Episode 16

10,000 BC (2008) - the Least Historically Accurate Movie of All Time?

Prehistorical or prehisterical? We discuss Roland Emmerich's bizzare box office hit 10,000 BC from 2008.

We rattle through the litany of (pre)historical inaccuracies from anachronistic Pyramids to the sextant (invented in 16th century AD) and ponder how this movie burnt through its eye-watering $105 million budget.

Plus: Graham Hancock, 3 spurious impalings and Roland Emmerich's truly odd art collection.
