"I would counter with zoos?" cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, your temporary setup made the podcast sound like one of your earlier episode all of those years ago. Brought me back.
ReplyDeleteHey, first time poster, long time listener.
ReplyDeleteAs a big fan of dinosaurs and this franchise, I was really keen to see Jurassic World: Rebirth. I liked most of the characters, but the main idea behind the film didn’t work for me. I’ve no idea what David Koepp was thinking. A sweet wrapper as the centre of the plot? Just didn’t do it for me. I also wasn’t into the new “dinosaurs”, and if I’m honest, it felt like it was missing that big final set piece these films usually have.
That said, it’s already made a lot of money and will almost definitely get another sequel. Considering Gareth Edwards was brought in at the last minute to fast track the project because Fast 12 was delayed, it’s actually a decent effort.
What really caught my attention was your chat about the best Jurassic Park sequel. I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole recently and was surprised to see how much hate JP3 gets. A lot of fans seem to have issues with some key moments, and oddly, Rebirth repeats a few of those same beats. Apparently you still can’t introduce a new dinosaur that kills off a fan favourite, like the Spinosaurus in JP3, without stirring things up.
