Episode 52 - Jurassic Park (with Debbie)

<p>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</p> <ul><li>The multiple offers for the film rights to Michael Crichton's book, before the book had even been published</li> <li>We go over an alternate cast list that Ian & Liam would kill for</li> <li>We ask if the acting among the principals is any good.  We also ask whether it matters in this film?</li> <li>We gush over John Williams' score. This is an all-time Top 10 composition.</li> <li>There are a few plot inaccuracies/continuity errors that we pick apart</li> <li>Just how much money Steven Spielberg made from this film? </li> <li>What is with that shot with Goldblum's open shirt in this film?</li> <li>Is Ellie a feminist character based on her telling us that she is or does she revert to damsel-in-distress closely after?</li> <li>Why is Doctor Grant so unsure about certain elements of dinosaurs but will stake his life on his T-Rex knowledge</li> <li>Whether or not Jurassic Park is the Best Film Ever</li> </ul> <p>Massive thanks to Lex Van Der Berghe for the use of 'Mistake' by Luckydog.  Catch more from Lex's new band, The Maids of Honor at <a href='https://soundcloud.com/themaidsofhonor'>https://soundcloud.com/themaidsofhonor</a> Also massive thanks to Moonlight Social for our age game theme song.  You can catch more from them at <a href='https://www.moonlightsocialmusic.com/'>https://www.moonlightsocialmusic.com/</a></p> <p> </p>
