Ben notes that the Boonta Wiki has recorded that the podcast mentions Jurassic Park (1993) a lot. Confusion between Congo (1995), Godzilla (1999), Outbreak (1995) and Braindead (1992) ensues.
0:39:50Nature Corner (Nature Corner)After gaslighting Theo, the team discusses research which suggests that sleight of hand magic tricks only fool monkeys with opposable thumbs. The team struggles to remember a previous episode where a similar subject was discussed. Lucy and Theo suggest the bonus episode 242 “If You See A Blue-Ringed Octopus On A Rock, Pick It Up Immediately And Take It To The Ocean, It WILL Die Without Your Assistance”, but Ben wasn't on that one. In the pre-episode statement, Ben clarifies that this was a story related to mimes in episode 194 - Willem Tell. Lucy seems to particularly enjoy slamming the monkeys for being fooled by the magician.
