Episode 45: A.R.O.G: A Prehistoric Film (2008)

A.R.O.G (2008), the sequel to G.O.R.A (2004), is the story of a Turkish rug salesman who is sent a million years back in time by an old intergalactic foe, and must help his newfound stone-age friends progress through the technological ages to… eventually invent a time machine to return? That, or win a football match… The logic of it is unclear, but it is very funny and certainly film-literate (if not science-literate).
