuinely had nothing to do and still managed to not release it in time. It's what we in the industry regard as a fallow week for podcasting and as a result it's mainly chat with very little point to it. Enjoy!

September 11, 2022 15:00 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MBAll the uproar and internet chatter surrounding the premiere of Olivia Wilde's new film "Don't Worry Darling" got us thinking here at Dinosaur Man HQ about other productions where on set or off set antics overshadowed the release of the film, for better or for worse. We look at famous examples of nightmare productions, casting clashes and attempted murder. Strap in for a wild ride!

August 14, 2022 21:00 - 11 minutes - 8.14 MBSo due to reasons out of our hands we were unable to get together and record a new episode for you.

Episode 174: The Continuing Saga of Resident Evil Adaptations
July 24, 2022 20:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBMild Spoiler Warning! With the recent release of Netflix’s new series ‘Resident Evil’, the boys talk about it in a loose sense, what it manages to do well and less well. They also compare it to other screen adaptations with particular focus on the Paul W S Anderson films which originated at the start of the century. It’s a very loose discussion that wanders between points without too much connective tissue, so in actual fact it’s the perfect representation of the Resident Evil franchise wh...

We were definitely always going to do this episode this week and we promise it's not because Alex couldn't be bothered to think of another idea for an episode topic.

June 27, 2022 18:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBSo that time has finally come and The Flash movie from Warner Brothers and DC has finally been released to cinemas for our viewing pleasure. So we figured this is the perfect time to do a full in depth spoiler review.

Episode 169: Doctor Mordrid (The Original Multiverse of Madness)
May 01, 2022 13:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBIn anticipation of this week's release of 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', we take a look at another alternate reality in the world of the sorcerer supreme, 1992's 'Doctor Mordrid'. This Full Moon project originally started life as an official Doctor Strange film but rights lapsed and rewrites were hastily done, resulting in this odd concoction of not quite right replacements for many of the elements of the superhero property, whilst also retaining a sense of fun and shlockine...

April 24, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBThis week it's Alex's turn to have watched too many things and try to fit them into one regularly sized episode. Andy has seen box office juggernaut 'The Batman' and reveals whether he found this installment in the franchise managed to work its magic on him. Alex has a real feast of horror to review, with 'Amulet', 'A Banquet' and 'Master' all coming from female filmmakers.

Episode 168: Cinematic Resurrections
April 18, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBTo tie in with Easter, this year the boys look at notable resurrections in mostly cinema history, from long dormant horror franchise reboots, transforming robots and secret agents we cover a range of examples that show the best and worst of what can happen when a franchise rises from the dead.
