Byrd and Matt are joined again by author John LeMay  (The Lost Films, Kong Unmade, Lost Films of the Lost World) to discuss two nostalgic stop motion dinosaur films, Dinosaurus (1960) and Planet of Dinosaurs (1977).  1960's Dinosaurus was directed by Irvin Yeaworth (The Blob, the 4D Man) and tells of a construction crew that awakens a brontosaurus, a t-rex, and a caveman.  Planet of Dinosaurs is a low budget indie about a group of space explorers who become stranded on a planet infested with dangerous man eating dinosaurs.  It launched the careers of of effects artists such as Doug Beswick (Star Wars, Terminator, Blade) and Jim Aupperle (The Thing, Ghostbusters, Hellboy).  As usual, we have our reviews, as well as plenty of behind the scenes history to discuss.  These were favorites of ours growing up, but how do they hold up now?  Listen and find out!
