Jurassic Park

Join us as we discuss the 1993 movie directed by Steven Spielberg and the 1990 book of the same name written by Michael Crighton. A classic for any 90s kid, the movie stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum with supporting cast including Samuel L Jackson, BD Wong, and Richard Attenborough. Screenplay by Michael Crighton, David Koepp, and an uncredited Scotch Marmo who did a lot of work between Crighton's first draft and Koepp's final which ultimately saw its way onto the screen.

 

A few show notes:

Special Effects were done by George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic.

The dinosaur that squirts toxins is a Dilophosaurus (we were in the ballpark but no way were we getting a home run on the name).

The actual numbers discrepancy between expected and found velociraptors was 8 expected and 37 found. Yes, Susie's eyes did fall out of her head.
