Today weâre getting spooky with As Above, So Below (2014), the story of yet another unethical archaeologist who has no qualms about breaking into sites, vandalizing artifacts, and never documenting anything. Unlike most archaeological heroes, however, she is forced to atone for these sins by passing through the nine levels of Hell, Ă la Danteâs Inferno.

Itâs October so weâre reviewing scary movies! TĂĄr (2022) is the story of a groundbreaking orchestra conductor who... wait, that doesnât sound right... Oh, I see, we actually watched Tar (2020), the story of a greasy prehistoric demon who emerges from the La Brea tar pits to haunt a small computer repair store. Well, Josh and Ross did â Kim messed up and watched the wrong movie, but we decided to spare her the ordeal and record the podcast anyway.

Today weâre reviewing the Adam Driver vehicle 65 (2023), a story about humans fighting dinosaurs, except the humans arenât really humans and the dinosaurs arenât really dinosaurs. We talk about Triassic archosaurs, shrink-wrapped dinosaurs, and âdinosauroidsâ, and try to figure out who this film was meant for.

When Men Carried Clubs and Women Played Ding-Dong (1971) is an Italian sex comedy in which cave women of two warring tribes stage a sex strike until their cave men make peace. If that sounds familiar, itâs because itâs a stone-age adaptation of the Ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. Itâs all Greek to us, so weâve invited Dr. Sara Hales-Brittain and Sam Siegel of the Greeced Lightning podcast to help us understand the erotic chicken cosplay, glory-hole fish emasculation, and petroleum-based conversion therapy. You heard me.

Dr. Advait Jukar, our first ever guest, returns for another crack at the Ice Age franchise. In The Meltdown (2006), we catch up with the worldâs most famous computer-animated megafauna as they flee climate change, and a snake-oil salesman, and vultures, and Mesozoic monsters, and in the end it turns out the stakes were never really that high. But if you like long lists of scientific names for animals, then youâre in for a treat!

Today weâre joined by Seth Chagi of World of Paleoanthropology to review a stone age classic: Quest for Fire (1981) hits almost all the caveman movie tropes, but to be fair, it probably originated most of them. We talk about the origins of controlled use of fire, âconlangsâ, and how this movie has become more scientifically accurate over time.

Ross is away today but undergrad student Zach Hoorman is filling in to help us review the first episode of Itâs About Time (1966), a sitcom from the creator of Gilliganâs Island about two astronauts who accidentally âbreak the time barrierâ and find themselves stranded one million years in the past. Thereâs not much real palaeoanthropology to talk about in this episode, so instead Josh does a poor job of explaining Einsteinâs theory of special relativity.

Firebringer (2016) is a musical play about the discovery of fire by a tribe of polyamourous, matriarchal ancient humans. They also invent stone tools, art, huntingâthey pretty much hit all the classic caveman tropes, and even subvert some of them. The only problem is... itâs a musical.

Evolution (2001) is a star-studded soft-disclosure propaganda film masquerading as a shampoo commercial intended to prepare us for extraterrestrial butt stuff. I think? I mean it doesnât seem to know what evolution is. In this episode we discuss organic chemistry, asexual reproduction, and Lamarckism, and also firetrucks for some reason.

Adam and Eve (Bingo!) Meet the Cannibals (Bingo!) tells the story of two blond (Bingo!) early humans who are banished from their home (Bingo!) and go on a rambling journey (Bingo!) where they encounter dinosaurs (Bingo!) and several tribes of cave people. Of course, everyone will be familiar with the plot because itâs a loose adaptation of the famous story, The Quest for Fire. Whatâs that? âBibleâ? âGenesisâ? Never heard of it.

If you were watching American TV in 2004, then you remember the Geico caveman commercials. What you might not remember is that they spun off a sitcom: Cavemen (2007), starring Nick Kroll, was cancelled after only six episodes and is considered one of the worst TV series of all time. But how does it hold up to scientific scrutiny? Find out on todayâs episode, where we do the research the screenwriters didnât!

Today weâre reviewing Evolutionâs Child (1999), a made-for-TV movie in which a woman is accidentally impregnated by sperm from an Ătzi-inspired ice mummy, and ultimately gives birth to a child with magical bronze age powersâand one fatal weakness. We talk ancient diseases, DNA contamination, and genetic memory, and Ross reassures us that this probably wonât happen at your local IVF clinic.

We rarely the get change to review a newly released caveman movie, so weâre really excited about Out of Darkness (2022), the story of Upper Palaeolithic modern humans venturing into Europe for the first time, and encountering a mysterious enemy. What could it be? Well if youâve kept up with the field of palaeoanthropology over the last twenty or thirty years, itâs probably exactly what you expect!

Today weâre travelling to the 24th century to discover humansâ earliest ancestors in The Chase, a 1993 episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, in which Captain Picard gets a chance to follow the road not taken and fulfill his dream of being an archaeologist. We talk pottery, ancient DNA, and linear progressive evolution.

The Beast from the Beginning of Time (1965) is a story weâve seen many times: archaeologists find a caveman who wakes up and kills everyone. It doesnât have the camp of Trog, or the star power of Horror Express, or the quotable lines of The Neanderthal Man, or the catchy surf-rock tunes of Eegah, or the budget of Neander-Jin... Well, enjoy the episode.

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) tells the story of Hushpuppy, a young girl living with her daddy in the Louisiana bayou, adapting to a changing world: her father is dying, the climate is warming, and prehistoric beasts are returning from the ice to haunt her. Aurochs, the titular beasts, were real Pleistocene animals â although the movie takes some artistic liberties. Itâs a wonderful movie with many layers, but the only one weâre really qualified to dissect is the evolution of cows.

Weâre getting back to our roots with Master of the World (1983), an Italian film about modern humans and Neanderthals, and cave bears, and cannibalism, and fighting! And herons. And a plot? Well this is an artistic film, so if you didnât get it then maybe youâre just not as evolved as we are.
