Conclusion and potential ideas for future projects.The REAL T.REX Review (with Dr. Thomas D. Carr and John Michalski) // PART 1AK Rex2022-10-09 | IMPORTANT: The original file did not record properly, hence why no video. Good news is - there was no visual info that would have been crucial for this part. The image I mentioned (which obviously never appeared) was of the side by side comparison of models of BBC's original vs the remake by Fred the Dinosaur Man. Video will be on as normal in part 2!
While the program itself is mainly focused on the review of the documentary, a few tangents were also included for educational and entertainment purposes. Enjoy!
Contents:
0:00 - Introduction. 5:49 - T.rex fossil sample. 10:49 - Is using upper end (size) specimens a good method to make a case for the size? 20:33 - Giant Tyrannosaurine morphology, size vs behaviour, hunting and some evolutionary trends. 30:40 - Violent behaviour: Social Norm or Anti-Social? Me and John debating (a little bit!). 39:20 - Additional hypothesis on Tyrannosaur face biting. 44:44 - "Reptilian vs Birdlike", but Birds = Reptiles, therefore misleading framing of the claim/ point? 49:57 - Speed testing a T.rex. 57:29 - Enfluffening.Jurassic World Dominion MOVIE REVIEWAK Rex2022-06-11 | This video contains SPOILERS!!!When Dinosaurs Roamed America Documentary REVIEW - Episode 1 (featuring John)AK Rex2022-05-20 | The review series of documentaries are made and assessed from the perspective of "if the show was made exactly as we see it, but released at the time of us making this video" in order to see how well would it hold up to the current scientific knowledge of the given subject.

Interview with Richard Dorton (King Ghidorah "Kevin" head actor): youtu.be/tMRQ_9yoAfQJURASSIC WORLD Camp Cretaceous SEASON 2 REVIEW (SPOILERS!) RANT!!!AK Rex2021-01-27 | NOTE: Another interesting thing I forgot to mention was that the kids could have hidden in the hotel (credit to Klayton Fioriti for coming up with this!). In contrast to what Klayton said in regards the rotten or spoiled food and bad smell, that is easily solved by cleaning up and throwing it outside as far away as possible to remove the smell and prevent it from attracting animals. In addition, if you were to search the laundry utility rooms within the hotel, you could find a lot of sanitary supplies. And since they were able to restore power later on in the season, they could that way restore power to the refrigerators and hotel kitchens.

Dr Jason Bourke and Jeffrey Bond) #dinosaursAK Rex2020-06-22 | This video is our discussion and analysis of Aron Ra & Darren Naish vs David Menton on the subject of "Are Dinosaurs Definitely Birds?". Most of our video focuses on the main subject in the title and arguments being made. We DO NOT cover YECs or produce content debunking their claims. Please be advised, that this video got made before 5th part of the stream was published, as at the time I actually did not know if there was even going to be a part 5. Otherwise, please enjoy and have fun! :)
Discord: discord.gg/YcqRgJWhy Politics Should Stay Out of Paleontology and Out of Our Hobbies #FandomMenaceAK Rex2020-06-22 | PLEASE READ! (thank you!)
For some reason, some people decided that everybody must voice their stances in regards to recent (and still on going) events related to what happened not long ago in Minneapolis. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having an opinion on the matter, regardless of what it is and express it in the appropriate circles.
I am however strinclty against having any type of political, racial, dating preferences, religious and other unrelated topics being inserted into paleontology hobby and community (regardless of their alignment). All these issues eventually cause tribalism and division, which in turn generates echo chambers and real toxicity. Paleontology both as a scientific community and as a hobby has so far been one of the only common grounds where people of various views can sit down and have a conversation without letting those views get in the way. If politics and other irrelevant hot topics are allowed to be inserted into the community then from common ground it will turn into battle ground.
Attacking people for refusing to make any declarations or stances regarding any listed issues using a paleo platform is simply NOT OKAY and will not be tolerated. Such disgusting behaviour will be called out and perpetrators will not be welcome.
Those of you who who have experienced such attacks and have been bullied over it, do NOT bend your knee to the attackers. You do NOT owe them anything! Instead, join my discord and book a podcast session with me to share your experience! You will be treated with respect regardless of what views you have and will be given a chance to enjoy this hobby without it being ruined by identity politics and all things alike. Fandom Menace of paleo corner has your back!

Our perspective is stringly consumer based and is aimed to help people decide for themselves what they should or should not buy, we do NOT tell anybody what they should be doing with their money. Most importantly - it is aimed to entertain!

XD
There has been no additional material to reignite the sparks of the debate to support filaments in Tyrannosaurids, just as there has been never any evidence or studies published and described on "lips" (extra oral tissue extending to cover the teeth) of theropods in general. The former is solely centered around old and crude arguments and opinions, many of which are based on myths and misconceptions. The latter is at most based on an old thesis, which has never been peer reviewed and published in scientific hournal, lacked actual quantifiable evidence to support the claim and some occasional blog post opinion pieces.
The debate overall is given too much attention than it deserves at this point in my opinion, for the reasons I provided above. More evidence pointing either way may somehow be a worthy cause to revise it, but at the moment I see no reason to keep going on about it.
In any case, those were my own thoughts, you however enjoy the video and stay safe! :)DINOSAUR SKIN DIAGRAMS! - with Joshua BallzeAK Rex2020-04-23 | Hope you enjoy this very long session, it took me a while to get it up here due to the crazy file size that came out of the recording and having to compress it.
