Roll up your sleeves and grab a big bowl of "Brain Grain," because The Filmlosophers are traveling back to the prehistoric era of... 1993! In the second installment of their "Reel Rewinds" mini-series, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, along with Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, unearth a fossil of animated nostalgia: We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story.
The crew dissects the other dinosaur movie Steven Spielberg produced that year, exploring how a film about T-Rexes playing golf and eating hot dogs in New York City stacks up against its prehistoric peers. They discuss the surprisingly dark tone of the villainous Professor Screweyes, the fever-dream animation style, and whether this Amblimation classic is a misunderstood masterpiece or a relic that should have stayed extinct.
Does We're Back! still roar with charm, or is it just a lot of prehistoric noise? Tune in as we find out if these dinosaurs are truly welcome back!
