Great idea! I have been wanting to cover Prey but I want to get an Indigenous archaeologist as a guest for that one, and I'm not sure who I should ask. Maybe I'll reach out to some potential guests!

It's officially October, so we're planning some scary movies for upcoming episodes! We just watched Legend of the Bog (2009), which prompted Ross to plot the decline of Vinnie Jones' IMDB scores over time (this is what happens when scientists watch movies) www.imdb.com/title/tt0928...

A graph with a zig-zaggy blue line showing the IMDB ratings for 79 Vinnie Jones movies in chronological order, which range from about 8/10 to about 2/10. A best-fit line indicates a downward trend over time, starting at about 6/10 and declining to about 4/10.

y = -0.0230x + 5.6722
R squared = 0.15821

First one that comes to mind is Call Me by Your Name, which is primarily a romance involving an archaeology grad student set at an archeological site, but I haven't seen it so I can't say how prominent the archaeology is in it. youtu.be/juTkLbarL-Q?...
