Hello, listeners, and welcome to the final episode of our Silver Screen Science series for April of this year, in which we are exploring old school dinosaurs. Silver Screen Science is the series where we talk about the science in movies, the intersection of science and scientific stuff and pop culture. Throughout this month, we have gone from the early 1900s to the mid-1900s looking at some old school examples, ways that dinosaurs and other creatures have been portrayed on the big screen. This episode, we wrap the whole thing up with another really famous foundational mid-century film, The Valley of Gwangi from 1969.
