Episode 52 - Jurassic Park (with Debbie) - a podcast by Movie Podcast

Life finds a way - This week we're going back to the Jurassic Era (or is that the Cretaceous period?) via way of 1990s Central America in Jurassic Park, a review 52 episodes in the making.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia - alongside friend of the podcast, Debbie as we became so preoccupied with whether we could review it that we never considered if we should have reviewed it.  It's a chaos theory inducing 52nd episode as we consider

• The multiple offers for the film rights to Michael Crichton's book, before the book had even been published


• We go over an alternate cast list that Ian & Liam would kill for


• We ask if the acting among the principals is any good.  We also ask whether it matters in this film?


• We gush over John Williams' score. This is an all-time Top 10 composition.


• There are a few plot inaccuracies/continuity errors that we pick apart


• Just how much money Steven Spielberg made from this film? 


• What is with that shot with Goldblum's open shirt in this film?


• Is Ellie a feminist character based on her telling us that she is or does she revert to damsel-in-distress closely after?


• Why is Doctor Grant so unsure about certain elements of dinosaurs but will stake his life on his T-Rex knowledge


• Whether or not Jurassic Park is the Best Film Ever
