Episode 7. Jurassic Park (1993) and Jurassic World (2015): Blockbuster Spectacle and Reconstituting the Family

Blockbuster Spectable and Reconstituting the Family!

We take our first stab at a blockbuster hit — the incredibly influential Jurassic Park (1993).  We discuss the film’s visual effects and influence, its treatment of corporations and family, and the film’s legacy.  Plus, we spend a considerable amount of time discussing Jurassic World (2015) and its place within the franchise.

We’re also still working on our Subscriber Drive so we can add a second regular episode to the show.

Enjoy!
