On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Michael Tanner (writer of ORCS IN SPACE, JUNIOR BRAVES OF THE APOCALYPSE, and more!) dodge arrows and evade dinosaurs with metal hats as they talk about 1993's TUROK, DINOSAUR HUNTER #1.
Matt and Tanner aren't sure this is a good first issue, but they also aren't sure it's a bad one. Dinosaurs are hunted, so it delivers on its promise. Turok is nude often and has a way with women. There's a lot of walking. Plus, a straight out of a 1980's action movie Colombian drug lord is introduced. He's not a dinosaur, but Matt and Tanner have a sneaking suspicion that ol' Turok will be hunting him in a future issue.
Look, the comic is fine okay...it's fine...but the real reason you need to listen to this episode is to hear Tanner regale Matt with the legend of DUSTY MICRONAUT!
