Episode 33: Night at the Museum (2006)
On this episode we’re spending the Night at the Museum, the 2006 blockbuster where dinosaurs skeletons, historical dioramas, and ancient archaeological artifacts come to life. Josh is frustrated by the plot holes, but Ross uses all of his academic might to rationalize the inconsistent worldbuilding. Either way, this movie is a celebration of museums, and we can all get behind that.
