Episode 16: 10,000 BC (2008)

There’s no other way to say it: this is the worst movie we’ve reviewed so far. If you’ve seen it, you probably know what we’re talking about, and if not, buckle in for a rant. 10,000 BC is the boring story of a caveman with no personality who needs to rescue a cavewoman with no personality from anachronistic slave traders building the pyramids with the help of domesticated mammoths. If that sounds stupid, it gets even worse: in this episode, we talk ancient aliens, hyperdiffusionism, and the racism underlying archaeological conspiracy theories.
