I just watched this last month! It's great, but the palaeontology content was a little more sparse than I'd hoped - I think we'd need to watch the whole series to get enough for an episode, but if there's interest we can cover it.

On today's episode we’re reviewing Cavegirl (1985), a movie about a teenage incel and his manic pixie cave girl, which Wikipedia misleadingly describes as a “sex comedy”, since it fails to deliver on both fronts 🧪🏺 youtu.be/4bfJsO3frI4

Today we’re reviewing the paradoxically and yet aptly named Teenage Cave Man (1958), the story of a 30-something teenage rebel who dares to break the rules and explore beyond his Stone Age tribe’s borders – and discovers a shocking twist!! 🧪🏺

On today's episode we've invited Dr. Carlton Shield Chief Gover from the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast on @archpodnet.bsky.social to review Prey (2022), a prequel to the Predator franchise in which the eponymous alien hunter meets his match on the Great Plains of 1719

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 listen to tons of archaeology podcasts!
Anything from @archpodnet.bsky.social, especially the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast and @duancientaliens.bsky.social. Also @movieswedig.bsky.social, @sethchagi.bsky.social, @probsnotaliens.bsky.social, and of course @sotsapodcast.bsky.social!
Straw poll for archaeologists 🏺:
1) Do you listen to archaeology podcasts? If so, which ones?
2) If you don't listen to archaeology podcasts, what podcasts do you listen to?
3) If you don't listen to archaeology podcasts, what would get you to listen to one?
A screenshot from the movie "The Lost Tribe" of an archaeologist holding up a "missing link" skull. The skull has a weird depression transversely across the top of it. Superimposed is a "gamer dent" meme: an image of a bald gamer removing his headphones to reveal that they have left an impression on the top of his head, but it is photoshopped to an absurd degree. The similarity between the dent in the skull and in the guy's head is uncanny.
BTW, check out the gamer dent on this "missing link" skull!

We're continuing spooky month with a review of The Lost Tribe, aka Primevil (2009), the story of a tribe of Predator-like missing links on a Caribbean island, and the Catholic conspiracy to cover it up 🧪🏺

You’ve seen mummies; you’ve seen zombies; but what about a resurrected Iron Age bog body? It's October so we're reviewing scary movies this month! First up is Legend of the Bog (2009), featuring Vinnie Jones and probably the worst written archaeologist we've ever seen 🏺🧪
youtu.be/IALZUy5ZQ3I
Great idea! I have been wanting to cover Prey but I want to get an Indigenous archaeologist as a guest for that one, and I'm not sure who I should ask. Maybe I'll reach out to some potential guests!

A graph with a zig-zaggy blue line showing the IMDB ratings for 79 Vinnie Jones movies in chronological order, which range from about 8/10 to about 2/10. A best-fit line indicates a downward trend over time, starting at about 6/10 and declining to about 4/10. y = -0.0230x + 5.6722 R squared = 0.15821
It's officially October, so we're planning some scary movies for upcoming episodes! We just watched Legend of the Bog (2009), which prompted Ross to plot the decline of Vinnie Jones' IMDB scores over time (this is what happens when scientists watch movies) www.imdb.com/title/tt0928...

First one that comes to mind is Call Me by Your Name, which is primarily a romance involving an archaeology grad student set at an archeological site, but I haven't seen it so I can't say how prominent the archaeology is in it. youtu.be/juTkLbarL-Q?...
