Ep 127: The Dinosaur Boom of the 80s & 90s
Dinosaurs were always BIG, but for a couple of decades, these monstrous lizards ruled all manner of pop media!
The 1980s and 90s saw the release of an unprecedented number of cartoons, movies, toys and games starring DINOSAURS! And unlike the adventure films of the 60s & 70s these projects took everyone's favorite extinct behemoths out of their hidden savage land environments and made them cool again. Mashing them together with genres like science fiction, post-apocalypse and even sitcoms!
You want dinos that fly spaceships? We got 'em. For this episode, we cover movies and cartoons like The Land Before Time, Denver the Last Dinosaur and Dinosaucers, but also toylines, video games and more!
