Episode 22: The Land That Time Forgot (1974)

Today we’re reviewing The Land That Time Forgot (1974), the story of a WWI submarine crew who gets stranded on a mysterious island populated by dinosaurs and prehistoric people. It takes itself seriously enough to wax philosophical about war and human nature, but it was also featured on Mystery Science Theatre 3000, so its profundity might have been undercut somewhat by its bad dinosaur puppets.
