You don't have to be a palentologist or a time traveller to encounter dinosaurs and other prehistoric life in comics. All you have to do is be in a comic book universe because dinosaurs tend to occur in any given time period that they are required.
From lost worlds to time portals to just being a handy plot device, the denizens of the Mezozoic and Cenozoic tend to come out of the (petrified) woodwork!
Join your hosts Andrew Farmer and lifelong dinosaur enthusiast Cole Houston as they dig into the past appearing in the present or future with an issue all about the dinosaurs of comics!

Hey Kids, Comics! #240 - Cine-Files: Movie Knights
Saturday Aug 12, 2017
Saturday Aug 12, 2017
We're Batman!
There has been no shortage of Batman movies or movie Batmans in the last quarter century. Technically there have been Batmans since 1943, but the Cine-Files story arc does not stretch back that far. Nor 1949. Or indeed, to 1966, either. Apologies to Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery, and Adam West - all of whom brought Bruce Wayne's alter ego to the big screen.
This week Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston take a look at big screen Batman incarnations from Keeton to Aflek and everyone in between. The character has been brooding and serious, campy and jovial, and even downright murderous over the years.
Join Hey Kids, Comics! on a journey through the Dark Knights in cinema from 1989 through 20016.
We want to issue a very special thank you to batman-online.com , for their extensive work in detailing panel by panel, the comparisons between comic and film! Way to go, team!

Hey Kids, Comics! #239 - Cine-Files: The Good, The Bad, and the Confusing
Friday Aug 04, 2017
Friday Aug 04, 2017
While an issue about Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns might be compelling, the famed actor/director is not the focus this week. This due in no small part to there being no known Clint Eastwood comic books.
Instead your hosts are embarcing on a brand new story arc all about super-heroes on the Silver Screen. This issue launches thing with a look at some of the best, worst, and most obscure comic book based cinema before the arc moves into a handful of solid franchises.
As summer draws to a close it seemed only natural to go out to the movies...
for five weeks in a row!
