Episode 3: Iceman (1984)

In our third episode, we're reviewing the movie Iceman from 1984. Haven't heard of it? Neither had we, but it's about a Neanderthal who was frozen in ice and thawed out in the 20th Century, just like Encino Man. Unlike Encino Man, however, they don't take him to high school - they debate the ethics of murdering him for science purposes! Does this movie hold up? Well, it's a window into the ‘80s for sure.

In this episode:
