- 0:56It's so fun. It was cool my little boy turn five. I can't
- 1:00believe that. But everything else was great. It was dino themed, just
- 1:06like this pod. That is true. Maybe that's why we did it.
- 1:11No, he's just psessed with dinos. Actually, I think we're We both
- 1:17were wearing the same thing we're wearing now. This is my one dino shirt
- 1:23and it is a Jurassic Park shirt. I love it. It's classic,
- 1:27classic, classic. Yeah, I'm super pumped, buddy. It's gonna be
- 1:33fun to talk about this movie today. And it was so great seeing you
- 1:37and the whole fam. It was so lovely. Yeah, man, it
- 1:40was a good day. Yeah, it was. Well, why don't you
- 1:44tell me what the last movie you watched was? This is literally the last
- 1:49movie I watched because I finished it About ten minutes ago. I watched a
- 1:55movie on Hulu called Vacation Friends. Have you ever heard of this movie?
- 2:00This was just it was there and so I clicked on it. It's from
- 2:05twenty twenty one. It features our dude that we were like so much,
- 2:10Littlerell Howry and Get Out. He was in then Free Guy. That was
- 2:20the one I was trying to think of. Yeah, yeah, totally,
- 2:23So he's in it. He has a lady that he's in a relationship with
- 2:28and they go on a vacation to Mexico and they meet some crazy kids,
- 2:32one of whom is John Cena and his lady friend Meredith Hagner, who I
- 2:38didn't really recognize her, but she was really funny in this. I really
- 2:44had a fun time with this movie. It's a it's a silly like couples
- 2:49Ramkami, you know, odd couple kind of set up. It's fun.
- 2:53It's a fun pot. I think i'd seen the trailer back when it came
- 2:57out. Now that you say that, I think it's like a must be
- 3:00a Hulu original or something as well. I think probably came out last summer.
- 3:06If I had to guess, you now, one of those fun little
- 3:07summertime films. But yeah, I took a chance. It was pretty fun.
- 3:14Littrell Howry still great. I don't know, it's a weird movie.
- 3:19It's got some strange twists and turns. But I guess that's more fun than
- 3:23just being cookie cutter because it was kind of strange. So yeah, I
- 3:27had a nice time. It was fun. Cool. Yeah, how about
- 3:30you, what's the most recent movie you've seen? I thought it was appropriate
- 3:34for this episode. And I may have said this already to you, but
- 3:38I watched the Spielberg documentary on HBO. Oh fun, you've never seen watch
- 3:44it? Yeah, it's it's back in twenty seventeen now, so it's kind
- 3:49of in a minute. That's crazy, but it was fun. I mean
- 3:52it's like two and a half hours long. They got other directors as well
- 3:57as him to talk about his career and focus on his big films like Jaws
- 4:03and Indiana Jones and Jurssic, Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan Um.
- 4:11And I was super into it because I love his films. Yeah right,
- 4:15but yeah, like I said, it's it's two and a half hours.
- 4:18So if you're not super into him in his films, you might be
- 4:23kind of boring for you. I mean, it's anyone like not into his
- 4:27films, though I've never heard of anyone. Yeah, but you know,
- 4:30he's also like the mainstream director, is true. That is true. So
- 4:36I'm sure there's some people that are just like, oh, whatever, serg
- 4:41whatever, that's strange, But I'm not. I'm not one of those people.
- 4:45I'm a big fan and it was really worth watching. It's great,
- 4:47dude, love that for you. Yeah, have you been streaming anything fun?
- 4:54I have? I had to dig back in the vault a little bit
- 4:57for this one. Uh. I watched a movie I'm pretty sure i'd never
- 5:00seen, which seems strange. I don't think I've talked about it on here
- 5:04since I watched it, but time will tell. I watched Talladega Nights.
- 5:09I don't think you did talk about it, because I haven't thought about that
- 5:12movie in a long time, so I had never seen it, which seems
- 5:15weird to me that I've never seen it. It's really fun. It is
- 5:20exactly what you expect out of those movies. I feel like it was a
- 5:27surprise getting to see Sasha Baron Cohen in it. That was a neat little
- 5:30That was the first time I'd ever seen him. It was when that movie
- 5:34came out. Wasn't for me, but that's because I just watched it.
- 5:36But yes, I think it was super early in his career. Maybe he'd
- 5:42done like the Ali g Show and stuff by then. Yeah, yeah,
- 5:45probably, But I wasn't super into that. Like Evan was super into that
- 5:47back in the day and college I was too. I was, yeah,
- 5:50oh were you super into Yeah, I had the DVDs. So now that
- 5:55I say that, well, the first movie you saw him for sure?
- 5:59Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, just a real silly, fun time about
- 6:03racing its step brothers with cars. I don't know, like it's like in
- 6:10days of thunder bars. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Um, And I
- 6:14bet it was a blast to make and I had a nice time watching it.
- 6:16I giggled a bunch, and you know, we move on. I
- 6:19didn't realize so many big quotes were from that movie Big Time that I definitely
- 6:25say, yeah, yeah, exactly, so many. Um and those foul
- 6:30mouth kids were so funny. God, they're just so funny. I love
- 6:35them their whole dinner table thing because they like yell at the grandpa too and
- 6:42like all that stuff. It's super super fun to baby Jesus six pound eighty
- 6:47Jesus, Baby Jesus, you know there's he grew up too. Baby.
- 6:54I like the baby. You like what you like. I like just so
- 6:58silly and fun. So yeah, it came out in two thousand and six,
- 7:01so maybe we'll do an episode on it in a couple of years.
- 7:03A point i'd probably be down. Sounds fun, yeah, but yeah,
- 7:08I had a nice time. How about you, buddy, What's what have
- 7:11you been streaming? I know that we've been talking about it, But Barry
- 7:15season four on HBO Max. Right, This season has been particularly crazy and
- 7:23I don't want to give too much away, but they do some serious time
- 7:26jumps in this season. Yeah, and we're seeing some characters really change things
- 7:31up. It's pretty fun. It is fun have you watched this week's yet
- 7:38no, I was caught up before Sunday the same. Yeah. Fun,
- 7:44though, I feel like they're getting they're like, it's hard to say because
- 7:46it's not one hundred percent, but they're getting closer to the silliness of the
- 7:50beginning, Like I think I said that recently as well, But yeah,
- 7:56I thought that was fun. I like that vibe. It's very well done.
- 8:00And I think Bill Hayter is gonna be able to do whatever he wants
- 8:03after this. He is so good. He can just like act so well.
- 8:07He can act so well, but yeah, directing all this stuff too
- 8:09and creating it and it's just it's very impressive. Yeah. Good, he's
- 8:13gonna be like, I just want to be part of an ensemble next because
- 8:18this is a lot of work. Yeah, yeah, that's cool man,

- 11:50what's up? Guys? Hello, to see amazing, to see your faces.
- 11:58It's been so long. I know we had just caught up before this,
- 12:01but let's catch up again. How aren't you long? Good? Awesome?
- 12:07Yeah, it's summer. Yeah, oh I know, It's nice,
- 12:11isn't it. Yeah, for anyone not living in the Midwest to get into
- 12:15summer is like, it's it's a godsend. Guys. We had a terrible
- 12:18winter. It was pretty brutal. That's I kept hearing. We had a
- 12:22bad winter. I don't know. I like, yeah, he loves it.
- 12:24Fields was just frolicking in the snow wearing short crazy Yeah, built for
- 12:31it. Yeah I can, but I don't like it. You know where
- 12:35we had some crazy winners up into Luke where we all went to school together.
- 12:39Come on, buddy, Yeah we're bulldogs. We all love sports and
- 12:48things. I definitely went to a couple of hockey games. Sure, yeah,
- 12:52I went to one hockey game. I did too, and I think
- 12:56we sang at it. I think that was the only reason I went.
- 13:00Did you take the whole thing after singing? I don't think so. I
- 13:05found myself in the like gymnasium area once and I was like, where am
- 13:09I? Where am I? Oh? I did watch the I watched a
- 13:13lot of volleyball actually my first two years, because I had a friend from
- 13:16my hometown was on the team and she was and also they were all very
- 13:20pretty, and that's what I was looking for. That was nice. None
- 13:24of them had any interest in me, that's for sure. They were all
- 13:28very tall, and I was just a guy. That's fun, right,
- 13:33an adorable little tandy bear right there next to the volleyball players. Yeah,
- 13:37that was like their little furby mascot. It was nice. It's fine,
- 13:41I don't I mean, I figured the sports people don't hold it against us,
- 13:43because if they were forced to come to a player or a concert,
- 13:46I'd imagine that they were out as soon as they got their tickets. And
- 13:48it's fine. I mean not everybody remember remember the dude that did that intro
- 13:54to jazz class? Was it Billy Bernard? Yes, I do remember,
- 13:58and he used to make a lot of people took this class, and he
- 14:01used to have you had to attend an event, so that would actually happen
- 14:05every once in a while. People would like show up for like ten minutes
- 14:07and then be like, we were here, I'm out of can you send
- 14:11my card? Yeah? Yeah, I got the Diket Stubb, and I
- 14:15can tell you about the first five minutes exactly exactly. He never checked.
- 14:20I can't imagine. I think that was crazy. I wonder what he's doing
- 14:24he's fun. If you're listening to this, Yeah, Billy Billy, you're
- 14:28great. Let them know. Big fan of her. I think, I
- 14:31don't know. I don't know much about the man. Anyway. We're here
- 14:33today to talk about a great movie, but before that, we want to
- 14:37do a few plugger rooneys. Yes, Jenny, you work at just a
- 14:41fun little shop I hear called Statement Boutique. Is that right? I do?
- 14:46Yeah, thanks for bringing that up. Yeah, it's yeah, no
- 14:52problem. We did not discuss at all. Yes, it's a small woman
- 14:58on business. The North Loop in Minneapolis Statement Boutique. We support over twenty

- 16:45of stuff like, I love that. Yeah, we get sassy. Check
- 16:53out Statement boutique in the North. I know I will. It's pretty cool.
- 17:00Well, let's get down to business and discuss Jurassic Park here, gang.
- 17:03I'm super depressed that I had zero Jurassic Park swag. Oh, I
- 17:15seriously, I have this. My son just turned five years old and he's
- 17:21obsessed with dinosaurs, and I had to get this for the party just this
- 17:25earlier this week. Yeah, perfect good. I was like, I'm wearing
- 17:30it for this taverning. I wore this shirt for that as well. He's
- 17:33got a little din there there. They are sticking with the theme of the
- 17:38movie. I couldn't tell if they were birds or dinosaurs, so ah,
- 17:42they are both depending on time. I guess you believe well, Rob,
- 17:48can you get us started with just a rough synopsis? Yes. In Steven
- 17:53Spielberg's massive blockbuster, paleontologist Alan Grant and Ellie Sadler and math matitian Ian Malcolm
- 18:00are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs
- 18:06created from prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire John Hammond, assures
- 18:12everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators
- 18:18break free and go on the hunt. I love it, gripping, It's
- 18:22like I watched the movie all over again. God, you get more dynamic
- 18:26every episode. A cha autitian, cha autitian. There it is. It's
- 18:33crazy. Let's go to Rotten Tomatoes and hear what they have to say.
- 18:36Critics have it coming in at a rock solid ninety one nine one hire I
- 18:42don't know should be higher. Yes, maybe we'll get into your hot take
- 18:48in just a few seconds, I mean pretty soon. It audience members were
- 18:52the same score, so everybody likes it at least a little bit for sure.
- 18:56How can you know? Let's do it right now. Let's go into
- 19:00our hot hot take. Spicy, that's a hot take. That's a hot
- 19:08take. Okay, I will go first on this one. I love this
- 19:14movie a ton. It was an absolute joy to rewatch it. It had
- 19:18been a little bit for me and it. Man, it's so fun and
- 19:22it holds up so well. I couldn't believe how many lines I remember like
- 19:26before they happened. We I think collectively we're probably like the perfect age for
- 19:33this because not only did we see it, but then we got like,
- 19:36you know, the VHS, and it's just that like touchstone of our youth
- 19:41right in culture. M I loved it. The score is super super fun.
- 19:48Uh every time it makes me think of the that video too that was
- 19:52like making fun of Dina. What did they say? They're like, yeah,
- 20:00like all that stuff. It's so amazing. I love it so much,
- 20:03and I didn't realize it. It kind of turns into a horror movie
- 20:07halfway through, which is kind of fun actually, and I like it more
- 20:11than I would have thought I would have liked a horror movie or those elements
- 20:15back in the day. Uh, it's a very fun movie. I think
- 20:18it's well acted, like really great stuff. It made so many people care
- 20:23about dinosaurs more than they ever did before. Even and yeah, no,
- 20:27all, I loved it. I thought it was an absolute blast. Hot
- 20:32take buddy, hot taket Wow. Wow. Yeah. I have loved this
- 20:38movie since it came out. It's number one forty three on IMDb, top
- 20:42two fifty. It's very pretty low yeah, um yeah, I guess so,
- 20:49yeah, there are I mean in the span of all the movies that's
- 20:52that's pretty good. But it's very hot. I would have I would have
- 20:56agreed. I agree with you. Um. But it did one one three
- 21:00Oscars for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Sound Effects Editing,
- 21:04which I don't think they do that anymore. Nope. Oh interesting, it's
- 21:07all like one thing just sound now, right, right exactly. Yeah,
- 21:12they do the technical awards before like the night before, right, But yeah,
- 21:18this, uh, this was one of the most memorable movie theater experiences
- 21:22I ever had. I can distinctly remember being so freaked out when the raptor
- 21:26almost reaches the kids right before they get up into the whatever the ventilation system,
- 21:32but also being so embarrassed because my dad was yelling at the screen,
- 21:38get up there, get up there, and he was like kicking the seat
- 21:41in front of him, like trying to get them up there. Um,
- 21:47so I'll never ever forget that. Yeah, I was mortified and just still
- 21:56freaking out. But um, well, I was very surprised to see that
- 21:59it still holds up pretty well after thirty years. Visually. Yeah, I
- 22:04mean it's it looks like it's a little older, but still amazing, like
- 22:10really really cool. Um and uh, it's way up there from her favorite
- 22:15score of all time. I remember trying to learn how to play it on
- 22:18my saxophone as a kid. It's one of the first things I ever transcribed,
- 22:22So that was a thing. I know. John Williams, John Williams
- 22:27just transforming kids lives Steven Spielberg movie at the time. Seriously. But yeah,
- 22:34I mean I don't have anything too crazy. This movie is awesome.
- 22:37I'm a huge fan. It had also been a long time for me since
- 22:41I had seen it. I had a wonderful rewatch and I was very surprised.
- 22:45You know, you think about all the dinosaurs. Um, I didn't
- 22:48see a dinosaur for the first hour of the film, so um yeah,
- 22:53pretty pretty impressive. I love this movie. I'll let you guys talk hot.
- 22:59Yeah. Yeah, I mean I I agree with what you guys have
- 23:06said so far. It definitely held up over time. This movie holds the
- 23:11distinction of being in the top tier of absolute favorite movies for me. Yeah,
- 23:18like holds a really really special place in my heart. My brother and
- 23:22I we actually waited until it was out on VHS to see it. We're
- 23:29kind of resistant because it was so popular. We're like, man, but
- 23:33my brother. I asked. My brother was like, I don't remember seeing
- 23:36it for the first time, Like, do you remember where we saw it?
- 23:38And he was like, yeah, I think we watched it at Auntie
- 23:44Carrey's house because we used have movie nights there. I was like, okay,
- 23:47okay, and he's like, I remember we had to cover our eyes
- 23:51at a bunch of parts. Still yeah, and I remember that you peeked
- 23:56through your eyes at one point and it was when um, Gennaro bites it
- 24:03on let and apparently I thought his little head went off of his book.
- 24:14I totally missaw what what the scene was and he's like, that's all you
- 24:18talked about, And it just built the suspense for us and like, like
- 24:22we were so excited to like fully see this movie, so just cutting cutting
- 24:27to the future when we actually like saw it in full, we would watch
- 24:30it every Saturday for a huge chunk of time. Dragon Her mother nuts,
- 24:36um yeah, and my brother remembered too. We even made my grandma watch
- 24:41it, um when my sister was being born in the hospital. Whoa.
- 24:48And apparently she also she was very concerned that the kids were going to be
- 24:52hurt or she was like, oh my god, did they die? And
- 25:00I'm like, all of this is so on brand for every single one of
- 25:03us. That's amazing. Um yeah. My parents recorded it on cassette tape
- 25:07so we could listen to it on car trips. So like, this movie
- 25:11is super super special to us. And Robbie like, um, my brother,
- 25:18it was his first uh soundtrack that he got onto, his first piano
- 25:26score that he got, and that became a huge thing for our family for
- 25:32him specifically, like John Williams scores like you would get the piano score,
- 25:37get the cassette tape or DVD or whatever turned into but it became a whole
- 25:42thing like this was this was our lives for so many years after Um,
- 25:48so yeah, watching it again like it had it had not been a long
- 25:51time since I had watched it, but I still watched it again, of
- 25:55course. Yeah, yeah, it definitely it's hard to not watch it without
- 26:00the filter of nostalgia and like kind of seeing it through that. So I
- 26:04put on subtitles to kind of just like really kind of analyze it a little
- 26:11more and like really read because so many people talk over each other in this
- 26:15movie, like you can't quite catch what people are saying all the time.
- 26:18So it was really interesting to kind of see it that way. And I
- 26:21would say it holds up. The saving grace of it is the practicals that
- 26:26they use to a thousand percent. The cgs dated, and I was a
- 26:33little dismayed, like watching it now with like my critical eye and just being
- 26:37like, ah, man, that didn't super hold up, Like it doesn't
- 26:41take me so out of the movie where I'm like, boo, I hate
- 26:45this movie now. But yeah, I think the use of practicals was absolute
- 26:51genius and good on them. You also rewatched it on DVD, like an
- 26:56actual DVD like Blue Ray. So bad, but it was very authentic.
- 27:02It felt authentic. It was it was like I was watching on VHS untouched
- 27:08up was a little lack luster for you. Um. Yeah. And and
- 27:15then one last thing. Sorry, I I was going to try to make
- 27:18this super brief. Um, I would say the negative taking away from this
- 27:26movie, yeah, is that so I I love science. I believe in
- 27:32science. But when science tells me that dinosaurs don't sound like the dinosaurs in
- 27:40Jurassic Park, or they don't look like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, I'm
- 27:44like, Science, you're wrong. What they look? Yeah, this one
- 27:49point, you're wrong. So Jenny's hot take is science isn't real. We
- 27:59got our clip. If I love it now, you can never run for
- 28:03public office. It is. It's really hard to like see their new versions
- 28:08of dinosaurs now and just not be like, no, oh, you guys,
- 28:15that's so wrong. What does it have wings? Yeah they don't know.
- 28:22Yeah, but yes, we we kind of have like a shared thing
- 28:26to talk about with the Jurassic par I'll let it. But I'll let him
- 28:30kind of go into his love Jurassic Park anti science. I'm in the exact
- 28:42same boat. Loved this movie from the first time I saw it. I
- 28:45became a Michael Crichton stand at a very young Yes, so I had read
- 28:51the book, um me too, oh, way too young of an age.
- 28:56Probably you're reading a book like that, like a way too much science,
- 29:00which Jenny doesn't believe it, and I don't enjoy this chunk very graphic,
- 29:06um like the differences and deaths and stuff like Nedrie's death is so graphic
- 29:11in the book, um that if they had made that, it would have
- 29:14been rated our movie. But yeah, from very young age, this movie
- 29:19um and the Last World became just regulars on repeat. We wore out our
- 29:25vhs from watching it too many times. When everyone wanted to be uh Alan
- 29:30Grant, I wanted to be Ian Malcolm of course, yea the like That's
- 29:36where I got a lot of my like satirical, like snappy, pithy little
- 29:40comments. Then I met everybody was like, oh yeah, Jeff Goldblum,
- 29:42huge inspiration on my youth. Between that and Independence Day, I was like,
- 29:45Jeff Goldblum's a man. I can see it. Oh yeah, and
- 29:52yeah, so have loved it forever and we were almost reintroduced to it by
- 29:57some friends out in Los Angeles, um, because we would get together for
- 30:00Easter and so we'd do Jurassic Easter and Jurassic Park would play at every single
- 30:06one of these gatherings. Eggs, they have risen. There's a lot of
- 30:17these things fits exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was tradition.
- 30:19Like we we did every holiday at our friend Brandon Jessica's place. They're
- 30:25kind enough to host. We did every Easter there while we were in Los
- 30:29Angeles and we would die eggs, had to do the obligatory poop egg while
- 30:33watching love It Jurassic Park and then analyzing it. Oh yeah, we've we've
- 30:41had. There was one discussion that went on for the better part of an
- 30:45hour just debating the positioning of a scene and whether or not it could have
- 30:51actually like the movement could have happened, and not about a dinosaur. It
- 30:53was the two persons. Yeah, it was when Ellie was sitting at the
- 30:57table with doctor Grant and their art Hammond. Yeah, yep, and she
- 31:03reaches for the ices the ice cream. Yeah, it's just that reach across
- 31:07the table to grab the ice cream is because it's like a table so far
- 31:11away. It's so far if you read, and when she walks in that
- 31:15the small brown one isn't on the table that you can see. And so
- 31:18it was an hour of she is a monster with ten foot arms though she's
- 31:26gummy, she just reached awesome. I love that kind of our Yeah,
- 31:33so it's kind of remained near and dear to our hearts very much. So
- 31:37love it. Hot takes, guys, that's fun. I love it.
- 31:42We need to have more holidays based around movies. I'm in on that.
- 31:47Yeah, well you would do Christmas with them too, and it was Die
- 31:49Hard or Trading Places. Yeah, Christmas was a bit of a bummer because
- 31:52it was all the movies that I didn't consider Christmas movies. Fourth of July
- 31:56made sense. Independence Day. That's pretty straightforward. M yeah, yeah,
- 32:01yeah, we could find one for everything. Forrest Scump for Arbor Day,
- 32:07absolutely celebrated Arbor Day him running across the country with him planting trees. Right.
- 32:13I love it. And La bought the scenes. Never know where you're
- 32:21gonna plant. Let's go on and talk about our favorite acting performance. Let's
- 32:24name the dude. I'm the dude, so that's what you call me,
- 32:30you know that, or his dudes or duder or you know, l dudino.
- 32:37If you're not into the whole brevity thing. You guys have to decide
- 32:40who wants to go first, but it will be one of you. Oh
- 32:45oh, this is tough because I have four picked. Okay, so we
- 32:50I struggled with this. Um, I just have one, so do you
- 32:53go? Um? I mean, I think everyone's great, but I picked
- 32:58Jeff Goldblum because no one can Jeff Goldblum like Jeff Goldblum can. And I
- 33:04really couldn't see anyone else in this role. I feel that's kind of my
- 33:07gauge for that, Like if I really can't picture anyone else in the role,
- 33:14I'm like, okay, will you win. I guess that that was
- 33:17where I was at with that. I love that and just for him just
- 33:22having his shirt open like that and just always posing. Yeah, I picked
- 33:27him for the chest baby exactly. He's handsome, very nice, the part
- 33:32I don't love. He's not on the second half very much, which I
- 33:37was like, that's true. I was like, this is kind of a
- 33:39bummer, So would we consider him a supporting no no no, no,
- 33:43no, no, no no. You can whatever you want very hard and
- 33:47or loose and fast, fast and loose. That's the right one around here.
- 33:52It doesn't matter. You do what you want. Cool. Thanks,
- 33:57Yeah, that's a great pick, great, great pick. Yeah, I
- 34:00had I had gold Bloom on there. Um, I'm gonna for Jenny's reasoning,
- 34:06I'm gonna go with Richard Attenborough. Love that. I love who did
- 34:08who did not play doctor Grant? Who did not play Doctor Grant? That
- 34:13I think for the same reason, like I think the movie's so ingrained in
- 34:15us that I can't imagine anyone playing any of these characters other than the people
- 34:19who did. But his take on it was so iconic, and while they're
- 34:25all wildly different from the book, like his going from this sort of evil
- 34:30Walt Disney type of the character, like the villain of the book to this
- 34:36loving grandpa like so generous. Yeah yeah, and uh and warm, And
- 34:42even when he's having his breakdown at the table and you can tell how wrong
- 34:45he is because he wants to relaunch it, it's still you still feel for
- 34:47him. So I think I think his performance is incredible. Yeah, absolutely
- 34:52love that. That's great. That's a great, great pick um. I
- 34:57would have also picked Jeff Goldblum for all the reasons you said. He was
- 35:01so funny and wonderful. Just say somebody else though, Sam Neil as doctor
- 35:08Alan Grant. He was fantastic in this and I don't think I knew him
- 35:15a lot back then, but I've grown to love his work a lot,
- 35:19and I thought he brought it out to the role. Yeah, I love
- 35:22Gilberg tried to cast people that weren't like giant Hollywood stars on purpose, I
- 35:29think, so that they could kind of embody the role a little more sure,
- 35:34which makes sense. Yeah, yeah, it kind of makes it a
- 35:36little more timeless too, I think. Yeah. I also feel like he
- 35:39wasn't like the quintessential leading man either, which is kind of fun in a
- 35:44different way. I don't know, Like, obviously he's a good looking guy,
- 35:47he's strong whatever, but like he's not, I don't know, he's
- 35:51not as flashy as I would have thought in retrospect they would have picked for
- 35:54someone like him, you know. Yeah, he's got just a brilliant subdue
- 35:58take yea many moments. Yeah, it's because he's ausy, right, he's
- 36:02an as he's a cute He's from No Way, Oh oh him so much
- 36:10more. I hated him before, but I'm in now. But I think
- 36:15I don't know he just it kind of brings like an earthy quality, like
- 36:19an earthiness agrounded. I don't know. There's trivia later to talk about with
- 36:23that. Oh, I hope I have that one. I can't think of
- 36:30what it would be. I'm excited to hear more. Uh, just to
- 36:35prove that I wasn't giving you a hard time. I also picked Jeff Goldbloom,
- 36:37so I'm I was more just bummed we didn't get more of him as
- 36:44time went on. Um, but I just thought all the same reasons you
- 36:47guys said. I thought he was super compelling, really interesting. I love
- 36:52so funny. I don't and I didn't remember this, probably because I didn't
- 36:54identify with it or it being funny at the time as much. But his
- 37:00flirting with Laura Darren was super fun I thought, I like, I really
- 37:04liked that side plot. You know, yeah somebody. It wasn't like gross.
- 37:08It was just like, you know, like he was just he was
- 37:12showing interest, but not in like a super gross we I didn't think,
- 37:15which is not touch your hair once he did. Yeah, yeah, that
- 37:17little but that was kind of I was gonna say it was almost super endearing
- 37:22because he's doing this explanation and she's leaning into him, and it's just kind
- 37:24of that was like a weird, like a weird Jeff Goldblum thing, like
- 37:28you're just weird, dude. Yeah. I think they dated during that.
- 37:34Yeah, I think they did, though I saw that. Yeah. Yeah,
- 37:37yeah, we're gonna just be spouting trivia. That's great. But also
- 37:43I feel like his character has um, I think some of the most poignant
- 37:49lines. Yes, and you don't quite realize that they're so pointed because he's
- 37:54kind of delivering him and then such a kind of almost a flippant way,
- 37:59like but but whatever. But yeah, it's I think his lines too,
- 38:05are very like I wrote so many of his quotes down totally. Yes,
- 38:08agreed, such a good line for sure. Well I love it. Nice.
- 38:13Nice. Well let's pick some more supporting roles, and let's let's pick
- 38:17our gang. Uh yeah okay, yeah, um, so I picked the
- 38:30kids. I think Joseph Mazzalio and Marianna Richards, and that is kind of
- 38:37coming from the nostalgia days. Um. I think they freaking nailed it on.
- 38:44Yeah. I mean, as a kid watching it, you're living your
- 38:47lives through the kids, So they have to sell it, and they absolutely
- 38:52sell it that this is real, this is happening. Um yeah, I
- 38:57just feel like they do a really, really, really good job. Yeah
- 39:00they did. Yeah. I was kind of going. I was going back
- 39:02and forth. I was like, do I give him the dude? Could
- 39:07have? Could have? Could I could have? But I just signed not
- 39:09too. Also, muldoone was muldoone. I had to pick him. That's
- 39:15a second, just because of those thighs. I love that. I loved
- 39:22his accent. I loved how his hat and his nose had the same curve
- 39:27and his profile beefy thighs. That was all about muldoone. Yes, Bob
- 39:36Peck. Sorry do you have that written Bob Peck? Sorry Bob Peck if
- 39:38you're listening's oh don't want why Sorry I'm that downer. Who's your tucci?
- 39:49Um? I oh so many people. I mean, Sam Jackson shows up
- 39:52in this filmy like it's like this is before he was Sam Jackson. YEP.
- 39:57Just absolutely incredible. Kept expecting him to swear the whole time. I
- 40:00was like he definitely says at some point, right, No, yeah,
- 40:02he has um so I had. I wrote down Sam Jackson. I wrote
- 40:08down John Williams music as like a supporter. That's a great call because I
- 40:16don't know what that movie is without that score in the back man, it's
- 40:22absolutely incredible. Yeah, I agree, no one can beat John Williams.
- 40:25UM. I also did write down the sound the sound effects. Yes,
- 40:31there are the sounds of our childhood like that for sure. Yeah, I
- 40:35mean yeah, I don't know who did the sound It wasn't Ben Burt,
- 40:38that was Star wars Um, but yeah, props to them. Yeah,
- 40:44so I'm gonna yeah the sound effects in John Willame's music, I think we're
- 40:46we're getting the tucci from me. I love I love those um I.
- 40:52Another person we haven't said but I really loved was Wayne Knight as Nedri And
- 40:58Yeah, and I we did a draft not too long ago, like our
- 41:02favorite like funny death scenes, and I totally blanked on this one. I
- 41:07would have absolutely at least honorable mention. But yeah, he's just he's the
- 41:15worst. And him just like reacting to the the Barbe song can when he's
- 41:21like he's all just like giddy like I'm gonna be a spy. Little of
- 41:24that little like whistle sound when it pops open, and we couldn't figure out
- 41:30if that was like his laugh or if it was the sound effect. Oh
- 41:34funny. Yeah, I definitely put weird sound effects in there, because one
- 41:37of them they did is during his death scene when he falls, there's like
- 41:40a there's like a whistle, like a real which is and it's just buried
- 41:47deep in the soundtrack too. It's so funny. Yeah, cople times because
- 41:52I was like, is that reel or did I make that up? Oh
- 41:54no, oh no, guys falling down the hill put us slide was a
- 41:59limb. Yeah, yeah, so funny that. Yeah. Oh yeah,
- 42:07I have to pick um. I got all the people you guys said,
- 42:13let's see, I'll pick Laura durn I think she's great. I really liked
- 42:17her. Yeah, I had her for the dude. Yeah. I thought
- 42:22she was really really great, and I found myself wishing she had more to
- 42:27do a little bit um as well. But everything she brought to the table
- 42:31was super fun. She was really smart. Like they're both of their looker
- 42:37and sam Neil's look of like awe when they see the dinosaurs is just the
- 42:40coolest thing, and they did that would be I feel like that that's a
- 42:45I wouldn't expect that to be hard, but I bet it's really hard because
- 42:49like a lot has to happen in that moment, right right, especially like
- 42:54a cardboard exactly. Yes, stare off into the distance like your entire world
- 43:01is shattering around him. Absolutely. Ah, yeah, yeah, they killed
- 43:07it. Yeah, that's a great yep. Yeah. I love her a
- 43:10lot. And there was a small time when I thought that, uh,
- 43:15what is the young lady's name, Arianna Richards? I thought she was Carrie
- 43:17Mulligan for a minute and I was like, yeah, because they look similar
- 43:22ish, I can totally see that, I can see yeah, But then
- 43:27I realized it wasn't. And but this gal Arianna Richards was in Tremors,
- 43:31and that's why I knew her face and the other because I loved Tremors.
- 43:37She was in. Did you guys ever see Angus? I never saw Angus.
- 43:43Yeah, I was filmed here in Minnesota, and like, just it's
- 43:46a fantastic film and she shows up in it and it was just one of
- 43:50those like answer girl from Drossing Park and she's wonderful in it. The kid
- 43:53that's doing like college application stuff. Yeah, yep, that there is no
- 44:00normal that that scene. Yes, it's that guy. That's a great movie.
- 44:05I forgot about that movie. Yeah, she's also in Prancer. I
- 44:10didn't see that. What the hell's Prancer? Classic holiday movie figure with the
- 44:17reindeer. It was either a dancer or a reindeer. I didn't know Sam
- 44:22Elliot, Sam Elliott. There it is so names ye names just dropping other
- 44:30movies on this movie podcast. Are there any other runners up that we feel
- 44:37like we have to say? I think we seriously said every person now that
- 44:43everyone did we say Gennara? I don't think we did say. I did
- 44:46think about Gennaro. I think he really does. He does a great job,
- 44:51feel like he doesn't to mention, I didn't realize he was wearing shorts,
- 44:55and so when they cut to him on the toilet, I was like,
- 44:58did this guy pull his pay down and start acts of the bathroom when
- 45:01he went into the toilet and then costa rica business? I mean, it
- 45:10was scary. I guess that there's a reason we use that turn of phrase.
- 45:15So, and there's another long standing debate about him, like the actor
- 45:19and the character because when he's when he's first getting pulled across, when you're
- 45:22first introduced to him. Um, I there's two unintentional falls that I think
- 45:27are in there. Is like I think him falling when he's going up to
- 45:30the the amber mine is an unintentional fall. And then um muldoon falls.
- 45:35He slips when he's coming around the car right before they find Malcolm. Yeah,
- 45:38in the bathroom, and our friend called out, like I was talking
- 45:43about it at Jurassic Easter, and he translated the Spanish that the guy says
- 45:47he's coming over, and he's like, yeah, he's he says, oh,
- 45:51it's a posts part of my Spanish. Spanish. I don't speak Spanish.
- 45:54A poistoi I bet a thousand hay soos that he falls. That's like
- 46:05years I've been thinking that this was like an unintentional fowl and like here's this
- 46:08line in Spanish, just like well, you know right, no Spanish,
- 46:15sure the best that he falls. I mean, that's funny, that's really
- 46:22funny. I'm damn stop. Yeah, I'm mono lingual. I'll say that
- 46:32I heard that. I barely do that. Well, all these guys,
- 46:39it was all these guys were incredible. Um, I think now we should
- 46:44go and try and pick our favorite scene. And let's picking. It's quite
- 46:51simple, really, Bengass, I could talk about my dingas all my long.
- 46:57All Right, I got it. I got it. It was difficult,
- 46:59but I got it. Hit it. Um. The kitchen scene with
- 47:02the raptors. With the Raptors absolutely, I mean, I mean, this
- 47:07whole movie is just a sequence of scenes that you'll love. I'm just like,
- 47:13oh, I love this, I love this part. Oh, I
- 47:14love this part. Um, this movie the sixth sense. That's another one
- 47:17that I feel that way about him. Um Um, But yeah, I
- 47:22think it's I was talking to my brother about our our memories of Jurassic Park
- 47:27and he was like, I remember, we could not wait for that scene
- 47:30because up to that point in our lives, it was the most intense thing
- 47:34we've ever seen. For sure, it felt like I didn't breathe that whole
- 47:38oh yeah scene when they're just walking around and they're like tapping their little claws
- 47:44on the on the floor. You see it, Yes, especially terrifying.
- 47:50He sat it up right. He talking about with that little kid that he
- 47:52scares the hell out cut you here and he'll cut you here you are alive
- 48:00and they begin to eat you. That's a great pick. Yeah, real
- 48:06good pick. I was on my list. I if I could have just
- 48:08written the whole movie, I would have because it started, like right away
- 48:13it started, and I was like, oh, this opening scene is so
- 48:15good. And Spielberg does that so well, Like his openings are so incredible,
- 48:21like going back to Jaws and like you don't see the shark and you
- 48:23don't see the raptor and just this intense craziness. Um, but I went
- 48:29with the t Rex scene from beginning to end is amazing, Like and as
- 48:35much as I love John Williams and his score, like the choice of not
- 48:37putting music under anything again and just relying on the sound effects and the melding
- 48:44of of viz effects between practicals and CG. The acting performances are incredible.
- 48:50I hands down, that is one of the best scenes I think in film
- 48:53history, when the t Rex bus through the roofs, just the pane of
- 49:00glass between the kids. That was my close second. Yeah, that was
- 49:07another one where like you couldn't stay sitting during that. You're like, yeah,
- 49:13stressful, still stressful, and the uh yeah, just seeing the water,
- 49:17the vibrating water, like it's just like cool. Yeah that if I
- 49:23have a glass of water, I'll just like hit the table. So the
- 49:28blast earth wind and fire and a right. Yes, yeah, Portly,
- 49:35I told you it's going to be just you're good. You're good. Um.
- 49:38I for sure picked that t rec scene as well. I mean had
- 49:42to ummus, what was your number one? Yeah, I think it's that.
- 49:49I really I kind of tipped my hand because I I really wanted to
- 49:52pick the first time they see the dinosaurs because that scene is wild to me,
- 50:00Like, it's so fun. There's so much like I can remember being
- 50:02like what the hell there's you know, like it's just incredible, you know,
- 50:08and just like the music that we've talked about, that's so good.
- 50:13But but I do think it's probably the t Rex thing. I mean,
- 50:15that's just it's so crazy and so terrifying. My runner up was for sure
- 50:22the raptor scene, though I had that as well. Yeah, that is
- 50:27great, it is great. I think I don't love that scene because it's
- 50:30a little too scary for me. And did we try during the scene.
- 50:39I can either confirm nor deny. Also additional runner up when they got to
- 50:45eat just all those desserts, because that was a dream of fat little Beau,
- 50:53her terrified face with the green yellow that's in my list. The jello
- 51:00jic how many times. So we used to have dinner at my grandma's every
- 51:02Saturday growing up, and she always had red Jello yes on the table.
- 51:08So guess what we were doing every Saturday. Well, it was so iconic
- 51:14in pop culture. That was like the Matrix bullet time thing before the Matrix
- 51:17came out, Like everybody had to spoof Jello sequence yes, and so satisfying
- 51:23because so many times in movies you see people like about to eat something and
- 51:27they don't, and then you're using like Joseph Mazzello just like digging into these
- 51:30screen treats, just loving life, like yeah he almost died, Yeah,
- 51:36I go nuts. Yeah that's what that kid was gotten. Shocked the crap
- 51:39shocked out of him too. You know, I'm gonna have some pie.
- 51:45I'm all set. My life expectancy is probably drastically lower now, so I'm
- 51:49just gonna go I don't care what happens. Yeah. I had originally written
- 51:53down the opening scene yeah with the raptor, and I think I mean what
- 52:00what this movie does so well, it's all about what you don't see.
- 52:05Yeah, it was so titillating. It just set it up so well,
- 52:08you're like, holy craply, you just see a little bit of it.
- 52:13This disaster happens, and it fades away into a blissful scene. So I
- 52:20also picked that, but I gotta stick with the kitchen scene for sure.
- 52:23I had never noticed that. They they do like a there's lightning and stuff
- 52:28going on right there too, and you see through the trees like an outline
- 52:32of what we find out is the crate that the dinosaur is in, but
- 52:36it looks like a t rex. And I'd never noticed that before or don't
- 52:38remember it anyway, And I was like, use salty dog, Like that
- 52:42is awesome. I love that. That's so fun, Yeah, brilliant.
- 52:46Yeah, especially like we you know the logo on Rob's shirt, right,
- 52:51Like we all knew that's what we're coming in for, right, so we
- 52:53were expecting the t rex right away, and then to get sort of teased
- 52:59with that. It was just so fun. I like them a lot.
- 53:00That's great. Yeah, nice. Yeah, Well, if we had to
- 53:06pick one, would we maybe say the t rax scene. I've been playing
- 53:09scene just bug doesn't get nightmares? Nice, Yes, we don't want that.
- 53:16Well, let's talk about some of these quotes, you guys. Let's
- 53:20go to show me to my day. I my quotes that I wrote down.
- 53:31It looks like the scribblings of a psychopath. You can confirm she wrote
- 53:38most of them in. I literally just started writing the entire movie. I
- 53:43was like, just I'll start, you know, at the bend of the
- 53:45movie, I'll just write down what quote quote speak to me. And I
- 53:47started writing it so much, so my favorite Yeah, it's just like I
- 53:52hate science over and over and over. Thank you keep that going. I
- 53:59like it. I'm sorry, I'm gonna I'm gonna get a shirt that says
- 54:04I love science. We'll go ahead to say, a couple of your fans,
- 54:10Okay, your your scientists were so prereoccupied with whether or not they could
- 54:17they didn't stop to think if they should. Yeah. Love that line,
- 54:22yep, brilliant, that whole Like I almost wrote down that whole scene because
- 54:27like the back and forth between the two of them, like every line is
- 54:29so good. I know, I know, I was like scrapping yep.
- 54:32I did like almost like for the ding is I almost put in like two
- 54:37like just actors scenes, but I was like, I have to put in
- 54:40dinosaurs because it's got to be the main part. Um one that we actually
- 54:47let use a lot in our everyday life is um, mister Hammond, we're
- 54:52back in business. Love that love that's amazing. Yeah, yeah, Denis
- 55:00Dennis, our lives are in your hands and you have Bota fingers. That
- 55:06was another one like that. Yeah, and of course the the one that
- 55:10made us belly laugh. Now that is one big pile of Yes. I
- 55:15loved that too. It was too there was like always preemptive giggles before ye
- 55:22yeah again goblums the man, Yes, yeah, just sells it the dude.
- 55:28Ye, mine are a little more off the cuff. I think.
- 55:31Um, I will always be a fan of dots and dots and we got
- 55:34dots in here. We've got dots in here, we got dots cares Nobody
- 55:37cares. Um the There's there's a line that Jennaro says as they're like spinning
- 55:45and they're seeing the lab technicians, and he asks, are they are they
- 55:49auto erotica? Yes, yes, yes, I don't think I had ever
- 55:52caught that until this last rewatch. What is that guy's outside life, that
- 55:58this is where it gets do and then of course Sam Jackson and hold onto
- 56:02your butts, Hold onto your butts. But so good. We get it
- 56:08a couple times. I love that. I have so many more, but
- 56:15I know yeah, um shoot shoot, always love that one. I mean
- 56:25clever girl is Yes, what a line to say before scene also made it
- 56:34in one of my top favorite scenes. Yes, absolutely, because he he
- 56:38even talks about it before. He's like he's going to come out at the
- 56:42side like he knows all about these raptors. Still falls for it. Yeah,
- 56:46that's a draft we should do someday. Lines right before that? Would
- 56:52that would be number one. I can't even think of it. It would
- 56:53be It'd probably be hard to actually do, but it's I do like that
- 56:58draft. That's a great I did. Could it be like a line right
- 57:01before you die? Or could it just be a line before someone dies?
- 57:05That's a good call, like when you're killing someone that's a lot of fear.
- 57:10Would be a good final line. I like it. Write this down.
- 57:15We must not forget um another one that we also get an Independence day
- 57:22Jeff Goldbam, must go faster, Must go faster. Yes, I love
- 57:27that so much love that, Um, why why don't you go abuts?
- 57:31You can say some uh, just the whole talk right before he does the
- 57:38What I'm saying is life finds a way that was very good. It cannot
- 57:45be contained. Life break free, it expands it. You know, he
- 57:49does this whole weird. His patter is so fun. I love the water
- 57:53so great. Um, I think I say he left us. He left
- 58:00us like more than most people read. Bus totally agree. Every when we
- 58:07were on tour, I would say that anytime anyone left the van, like
- 58:10if we're supposed to be somewhere and someone I was just like, left us.
- 58:17You say it like that every time. Pretty much. Anytime we walk
- 58:21out of the room and the cats come running after us, I just imagine
- 58:25that they're a little Yes, I love that. I didn't remember this one,
- 58:30but the uh Malcolm when he's like, you're married occasionally, yeah,
- 58:37I was on the lookout for future x missus. Malcolm's agreed, and I
- 58:40loved that. That was fun. Uh Tim When he goes like I threw
- 58:49up in correct me, I'm so hard, like, yeah, dude,
- 58:52you're over a wall. Throw up people. Well we're back in again yet,
- 59:04the tree and again so many little back and forth like because he's asking
- 59:08him if he ever had a tree house and ms like no, I never
- 59:10had a three else and he just under his breath, damn it. So
- 59:15just perfect stuff meat meat eating Meatosaurus is one more shout out to a girl,
- 59:24Laura Dern when Goldblum does the you know, God creates dinosaurs, God
- 59:29destroys dinosaurs, and then she comes in with the dinosaurs eat man woman inherits
- 59:35the earth so fun, damnyl and Jeff Goblum gives so perfect that's adorable,
- 59:42and all the women cheer. Oh. Also, I didn't say the magic
- 59:51word, but he doesn't say I really thought he did. He says crap.
- 1:00:00He does say crap. What have they gotten there? King Kong?
- 1:00:04Yes, perfect, we spared no expense. Oh, he says that a
- 1:00:08lot. I didn't remember that. It's like twelve times and like different intentions
- 1:00:15behind them too, so brilliant. Also like kind of defeated one that shows
- 1:00:21that he's wrong immediately because clearly they did spare some expense because Nedri is over
- 1:00:25because he wants more money, so some expense was spared. He's hoisted by
- 1:00:32his own Huberst because he thinks somebody's just layers upon layers upon layers. No,
- 1:00:40now, eventually you do you do have dinosaurs on your your dinosaur,
- 1:00:45right, all I do that? Man? Yes? Yes, cute.
- 1:00:57I really do get the entire movie just beginning to end. Could quote it
- 1:01:02because again, Yeah, the speech that Grant gives the kid, yeah,
- 1:01:07is so perfect and terrifying and wonderful and like sets up your hero character as
- 1:01:12this guy who has absolutely no problem just scaring the absolute crap on of a
- 1:01:15child. We're rooting for this guy. Okay, So a couple of interesting
- 1:01:22ones though, Muldoon when he says that they should all be destroyed, that's
- 1:01:25kind of chilling. Yeah, yeah when you think about it, like,
- 1:01:30oh dang, but it said so like it's in like a happy moment.
- 1:01:35Yeah. They kind of like ignore him, right, They're just like,
- 1:01:37yeah, okay, Grandpa, calm down. Yeah. Um. And then
- 1:01:43the imprint on the first creature they come in contact with helps them to trust
- 1:01:47me, which I find it interesting that they never use that plot point.
- 1:01:52Yeah, that was left on the cutting room floor apparently. Yeah, like,
- 1:01:57have a dinosaur actually like come up to him. At one point point
- 1:02:00when they're free and kind of recognize him and give them like a little confused
- 1:02:02blinks, yeah, kind of walk like runaway. They kind of did it
- 1:02:07in the Chris Pratt Ones. Yeah, I know a little bit in those
- 1:02:10Abominations. Yeah, but that's the Chris Pratt Ones. And I care about
- 1:02:15John Hans. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Chris practice. No. Richard
- 1:02:17Attenborough, Ye, we'll see. I'm sure he's going to remake The Great
- 1:02:24Escape at some point and we'll be able to see him in a British role.
- 1:02:28Yeah, no, yes, I can, but but let's not.
- 1:02:35Let's not. I liked all major theme parks have delays. When they opened
- 1:02:38Disneyland in nineteen fifty six, nothing worked, and Malcolm says, yeah,
- 1:02:43but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't
- 1:02:45eat the tourists, that's good. Yep, so many good ones. Sexism
- 1:02:54and survival situations. When I get back, Yes, ye, should we
- 1:02:59chance moving in? Please chance it. I also love the kids. I
- 1:03:06hate trees. They don't bother me. Yeah, well you weren't in the
- 1:03:09last one. You were in the last one. And then the follow up
- 1:03:13to that is, I bet I can get to the top and over before
- 1:03:15you can even get to the top. Will you give me respect? Respect?
- 1:03:22Yeah? Those kids are great. Yep, they had a mighty good
- 1:03:24screenwriter on that one. They did. Yeah for sure. Well that's all
- 1:03:30I got. Yeah. Well, and then just of course, just welcome
- 1:03:34to Jurassic Park the way Yeah, of course, and then the music and
- 1:03:38then everything, which I'm sure might have brought a tear to an eye.
- 1:03:44So I think we should go to bugs boohoo moments the crying game. Strong
- 1:03:52men also cry strong men also, So I picked I only picked three because
- 1:04:02I feel like it was too scary unless you had frightened tears. So I
- 1:04:06don't know about that. Frightened Um, okay, it's a thing. So
- 1:04:15I'll throw out the three that I thought of. If you guys have more,
- 1:04:18feel free to throw in. But um, the first one is just
- 1:04:21when we get the first music seeing the Island. Hell yeah, yeah,
- 1:04:27absolutely so great. Um one that you mentioned already, but when she says
- 1:04:33he left us, he left us and he says that's not what I'm going
- 1:04:38to do. Oh that's a good line. I forgot that line the like
- 1:04:41follow up to it. Cool. Yeah, that got me for sure.
- 1:04:45It got you, okay, cool, and then I didn't know. I
- 1:04:49didn't know what, but I just like when they're leaving and like the kids
- 1:04:54are on him as they're leaving the island, the reluctant dad. Oh no,
- 1:05:01mm hmm. That's hard because it is close to one where I did
- 1:05:05cry. But it was when they're in the tree, when when he's on
- 1:05:09him the tree, it was Hammond looking at the island right before they get
- 1:05:14him the choppers, like he like grabs his arm and you know, just
- 1:05:19kind of like seeing his dream, you know, fall into chaos around him.
- 1:05:24And yeah, I like totally get that one. Yeah cool, But
- 1:05:30that was all I had. That's all I could think of. Did you
- 1:05:32guys think of more? Yeah? Actually the ice cream scene where Ellie and
- 1:05:41John Hammond are talking circus. He's so intense during that scene. I loved
- 1:05:47that. Yeah, yeah, that did. That was my other pick for
- 1:05:51the dingest boom that didn't involve a dinosaur. Two of them. It's a
- 1:05:56great scene except she didn't have arms long enough to get to the ice cream.
- 1:06:00But other than that, Laura during his gumby, we was dabbled.
- 1:06:04It's scientific I had I had five so I also said the ending where the
- 1:06:12kids sleep on grant Um the first appear like the first time on the island.
- 1:06:15I kind of grouped him with the first shot of the Brachiosaurus. Sure,
- 1:06:17yep, yep. I counted that as one kind of thing. Yeah,
- 1:06:21the triceratop scene, that didn't. I love that scene, though I
- 1:06:28should have said that for a favorite scene. I love love sick animals.
- 1:06:31He's always che no tears, ye yes, should have been a veterinarian.
- 1:06:41I had Tim in the fence when you think he's dead. Oh no,
- 1:06:45that didn't get me. Okay, more scary. I think that because I
- 1:06:49was like, wouldn't he actually just be dead? It was only ten thousand
- 1:06:55volts bugs boy, but wouldn't. But I don't think they can bring it
- 1:07:00back. I don't know. I don't I'm not a doctor. I don't
- 1:07:02believe in science like Jenny. I am also not a science believers. The
- 1:07:08worst it's by the end of this podcast, we're all going to be out.
- 1:07:11It is like anti science. Terrible. Last last one I had was
- 1:07:16the reunion of Eli and grant when right after the raptor scene, she runs
- 1:07:20up and hug yeah yeah, and the hug and she's like, yeah,
- 1:07:28that's like freaking yeah, I don't know that sound as a reunion of two
- 1:07:33people of each other. Yeah, I didn't know the one was alive.
- 1:07:38Feel like that's one of my favorite Laura Derna moments. Actually, yeah,
- 1:07:41you know my favorite m those are the five I had nice how many did
- 1:07:50you have? Bugs? It was five? It was, but it was
- 1:07:55like, guess yeah, because the tricera paps can get me. But I
- 1:08:00forget what the other one was that was added on to it. But yeah,
- 1:08:03you guys nailed it more well. The assist Yeah, I thought,
- 1:08:09I mean, it's too as many. I don't know this movie. Yeah,
- 1:08:14I yah, I'm so freaked out. The actual tears. Yeah,
- 1:08:17it's it's tough. It's tough like this one. But I for sure thought
- 1:08:20the brackysaurs because I teared up during that moment. I like I might go
- 1:08:27rewatch. That might just be on the list of like things I rewatch when
- 1:08:30I want to cry. Get it, I really need to get there.
- 1:08:34I'm gonna pop this scene on. Absolutely, it doesn't doesn't think a lot.
- 1:08:39Let's read a little movie trivia, now, say yes, let's do
- 1:08:43it. Apparently the movie in the book generated so much interest in dinosaurs that
- 1:08:48the study of paleontology has had record increases since this came out, which I
- 1:08:53think is really fun. I love that so much. Yeah, and totally
- 1:08:58could see that. Yeah opping it. Let's see, the crew had to
- 1:09:02have safety meetings about the t rex. It weighed twelve thousand pounds and was
- 1:09:08extremely powerful. They used flashing lights to announce when it was about to come
- 1:09:12on to alert the crew because if you stood next to it or next to
- 1:09:15it and the head went by at speed, it felt like a bus going
- 1:09:18by. They literally created a monster to terrifying ye. Also further terrifying based
- 1:09:27on this one, the t rex occasionally malfunctioned due to rain. Producer Kathleen
- 1:09:31Kennedy recalls the t rex went into the hebgbs sometimes scared the crap out of
- 1:09:36us. We'd be eating lunch and all of a sudden, the t rex
- 1:09:40would come alive. At first, we didn't know what was happening, and
- 1:09:42then we realized it was the rain. You just hear people start screaming.
- 1:09:49They would have to take like toweling off breaks for the t rex. In
- 1:09:55betweens, it would just start like the Rex the first time, I would
- 1:10:01have absolutely craped my bands. Oh, I can't imagine, I can't some
- 1:10:06craftyes, and the t Rex just starts as shaken, and then you know,
- 1:10:10like that's what they would they would put like the new crew next to
- 1:10:14the t Rex. Is just hoping that would happen. You know, every
- 1:10:15time a new person become sentient, do it the train today? Okay,
- 1:10:27let's see. According to the behind the scenes book The Making of Jurassic Park,
- 1:10:31an adventure sixty five million years in the making, the infamous roar of
- 1:10:35the t Rex was a composite mix of a dog, a penguin, a
- 1:10:41tiger's snarl, alligators gurgle, and a baby elephant's squeal. M. I
- 1:10:47thought that was incredible. And a side note of the baby elephant was it
- 1:10:54made a noise that even the trainer was like, I've never heard it made
- 1:10:57that. Yeah, And that became like they said, that was kind of
- 1:11:00like the lynchpin noise if I read right, which is crazy to think about,
- 1:11:03right, to think that the like the high end would be, yeah,
- 1:11:06the lynchman, Like I would have a one hundred percent imagine it would
- 1:11:10have been like the lions roar. Yeah, right, crazy, yet it
- 1:11:13worked. I love sound effects so much, so far a weird like alchemy
- 1:11:19that they have to do to try and find just the right thing. It's
- 1:11:23crazy. Let's see. When Hurricane Niki hit, the cast and crew were
- 1:11:29all required to move into the ballroom of the hotel that they were staying at.
- 1:11:33But Sir Richard Attenborough, however, stayed in this hotel room and slept
- 1:11:38through the entire event. When asked the next day how he possibly could have
- 1:11:42done this, he just replied, my dear boy, I survived the blitz,
- 1:11:45which I think it's like the coolest response you can have. The hell
- 1:11:50do I care about a hurricane? I'm not scared. Yep, right up
- 1:11:55there with the trivia of yes, I think I know what we're gonna say.
- 1:12:00Go on, no now, I blanked on it because it wasn't to
- 1:12:04this movie, right, No, no, no, no, yeah,
- 1:12:06it was a movie. It was t you guys would have done during Lord
- 1:12:09of the Rings. Lord of the Rings. Yeah, yeah, it was
- 1:12:11um what's his nuts who played Sorromona? Christopher? Yeah, the I know
- 1:12:17what a what? A man getting stabbed in the back sounds like they're like,
- 1:12:21oh, like scream out, and he was like, actually, you
- 1:12:24wouldn't make any noise, rights like all these grizzled World War two survivor the
- 1:12:30day. Let's uh, let's get him right here. Chill for a while.
- 1:12:35Where's Richard I sleeping through the hurricane? Who Ever thinks that British guys
- 1:12:42aren't tough? It's like, here's a couple of examples for you. Yeah,
- 1:12:45right, exactly exactly. Let's see. Oh I thought this was fun.
- 1:12:50The guests encounter with the sick tress Aratops ends without any clear explanation as
- 1:12:55to why the animal is sick, but in the original novel and in the
- 1:12:59screenplayer Richard, we get an explanation, and it is that the Stegosaurus slash
- 1:13:03Triceratops lacked suitable teeth for grinding food, and so, like birds, they
- 1:13:09would swallow rocks and use them as gizzard stones in the digestive tract. These
- 1:13:14rocks would grind the food and aid in digestion, and after six weeks,
- 1:13:17which is the time frame they say it happens every six weeks, the rocks
- 1:13:21would become too smooth to be useful and the animal would regurgitate them, and
- 1:13:27then they would find new rocks to use, and they would then they would
- 1:13:31swallow the West Indian lilac berries that they mentioned, and the fact that they
- 1:13:35were regurgitated is why they weren't in the poopy. I thought that was kind
- 1:13:41of fun. You just wanted to talk about poope, YEA love it one
- 1:13:53of our favorites. So good. The mister DNA cartoon was Spielberg's way of
- 1:13:59condensing much of the novel's exposition into a brilliant looked so great. I love
- 1:14:03that so perfect, so much so. I always thought they're called him mister
- 1:14:09deedle de mister mister. I did not find out that was mister DNA for
- 1:14:15a while. Mister shape like a devil Helix would never he will always be
- 1:14:20mister deedle d I like it DNA isn't real because it sounds like as to
- 1:14:28be fair, it does look right. Yeah, as a kid like you're
- 1:14:30just programmed to hear silly things. What kind of his googly eyes? M
- 1:14:36thank you, absolutely absolutely. I thought this was fun. When when Creyton
- 1:14:42was asked why the novel has Jurassic in the title and has a dinosaur from
- 1:14:45the christ or from the Cretaceous period, on the cover. He Repott had
- 1:14:49never occurred to him, and he just thought it looked best. Looks cool
- 1:14:55off, right, Yeah, your nerd get out of my books because you
- 1:15:00picked them because they look good. Yeah, it's from the movie. Let's
- 1:15:13see. They gave Michael Crichton two million dollars for the rights to this novel,
- 1:15:17Universal Pictures did before it was even published, and also before it was
- 1:15:23published, he demanded a non negotiable one point five million as a substantial percentage
- 1:15:29of the gross. So he's doing I did not know what that's that's interesting
- 1:15:33to know. Just like Bob Peck, he's dead. Sorry, he's dead.
- 1:15:39He's branched though he was Spielberg, and just like Jenny, turns out
- 1:15:45he's a science denier. So if he didn't believe this climate change, you
- 1:15:49want to pick a different, different dude, or I want to pick him
- 1:15:56pick it's differ. It didn't work. Steven Spielberg was in the early stages
- 1:16:02of pre production for the movie Ar, based also on the novel by Crichton.
- 1:16:08When he heard about Jurassic Park book. He subsequently dumped what he was
- 1:16:12doing to make this movie and afterwards returned to Er and helped develop it into
- 1:16:17a TV series, which I thought was super cool. I didn't know that
- 1:16:19wash See, I didn't know it was an er movie that they're working I
- 1:16:23knew they were working on something. Yeah, that is so cool. Also,
- 1:16:27R was a book that I'm interested to know what. I read a
- 1:16:30lot in his books. I didn't know that that was one of them.
- 1:16:32Yeah, it's it's one of his earliest ones, called Five Patients. Yeah,
- 1:16:36it's from his early days like doing residency and stuff like that. That's
- 1:16:40cool, cool, Yes, it's interesting. I thought this was fun.
- 1:16:45Arianna Richards audition consisted of standing in front of a camera and screaming wildly.
- 1:16:49He wanted to see how how she could show fear. Richard remembers, and
- 1:16:57she says, I heard later the oh I heard later on Stephen had watched
- 1:17:01a few girls on tape that day, weird sentence, and I was the
- 1:17:04only one who ended up waking his sleeping wife off the couch. She came
- 1:17:09running through the hallway to see if the kids were all right. Which that's
- 1:17:13a great auditions audition. Her scream literally got her the job. He said
- 1:17:19it was the only scream that was bone chilling enough that reminded him of Fay
- 1:17:24Ray's scream from the original King Kong because he was kind of they were kind
- 1:17:29of using King Kong as like a basis for like, um, I don't
- 1:17:32want to call it a monster movie because he actually doesn't consider Jurassic Park a
- 1:17:35monster movie. Um, but they were. They were kind of pulling from
- 1:17:41King Kong a lot, so I'm sure he had been watching it a lot,
- 1:17:43so that was probably That's cool. Yeah, nice, But yeah,
- 1:17:47just like scream, that's like the silly I like, which is it's a
- 1:17:55lot of her okay, which is funny because we did have a screaming portion
- 1:17:58in our acting class and I got an A plus. Nice. Yes,
- 1:18:01I remember when people would do it. It was a weird time to be
- 1:18:04in the hallway. Yeah. Yes. Also the juggling final you know that
- 1:18:11was everyone is juggling in the hallway and like, didn't you guys have to
- 1:18:15like hug each other for But what is it? Brian Skelliger tells that story
- 1:18:20about God. I can't remember what teacher, but she like was like basically
- 1:18:28spooning him from behind, like saying it was like an acting exercise. It
- 1:18:32was a breathing your hand wrapped the arms around and but you know him,
- 1:18:41he tells the story. It's hysterical. Oh, absolutely, yes, let's
- 1:18:46see. The most difficult effect to pull off was the vibrating rings of water,
- 1:18:50which I never ever would have suspected. Spielberg wanted the t Rex to
- 1:18:56announce its presence somehow before the audience saw it, and got the idea from
- 1:19:00watching the mirror in his car vibrate from bass while listening to earth, wind
- 1:19:03and Fire as previously mentioned. And when Michael Lantieri tried to replicate that with
- 1:19:12water, it was harder than any of the dinosaur effects. Nobody knew how
- 1:19:16to do it, but told Spielberg they could, they'd figure it out.
- 1:19:19Basically, the night before the shoot, Lantieri put a glass of water on
- 1:19:24a guitar and when he plucked the strings, that did it. So for
- 1:19:28the scene, they fed guitar strings under the dashboard of the car to get
- 1:19:31the effect, and a man on the floor plucked the strings to get the
- 1:19:35effect. I just think that's the movies, man, God bless the imagination.
- 1:19:43Seriously, they must have tried nine thousand different things right before the right
- 1:19:48They're like, we built a t Rex, but now I'm gonna have to
- 1:19:53sit under here and go flying ring or the sea or the d which chord
- 1:20:00makes met? Yeah. I feel like the water rings in the Jello kind
- 1:20:03of became the nic Yeah, absolutely, because there's definitely a scene. I
- 1:20:10can't think of what it was. If it was like the clumps or something.
- 1:20:13It probably was maybe Nuttie Professor. But they did him walking because he
- 1:20:16was off fat and they did the water rings bit as like an homage.
- 1:20:21Yeah, for sure, happen somewhere. It's deering is his nightmare? That's
- 1:20:26right? Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, for sure. Uh oh,
- 1:20:31and I thought this was very silly. Samuel Jackson was supposed to fly
- 1:20:34to Hawaii to film Arnold's death scene, but a hurricane destroyed the set and
- 1:20:39the scene had to be scrapped. So that's why he's just an arm which
- 1:20:44I think is that works out so much better. Yeah, it works really
- 1:20:46well. Yep, so much better. It's like George Lucas having limited technology
- 1:20:51at his fingers, his fingertips for the first three Star Wars movies, which
- 1:20:56in turn made them better because we all see what happened when he got to
- 1:21:00the technology. Yep, he made master made Charger really stuff. Yeah.
- 1:21:06The the idea that you're living with Ellie and not knowing what happened to him
- 1:21:12makes it a million times better. Yea, so much more about what you
- 1:21:15don't see. Ye ye so good. Yeah, that so good. On
- 1:21:19Hurricane All I had, Yeah, I had a few things. James Cameron
- 1:21:26has stated that he wanted to make this movie, but the rights were bought
- 1:21:29a few hours before he could bid. Upon seeing this movie, Cameron realized
- 1:21:33Spielberg was the better choice to direct it, as his version would have been
- 1:21:36much more violent. I think Aliens with dinosaurs, which wouldn't have been fair
- 1:21:44to children who relate to dinosaurs. But the visual effects were directly influenced by
- 1:21:48Terminator two. Judgment Day sure huh um, I wanted to see like the
- 1:21:56Aliens version of Jurassic Park though, Like that was pretty incredible. Yeah,
- 1:22:00yea, let's go back in time and cast Michael Bean as Alan Grant Weaver.
- 1:22:05Okay, someone needs to do this all uh, pride, prejudice and
- 1:22:10zombies. Yeah, you know it's going to be ridiculous. You're gonna have
- 1:22:15a fun time during love that Um. As far as like actors that were
- 1:22:21up for other Roles. Um. I saw that Sean Connery was offered the
- 1:22:28role of Hammond. Um, but he turned it down. I mean he's
- 1:22:31Scottish, like it makes a lot of sense in this Um, so he
- 1:22:36Why was it he turned down John Hammond and Gandolf? Yeah yeah, liked
- 1:22:43real solid career choices, interesting picks for that guy. Yeah, well he
- 1:22:47had Yeah, he had to do a League of Extraordinary gentlemen. Yeah.
- 1:22:50Yeah, the movies entertaining me. You want to go out on? Yeah,
- 1:22:57picturing um, Magan a Pi, Tom Selleck. I don't know.
- 1:23:02Oh funny, funny, that had been an interesting him. I think yes,
- 1:23:09I think that's why. Okay got yours in the old I get that.
- 1:23:14Um, Jim Carrey was considered for Malcolm. Oh, okay interesting.
- 1:23:19I could see it, um yeah, yeah, I could see it like
- 1:23:24later, I couldn't have seen it like ninety three. Jim Carrey real big
- 1:23:31Um. Yeah. As far as Ellie Sadler, I saw that Sandra Bullock,
- 1:23:36Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Helen Hunt, Terry Hatcher, and Elizabeth
- 1:23:43Hurley all tested for it, and then um, Julianne Moore ended up doing
- 1:23:48Lost World, right, yea. I saw a part of Helen Hunt's audition.
- 1:23:55Oh you did, I did. It's on YouTube, you can look
- 1:23:58it up. Yeah. Everything cool. Yeah, and I have to say
- 1:24:02I think she would have made a really good Ellis Hadler. I believe that.
- 1:24:06Yeah, yeah, she was killed her and Twister right, yeah,
- 1:24:11yeah, I was impressed. Yeah. Nice. Um I saw that.
- 1:24:15Oh when James Cameron if he would have done it, he wanted to do
- 1:24:18it with Arnold as Grant, Bill Paxton as Malcolm, and Charlton Heston as
- 1:24:27Hammond. One out of three ain't bad. Yeah yeah. Um. It
- 1:24:33looks like Kurt Russell turned down the role of doctor Alan Grant due to salary
- 1:24:36demands and um for the fur Lax who Arianna Richards played, Anna Chlumski and
- 1:24:45Christina Ricci auditioned for the role probably would have been great too. She was
- 1:24:51in My Girl back in the day and she most recently has been on Veep.
- 1:24:57Um. Yeah but yeah My Girl rough Oh gosh, she can't even
- 1:25:04think about that movie. That was all I had, you, guys,
- 1:25:12I just had a couple a couple of things. Um, when Lex falls
- 1:25:16through the ceiling and the ractors snapping at her, stunt double accidentally looked up
- 1:25:23during the take it, so it ended up being super super expensive because they
- 1:25:28decided to see g Lex's face because it looked weird. If you if you
- 1:25:32like, do like a pause, like keep playing and pausing. You can
- 1:25:36see it doesn't line up as she's like turning her head all the way down.
- 1:25:41There's a third moment. Yeah, I happened to pause it on and
- 1:25:43I was like, oh no, that's terrible. I went back and looked
- 1:25:45because I was like, did something look weird there? And I was like,
- 1:25:48oh yeah, yep, that's yeah. It wasn't supposed to happen.
- 1:25:51But that's like that's like in Titanic when they're running down the hallway and the
- 1:25:57yes, it's the stunt people and they tried to like cg their faces.
- 1:26:01It was so bad, bad move. It was horrible film them from so
- 1:26:06we don't see their faces, right, Yeah, that would have been a
- 1:26:10good goal. U. So this, I don't know if this is trivia.
- 1:26:15It's more of an observation that I made. Um, I like it
- 1:26:20already. So the workers at Jurassic Park are wearing baby Pink t shirts with
- 1:26:32matching baby Pink belts as their uniform with khaki shorts. So if you kind
- 1:26:42of think about that, it's a dinosaur theme park, why did they choose
- 1:26:47baby pink? And I feel like, especially when this was made, it
- 1:26:51wasn't as like discussed, like like gender colors and like you know what,
- 1:26:59men can wear a pink shirts, and like it wasn't such a thing as
- 1:27:01it is now. So I'm just I'm just curious as to that choice.
- 1:27:06Um, why do you nothing else's baby pink? You know they're all ladies,
- 1:27:12right, all the dinosaurs are ladies, the female chromosomes. I actually
- 1:27:17thought that was the same reason that he has, uh both of the for
- 1:27:23lack of better worth the female belt buckles at the beginning as well, and
- 1:27:27then he shows life finds away by tying the knot when he's in the chopper,
- 1:27:30right, sam Maile does what he's trying to do the thing. I
- 1:27:35think it's the same thing. So I think those are probably two of the
- 1:27:39same example. I would guess pink belt because of female dinosaurs. Yeah right,
- 1:27:43yeah, yep, maybe maybe the lines Fieldberg's drawing. I like it.
- 1:27:50You know, with allegory we need pink belts. That is super interesting.
- 1:27:56Bugs. Yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah, gone,
- 1:27:59good call out. Mhmm, yeah that was what I had. I had,
- 1:28:03um, and this was a fun one. Um, doctor Malcolm's equipped
- 1:28:09to when she's asking Grant about you know, what do you think and he
- 1:28:12says, I think we're out of a job, and Malcolm says, don't
- 1:28:14you mean extinct? Was actually a line that Phil Tippett the He was a
- 1:28:18stop motion animator. He was going to create the stop motion graphics for the
- 1:28:24movie. That was his pitch, so instead of doing CGI, it was
- 1:28:27all going to be stop motion and UM, the guys at the vis effects
- 1:28:32guys were like, no, we can do this with CG. And so
- 1:28:33when they showed the first test footage to Phil Tippet, um, he kind
- 1:28:38of looked over at Spielberg and says, well, I think I'm extinct.
- 1:28:41Nice And they worked that incredible. So they gave that line to Malcolm.
- 1:28:45And then one of the things that of course is going to bug every Jurassic
- 1:28:49Park fan is the appearance of the trench next to the t Rex paddock.
- 1:28:55Um, because it's when Lex and Tim look over their eye level with the
- 1:28:59goat and then all of a sudden, when it's pushing the car over.
- 1:29:01There's this. Surberg was asked about it, and he openly said, he's
- 1:29:08like, I don't care. It made for good cinema, you know what,
- 1:29:13man, good on you. I don't care. I think I even
- 1:29:15noticed it, or didn't you point it out? Like where is that trench?
- 1:29:18Couples? Like what are you talking about? We were rewounded, like
- 1:29:21oh oh, oh, my gosh. Yeah, because he had to get
- 1:29:25the tree scene and in the novel the t Rex picks the car up and
- 1:29:29throws it like with his mouth, and there was no way that that was
- 1:29:31going to happen with the vise effects that they could do. So well,
- 1:29:35we got to get the car into the tree somehow make a trench cool yep.
- 1:29:42Wow. I was just assumed it was like the other side of the
- 1:29:45road or something, which thought But yeah, I didn't think about it.
- 1:29:53Yes, the seat belts, but not that. It's just what we all
- 1:30:00like pick up. You're looking for the deep like rooted connections, like what
- 1:30:03ties this thematically together? I'm yeah, this guy, And then I could
- 1:30:15go on for days about like differences between the book and the movie. Oh
- 1:30:18for sure, Yeah, just like the character deaths and the changes and the
- 1:30:23way it fo Yeah, it's so great. Yeah, but definitely one of
- 1:30:28those um, when you read the book and watch the movie, they're just
- 1:30:32uncomparable. They're both so good fun when that happens, though, because a
- 1:30:38lot of times you have all that baggage of like, oh I really pictured
- 1:30:42it this way since I thought, But when you can like be like,
- 1:30:45oh I get why they went this way with the movie, then it's it
- 1:30:49makes it just like a totally different thing. Yeah. Absolutely enjoy both.
- 1:30:53Yeah. I didn't read the book until after I had seen the movie.
- 1:30:57I probably read the books a little too young. I don't know. I
- 1:31:00thought it was really hard and gritty, and then when I was done,
- 1:31:02I went back to playing with my barbies. Nice. Yeah, so it
- 1:31:09was nice to not have any preconceis I've got like four copies if you want
- 1:31:12to borrow one. It's nice because we live close. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:31:19great. Yeah. Did you guys have any other trivia or was that I
- 1:31:24mean, aside from all the different book stuff? Nope? Nice. Well,
- 1:31:30the next part we do is Judgment Day. Will there be a sequel?
- 1:31:31And we know there's so many there's just maybe two many another Yeah,
- 1:31:36one might argue probably yeah, just none of them lived up to this one,
- 1:31:43did they. I would say, you know what, the Lost World
- 1:31:45is a lot of fun. It is I really enjoy I feel like we're
- 1:31:48still riding our dinosaur high through the Lost World. And then that's the second
- 1:31:54one, and by the third one, three, it was like okay,
- 1:32:00yeah, I will still say like it's entertaining. I like watching it.
- 1:32:03It's entertaining for me, but I wouldn't say it's good. I still haven't
- 1:32:09watched the one, the most recent one where they brought everybody back, because
- 1:32:13I just heard it was such a turd. But I was like, it's
- 1:32:15not great, but it turns fun. This guy just watched it without me.
- 1:32:21Tild We were going to sit through that monstrosity together. We didn't do
- 1:32:30that monstrosity alone. Ye. Yeah, I went to the theater and saw
- 1:32:34it, and, um, great story. There was some fun action in
- 1:32:40it, though, I will give them this, there was there was some
- 1:32:43fun action. Um. We didn't even mention bead Wong. He was like
- 1:32:45one of the only guys that came back to the most recent one. But
- 1:32:50he just has like one line and a little scene. Narky, So she
- 1:32:57has going back to trivia Um. He signed on having read the book and
- 1:33:01thought that like a huge part because Woo was a huge part throughout the novel
- 1:33:05and either like we only need you for a day. Yeah, it's like,
- 1:33:09what that's a little devastating, but hey, you got to be in
- 1:33:13the movie. I will say that the sequel in the New Trilogy, I
- 1:33:18thought Falling Kingdom, like when you take out the beginning part on the island,
- 1:33:21which was HOGI and kind of trite, like once they get to the
- 1:33:25mansion and it kind of becomes a horror movie. I thought it was super
- 1:33:29interesting that because they tried taking it in a different direction the second one of
- 1:33:32the new Yeah, yeah, agreed, we actually did. Really we liked
- 1:33:36that one way more than the first one. Yep, sure I get that.
- 1:33:41But yeah, it's probably the closest we'll get to a James Cameron Trassic
- 1:33:45Park, Right, that's problem true. Yeah, especially at the rave he
- 1:33:48makes them now right, Yeah, he's got seventeen new cameras. This will
- 1:33:56come out in twenty five. Kate winglet to hold her breath for twenty minutes
- 1:34:00underwater? Yes right, all right, Well, hey do you guys want
- 1:34:11to play a game? Yeah? Well, This one deals with a lot
- 1:34:17of actor names, and so we'll see how we do. This. One's
- 1:34:20called the starting five, and how this works. I'm gonna name my five
- 1:34:25favorite actors from a particular film. Once you know the name of the film,
- 1:34:30you ring in with your name, so I know who's ringing in.
- 1:34:33Um. If there are actors remaining, you can guess who I picked for
- 1:34:39more points. If you get any of those wrong, someone else can ring
- 1:34:43in to answer for points as well. And all ten of these films have
- 1:34:47something in common. When you know the theme, you can ring in at
- 1:34:51any time to guess for a point, and there's no negative points for wrong
- 1:34:58answers. Sound good, sounds great. I am probably going to game in
- 1:35:04my car screaming at the radio so many times with you guys. Dave Dave
