Taking a slight break from movies, this week is a minisode in which Dave creates a realistic dragon. Well, actually, three dragons. Do Dave's designer dragons pass the ecological and physiological test that Cinematica applies to other movie monsters? What movies would these abominations, I mean, creations star in? Which one would Liam Neeson fight? And please, email us with your dragon ideas!

TIME POINTS





S4E11- The Thingy (The Thing- 1982)

Welcome to Cinematica Animalia! If you share our love of both science and movie monsters, then tune in as we - two ecologists, one veterinarian, and a writer - explore the ecology and physiology of cinematic creatures; explaining what works, what mostly doesn’t, and how the movie’s plot is subsequently affected. At the end of the day, we just love talking about science.
