Dinosaurs – The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast

‘Rhamphorhynchus’ Is Hard to Pronounce

Strap on your scuba gear, because Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M., the Mistress of Malapropisms.

Review in a Nutshell: A groovy, boozy Seventies movie with a fashionably hard-boiled geologist protagonist and a pair of completely inert giant “dinosaurs”, Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds was allegedly the most expensive science fiction film yet produced by Toei Studios when it premiered in 1977. It’s a baffling little creature feature with lots of symbolic camera-work and questionable wardrobe choices.

“Now, pretend like it’s killing you!”

Cavemen with Laser Rifles, Pew Pew.

Hold on to your fur boots and your flint ax-heads, because Yor: The Hunter from the Future is undeniably The Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherin the Great.

Review in a Nutshell: A zany mash-up of post-apocalyptic and prehistoric films, Yor: The Hunter from the Future is buoyed up by the charming performance of Reb Brown as a futuristic caveman with perfect hair and a winning smile. Also included are lethal robots, savage tribes, and giant rubber dinosaurs.

FINAL THOUGHT:

The infamous hang-gliding scene.

Dinosaur Disco Fever

Fry up some chicken, because Carnosaur is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherin the Great.

Review in a Nutshell: Carnosaur is a gruesome, low-budget, Roger Corman-produced Jurassic Park knock-off. Katherin does not appreciate its many rich, deep layers of nuance and social commentary.

Donkeys have HUGE ears.

Saddle up your burro, because The Valley of Gwangi is the Greatest Movie EVER!

featuring M.O.M., the Mistress of Malapropisms.

Review in a Nutshell: Essentially a re-telling of King Kong without the troubling racial subtext, The Valley of Gwangi pits real cowboys against stop-motion animation dinosaurs. The visual effects by Ray Harryhausen are outstanding.

Brontosaurus gonna EAT YOU!!!

Review in a Nutshell: Slow, ponderous, and not particularly bright … and that’s not describing the dinosaurs! I loved this movie as a kid; I had terrible taste.

Terror-dactyl!

No, it’s not an obscure but terrifying poetic form, it’s Q, the Winged Serpent, the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: This movies is BAD. Really, really bad. No, I’m serious. It’s bad. Even the presence of David Carradine and Richard Roundtree cannot salvage this film.

On the plus side, Claymation dragon-dinosaur.

Give that Gorilla an Oscar!

Watch out for Calcifier Death Rays, because Robot Monster is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: A cautionary tale about the dangers of amateur archaeology, ferocious dinosaurs, and robots that wish to be like the Hoo-man. Truly, Robot Monster is the King Lear of robot films.

DINOSAURS!

ROBOTS!

TRUE ROMANCE?

CLOSING THOUGHT!

The Hell of the 50 Movie Pack Must Never Die!

Robot + Dinosaur = NIGHTMARE!

Don’t try to salvage giant alien robots, because Terror of Mechagodzilla is
