Episode description

Host Matthew Donald and very special guest co-host Jason Singleton discuss Deinonychus, the one whose titular claw sparked the Dinosaur Revolution like a slash heard around the world. That’s an American Revolution reference, that joke. Know your history, even if it’s probably mostly propaganda. From the Mid Cretaceous, this 11-foot dromaeosaurid had the biggest beef with poor ol’ Tenontosaurus, or should I say the biggest beef from it. That poor ornithopod just can’t catch a break, always getting brutally disemboweled by this guy. Who does he think he is?! Oh yeah, a really important dinosaur. I guess it’s okay then.
