Key quote: “These are now people who've grown up, reading Conan Doyle's The Lost World, I suppose, aren't they?”
The host mentions 'The Lost World' to illustrate the cultural backdrop of the 1930s, where the fascination with sea monsters emerged as a new frontier for exploration. This reference highlights how the imagination of that era was shaped by earlier literary works, particularly those of Conan Doyle.
