Episode 816: Theodore Rex (1995)

Episode 816: Theodore Rex (1995)

Whoopbruary concludes with a look at Theodore Rex (1996), the buddy cop dino flick that had Whoopi Goldberg stars as the cyber-enhanced supercop Katie Coltrane, begrudgingly partnered with the titular Theodore Rex -- an ambitious, wisecracking, impeccably dressed dinosaur with a badge and a dream.

Joining Mike to excavate this fossilized oddity are Brad Jones and Razzie-nominated screenwriter Kevin Lehane, who help unearth the film’s bizarre production history, its straight-to-video fate, and its legacy as one of Hollywood’s strangest contractual obligations. Plus, we hear from the mastermind himself, writer/director Jonathan Betuel, who sheds light on the film’s wild journey from concept to cult curiosity.
