“Theodore Rex” Podcast Movie Review

Theodore Rex (1995; Jonathan R. Betuel) – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 10

“This is where the nightmare reaches its horrifying crescendo.”

On this shellshocked episode of the Dare Daniel podcast, esteemed dinosaurologist Daniel Barnes and “bodacious cretaceous” Corky McDonnell review Jonathan R. Beteul’s disastrous 1995 buddy-cop-mystery Theodore Rex, starring Whoopi Goldberg and a talking dinosaur.

Under the threat of a lawsuit, your soft skin hosts discuss the sexually aggressive vibe at the Extinct Species Club, ponder the difference being on-the-grid and off-the-grid, and wonder why there’s a samurai in the Ninja District.
