 Man, 2026 is the gift that really keeps on giving! Surviving Earth , the new 8-part palaeodocumentary series from Tim Haines that ecompasses not just the Mesozoic, but the other eras, is coming! It's shaping up to be quite the  Actually in fact, the trailer for Surviving Earth debuted last year! How no one noticed, I'll never know. Anyway, here's the trailer for it! APRIL FOOLS! It's one of those cases where an entirely different work has the same name as a palaeowork. In this case, some drama film has the same name as SE. See you June 4 for the real thing. EDIT: Now it's eleventh... and the real thing is here.

Dino Wars: The Obscure Doc to end all Obscure Docs

Image
At Mesozoic Mind I have written (or at least tried to write about) very obscure documentaries few have heard about or remember, as a way to stand out. However, today's subject is a very, very obscure one, as in "literally never heard of it before" and "No one else ever did": Dino Wars . This was a Discovery Channel doc from 2005. The only evidence for it was this schedule screenshot found by someone in the Discord server I frequent trawling for other Lost Media related to Dinosaur Planet , and finding this schedule there. "Cold Case"? Ugh, the irony here.... And this is all we have. No screenshots, no press releases, no DVD releases nor clip let alone that was once on Youtube at some point, nothing on Internert Archive. No known species in it. No nothing. Literally nothing else is known save the date, November 5, 2005. No wonder everyone forgot it so soon. It's Lost Media. I didn't even know about it until last year thanks to that Discord user...

 Hello to all, and Mesozoic Mind still exists. Today, we will discuss perhaps the most infamous piece of palaeo-media anywhere, from 2010, a bright light in the dark age of the Awesomebro period, Tyrannosaurus Sex . *Heavenly choir* Even the release art is awe-inspiring. It is said that David Krentz saw it as a child and inspired him to make some of the most accurate prehistoric life depictions ever That is one of the best titles for any work ever, let alone palaeo-media. It's not generic, and its a clever pun that tells one all they need to know: this is about the sex lives of dinosaurs. That is all. Don't believe me on how good this documentary is? Just watch this clip, as the full thing could choke you with its brilliance. Absolute genius, discussing sauropod penis size in the most eloquent way imaginable. The script is such, and the narration is pleasing to hear, even better that pretentious lowlife Kenneth Branagh. if that weren't enough, guess what the star of the sho...
