Big news! An American biotech company announced this week that they have brought the dire wolf back from extinction! We've honoured this great achievement by watching the prophetic film Dire Wolf (2009), a gory werewolf movie in which an American biotech company brought back the dire wolf from extinction... to create a military bioweapon!

Today we're reviewing Lisa the Skeptic, a classic episode of The Simpsons in which Lisa discovers an apparent angel skeleton at an archaeological dig. In this episode we dig into hoaxes, the use of AI in academic writing, and the work of Stephen J. Gould. But in a larger sense, this episode will settle the age-old question of Science vs. Religion (spoiler alert: Capitalism wins).

Mistress of the Apes (1979) tells the harrowing tale of Susan, an anthropologist who lost her pregnancy and learned of her husband's murder in Congo Kenya in the same week.

Today we're talking about Dr. Ross Geller, the best friend from NBC's hit 1990s sitcom. Ross is probably the world's best-known palaeontologist, except it's not clear if he specializes in dinosaurs or Pleistocene mammals.

Today we're reviewing One Million B.C. (1940), a film from Hollywood's Golden Era which is probably the common ancestor of all caveman movies. The 1966 remake with Raquel Welch is much more famous, but as it turns out it's pretty faithful to the original, the main difference apparently being the blatant on-screen animal cruelty (consider this your content warning).Get in touch with us:Twitter: @SotSA_PodcastBluesky: @sotsapodcast.bsky.socialFacebook: @SotSAPodcastLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/sotsa/Email: screensofthestoneage@gmail.comIn this episode:Watch One Million B.C.

Today we're reviewing the Adam Driver vehicle 65 (2023), a story about humans fighting dinosaurs, except the humans aren't really humans and the dinosaurs aren't really dinosaurs. We talk about Triassic archosaurs, shrink-wrapped dinosaurs, and “dinosauroids”, and try to figure out who this film was meant for. Win some SotSA Merch!

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, it's because it's a stone-age adaptation of the Ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. It's all Greek to us, so we've 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.
