  • Jurassic Park: A Dino-Sized Dose of Nostalgia
    2024/08/13

    Ryan and Deric dive headfirst into the prehistoric world of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. This epic conclusion to our Blockbuster Summer Rewind series is filled with nostalgic tales of childhood wonder, in-depth analysis of groundbreaking practical effects, and a healthy dose of nitpicking. From the awe-inspiring T-Rex to the clever Velociraptors, we dissect every roar, every jump, and every questionable plot point. We'll also reminisce about the magic of the Ben Bolt theater, share our thoughts on the hacking genius (or lack thereof) of Lex, and ponder the impossible logistics of running a dinosaur theme park. Join us for a final trip back to the summer of '93 as we wrap up our Blockbuster series and look forward to new adventures.
