Dinosaur Man

Due to reasons we cannot control we have not been able to record anything this week. Please enjoy this placeholder telling you the exact same thing. We'll see you next week.

All 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...

Congratulations loyal listeners! You all successfully made it through last week's test episode, you proved your love of the pod and your reward is another news and reviews episode packed to the gills with reviews of the latest in movies (Alex) and TV (Andy). Alex has reviews of new comedy horror 'Bodies, Bodies, Bodies', Spanish language film making satire 'Official Competition...

Well if you were thinking, "Oh yeah news and reviews is all well and good but will you ever just make an episode which is purely a man reading numbers from a spreadsheet?" then you're in luck! This is truly the darkest timeline, Alex spends an hour trying to work out if 'Batgirl' should have been cancelled by reading out budgets and grosses for Warner Bros DC comics proper...

Well after last weekend having a false start, here comes that batch of news and reviews you were all promised by the Sidecast. This week we talk Jordan Peele's third directorial feature 'Nope', action franchise sequel 'Prey', wine tasting documentary 'Blind Ambition' & bizarre sprawling Indonesian action romance drama 'Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay C...

So due to reasons out of our hands we were unable to get together and record a new episode for you. This means you get to experience the worst kind of episode - an Andy episode. We can hear you all booing from your respective homes and we're sorry. In this sidecast (because why not bring them back) Andy discusses the film Prey briefly and also makes plans for future episodes while Alex is not...

Bleep bloop bleep, press select.  Welcome to this edition of Dinosaur Man 64! This is our sporadic series of video game based episodes where we discuss all of the biggest and best in video games (specifically ones we've been playing).  As usual Andy carries the weight of this episode with 6 reviews including platforming juggernaught 'Super Mario Odyssey', a blast from the past in &a...

With the conclusion of San Diego Comic Con last week, this episode is largely a news dump of all the big announcements and reveals from that event.  Reviews wise we bring you psychological horror 'She Will', Netflix's animation 'The Sea Beast', Russo Brothers actioner 'The Gray Man', 'Swan Song' which features a great performance by Udo Kier & dinos...

Mild 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 connect...

Guess who's back with another dose of hot and fresh news and/or reviews? If you guessed anyone but us then bad luck as it's never gonna happen like that.  We bring you our thoughts on such releases as MCU effort 'Thor: Love and Thunder', offbeat British comedy 'Brian and Charles', cave exploration Hudson bait 'Il Buco', showy biopic 'Elvis', sporti...

Ahoy there, loyal listeners! Welcome to this very prompt and urgent spoiler review for the latest entry in the MCU, 'Thor: Love and Thunder'. 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.  So this full on spoiler review is slightly odd as only Andy has seen th...

Wazzzzzappppp! Remember that advert? Good times.  Busy, busy week this week and boy does the episode length reflect that. I hope your commute hits some traffic so you can enjoy this in full.  Reviews this week include Scott Derrickson's new horror 'The Black Phone', legacy homoerotic sequel 'Top Gun: Maverick', Ninja Thyberg's feature debut 'Pleasure', stop...

So 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. What were our favourite bits, what confused us, and why were there two different cuts of the same movie released at the same time? If like us you also believed this movie was never c...

Welcome back to you all dear friends, we've missed you terribly this week. To make up for it, how about a lovely installment of News & Reviews? Just like we used to make when you were little, remember it was your absolute favourite?  Reviews this week include (and are completely limited to) French drama 'Everything Went Fine', Karen Gillan starring sci fi nonsense 'Dual&apo...

Welcome friends (and enemies I suppose) to this episode of the Dinosaur Man Podcast where we're celebrating the recent release of 'Jurassic World: Dominion' by becoming John Hammond's chief imagineers for his dino theme park.  We evaluate dinosaur appearances in other movies and TV shows in order to work out which would be the best new attraction to add to Jurassic Park. With s...

Yeah yeah, we know. We saw too much, for real this time. Between the two of us we've probably seen every film and tv show this fortnight, which is regrettable as we now have to talk about them and review them. I think we can all agree this is just too much content baby, I'm not even going to write here what we've seen as it's too much. Check it out in the title, it's the s...

This week we wade deep into the maddest of all of the multiversi, the Marvel version! This is our full on spoiler episode for 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' so be warned intrepid listeners, we'll ruin the movie for you if you haven't seen it yet. We have a non spoiler version on last week's News & Reviews episode. We delve into plot, new and familiar fac...

Normal service is resumed this week with just hardly any technical hiccups or issues, so don't even worry about it at all. Andy makes a return to the podcast and waxes lyrical about the trailer for Avatar 2 while Alex is only growing more steadfast in his view that he won't watch the film. Reviews this week include latest Marvel entry 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness&apo...

Hey guys, a little treat of an episode for you this week in the form of a throwback Sidecast episode! We promised you a great one and this is a doozy, so sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

We resume our news and reviews service this week with a mix of our latest watches. Ranging from a ghost story from Laos in the form of 'The Long Walk' to a documentary about the highest profile skateboarder of all time, all while taking in a couple of horror offerings available online.  We also discuss high profile directors leaving anticipated projects for different reasons, the video g...

In 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 qu...

This 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 com...

To 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.  Much like with Jesus, some of these franchise will spawn a religion that lasts over 2000 years. Churches...

After a few weeks off from News & Reviews it returns with a vengeance, Andy's been a busy boy and caught up with a bunch of 2021 and 2022 releases. Alex has seen one film.  On top of reviews of Pixar's 'Turning Red', Poirot outing 'Death on the Nile', 'Jackass Forever' and much more in the world of recent films, Andy has also got three series to talk abo...

This is it, the final chapter in an epic which has spanned years of podcasting, the final edition of Dinosaur Man does Harry Potter.  Alex and Andy return to Hogwarts following the camping trip that took place last year for the final showdown with Voldemort, there will of course be more misuse of magical creatures, destruction of school property and key characters dying at a rate of knots.  Who wi...
