About Reel Beasts

Cinephiles and dinosaur nerds rejoice! Film connoisseur David, and paleontologist Ben (both trained informal educators), join forces to explore the rich history of prehistoric animals in movies. Reel Beasts takes listeners from the badlands to the cutting room floor through insightful critiques, scientific rigor, and a pinch of comedy. With filmmaking experience and several dino digs under our belts, we’re here to pick bones about silver screen saurians both majestic and ridiculous.
