Land of the Lost

Episode 85: Land of the Lost (2009)

Theme: Bad Movies Based on TV Shows
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis tumble through a wormhole of questionable CGI, sweaty improv, and Danny McBride pelvic thrusts with a movie marriage so unhinged it could’ve been greenlit during a fever dream: The Foot Fist Way meets Kung Fury with a whole lot of Interstellar and just a pinch of A Chorus Line. The result? Land of the Lost — the only TV reboot brave enough to spend $100 million on Will Ferrell drinking dinosaur pee and a T-Rex who holds grudges.

Join your two favorite members of the Let’s Talk About Flix-verse as they unpack:

  • How Dr. Rick Marshall becomes the world’s first Quantum Paleontologist and the world’s last person to ever be invited back on the Today Show.

  • Why Holly Cantrell is a brilliant Cambridge scientist… doomed to be groped by Chaka, Danny McBride, and the camera.

  • How Will Stanton is just Danny McBride playing Danny McBride, but with slightly more explosives.

  • How Chaka communicates in a language that Holly conveniently understands because… archaeology?

  • Why the slee­staks look like rejected Power Rangers villains who wandered onto the wrong set.

  • How the T-Rex is sentient enough to take insults personally, track a lighter across time, and hold a grudge like your pettiest ex.

  • Why Enoch is the most obvious betrayer since Scar pushed Mufasa off a cliff — tunic and all.

From interdimensional Casio keyboards to pterodactyl egg trap puzzles, from drug-trip crab feasts to sleestak sex sheds, Oz and Curtis stomp through a film that proves you can remake a beloved TV show… but nobody can remake dignity after ingesting 26 gallons of hadrosaur urine.

Final Verdict

Oz — 4 Tachyons
Curtis — 26 Gallons of Hadrosaur Urine
Both — Still unsure how a pterodactyl egg sits perfectly on a stalagmite.
