It isn't often you get to enjoy some bad science at the Natural History Museum. This Sunday, the museum will screen the 1961 camp horror flick Reptilicus. Cower in terror as a giant prehistoric reptile causes mayhem when it takes to the streets. He can fly, regenerate, and occasionally shoot neon acid slime out of his mouth. Just be glad it's only a movie. Following the film a discussion with Dr. Luis Chiappe who will most likely shed light on how an event like this will never actually take place.
