Speaker 2 (00:25):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
My name is Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Knight and I'm Joel Monk.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Hey, Joel, Welcome back to x ra Vision, the podcast
where we dive deep into your favorite shows, movies, comics,
and pop culture.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We are here at iHeart Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Where we'll be bringing you episodes Tuesday and Thursday, plus
all summer long.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We're highlighting the summer's biggest.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Movies every Friday in popcorn popouts, plus news on Saturdays.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
In today's episode, recovering the newest entry into the Jurassic
Park franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, which was an incredible film.
Before we get into our full uh uh you know
pop out here breaking everything down. Uh, we got giant dinosaurs,
three of them, three giant diasaur, a diosaur hunt across
(01:11):
the equator. Boats are flipping nineteen boats flip over this.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
If you are like me and you love water dinosaurs
slash find them really scary. Oh, this is a great
movie for you, Like this is giving you everything you
ever wanted. Dinosaurs you didn't even know could swim. Guess
what they're swimming. Yeah, just like a completely fun, rioteous
summer blockbuster. I feel like this might be the sleeper
(01:38):
hit of the summer just simply because Hey, you may
have forgotten this.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Because of the sprawling.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Jurassic Park franchise that we mentioned, But like when Jurassic
World one came out, when they rebooted this, it made
so much money that Disney did like a celebratory like
handover of like, wow, you beat this Avengers movie. You
know in Jurassic World did it back when Avengers End
Game eventually beat him. But like, these movies have got
(02:06):
the juice, the people love them. It's a new era,
and I actually think this has got a lot of
rewatchability because there are so many weird dinosaurs. There's so
much fun stuff. So yes, we are gonna recap the
whole movie. But before we do, remember great news. We're
gonna be at San Diego Comic com Come find us,
(02:28):
say hi. Me and Joel will be there. Jason's gonna
be there. Ian's gonna be there. We're gonna be hanging
out with the Den of Geek crew. We're gonna be
on some panels it's gonna be great. So just keep
an eye out to our socials and the discord to
find out where we're going, and come say hi because
it's San Diego, baby, and we're gonna party. It's gonna
be fun for fun. And now, as always on Extra Vision,
(02:51):
the recap finds a way.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Jurassic World Resurrection begins on the Aisle Saint Hubert, which
rebird bitch, Yes, we listen. We're ad the International Genetic
Technology Vibe.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Uh, this is the International Genetics Technology Inc. That's engine. Uh.
They're concerned by they drop of visitors at Jurassic World.
They're like, hey, people are bored with dinosaurs somehow, and
they're so in an ability to try to revamp sales.
They're mutating dinosaurs always wrong. It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
We didn't learn our lesson from frogs the first time,
so we're taking bigger swings this go round. One of
the scientists is hungry, so he grabs the Snickers, as
you do. But unfortunately he's also a mess, so he
try hot mess.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He literally drops a rapid justice.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
He's about to go into a very sterilized zone. I
also love that Snickers was like, yeah, do some product placement,
but we don't care if it causes a terrible disaster,
which because a lot of corporations do.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Not like that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But Snickers was like, hey, if you leave that wrapper
on the floor, if you lit, things are.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Going to be bad for you. And we support that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
This is actually an anti littering campaign from Snacks. So, uh,
it gets sucked into the door, causing all of the
doors to now stay open. They don't close. It's a problem.
Machines start flashing malfunction and an alarm goes off, so
scientists begin to evacuate, but the emergency doors start to close,
(04:26):
and now our stinger meeting friend cannot get out. But
there's a fail safe. You can time your opening the
door with somebody on the other side by turning keys
and doing a countdown. Ladies trying man, this scientist she's
in here. She's doing to the key. They're counting numbers
on fingers. But uh, oh oh no, the distortis Rex.
(04:46):
Our alien inspired mutant dinosaur friend pops up behind the
guy and listen that ran corps is gonna take him down.
There's nothing he can do. She can open that door.
It's she stays and stares him in the eye and cries,
which is very Godzilla of her, and I.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Think also like Star Trek of her, like looking through
the door like a spot.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh oh man, what a touching moment. So five years
after the events of Jurassic World, Dominion, Martin Krebs is
played by Rupert Friend. He's in a three piece suit.
He's too cool for dinosaurs. He's a capitalist villain and
pretty much right away you're like, this guy's a dick
for him to die, Yeah, we know, and we're aware.
He works for Parker gen X, a pharmaceutical company, and
(05:31):
when his cargets stuff in traffic, there's a dinosaur in
the middle of New York just dying in the street,
and instead of being heart broken or concerned, he wishes
death on this beautiful beast and walks away annoyed. A
true villain emerges. He's on a mission to recruit Zora Bennett,
that's Scarlett Joe Hanson for an impossible mission to the Equator,
(05:52):
which has sort of been not quarantined off, but it's
a no go zone. They're like, you cannot come here
because this is where the dinosaurs are holding up. Climate
change is killing them off, Dinosaurs dying everywhere, showing up,
not supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This little equate space that is, Yes, so.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Zora works in security, but she's earned some debts over
the years. She is she's not doing this job for
less than eight zeros. She said, come through with the
money and without flunching, Crebs agrees. This corporation's pockets are
deep and they are determined to craft a cure for
heart disease. So Zora's convinced. She agrees to join together.
Zora and Kreb go to the museum to find doctor
Henry Loomish's Jonathan Bailey in his slutty little glasses.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm fanning myself, it was. He is very very very
very very gorgeous in this what ude.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And he's a paleontologist too, So I mean, honestly a
full package here, and not just any paletogis. But you're
the student of the late great Alan Grant. Beautiful, so beautiful.
Henry's museum is failing. There used to be a line
around the block and a three hourway ticket, and they've
had twelve guests this week. So they're packing up the
fossils and preparing to close the exhibit because in this world,
(07:01):
people are really over dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I love this idea.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I'm like, bro, there's always going to be five year
olds who want to go. Even if they've seen every dinosaur,
they're gonna want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Five year olds love a dinosaur. I was one of
those kids.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It's not believable, but I love this statement that it
is making, which is even in the world of Jurassic World,
which when they rebooted it with Chris Pratt and Bryce
Alice Howard, the idea was people were already getting tired
of dinosaurs, and that's why they had to make the
indominous Rex, why they had to make scary stuff. And
so I love that this is kind of an extension
(07:34):
of that, which is like, guess what dinosaurs got free?
They started to die, and now they're just like a hindrance,
Like there's the Brontosaurus in the middle of New York
getting in the way of your traffic. It's a very
clever and depressing read.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
But also I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Like, I don't believe it, because I believe there will
always be a love for dinosaurs, but it's an interesting
status quo.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It definitely gives a nice meta quality to people being
like another Jurassic part series, Mike God and so that's
sort of the where I do. I was like, Okay,
this is a cute, interesting way, and I think you
have to make it unique and different. This world from
like a reason for us to come back, and this
is an intriguing reason definitely. So they're packing up the
fossils and preparing to close the exhibit. Loomis has been
(08:16):
assisting Martin Krebbs and the company in doing the research,
but he has never been in the fields. Not a
field guy. He's all, you know, history studying the fossils,
he explains to looking for three giant dinosaurs who lived
over one hundred years when they were alive, and these
are gigantic folks. The hope is that by drawing blood
from these living creatures, they can use genetic material to
(08:36):
cure heart disease, the leading cause of death globally. Crebs
is practically drooling on the floor over the cash at
this point. While Loomis was happy to help academically from
a distance for this project, he is shocked to learn
that they want him to go on the exhibit as
a field expert. He's not the type to break the
law which is absolutely what they're going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
But ayont A Dinosaul, the heart.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The heartbreaking and terrorist. He's sitting on the floor being
like should I go? Do I not go? And they're
just patiently waiting for him to make up his mind,
and about two minutes later they're like, so we're good
to go, and he's like, yeah, let's do this. So
now our gang is traveling to pick up Duncan Kincaid,
that's my Herschela ali if Zora is the security brain. Kincaid,
a longtime friend and business partner of Zora's, is like
(09:22):
a security captain. He's got the boat to get them
to the equator and additional guns to keep them safe.
And although you know they're not, they're already down here.
Krebs has no alternative plan. So Zora and Duncan run
a very Ocean's eleven style game on him where they're like, well, gosh,
we'd love to go, h but the money, I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Know, you're dangerous.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
How how can we possibly do? And so Crebs is like,
you know, I'll give you Duncan the same amount of
money I gave Zora will double the expenses of the strip.
Literally money not an object. Let's go Okay, So enter
Bobby at Water. That's ed screen a shoot, first asked
questions later, member of Duncan's team. He tries to pull
scheme agains Or and dunk Can assure him, Hey, we
(10:02):
already got the bag. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I am about it.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I love that it's such a funny moment because
it really this is a very stripped back version of
Jurassic Park kind of law, and a very different version
because you have these kind of mercenary characters going in.
But I love how well they establish this team, Like
you feel the banter is there. They've run this scheme before,
they've done these kind of extraction missions, usually for humans
(10:26):
or things rather than you know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Dinosaur blood. But I actually felt like this was so well.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Established that I immediately believed that they were a group,
which I think is one of the key things that
you have to believe to enjoy this movie.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yes, the chemistry and energy if you're casting for both
groups is really interesting. So you're going to be our
second group. So already on the Atlantic is Reuben Delgado.
This is Manuel Garcia Rulfo and his two daughters, Teresa
Delgado played by Luna Blaze and Isabella Audrina Miranda. Oh
she so good, so precious, and so talented. Ruben wants
his daughters to sail across the Atlantic, so he's teaching
(10:59):
Isabella while complaining about Teresa's boyfriend, Xavier played by David Yacono.
It's Exavier is trying to steer the ship, but when
he finally emerges from the bowels of the ship, he's
too tired from sexing his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And I also love that this is a new and
this is correct. If I'm from fans, I'm sure you will.
I'll beloved discord uses and extra vision listeners. But I
think that Xavier introduces a very important archetype we've never
had in a Jurassic Park movie. Stoner, you get him
in like every horror movie. But Xavier is like, he's
(11:33):
kind of lazy. He's just in the fucking boat, fucking
this guy's daughter. Like the dad is so chill about
as well, like he understands.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Trying to bepressive. Good dad. He's like he's like, I'm
not going to yell at her, because that's what pushes
girls closer to their douchey boyfriends. He's like, I'm really
gonna I think you're a smart, intelligent person, So I'm
trying to understand the decision to be with this guy
who I think is completely worthless. He's out here stealing
your sister's liquorice like a crazy place.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I even though it's meant to be being you know,
ration so that they can have some as they go
across this mission. But I have to say, Xavier unexpected
faith character arc for me. Like I say, he comes around, yeah,
and they didn't just do like, oh he's useless and
(12:21):
he's gonna betray them or whatever. There's like a much
more interesting kind of angle, which I really enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And how many patients really worth it? Like he's a
great dad. He's such a good dad. He's really trying
to teach them. Unfortunately, you know, Teresa and Ruben are
exhausted because they've just been trading off every twelve hours
stearing this ship while Xavier gets his beauty sleep. But
then oh is a velases a fin pop up on
(12:49):
the side, and it's it's not a small one. Oh no,
it's a spiny saurus.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, no, no, I think at this point it's the massasaurus.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So I was looking up mass of sauruss don't have fins,
and that's why I was confused. So there is a
mostaurus and there is a spinosaurus.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
But the massaurus has the shock fin that does.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I think. I'm pretty sure that at this point this
white research got really confused. At this point, I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Right, because you know what they do.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They go off to its that like, oh, the spinosauruses
are helping them, and then the helpers.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
This was the logic I was trying to figure out. Okay,
so the mastasaurus is the most feared creature in the ocean. Okay,
It's fast and strong, and the ceature begins to ram
their vote is essentially flipping the vessel. Okay, the entire
family falls off. Eventually able to get the girls on
the underside of the sinking ship, but Xavier is trapped inside.
So we goes down and try to rescue him. Uh.
(13:42):
And he tells the Xavier like, before you get out,
grab the radio so we can made it. But it's chaos.
The creature is still ramming in the ship is sinking. Uh.
And Reruven runs out of press so he has to
pop back up. Now we don't know if Xavier is
gonna get out. It's very tense and scary, but he does.
He gets out, he gets the radio, they're able to
call a may day.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Also, something I loved about this scene is that you
don't fully see the massasaurus at this point, like it's
very much just like this giant kind of creature flipping
the vote. It's clear that Isabella is like really scared
of dinosaurs and is aware about they keep being like
they're not gonna show up, Like there's the whole ocean,
why would they be here?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And I watched this in forty.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
X, thanks actually to our friends at the hashtag show
that they got me and my nephew in and we.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Were we were watching the movie in forty.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
X and this sequence where they're like shaking you up
in the water, spraying in your face so good, Like
absolutely would recommend forty X. Very Jurassic World. The ride
coded like what you get a universal. They gave us
like fun punchos like Dennis Nedri wears it was. It
was such a good action sequence and I was like, okay, okay,
(14:51):
this this movie looks like it's got the dinosaur juice,
like you know, we're practice, we're practical effects guys here,
and there's only one fully practical dinosaur in and it's
a very small dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But I have to say, I think Gareth.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Edwards, the director, and the CGI team and the BVFX
team did like an unreal job, because you really think
this massasaurus is real.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, it's scared, genuinely terrifying, and you love the family.
Like the script does a great job of, like the
actors obviously really selling this family as a unit and
being so sweet and it really grounded, like this is
an eighteen year old girl who clearly knows herself pretty well,
and it's confident on the ship. She's able to like
tea your sister, her sisters, like such a fun kid.
She's you know, she's scrappy, she's like suspect of this boyfriend.
(15:36):
She's enjoying sailing. But you know, she's very little, so
there's only so much she can do and so you're
genuinely terrified. So okay, So now we're back on Duncan ship.
The mission is progressing as planned. Henry Limis devonstrates how
they'll be pulling blood from these creatures using a dark
gun that will project itself into the air after it
fills with blood and parachute gracefully to the ground. He
asked if he can take the shot. They're hunting the
(15:56):
Muscastoris right now, and Zora was like, yeah, sure, you
could hang off the side of this boat going several
knots ow.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You can do it. I believe in you.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And he's like, maybe not. Emma lens and let Zora
take the shot. So Zora and Duncan catch up, Zora
reveals she's lost a team member to a car bomb
on her last mission. You get to change the subject.
She has Duncan if he and his wife were able
to work things out, but the passing of his young
son was too much for the couple to bear, and
they dissolve the marriage. So they're both they're sad colleagues
who aren't quite sure what the future holds for them.
(16:29):
The meeting signal reaches duncan ship, and while Crebs and
Bobby want to continue the mission, Duncan and Zora insists
on rescuing the family.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Love that. I think that's great. I think that's a
great twist.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I worry always about kind of black ops mercenary stories,
but actually I think here they do a really incredible
job of showing how being someone like that can destroy
your family, can destroy your loved ones. And at this point,
both Duncan and Zora are trying to make amends for
the things that they have done. And I think that
(17:00):
the way that that collides that the original Jurassic Park
scream writer David Kapp, who came back for this, kind
of ties those in makes this a very emotionally satisfying story,
even though it's a very kind of stripped back one.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I think that the scripting is so.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Good that you absolutely believe that Duncan is he will
fucking shoot Crebs in the head before he doesn't help
this family.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And this starts to really set up.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Some good drama between the boss of the mission, who's
the moneyman who's definitely in that lawyer kind of space
from the original Jurassic Pass, and the kind of good
guys inverted Commas who are willing to take, you know,
an hour from the mission to go and save this family.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now, what this family really want to be saved?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
The depending on where this is going question mark, Okay,
I would like to not be saved.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So when the crew arrives The family is grateful to
be rescued, but are quically concerned by the fact that
they're being with. They aren't being with to safety, but
instead of now being forced to hunt down the creature,
they just escape. Okay, we're gonna carry a quick break
and we come back. We're gonna find out how this
hunt goes, and you win. It's not good. It's not good.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Bad back We're back.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And I gotta tell you, guys, I gotta tell you
my deepest, truest thing about myself that I know is
that if they open Jurassic Park, I would go, so honestly, like,
I never judge anyone in these movies because I'm like,
you know what, this is a bad idea, you're going
to the island. But you know, if someone told me
I could see a dinosaur, I would also go.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So I'm like, can't judge you, guys.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I really can't. I really can't. Okay, So we're on
the ship. The children are terrified. Dad is tense, but
the crew feels like they've got this under control. This
is what they came here to do, and at first
thought it's fine. Zora takes her post at the front
of the ship, where loomis sort of suggestively straps her in,
which is yes, because she's absolutely gonna be not prone
during this fight.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
There is definitely some like I That's another thing that
I'm enjoying, is like, I'm really enjoying the fact that
they play with chemistry in this movie, very much like
the first Jurassic Park movie, and they're not necessarily committing
to it, but they're like, hey, this is a high pressure,
intensity situation, and there are hot people here, and maybe
(19:33):
in these kind of moments like Henry, for example, we
kind of learned that he is secretly an adrenaline junkie.
He just never knew, you know, So you get to
have that kind of well, of course, like hot people
are gonna suggestively like kind of because they're right at
the edge of this like massive adventure, and there's an
excitement and a chemistry there that I think really comes through.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It does, and it's subtle enough that if you're like
I don't like a force romance, it'll slide buy and
it's not in your face. But if you're into hot
people flirting with each other, enjoy. So she's there, she
takes a shot, it's good, she makes it. It's a
little bit of trial and error, but she gets it. Uh.
(20:16):
Lewis catches the parachuting vial, So victory, we did it. Uh,
but our guy doesn't hunt alone. Here come the spinosaurces.
How smaller?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This so really scary interesting to imagine how dinosaurs would
interact with each other and start to help each other,
just like in the natural world of animals, as we know.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Very good stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, and because they're smaller, they're able to attack in
a completely different way than the massasaurus. So they're able
to sort of like get closer to the ship and
they're biting and lunging it. People. During this fight, we
lose a couple of folks. Duncan steering the ship and
in order to escape, he's like, you know what I'm
gonna do, I'll just steer into the rocks smaller we
(21:00):
can navigate. Of course, the spina sources are all up
in that be the rocks are starting to shred the ship.
Ruben tells Teresa, Hey, you gotta go make a may
day call because this ship he's down.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And also he's like, we just need to get off
this fucking ship. These people are crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Like, just go make the call, and she does, and
then we, yeah, are truly if you were not sure
that a billy and a big farmer guy was the villain,
you're gonna know he's the villain now.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
So Teresa gets to the phone, Keeber tells her, Hey,
don't don't make the call. It's fine because again they're
in an illegal space. He doesn't want the mission to
be disrupted. She starts arguing with him, but oh ship
gets rammed and off she goes. So she is now
overboard and keep her has the opportunity to extend an arm,
throw her a life vest.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Tell you she's her fall off, like it's so crazy, well.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
A literal teenager. He's like, well, I guess that's what
the universe wanted and walks away. So when she falls off,
Xavier our guy is like, not my girl, and sweet guy.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Jumps in like no problems be damned.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He's like, fuck that.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
So he's winning Ruben over in this moment, winning Isabella
over because he doesn't even think about it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And then Rubin and.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Is like, hey, Isabella, let's just jump in the water
because honestly, like these dinosaur hundred people are nuts and
we just got to try and find this alleged village
elsewhere on the island, and they had hypothesized a little
earlier that the reason the dinosaurs were attacking the ship
is because they felt it was a predator.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
So, okay, attack the ship. We will swim way to safety.
Zora and Loomis mean while are putting floaties on all
the equipment because they're like, this ship is going down,
but we have a mission to finish, so everyone takes
through the water to timpt out run the creatures.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
There's some interesting scary moments here where there is another
character who we barely get to meet, who's a woman,
a female character who's on the boat, and we kind
of see as Zra and Loomis are like stuck on
the boat. There's a great moment if you see it
in forty X.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm not even sponsored, it was just really that good.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
But as the boat is kind of crashing there underneath
the rocks and it's like crunching on them and they're
having to dive down, and eventually all the floaties get there,
and this poor lady rip to this one woman on
the ship she is find the bag of floaties and
she's kind of, oh, thank god, she's trying to push
(23:30):
it to the shore.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
She's at the shore.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
And if you have an eagle eye, you may see
something move to the side of her. And if you don't,
then you're gonna get an incredible jump scare because a
spinosaurus grabs her from behind and just the eats her
and it's really really scary. The eleven year old I
saw it with this was definitely his biggest jump scare.
She was really really freaked out by it. Rip to
(23:56):
that person. Duncan arrives on shore and you kind of
he starts to realize, like fuck, like we just lost
two of our friends. Is this job worth it? Can
we really do it? And also like now the boat's crashed,
Like what did this fucking creb sky plan nothing? But
Zora is very good at her job, So she did
plan something, didn't she Joe out?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So Zora is very good to her job, and she's like, listen,
a helicopter's gonna swing by for you guys in like
forty eight hours at sunset if we don't radio in,
which we can't do now, so they're only gonna do
one fly by. Though this does seem not smart. You're
in the air, you can't get caught, but whatever. So
they're like, we're gonna do one fly by the island,
so all of you guys need to be on high
(24:38):
ground where we can see you when we fly by,
or you're the abandoned forever on this island nobody ever
comes to. Okay, great. I think the jump scare you
mentioned really opens a door to like the cinematography of
this film between so well into horror, and what's great
about horror is things in the background, small movements, Yeah,
(24:59):
really up the intensity. And to do that with giant
dinosaurs frequently you have done popping out of all kinds
of button from behind them, boat out of tall grass,
from the water the.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Best. Yeah, you're right, that's such a good call. There's
a great moment where.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You kind of like the classic fridge scare in a
slasher movie where you think someone's going to be behind
the door and they're not. They do such a fun
version of that with the t Rex here. I think
Gareth Edwards, it's such a great part and we're gonna
get there and and Gareth Edwards he directed Rogue one.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Obviously we love Rogue One. We know that Tony.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Gilroy was very heavily involved in that as well. But
also Gareth Edwards broke onto the scene with a movie
called Monsters that was an indie sci fi horror movie
about an unexpected kind of couple who had to travel
across this part of North America that had been taken
over by by like giant kind of kaijusque monsters. And
(25:59):
and I think like from then he really established his
style as a director. And also most recently he did
The Creator, which was not necessarily like the indie hit
I think that Disney wanted it to because it was
an independent original movie, but it was very lauded when
it came to the visuals, the way it looked, the cinematography,
the special effects, and I think Gareth Edwards once again
(26:21):
shows like he is a thoughtful, interesting filmmaker. There are
so many jump scares here, but you also get those moments.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Of just huge scope.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
He has such an interesting eye for how you shoot
a giant dinosaur, because that's the thing is, these dinosaurs
are the Titans, they're the colossals, they are the biggest dinosaurs.
And in a very hilarious and Avatar the Lost Airbender
coded thing, they have to get blood from the biggest
(26:51):
dinosaur in the water, they've done it, Massasaurus, biggest dinosaur
on land Titanosaurus, and biggest dinosaur in the air, which
I believe is.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Called a quite a coatless or something along those lines.
But it is very scary and big.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
And so the one thing that CIBA didn't tell them, though,
is that this island is not just some leftover like
isla sauna or something. This is where all the weird
experimental mutated dinosaurs are staying, which, sir, you should have
told them that first.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
That is a day one asterisk in the contract that
it absolutelys to be highlighted and underlined mutant dinosaurs live here.
But it turns out like the company could have destroyed
it destroyed the dinosaurs, but they were like, yeah, those
were really expensive and now we can just hide them
as line items, and so we don't have that glit.
(27:45):
It's a multimillion dollar loss or you know, danger but
thousands of miles away. So of course capitalism. Okay, so
now we're in the jungle. The jungle is an unkind atmosphere.
Duncan describes it as nothing you can see more than
three feet in front of your faith and constantly eyes
tracking you, and he makes a declaration that seems like
it will seal his fate. He swears he's not going
(28:06):
to die in the jungle, at which point I'm like,
so long, Marcella Ali. Keeper discovers a downed plane with
a skeleton pilot hanging from a cockpit with a gun
in his hands. So Keeper collects Chekhov's gun and.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Quiet very Also, I love this moment because it is
legit terrifying. There's like blood like things like liquid dripping
on him. That the skeletal remains are way more skeletal
and scary than we usually get because.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
We've seen a skeleton before in Jurassic Talk. But this
is a horror moment.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
But you know what you see that Kiba's just a
stone called sociopath because he just sees that gun and
he's like, I'll take it, and that's the insurance for me.
For Yeah, It's like, okay, I don't think it's gonna
go well for you, babe, but you know what, take
the gun.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Take Chekhov's gun. He'll borrow it to you.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So the Dagana family plus Xavier find a cave to
hold up in. Keeper mentioned that on the ship that
there was a community living on the island. They be
able to take a phone call there, so he's like,
don't even sweat it will be okay. And he told
him about the helicopter. I think, are there's a plane.
We got some options, like, don't worry about it, okay.
So Ruben thanks Xavier for saving his daughter and exit
(29:14):
a kind of strange and hilarious moment, just brushes it off.
He's like, man, whatever, He's like, I don't even know
why she wants to be with me.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, He's like, I'm useless guy, but I love her,
so I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
And he's not useless.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
He did a say he saved it once. He's on
a scary Jurassic dinosaur island.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
He comes through.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
He listened and in peace times useless. At wartime, he's
absolutely ready to go, and he offers to take the
first watch so that Reuben can catch up on some sleep.
So the next morning, family gets her track. Isabelle discovers
a small orphan dinosaur, Dolores, and they quickly become friends,
and she statues the creature in her backpack.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
She is so cute, I believe this is a new dinosaur.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You haven't seen before called an aqua ops and this
is our full prosthetic animatronic dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
They made a real Dolores. They got to connect with her,
and I believe I have not been there yet. I
believe you can now meet meet Dolores at Universal Studio stream.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So I love that because Dolores is very cute, and
we love a cute.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Sidekick like giving in the movies and the TV shows.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
With Camp Crustaceous, you've had Lumpy, So it's like, it's
nice to bring.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That to the main stream and the big seas.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It's definitely giving. If you were a Barney kid a
bj vibe, or if you like the dinosaurs the Baby
of Very Baby, Yes, it's so cute. So Zora and
crew reach an open field of overgrown grass so tall
it can hide the largest dino. We're gonna get the
titanosaurs when they're lying down. So the gentle plant eating
(30:51):
dinosaurs are mostly not a threat safer their very long
switchy tails, which could potentially do damage. Loumis is blow.
I mean having a full on like emotion religious experience.
Look at these creatures.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
This is the one moment that I think captures the thing.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That otherwise this movie doesn't understand the importance of which
is like the wonder and awe of a dinosaur. But
Jonathan Bailey, and if you follow me on let a Box,
you know, I'm already compt talking about this Oscar campaign
that I will Solow be running for him. Yes, but
he had in the forty X screening, right, So we're
being jostled, our popcorns flying everywhere, there's kids, everyone's screaming.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
In this moment.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Where they kind of slowly move you towards the dinosaur
and he touches it and he starts to just tear
up and cry. It was so beautiful that I was crying,
The guy next to me was crying, The friend I
was with was crying. You know. It was like it
just really captured that feeling of what Jurassic Park is about,
which is the beauty of nature and how scary it
(31:49):
can be, but also like the awe we feel when
we get to see creatures in the wild and the
importance of nature.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And he does he does manage to get the sample.
Good for him. I feel like it's going pretty well
for them at this point, Like this.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is actually quite a chill Jurassic experience so far. And
then doctor Loomis is like, so what if if we
didn't give it to the evil scientist, how about sexy
skull Ansen. We just like you know, crowd open sourced
(32:23):
it so anyone could have it. And she's like, oh,
I don't think I would get any money in that case,
but you can tell there's like a twinkle in.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Her eye, like doctor Loomish, and she's a little bit
moved by his emotional reaction to the dinosaurs, definitely, And
then he tells the story of like you know, when
they discovered insulin, you know that they were like, hey,
everybody should have access to this, everyone should have access
to this pharmacutical company's assholes. Yeah, she's like she's thinking
(32:52):
about it. She's she's contemplating, you know, she needs the money,
but she just like, maybe that would be the better
thing to do. Okay, So the family a raft. They
are out and they're like, oh, great, we can take
the water. We'll follow there's they noticed some pipes. They're like, oh, look,
water pipes. I bet we could follow this to the
facility with the phone that'll be here.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
He's a very clever dad. I gotta say this is
smart uh.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But as our approach of the raft, oh no, here
comes everyone's favorite dinosaur, a t reft and it is
huge and it is close. Okay, this is the same
you were talking about.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, I gotta talk about this scene because we have
Teresa and she's trying to get the boat and then
she realizes the boat is actually unfinished, but she finds
a life raft and we get this great moment where
one the t rex is like sleeping like a cute
cat who doesn't want to see that. I love that
makes a lot of sense, very Godzilla codd if you
saw the last Godzilla movie where Godzilla sleeping in the
coliseum like he's a cute cat. We also know that
(33:46):
the Minus one director was inspired by his cat for Godzilla,
so I love that all these directors are bringing that
to this and Gareth Edwards definitely is here. He we
see the dinosaur sleeping, she's trying to pull the raft
so that it will wake him up, and then she
pops the raft open and it blows up and you
expect the t rex to be behind her when it
(34:08):
goes down, but it's gone and it's such a scary
fake out moment. And then it leads to this is
the sequence that I think if you are a Jurassic
Park fan you love the books, this is one of
the sequences that was never properly adapted from the books,
and it.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Is they couldn't get that original t Rex well okay,
exactly he was.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
He was a real living animatronic.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
And also they did kind of half adapt it in
Jurassic Park three with the Spinosaurus. But here David Kep
gets to bring the scene he always wanted to to life,
which is the t Rex swimming behind this little life raft.
And I'm telling you, guys, Joel knows we've been to
We've been to theme parks together. I am like so
terrified of dinosaur animatronics, but you will, if you are
(34:55):
my special friend and I love you, I will go
on the Jurassic World ride with you. And I like
cry the whole time because it's amazing, but I will
also cry because it's scary. And this entire movie, I
was like, man, these motherfuckers are gonna make the scariest
ride with this movie, Like they're gonna be able to
expand what the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park rides already are.
(35:16):
It really feels like Universal is in a space now
where they're creating rides like with Dark Universe that can
kind of create new IP and they're also open to
leaning into the IP that is so beloved, And this
scene feels like Peak make a move like Orlando, Universal,
You're getting an updated Jurassic Park ride after this one,
(35:37):
because it is so so scary.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Genuinely looking for like t Rex's giant head, the fact
that at one point it's completely again submerged by water,
where you're just like, wait, oh no, now we can't
see it. Where is it? And then you know it's
giving if you if you're a pig than of the
original Jurassic Park when the t Rex attacks the car,
you're seeing some similarities, right, So Yeah, the kid is
stuck in the raft at one point by herself again
another boat over.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
She gets flipped. The boats are getting flipped.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
This I thought was such a clever, scary visual that
does a homage to that you know, original Colas sequence,
but also adds something really new.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yeah, no, it's totally fresh, because like the thing is
that everyone's still such close proximity. The rushing water adds
such a terrifying element to it. And similar to that
scene though, where you have a seemably impossible cliff suddenly emerge. Yeah,
suddenly a wall that the t Rex cannot get passed,
and you're like, oh, fully this makes sense. Now pause.
If you've seen the original, it does make sense. It's
(36:36):
an enclosure. There's a slight slope. They don't quite show
it into the establishing shot, and so you miss it.
But it does make sense. You can see uh, visuals
of the set, so where you're like, oh, that's why
there's a clip suddenly there here, it's a little less clear.
In game, we don't really get an establishing shot of
the wall to the d Rex, not just walk around.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But I know, I like the idea that the t
Rex is kind of like bored.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
He's just like okay, well I'm not gonna put that
much yet, but and like I can just see a
dinosaur like don't.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Weary Cat comparison. It is like, yes, Isabella gets out
from underneath the boat, is able to not really out swim,
but sort of the current is pushing and she gets
close enough and okay, she's through the wall and she's safe. Uh.
T Rex follows her all the way up to the wall,
and then it's like sticking. It's like snout through the wall,
trying to like and at very much gave me cat
under a door, would is Paul.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Oh yeah, there's that great moment too.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
N isfl is still underneath and the t Rex's teeth
kind of through.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
The yellow but they don't fully hit it. It's really good.
But guess what, the family's safe again. Love this for
the family. It's going really well for them.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Continuing that, I would say, like, you know, there's always
generally kids in a Jurassic Park movie, and they don't
tend to die, so I'm very I'm feeling very happy.
As the eleven year old told me there's too much plot, Arma,
and I said, no, babe, they're just kids. I was
like they I was like, they're just kids. You can't
kill a kid in a in like a kid's movie.
It's not pla Arma, it's just a rule.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Like this is just park and we are not trying
to scar the children. Okay, so we're gonna take a
quick break and when we come back, we're gonna talk
about what happens when you try to draw blood from
a dinosaur's egg. They're not happy about it. Okay, we're back.
(38:24):
So our team makes it to the mountains where they're
set to propel into the nest of a quasal as
so many see.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Es.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You know what, let's go with it, that's what we're
calling it. Okay, we're listening together, guys. This creature is
as large as a bomber and it can fly. And
so they're like, we are not going to try to
shoot this thing as it's soaring through the air. Let's
go get like the amtiotic fluid from one of its
eggs instead. Okay, great, So they're repelling down h and
this is kind of difficult for doctor Lumis, again not
(39:00):
really an adventurer, though he gave us a lot climb
out his gym exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
He was like, I got like a twenty foot wool
at my gym, and I'm like, babe, this is a
five hundred foot.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Draw into a dinosaur's nest. But you know what, I
love it. You're brave, You're getting a little spicy with it,
and I believe in you, Henry Limis. You are an
adventurer to me.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yes. And it's a messy trek down, but he gets there.
They're able to pull the fluid, but oh, here comes mom.
She's retired and she is upset. Now luckily she's made
her nest and like these human like.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
It's very interesting because it's kind of these human ruins,
but the implication of the way they are built is
that the humans worship these dinosaurs, like it seems like
the nest was made for them almost.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
One of the definite things where I'm like, I would
love to know more about that.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
And we definitely made a ror dive because I couldn't
tell if it was like, oh, the park had designed
these spaces and they were planning to maybe use it
one day and it was gonna be fun, or if like, oh,
maybe there's like a dinosaurs have been here for a
long time, maybe like the bones were in inspiration for
like a faith or something. We don't really know, but
think of the very like Indiana Jones kind of temple.
(40:06):
So it's like yes, yes, And they're trying to escape
the bird and it's dodging and weaving in between all
of these like physical structures and they're able to sort
of dodge it. Up top, Duncan is trying to distract
the bird with one of his other crew members, and
they do. They do. Unfortunately, that crew member successfully distracts
(40:28):
the bird and then gains ends up eat. Oh and
Loomis and Zora are trying to get the vial, but
it's bouncing all over the nest and oh my god,
it almost fell over the side. Loomis repels further down
to get the vial, but the rope holding him up
is dragging over the cliff side and so the ropes
get a snap. Soora tries to pull him up, but
he's determined, so the rope snaps. He does fall the
(40:48):
quas Paps has eaten the crew member. The vile parachute
safely to the ground, so all of these theatrics were
not worth it. Luckily, Loomis's falls cushioned by like jungle
foliage and he doesn't die or break a bone.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Lucky impressive, impressive man, truly.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
So the family makes it to the island outpost a
bit before the Parker gen X team does. Teresa explodes
as Keeper approaches for leaving her to die. Keeper try,
tired of having to pretend to be a decent human,
whips out Chekhov's gun handcuffs of the blood samples to
his wristworks are in a very thick kind of like
metal case they've been carrying around absolutely, and he demands
(41:25):
everyone get ready for the helicopter. But the International Genetics
Technology inks mutations are heaviest year because oh no, this
is the lab where we started the most Snicker's lab.
It's not good. So the girls, Isabella and Teresa seek
shelter in the convenience store. They are cornered by a
raptor crossed with a dilophosaurus that's the asset spinning dinosaur
(41:46):
created for the original.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Kind of also some kind of like a bud bird
like Italer possibly maybe the coach list, because it has
these scary kind of I have to say, this was
a dinosaur that in the trailers I thought kind of
looked silly, but in the actual oh it's so good
saying and context of the movie is really scary. They're
essentially in like a seven eleven, and the wrapped a
(42:09):
dell off a saurus dinosaur is kind of trying to hide,
like trying to stalk them, so we get some good
callbacks to the original kids in the first movie. But
this is fun because you get to see Isabella like
hiding in a fridge and she's like covering herself up
so that it can only see its own reflection, and it's.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Really giving, almost like the Last of Us grocery store scene.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yes, yes, yes, if the topic isn't two good, very scary, yeah,
it's it's really tense.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
It'ess Actually, if he confits my brother to go see
the movie. They released a trailer of just this scene
a while ago, and he was like, a convenience store
and dinosaurs. Okay, let's do it. Here's the midside about
the action set, and it's a great set piece.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
So they're able to find it, find a great on
the store floor that leads to like underground tunnels, and
so they decide to hide in there. Unfortunately, one of
these dinosaurs follows them down and is stocking them. So
the coward Keeber hops in the car. He's like, I'm
actually done with this. I'm gonna go try to find
the helicopter. Zora had been trying to take shots on
the car into the store to distract the dinosaurs, and
(43:12):
she went to falling off. She's almost run over. Unfortunately,
Keeper's got this giant metal case cuf to his wrist
and it's actually more of an obstacle than a help.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Yes, and this is really great because it's really funny
when Zora is like under the car and Keba drives
it off her and it's giving again Dennis Nedri. Now,
I will say I'm calling out these because I love
a homage and I love the original Jurassic Park movies.
But I have seen some critiques in this movie that
it's just redoing the first movie.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I don't agree.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
I think this is a very different situation tone, even
the setup and the way that they go into it.
I think it's quite original.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
But there are fun nods here.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Keba drives off like he's fucking Dennis Nedri running away,
but instead of the Delophosaurus, this man ends up getting
gobbled up by the terrifying directs, which we finally.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
See here and again is very divisive.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
So the family's in the bowels and they're being stalked.
Scar Jo has survived, so doctor Zora goes down to
try to help them. The family finds this like large
gated thing is like it's like a gate. It's big
metal bars. They're into concrete. So the opening to that
is on the other side of the gate, and the
only person tiny enough to get through is Isabella. So
(44:33):
she's like, eh, and.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
She's a real one. She just does it.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
She is so confident. But oh no, now we're stuck
behind the door and here comes d Rex again. She
opens her family escapes. That means who else escapes d Rex? Okay? Now,
doctor is that here? He sees the helicopter. It's here,
it's shining and it's bright, and it's coming toward him,
and he could not be happier. Thank god they saw
the helicopter. The helicopter sees them, but no, de Rex
(44:56):
is out and has actually captured the helicopter and the
O cool perspective shot and again this movie is filled
with him. The light is shining right into the lens,
so you think the helicopter is just approaching. But then
as the light turns away from the lens, you can
see the helicopter in the jaws of the d Rex
and it's careening toward our sweet baby doctor, mister Loomis.
(45:18):
It's it's terrifying and really good action.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Great moment, and yet obviously Kiba, he's not gonna survive
now the d Rex is out. The d Rex eats
him in a very gruesome moment we get to see
him get yammed up, eats his head, he chops me,
eats him in the air, and of course attaching the
suitcase to his arm meant this was always gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
The arm is left.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yet Samuel Jackson style and Jor just grabs that up
and is like boom.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
But there's another hero in this.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
Moment, and I love this, which is this moment. Yeah,
he's thinking of his son. Yeahs Sissy won't die in
the jungle, but he doesn't want the kids to be scared,
like be scared and not be able to get away.
So he runs with a flat very alien coded and
he's kind of luring the monster away into the jungle.
(46:11):
Now I was ready to be very disappointed at this
moment because they pissed.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
They do make you think that Mahershela Ali is.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Dead, is losing her mind. On the side, we can't.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Leave and they finally get to the boat, which I
have to say, guys, the want my one critique of
this movie. You ain't getting me in a fucking boat
after all the boat stuff.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Damn boats, I'll just die drowning.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Not I am not going in a fucking boat with
these dinosaurs. You were far away and you're still getting
in by a dinosaur. Absolutely not yes, but they do
go on a boat. They leave the d Rex behind,
and what happens, shaw.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
A flair lights up into the air. Our sweet baby
Duncan did not die in the jungle of him, thank god.
So they wing back to get him. Luckily, he's floated
pretty far away from the recent Even though we've already
established that flares tend to draw dinosaurs attention, I get
in this case, he's stupid. I guess let's fight with
(47:13):
not worth it for this small little snack. So okay, uh.
We sail off into sunset. But before we do, Zora
looks to Loomis and she goes, hey, let's give this
medication to everybody. Let's make everybody gets it.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Getting that money from that dead guy anyway, so it's
a good time.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
I don't know if the contract was written down a
lot of little.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Side I know it seems like it was very illegal.
And you get your your final kind of homage.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
You get hair is as that driving away in the boat,
you see dolphins come up beside them. By the way,
I'll be freaking out to see those dolphins. I don't
want to see it's beIN coming up. But it's a
nice little.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Nod to the buds.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
That we see at the end of the original Jurassic
Park when they're heading out, and the kind of reminder
of how buds were the know they are the descendants
of dinosaurs, and I think the implication hair is kind
of thinking about those what are dinosaurs and seeing doll face.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
It's also the final shot of the Jurassic Park is
when they're looking out the window and you see the
cracks cone. You're like, oh, okay, we're like back in
to animals that we're familiar with and could hunt if
we needed to.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Oh. I love that poll. You you see the as
they move away, you.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
See that place on the food chain change and you
remember that now humans are the alphas in That's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
I love that take.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
It's great. I okay, let's take one final break and
when we come back, we'll give you, guys our our
full thoughts on the film. Okay, we're back, So Rosie,
(48:52):
rank this for me amongst the Jurassic Park films. How
are we? How are we going? We have to put
it in a specific place, but me just below the
original I know all trilogy.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
I'm going for. I love the original trilogy. I love
all of it.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
I think quality wise, this is like on a level
with the later entries into the trilogy, which I do
think are good. Like I would say this is kind
of an in between a Jurassic Part two and three
for the equality wise, I I do deeply enjoy the
Jurassic World movies. We know that, but that is a
subjective enjoyment. This is a better movie than those movies. YEA.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
Is a well made movie. It's a stripped down movie.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
It doesn't suffer from, you know, the very famous issue
that the first movie suffered from, which is Bryson heels
when she's in heels running away from a dinosaur. There's
a lot more thought going into this, but I will
say it is a lot more stripped down. They don't
take the kind of crazy swings they were taking in
that in Jurassic World, which I totally understand because those
(49:55):
movies were not necessarily well received.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I think this is a very rewatchable movie.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
I think Nathan Bailey and ma Herschel have come out
of this as the stars of the movie.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
I think that we get some.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
Great dinosaur action I'm excited to see it again. I'm
sad that this is not getting an Imax release because
of the way that the release schedule kind of shook out.
This was a movie that was rushed into production and
kind of sped through because they had a great script.
So I think it should have definitely got an Imax release.
I would have loved to see that, But f one
has all of Imax up until July eleventh with the
(50:29):
old release of Superman.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Ever heard of it? So yeah, I love this movie.
Speaker 3 (50:33):
I'm excited to see it again. I'm excited to see
how it influences kind of the other parts of Jurassic
World Law that we get because this is very camp
Cretaceous chaos theory coded with the dinosaurs that being experimented on.
And I love those shows. If you haven't watched them,
watch them. They add so much to the law. They're
so fun to check out. And yeah, I just I mean,
I was satisfied as a Jurassic Park fan. It didn't
(50:56):
necessarily like give me that big hit of like dopamine
I often get from these, because I do think it
is a little bit more like plays, a little bit
more safe, But I still just think it was a
really enjoyable, fun movie, and I'll definitely be rewatching it again.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
What about you.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
I had so much fun. I have tickets to see
it again. My parents are coming up this weekend, and
so I was like, Dad, we're going to see Jurassic Park.
I saw it in a small screen before, so I'm
excited to see it on a slightly larger screen with
a bigger audience this time around. I think, for me,
this is so much better than the middle trilogy. We'll
(51:32):
call it our Jurassic.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Worlds because obviously gonna become a.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
New Yeah, it seems that when they're trying to kick off,
and I think by choosing to do a genre outside
of what they typically do, like I would see Jurassic
Park is like a thriller, where this is more of
a horror, and so it's it feels and plays similarly
enough to the thriller of the original, while also making
it feel like its own very specific horror. I thought
(51:58):
the struck sure of It was really tight and fun
and follow I love that we're getting back to nature
because it's one as to see a dinosaur like walking
around a modern day suburb. It does steal some of
them like whimsy of it, like the magic you need,
you need the crustaceous looking space in.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
Order that you need that, we had space.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Yeah, and then I think cass Wise, my god, Mergia'll
he is a star of his generation and has not
been given the opportunity to shine quite enough.
Speaker 3 (52:28):
I hope he gives him that opportunity and opens it up.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
He should be doing action. We know he can do drama.
This is an Oscar winner.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
We know he should be in these spaces, leading these films.
Let's get more of them.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
And we know he's been wisely very selective, like apparently
a lot of the hindrance with Blade was like this
script is not done, I won't move forward, which good
for you, sir. And so it was exciting to see
him get a showcase here. I hope that when the
next movie comes up, we get a little bit more
of him, because you know, we deserve. So yeah, that's
a that's where we're at right now. I'm excited for
(53:02):
the next one. I love this cast. That family was adorable.
I think they did a great Gareth Edwards, like, really,
he stomped this. He did a great job. So yeah,
I'm looking forward to the next one. It was good.
I'm glad we got to do this one together. This
was fun. If you guys missed Jason on the recap,
as I certainly did. Uh oh wait, it's going to
come back for our roundtable to talk, so we'll get

Warning warning. Today's episode contains spoilers for Jurassic World Rebirth,
the newest entry into the sprawling Jurassic Park franchise.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
My name is Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Knight and I'm Joel Monk.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Hey, Joel, Welcome back to x ra Vision, the podcast
where we dive deep into your favorite shows, movies, comics,
and pop culture.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We are here at iHeart Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Where we'll be bringing you episodes Tuesday and Thursday, plus
all summer long.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We're highlighting the summer's biggest.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Movies every Friday in popcorn popouts, plus news on Saturdays.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
In today's episode, recovering the newest entry into the Jurassic
Park franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, which was an incredible film.
Before we get into our full uh uh you know
pop out here breaking everything down. Uh, we got giant dinosaurs,
three of them, three giant diasaur, a diosaur hunt across
(01:11):
the equator. Boats are flipping nineteen boats flip over this.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
If you are like me and you love water dinosaurs
slash find them really scary. Oh, this is a great
movie for you, Like this is giving you everything you
ever wanted. Dinosaurs you didn't even know could swim. Guess
what they're swimming. Yeah, just like a completely fun, rioteous
summer blockbuster. I feel like this might be the sleeper
(01:38):
hit of the summer just simply because Hey, you may
have forgotten this.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Because of the sprawling.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Jurassic Park franchise that we mentioned, But like when Jurassic
World one came out, when they rebooted this, it made
so much money that Disney did like a celebratory like
handover of like, wow, you beat this Avengers movie. You
know in Jurassic World did it back when Avengers End
Game eventually beat him. But like, these movies have got
(02:06):
the juice, the people love them. It's a new era,
and I actually think this has got a lot of
rewatchability because there are so many weird dinosaurs. There's so
much fun stuff. So yes, we are gonna recap the
whole movie. But before we do, remember great news. We're
gonna be at San Diego Comic com Come find us,
(02:28):
say hi. Me and Joel will be there. Jason's gonna
be there. Ian's gonna be there. We're gonna be hanging
out with the Den of Geek crew. We're gonna be
on some panels it's gonna be great. So just keep
an eye out to our socials and the discord to
find out where we're going, and come say hi because
it's San Diego, baby, and we're gonna party. It's gonna
be fun for fun. And now, as always on Extra Vision,
(02:51):
the recap finds a way.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Jurassic World Resurrection begins on the Aisle Saint Hubert, which
rebird bitch, Yes, we listen. We're ad the International Genetic
Technology Vibe.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Uh, this is the International Genetics Technology Inc. That's engine. Uh.
They're concerned by they drop of visitors at Jurassic World.
They're like, hey, people are bored with dinosaurs somehow, and
they're so in an ability to try to revamp sales.
They're mutating dinosaurs always wrong. It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
We didn't learn our lesson from frogs the first time,
so we're taking bigger swings this go round. One of
the scientists is hungry, so he grabs the Snickers, as
you do. But unfortunately he's also a mess, so he
try hot mess.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He literally drops a rapid justice.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
He's about to go into a very sterilized zone. I
also love that Snickers was like, yeah, do some product placement,
but we don't care if it causes a terrible disaster,
which because a lot of corporations do.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Not like that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But Snickers was like, hey, if you leave that wrapper
on the floor, if you lit, things are.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Going to be bad for you. And we support that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
This is actually an anti littering campaign from Snacks. So, uh,
it gets sucked into the door, causing all of the
doors to now stay open. They don't close. It's a problem.
Machines start flashing malfunction and an alarm goes off, so
scientists begin to evacuate, but the emergency doors start to close,
(04:26):
and now our stinger meeting friend cannot get out. But
there's a fail safe. You can time your opening the
door with somebody on the other side by turning keys
and doing a countdown. Ladies trying man, this scientist she's
in here. She's doing to the key. They're counting numbers
on fingers. But uh, oh oh no, the distortis Rex.
(04:46):
Our alien inspired mutant dinosaur friend pops up behind the
guy and listen that ran corps is gonna take him down.
There's nothing he can do. She can open that door.
It's she stays and stares him in the eye and cries,
which is very Godzilla of her, and I.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Think also like Star Trek of her, like looking through
the door like a spot.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh oh man, what a touching moment. So five years
after the events of Jurassic World, Dominion, Martin Krebs is
played by Rupert Friend. He's in a three piece suit.
He's too cool for dinosaurs. He's a capitalist villain and
pretty much right away you're like, this guy's a dick
for him to die, Yeah, we know, and we're aware.
He works for Parker gen X, a pharmaceutical company, and
(05:31):
when his cargets stuff in traffic, there's a dinosaur in
the middle of New York just dying in the street,
and instead of being heart broken or concerned, he wishes
death on this beautiful beast and walks away annoyed. A
true villain emerges. He's on a mission to recruit Zora Bennett,
that's Scarlett Joe Hanson for an impossible mission to the Equator,
(05:52):
which has sort of been not quarantined off, but it's
a no go zone. They're like, you cannot come here
because this is where the dinosaurs are holding up. Climate
change is killing them off, Dinosaurs dying everywhere, showing up,
not supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This little equate space that is, Yes, so.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Zora works in security, but she's earned some debts over
the years. She is she's not doing this job for
less than eight zeros. She said, come through with the
money and without flunching, Crebs agrees. This corporation's pockets are
deep and they are determined to craft a cure for
heart disease. So Zora's convinced. She agrees to join together.
Zora and Kreb go to the museum to find doctor
Henry Loomish's Jonathan Bailey in his slutty little glasses.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm fanning myself, it was. He is very very very
very very gorgeous in this what ude.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And he's a paleontologist too, So I mean, honestly a
full package here, and not just any paletogis. But you're
the student of the late great Alan Grant. Beautiful, so beautiful.
Henry's museum is failing. There used to be a line
around the block and a three hourway ticket, and they've
had twelve guests this week. So they're packing up the
fossils and preparing to close the exhibit because in this world,
(07:01):
people are really over dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I love this idea.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I'm like, bro, there's always going to be five year
olds who want to go. Even if they've seen every dinosaur,
they're gonna want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Five year olds love a dinosaur. I was one of
those kids.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It's not believable, but I love this statement that it
is making, which is even in the world of Jurassic World,
which when they rebooted it with Chris Pratt and Bryce
Alice Howard, the idea was people were already getting tired
of dinosaurs, and that's why they had to make the
indominous Rex, why they had to make scary stuff. And
so I love that this is kind of an extension
(07:34):
of that, which is like, guess what dinosaurs got free?
They started to die, and now they're just like a hindrance,
Like there's the Brontosaurus in the middle of New York
getting in the way of your traffic. It's a very
clever and depressing read.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
But also I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Like, I don't believe it, because I believe there will
always be a love for dinosaurs, but it's an interesting
status quo.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It definitely gives a nice meta quality to people being
like another Jurassic part series, Mike God and so that's
sort of the where I do. I was like, Okay,
this is a cute, interesting way, and I think you
have to make it unique and different. This world from
like a reason for us to come back, and this
is an intriguing reason definitely. So they're packing up the
fossils and preparing to close the exhibit. Loomis has been
(08:16):
assisting Martin Krebbs and the company in doing the research,
but he has never been in the fields. Not a
field guy. He's all, you know, history studying the fossils,
he explains to looking for three giant dinosaurs who lived
over one hundred years when they were alive, and these
are gigantic folks. The hope is that by drawing blood
from these living creatures, they can use genetic material to
(08:36):
cure heart disease, the leading cause of death globally. Crebs
is practically drooling on the floor over the cash at
this point. While Loomis was happy to help academically from
a distance for this project, he is shocked to learn
that they want him to go on the exhibit as
a field expert. He's not the type to break the
law which is absolutely what they're going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
But ayont A Dinosaul, the heart.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The heartbreaking and terrorist. He's sitting on the floor being
like should I go? Do I not go? And they're
just patiently waiting for him to make up his mind,
and about two minutes later they're like, so we're good
to go, and he's like, yeah, let's do this. So
now our gang is traveling to pick up Duncan Kincaid,
that's my Herschela ali if Zora is the security brain. Kincaid,
a longtime friend and business partner of Zora's, is like
(09:22):
a security captain. He's got the boat to get them
to the equator and additional guns to keep them safe.
And although you know they're not, they're already down here.
Krebs has no alternative plan. So Zora and Duncan run
a very Ocean's eleven style game on him where they're like, well, gosh,
we'd love to go, h but the money, I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Know, you're dangerous.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
How how can we possibly do? And so Crebs is like,
you know, I'll give you Duncan the same amount of
money I gave Zora will double the expenses of the strip.
Literally money not an object. Let's go Okay, So enter
Bobby at Water. That's ed screen a shoot, first asked
questions later, member of Duncan's team. He tries to pull
scheme agains Or and dunk Can assure him, Hey, we
(10:02):
already got the bag. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I am about it.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I love that it's such a funny moment because
it really this is a very stripped back version of
Jurassic Park kind of law, and a very different version
because you have these kind of mercenary characters going in.
But I love how well they establish this team, Like
you feel the banter is there. They've run this scheme before,
they've done these kind of extraction missions, usually for humans
(10:26):
or things rather than you know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Dinosaur blood. But I actually felt like this was so well.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Established that I immediately believed that they were a group,
which I think is one of the key things that
you have to believe to enjoy this movie.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yes, the chemistry and energy if you're casting for both
groups is really interesting. So you're going to be our
second group. So already on the Atlantic is Reuben Delgado.
This is Manuel Garcia Rulfo and his two daughters, Teresa
Delgado played by Luna Blaze and Isabella Audrina Miranda. Oh
she so good, so precious, and so talented. Ruben wants
his daughters to sail across the Atlantic, so he's teaching
(10:59):
Isabella while complaining about Teresa's boyfriend, Xavier played by David Yacono.
It's Exavier is trying to steer the ship, but when
he finally emerges from the bowels of the ship, he's
too tired from sexing his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And I also love that this is a new and
this is correct. If I'm from fans, I'm sure you will.
I'll beloved discord uses and extra vision listeners. But I
think that Xavier introduces a very important archetype we've never
had in a Jurassic Park movie. Stoner, you get him
in like every horror movie. But Xavier is like, he's
(11:33):
kind of lazy. He's just in the fucking boat, fucking
this guy's daughter. Like the dad is so chill about
as well, like he understands.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Trying to bepressive. Good dad. He's like he's like, I'm
not going to yell at her, because that's what pushes
girls closer to their douchey boyfriends. He's like, I'm really
gonna I think you're a smart, intelligent person, So I'm
trying to understand the decision to be with this guy
who I think is completely worthless. He's out here stealing
your sister's liquorice like a crazy place.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I even though it's meant to be being you know,
ration so that they can have some as they go
across this mission. But I have to say, Xavier unexpected
faith character arc for me. Like I say, he comes around, yeah,
and they didn't just do like, oh he's useless and
(12:21):
he's gonna betray them or whatever. There's like a much
more interesting kind of angle, which I really enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And how many patients really worth it? Like he's a
great dad. He's such a good dad. He's really trying
to teach them. Unfortunately, you know, Teresa and Ruben are
exhausted because they've just been trading off every twelve hours
stearing this ship while Xavier gets his beauty sleep. But
then oh is a velases a fin pop up on
(12:49):
the side, and it's it's not a small one. Oh no,
it's a spiny saurus.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, no, no, I think at this point it's the massasaurus.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So I was looking up mass of sauruss don't have fins,
and that's why I was confused. So there is a
mostaurus and there is a spinosaurus.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
But the massaurus has the shock fin that does.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I think. I'm pretty sure that at this point this
white research got really confused. At this point, I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Right, because you know what they do.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They go off to its that like, oh, the spinosauruses
are helping them, and then the helpers.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
This was the logic I was trying to figure out. Okay,
so the mastasaurus is the most feared creature in the ocean. Okay,
It's fast and strong, and the ceature begins to ram
their vote is essentially flipping the vessel. Okay, the entire
family falls off. Eventually able to get the girls on
the underside of the sinking ship, but Xavier is trapped inside.
So we goes down and try to rescue him. Uh.
(13:42):
And he tells the Xavier like, before you get out,
grab the radio so we can made it. But it's chaos.
The creature is still ramming in the ship is sinking. Uh.
And Reruven runs out of press so he has to
pop back up. Now we don't know if Xavier is
gonna get out. It's very tense and scary, but he does.
He gets out, he gets the radio, they're able to
call a may day.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Also, something I loved about this scene is that you
don't fully see the massasaurus at this point, like it's
very much just like this giant kind of creature flipping
the vote. It's clear that Isabella is like really scared
of dinosaurs and is aware about they keep being like
they're not gonna show up, Like there's the whole ocean,
why would they be here?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And I watched this in forty.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
X, thanks actually to our friends at the hashtag show
that they got me and my nephew in and we.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Were we were watching the movie in forty.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
X and this sequence where they're like shaking you up
in the water, spraying in your face so good, Like
absolutely would recommend forty X. Very Jurassic World. The ride
coded like what you get a universal. They gave us
like fun punchos like Dennis Nedri wears it was. It
was such a good action sequence and I was like, okay, okay,
(14:51):
this this movie looks like it's got the dinosaur juice,
like you know, we're practice, we're practical effects guys here,
and there's only one fully practical dinosaur in and it's
a very small dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But I have to say, I think Gareth.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Edwards, the director, and the CGI team and the BVFX
team did like an unreal job, because you really think
this massasaurus is real.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, it's scared, genuinely terrifying, and you love the family.
Like the script does a great job of, like the
actors obviously really selling this family as a unit and
being so sweet and it really grounded, like this is
an eighteen year old girl who clearly knows herself pretty well,
and it's confident on the ship. She's able to like
tea your sister, her sisters, like such a fun kid.
She's you know, she's scrappy, she's like suspect of this boyfriend.
(15:36):
She's enjoying sailing. But you know, she's very little, so
there's only so much she can do and so you're
genuinely terrified. So okay, So now we're back on Duncan ship.
The mission is progressing as planned. Henry Limis devonstrates how
they'll be pulling blood from these creatures using a dark
gun that will project itself into the air after it
fills with blood and parachute gracefully to the ground. He
asked if he can take the shot. They're hunting the
(15:56):
Muscastoris right now, and Zora was like, yeah, sure, you
could hang off the side of this boat going several
knots ow.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You can do it. I believe in you.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And he's like, maybe not. Emma lens and let Zora
take the shot. So Zora and Duncan catch up, Zora
reveals she's lost a team member to a car bomb
on her last mission. You get to change the subject.
She has Duncan if he and his wife were able
to work things out, but the passing of his young
son was too much for the couple to bear, and
they dissolve the marriage. So they're both they're sad colleagues
who aren't quite sure what the future holds for them.
(16:29):
The meeting signal reaches duncan ship, and while Crebs and
Bobby want to continue the mission, Duncan and Zora insists
on rescuing the family.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Love that. I think that's great. I think that's a
great twist.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I worry always about kind of black ops mercenary stories,
but actually I think here they do a really incredible
job of showing how being someone like that can destroy
your family, can destroy your loved ones. And at this point,
both Duncan and Zora are trying to make amends for
the things that they have done. And I think that
(17:00):
the way that that collides that the original Jurassic Park
scream writer David Kapp, who came back for this, kind
of ties those in makes this a very emotionally satisfying story,
even though it's a very kind of stripped back one.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I think that the scripting is so.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Good that you absolutely believe that Duncan is he will
fucking shoot Crebs in the head before he doesn't help
this family.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And this starts to really set up.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Some good drama between the boss of the mission, who's
the moneyman who's definitely in that lawyer kind of space
from the original Jurassic Pass, and the kind of good
guys inverted Commas who are willing to take, you know,
an hour from the mission to go and save this family.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now, what this family really want to be saved?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
The depending on where this is going question mark, Okay,
I would like to not be saved.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So when the crew arrives The family is grateful to
be rescued, but are quically concerned by the fact that
they're being with. They aren't being with to safety, but
instead of now being forced to hunt down the creature,
they just escape. Okay, we're gonna carry a quick break
and we come back. We're gonna find out how this
hunt goes, and you win. It's not good. It's not good.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Bad back We're back.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And I gotta tell you, guys, I gotta tell you
my deepest, truest thing about myself that I know is
that if they open Jurassic Park, I would go, so honestly, like,
I never judge anyone in these movies because I'm like,
you know what, this is a bad idea, you're going
to the island. But you know, if someone told me
I could see a dinosaur, I would also go.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So I'm like, can't judge you, guys.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I really can't. I really can't. Okay, So we're on
the ship. The children are terrified. Dad is tense, but
the crew feels like they've got this under control. This
is what they came here to do, and at first
thought it's fine. Zora takes her post at the front
of the ship, where loomis sort of suggestively straps her in,
which is yes, because she's absolutely gonna be not prone
during this fight.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
There is definitely some like I That's another thing that
I'm enjoying, is like, I'm really enjoying the fact that
they play with chemistry in this movie, very much like
the first Jurassic Park movie, and they're not necessarily committing
to it, but they're like, hey, this is a high pressure,
intensity situation, and there are hot people here, and maybe
(19:33):
in these kind of moments like Henry, for example, we
kind of learned that he is secretly an adrenaline junkie.
He just never knew, you know, So you get to
have that kind of well, of course, like hot people
are gonna suggestively like kind of because they're right at
the edge of this like massive adventure, and there's an
excitement and a chemistry there that I think really comes through.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It does, and it's subtle enough that if you're like
I don't like a force romance, it'll slide buy and
it's not in your face. But if you're into hot
people flirting with each other, enjoy. So she's there, she
takes a shot, it's good, she makes it. It's a
little bit of trial and error, but she gets it. Uh.
(20:16):
Lewis catches the parachuting vial, So victory, we did it. Uh,
but our guy doesn't hunt alone. Here come the spinosaurces.
How smaller?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
This so really scary interesting to imagine how dinosaurs would
interact with each other and start to help each other,
just like in the natural world of animals, as we know.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Very good stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, and because they're smaller, they're able to attack in
a completely different way than the massasaurus. So they're able
to sort of like get closer to the ship and
they're biting and lunging it. People. During this fight, we
lose a couple of folks. Duncan steering the ship and
in order to escape, he's like, you know what I'm
gonna do, I'll just steer into the rocks smaller we
(21:00):
can navigate. Of course, the spina sources are all up
in that be the rocks are starting to shred the ship.
Ruben tells Teresa, Hey, you gotta go make a may
day call because this ship he's down.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And also he's like, we just need to get off
this fucking ship. These people are crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Like, just go make the call, and she does, and
then we, yeah, are truly if you were not sure
that a billy and a big farmer guy was the villain,
you're gonna know he's the villain now.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
So Teresa gets to the phone, Keeber tells her, Hey,
don't don't make the call. It's fine because again they're
in an illegal space. He doesn't want the mission to
be disrupted. She starts arguing with him, but oh ship
gets rammed and off she goes. So she is now
overboard and keep her has the opportunity to extend an arm,
throw her a life vest.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Tell you she's her fall off, like it's so crazy, well.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
A literal teenager. He's like, well, I guess that's what
the universe wanted and walks away. So when she falls off,
Xavier our guy is like, not my girl, and sweet guy.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Jumps in like no problems be damned.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He's like, fuck that.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
So he's winning Ruben over in this moment, winning Isabella
over because he doesn't even think about it.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And then Rubin and.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Is like, hey, Isabella, let's just jump in the water
because honestly, like these dinosaur hundred people are nuts and
we just got to try and find this alleged village
elsewhere on the island, and they had hypothesized a little
earlier that the reason the dinosaurs were attacking the ship
is because they felt it was a predator.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
So, okay, attack the ship. We will swim way to safety.
Zora and Loomis mean while are putting floaties on all
the equipment because they're like, this ship is going down,
but we have a mission to finish, so everyone takes
through the water to timpt out run the creatures.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
There's some interesting scary moments here where there is another
character who we barely get to meet, who's a woman,
a female character who's on the boat, and we kind
of see as Zra and Loomis are like stuck on
the boat. There's a great moment if you see it
in forty X.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm not even sponsored, it was just really that good.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
But as the boat is kind of crashing there underneath
the rocks and it's like crunching on them and they're
having to dive down, and eventually all the floaties get there,
and this poor lady rip to this one woman on
the ship she is find the bag of floaties and
she's kind of, oh, thank god, she's trying to push
(23:30):
it to the shore.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
She's at the shore.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
And if you have an eagle eye, you may see
something move to the side of her. And if you don't,
then you're gonna get an incredible jump scare because a
spinosaurus grabs her from behind and just the eats her
and it's really really scary. The eleven year old I
saw it with this was definitely his biggest jump scare.
She was really really freaked out by it. Rip to
(23:56):
that person. Duncan arrives on shore and you kind of
he starts to realize, like fuck, like we just lost
two of our friends. Is this job worth it? Can
we really do it? And also like now the boat's crashed,
Like what did this fucking creb sky plan nothing? But
Zora is very good at her job, So she did
plan something, didn't she Joe out?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So Zora is very good to her job, and she's like, listen,
a helicopter's gonna swing by for you guys in like
forty eight hours at sunset if we don't radio in,
which we can't do now, so they're only gonna do
one fly by. Though this does seem not smart. You're
in the air, you can't get caught, but whatever. So
they're like, we're gonna do one fly by the island,
so all of you guys need to be on high
(24:38):
ground where we can see you when we fly by,
or you're the abandoned forever on this island nobody ever
comes to. Okay, great. I think the jump scare you
mentioned really opens a door to like the cinematography of
this film between so well into horror, and what's great
about horror is things in the background, small movements, Yeah,
(24:59):
really up the intensity. And to do that with giant
dinosaurs frequently you have done popping out of all kinds
of button from behind them, boat out of tall grass,
from the water the.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Best. Yeah, you're right, that's such a good call. There's
a great moment where.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You kind of like the classic fridge scare in a
slasher movie where you think someone's going to be behind
the door and they're not. They do such a fun
version of that with the t Rex here. I think
Gareth Edwards, it's such a great part and we're gonna
get there and and Gareth Edwards he directed Rogue one.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Obviously we love Rogue One. We know that Tony.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Gilroy was very heavily involved in that as well. But
also Gareth Edwards broke onto the scene with a movie
called Monsters that was an indie sci fi horror movie
about an unexpected kind of couple who had to travel
across this part of North America that had been taken
over by by like giant kind of kaijusque monsters. And
(25:59):
and I think like from then he really established his
style as a director. And also most recently he did
The Creator, which was not necessarily like the indie hit
I think that Disney wanted it to because it was
an independent original movie, but it was very lauded when
it came to the visuals, the way it looked, the cinematography,
the special effects, and I think Gareth Edwards once again
(26:21):
shows like he is a thoughtful, interesting filmmaker. There are
so many jump scares here, but you also get those moments.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Of just huge scope.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
He has such an interesting eye for how you shoot
a giant dinosaur, because that's the thing is, these dinosaurs
are the Titans, they're the colossals, they are the biggest dinosaurs.
And in a very hilarious and Avatar the Lost Airbender
coded thing, they have to get blood from the biggest
(26:51):
dinosaur in the water, they've done it, Massasaurus, biggest dinosaur
on land Titanosaurus, and biggest dinosaur in the air, which
I believe is.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Called a quite a coatless or something along those lines.
But it is very scary and big.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
And so the one thing that CIBA didn't tell them, though,
is that this island is not just some leftover like
isla sauna or something. This is where all the weird
experimental mutated dinosaurs are staying, which, sir, you should have
told them that first.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
That is a day one asterisk in the contract that
it absolutelys to be highlighted and underlined mutant dinosaurs live here.
But it turns out like the company could have destroyed
it destroyed the dinosaurs, but they were like, yeah, those
were really expensive and now we can just hide them
as line items, and so we don't have that glit.
(27:45):
It's a multimillion dollar loss or you know, danger but
thousands of miles away. So of course capitalism. Okay, so
now we're in the jungle. The jungle is an unkind atmosphere.
Duncan describes it as nothing you can see more than
three feet in front of your faith and constantly eyes
tracking you, and he makes a declaration that seems like
it will seal his fate. He swears he's not going
(28:06):
to die in the jungle, at which point I'm like,
so long, Marcella Ali. Keeper discovers a downed plane with
a skeleton pilot hanging from a cockpit with a gun
in his hands. So Keeper collects Chekhov's gun and.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Quiet very Also, I love this moment because it is
legit terrifying. There's like blood like things like liquid dripping
on him. That the skeletal remains are way more skeletal
and scary than we usually get because.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
We've seen a skeleton before in Jurassic Talk. But this
is a horror moment.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
But you know what you see that Kiba's just a
stone called sociopath because he just sees that gun and
he's like, I'll take it, and that's the insurance for me.
For Yeah, It's like, okay, I don't think it's gonna
go well for you, babe, but you know what, take
the gun.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Take Chekhov's gun. He'll borrow it to you.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So the Dagana family plus Xavier find a cave to
hold up in. Keeper mentioned that on the ship that
there was a community living on the island. They be
able to take a phone call there, so he's like,
don't even sweat it will be okay. And he told
him about the helicopter. I think, are there's a plane.
We got some options, like, don't worry about it, okay.
So Ruben thanks Xavier for saving his daughter and exit
(29:14):
a kind of strange and hilarious moment, just brushes it off.
He's like, man, whatever, He's like, I don't even know
why she wants to be with me.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, He's like, I'm useless guy, but I love her,
so I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
And he's not useless.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
He did a say he saved it once. He's on
a scary Jurassic dinosaur island.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
He comes through.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
He listened and in peace times useless. At wartime, he's
absolutely ready to go, and he offers to take the
first watch so that Reuben can catch up on some sleep.
So the next morning, family gets her track. Isabelle discovers
a small orphan dinosaur, Dolores, and they quickly become friends,
and she statues the creature in her backpack.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
She is so cute, I believe this is a new dinosaur.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You haven't seen before called an aqua ops and this
is our full prosthetic animatronic dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
They made a real Dolores. They got to connect with her,
and I believe I have not been there yet. I
believe you can now meet meet Dolores at Universal Studio stream.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So I love that because Dolores is very cute, and
we love a cute.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Sidekick like giving in the movies and the TV shows.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
With Camp Crustaceous, you've had Lumpy, So it's like, it's
nice to bring.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That to the main stream and the big seas.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It's definitely giving. If you were a Barney kid a
bj vibe, or if you like the dinosaurs the Baby
of Very Baby, Yes, it's so cute. So Zora and
crew reach an open field of overgrown grass so tall
it can hide the largest dino. We're gonna get the
titanosaurs when they're lying down. So the gentle plant eating
(30:51):
dinosaurs are mostly not a threat safer their very long
switchy tails, which could potentially do damage. Loumis is blow.
I mean having a full on like emotion religious experience.
Look at these creatures.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
This is the one moment that I think captures the thing.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That otherwise this movie doesn't understand the importance of which
is like the wonder and awe of a dinosaur. But
Jonathan Bailey, and if you follow me on let a Box,
you know, I'm already compt talking about this Oscar campaign
that I will Solow be running for him. Yes, but
he had in the forty X screening, right, So we're
being jostled, our popcorns flying everywhere, there's kids, everyone's screaming.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
In this moment.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Where they kind of slowly move you towards the dinosaur
and he touches it and he starts to just tear
up and cry. It was so beautiful that I was crying,
The guy next to me was crying, The friend I
was with was crying. You know. It was like it
just really captured that feeling of what Jurassic Park is about,
which is the beauty of nature and how scary it
(31:49):
can be, but also like the awe we feel when
we get to see creatures in the wild and the
importance of nature.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And he does he does manage to get the sample.
Good for him. I feel like it's going pretty well
for them at this point, Like this.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is actually quite a chill Jurassic experience so far. And
then doctor Loomis is like, so what if if we
didn't give it to the evil scientist, how about sexy
skull Ansen. We just like you know, crowd open sourced
(32:23):
it so anyone could have it. And she's like, oh,
I don't think I would get any money in that case,
but you can tell there's like a twinkle in.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Her eye, like doctor Loomish, and she's a little bit
moved by his emotional reaction to the dinosaurs, definitely, And
then he tells the story of like you know, when
they discovered insulin, you know that they were like, hey,
everybody should have access to this, everyone should have access
to this pharmacutical company's assholes. Yeah, she's like she's thinking
(32:52):
about it. She's she's contemplating, you know, she needs the money,
but she just like, maybe that would be the better
thing to do. Okay, So the family a raft. They
are out and they're like, oh, great, we can take
the water. We'll follow there's they noticed some pipes. They're like, oh, look,
water pipes. I bet we could follow this to the
facility with the phone that'll be here.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
He's a very clever dad. I gotta say this is
smart uh.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But as our approach of the raft, oh no, here
comes everyone's favorite dinosaur, a t reft and it is
huge and it is close. Okay, this is the same
you were talking about.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, I gotta talk about this scene because we have
Teresa and she's trying to get the boat and then
she realizes the boat is actually unfinished, but she finds
a life raft and we get this great moment where
one the t rex is like sleeping like a cute
cat who doesn't want to see that. I love that
makes a lot of sense, very Godzilla codd if you
saw the last Godzilla movie where Godzilla sleeping in the
coliseum like he's a cute cat. We also know that
(33:46):
the Minus one director was inspired by his cat for Godzilla,
so I love that all these directors are bringing that
to this and Gareth Edwards definitely is here. He we
see the dinosaur sleeping, she's trying to pull the raft
so that it will wake him up, and then she
pops the raft open and it blows up and you
expect the t rex to be behind her when it
(34:08):
goes down, but it's gone and it's such a scary
fake out moment. And then it leads to this is
the sequence that I think if you are a Jurassic
Park fan you love the books, this is one of
the sequences that was never properly adapted from the books,
and it.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Is they couldn't get that original t Rex well okay,
exactly he was.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
He was a real living animatronic.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
And also they did kind of half adapt it in
Jurassic Park three with the Spinosaurus. But here David Kep
gets to bring the scene he always wanted to to life,
which is the t Rex swimming behind this little life raft.
And I'm telling you, guys, Joel knows we've been to
We've been to theme parks together. I am like so
terrified of dinosaur animatronics, but you will, if you are
(34:55):
my special friend and I love you, I will go
on the Jurassic World ride with you. And I like
cry the whole time because it's amazing, but I will
also cry because it's scary. And this entire movie, I
was like, man, these motherfuckers are gonna make the scariest
ride with this movie, Like they're gonna be able to
expand what the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park rides already are.
(35:16):
It really feels like Universal is in a space now
where they're creating rides like with Dark Universe that can
kind of create new IP and they're also open to
leaning into the IP that is so beloved, And this
scene feels like Peak make a move like Orlando, Universal,
You're getting an updated Jurassic Park ride after this one,
(35:37):
because it is so so scary.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Genuinely looking for like t Rex's giant head, the fact
that at one point it's completely again submerged by water,
where you're just like, wait, oh no, now we can't
see it. Where is it? And then you know it's
giving if you if you're a pig than of the
original Jurassic Park when the t Rex attacks the car,
you're seeing some similarities, right, So Yeah, the kid is
stuck in the raft at one point by herself again
another boat over.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
She gets flipped. The boats are getting flipped.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
This I thought was such a clever, scary visual that
does a homage to that you know, original Colas sequence,
but also adds something really new.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yeah, no, it's totally fresh, because like the thing is
that everyone's still such close proximity. The rushing water adds
such a terrifying element to it. And similar to that
scene though, where you have a seemably impossible cliff suddenly emerge. Yeah,
suddenly a wall that the t Rex cannot get passed,
and you're like, oh, fully this makes sense. Now pause.
If you've seen the original, it does make sense. It's
(36:36):
an enclosure. There's a slight slope. They don't quite show
it into the establishing shot, and so you miss it.
But it does make sense. You can see uh, visuals
of the set, so where you're like, oh, that's why
there's a clip suddenly there here, it's a little less clear.
In game, we don't really get an establishing shot of
the wall to the d Rex, not just walk around.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But I know, I like the idea that the t
Rex is kind of like bored.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
He's just like okay, well I'm not gonna put that
much yet, but and like I can just see a
dinosaur like don't.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Weary Cat comparison. It is like, yes, Isabella gets out
from underneath the boat, is able to not really out swim,
but sort of the current is pushing and she gets
close enough and okay, she's through the wall and she's safe. Uh.
T Rex follows her all the way up to the wall,
and then it's like sticking. It's like snout through the wall,
trying to like and at very much gave me cat
under a door, would is Paul.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Oh yeah, there's that great moment too.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
N isfl is still underneath and the t Rex's teeth
kind of through.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
The yellow but they don't fully hit it. It's really good.
But guess what, the family's safe again. Love this for
the family. It's going really well for them.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Continuing that, I would say, like, you know, there's always
generally kids in a Jurassic Park movie, and they don't
tend to die, so I'm very I'm feeling very happy.
As the eleven year old told me there's too much plot, Arma,
and I said, no, babe, they're just kids. I was
like they I was like, they're just kids. You can't
kill a kid in a in like a kid's movie.
It's not pla Arma, it's just a rule.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Like this is just park and we are not trying
to scar the children. Okay, so we're gonna take a
quick break and when we come back, we're gonna talk
about what happens when you try to draw blood from
a dinosaur's egg. They're not happy about it. Okay, we're back.
(38:24):
So our team makes it to the mountains where they're
set to propel into the nest of a quasal as
so many see.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Es.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You know what, let's go with it, that's what we're
calling it. Okay, we're listening together, guys. This creature is
as large as a bomber and it can fly. And
so they're like, we are not going to try to
shoot this thing as it's soaring through the air. Let's
go get like the amtiotic fluid from one of its
eggs instead. Okay, great, So they're repelling down h and
this is kind of difficult for doctor Lumis, again not
(39:00):
really an adventurer, though he gave us a lot climb
out his gym exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
He was like, I got like a twenty foot wool
at my gym, and I'm like, babe, this is a
five hundred foot.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Draw into a dinosaur's nest. But you know what, I
love it. You're brave, You're getting a little spicy with it,
and I believe in you, Henry Limis. You are an
adventurer to me.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yes. And it's a messy trek down, but he gets there.
They're able to pull the fluid, but oh, here comes mom.
She's retired and she is upset. Now luckily she's made
her nest and like these human like.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
It's very interesting because it's kind of these human ruins,
but the implication of the way they are built is
that the humans worship these dinosaurs, like it seems like
the nest was made for them almost.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
One of the definite things where I'm like, I would
love to know more about that.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
And we definitely made a ror dive because I couldn't
tell if it was like, oh, the park had designed
these spaces and they were planning to maybe use it
one day and it was gonna be fun, or if like, oh,
maybe there's like a dinosaurs have been here for a
long time, maybe like the bones were in inspiration for
like a faith or something. We don't really know, but
think of the very like Indiana Jones kind of temple.
(40:06):
So it's like yes, yes, And they're trying to escape
the bird and it's dodging and weaving in between all
of these like physical structures and they're able to sort
of dodge it. Up top, Duncan is trying to distract
the bird with one of his other crew members, and
they do. They do. Unfortunately, that crew member successfully distracts
(40:28):
the bird and then gains ends up eat. Oh and
Loomis and Zora are trying to get the vial, but
it's bouncing all over the nest and oh my god,
it almost fell over the side. Loomis repels further down
to get the vial, but the rope holding him up
is dragging over the cliff side and so the ropes
get a snap. Soora tries to pull him up, but
he's determined, so the rope snaps. He does fall the
(40:48):
quas Paps has eaten the crew member. The vile parachute
safely to the ground, so all of these theatrics were
not worth it. Luckily, Loomis's falls cushioned by like jungle
foliage and he doesn't die or break a bone.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Lucky impressive, impressive man, truly.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
So the family makes it to the island outpost a
bit before the Parker gen X team does. Teresa explodes
as Keeper approaches for leaving her to die. Keeper try,
tired of having to pretend to be a decent human,
whips out Chekhov's gun handcuffs of the blood samples to
his wristworks are in a very thick kind of like
metal case they've been carrying around absolutely, and he demands
(41:25):
everyone get ready for the helicopter. But the International Genetics
Technology inks mutations are heaviest year because oh no, this
is the lab where we started the most Snicker's lab.
It's not good. So the girls, Isabella and Teresa seek
shelter in the convenience store. They are cornered by a
raptor crossed with a dilophosaurus that's the asset spinning dinosaur
(41:46):
created for the original.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Kind of also some kind of like a bud bird
like Italer possibly maybe the coach list, because it has
these scary kind of I have to say, this was
a dinosaur that in the trailers I thought kind of
looked silly, but in the actual oh it's so good
saying and context of the movie is really scary. They're
essentially in like a seven eleven, and the wrapped a
(42:09):
dell off a saurus dinosaur is kind of trying to hide,
like trying to stalk them, so we get some good
callbacks to the original kids in the first movie. But
this is fun because you get to see Isabella like
hiding in a fridge and she's like covering herself up
so that it can only see its own reflection, and it's.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Really giving, almost like the Last of Us grocery store scene.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yes, yes, yes, if the topic isn't two good, very scary, yeah,
it's it's really tense.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
It'ess Actually, if he confits my brother to go see
the movie. They released a trailer of just this scene
a while ago, and he was like, a convenience store
and dinosaurs. Okay, let's do it. Here's the midside about
the action set, and it's a great set piece.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
So they're able to find it, find a great on
the store floor that leads to like underground tunnels, and
so they decide to hide in there. Unfortunately, one of
these dinosaurs follows them down and is stocking them. So
the coward Keeber hops in the car. He's like, I'm
actually done with this. I'm gonna go try to find
the helicopter. Zora had been trying to take shots on
the car into the store to distract the dinosaurs, and
(43:12):
she went to falling off. She's almost run over. Unfortunately,
Keeper's got this giant metal case cuf to his wrist
and it's actually more of an obstacle than a help.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Yes, and this is really great because it's really funny
when Zora is like under the car and Keba drives
it off her and it's giving again Dennis Nedri. Now,
I will say I'm calling out these because I love
a homage and I love the original Jurassic Park movies.
But I have seen some critiques in this movie that
it's just redoing the first movie.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I don't agree.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
I think this is a very different situation tone, even
the setup and the way that they go into it.
I think it's quite original.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
But there are fun nods here.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Keba drives off like he's fucking Dennis Nedri running away,
but instead of the Delophosaurus, this man ends up getting
gobbled up by the terrifying directs, which we finally.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
See here and again is very divisive.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
So the family's in the bowels and they're being stalked.
Scar Jo has survived, so doctor Zora goes down to
try to help them. The family finds this like large
gated thing is like it's like a gate. It's big
metal bars. They're into concrete. So the opening to that
is on the other side of the gate, and the
only person tiny enough to get through is Isabella. So
(44:33):
she's like, eh, and.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
She's a real one. She just does it.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
She is so confident. But oh no, now we're stuck
behind the door and here comes d Rex again. She
opens her family escapes. That means who else escapes d Rex? Okay? Now,
doctor is that here? He sees the helicopter. It's here,
it's shining and it's bright, and it's coming toward him,
and he could not be happier. Thank god they saw
the helicopter. The helicopter sees them, but no, de Rex
(44:56):
is out and has actually captured the helicopter and the
O cool perspective shot and again this movie is filled
with him. The light is shining right into the lens,
so you think the helicopter is just approaching. But then
as the light turns away from the lens, you can
see the helicopter in the jaws of the d Rex
and it's careening toward our sweet baby doctor, mister Loomis.
(45:18):
It's it's terrifying and really good action.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Great moment, and yet obviously Kiba, he's not gonna survive
now the d Rex is out. The d Rex eats
him in a very gruesome moment we get to see
him get yammed up, eats his head, he chops me,
eats him in the air, and of course attaching the
suitcase to his arm meant this was always gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
The arm is left.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yet Samuel Jackson style and Jor just grabs that up
and is like boom.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
But there's another hero in this.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
Moment, and I love this, which is this moment. Yeah,
he's thinking of his son. Yeahs Sissy won't die in
the jungle, but he doesn't want the kids to be scared,
like be scared and not be able to get away.
So he runs with a flat very alien coded and
he's kind of luring the monster away into the jungle.
(46:11):
Now I was ready to be very disappointed at this
moment because they pissed.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
They do make you think that Mahershela Ali is.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Dead, is losing her mind. On the side, we can't.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Leave and they finally get to the boat, which I
have to say, guys, the want my one critique of
this movie. You ain't getting me in a fucking boat
after all the boat stuff.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Damn boats, I'll just die drowning.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Not I am not going in a fucking boat with
these dinosaurs. You were far away and you're still getting
in by a dinosaur. Absolutely not yes, but they do
go on a boat. They leave the d Rex behind,
and what happens, shaw.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
A flair lights up into the air. Our sweet baby
Duncan did not die in the jungle of him, thank god.
So they wing back to get him. Luckily, he's floated
pretty far away from the recent Even though we've already
established that flares tend to draw dinosaurs attention, I get
in this case, he's stupid. I guess let's fight with
(47:13):
not worth it for this small little snack. So okay, uh.
We sail off into sunset. But before we do, Zora
looks to Loomis and she goes, hey, let's give this
medication to everybody. Let's make everybody gets it.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Getting that money from that dead guy anyway, so it's
a good time.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
I don't know if the contract was written down a
lot of little.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Side I know it seems like it was very illegal.
And you get your your final kind of homage.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
You get hair is as that driving away in the boat,
you see dolphins come up beside them. By the way,
I'll be freaking out to see those dolphins. I don't
want to see it's beIN coming up. But it's a
nice little.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Nod to the buds.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
That we see at the end of the original Jurassic
Park when they're heading out, and the kind of reminder
of how buds were the know they are the descendants
of dinosaurs, and I think the implication hair is kind
of thinking about those what are dinosaurs and seeing doll face.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
It's also the final shot of the Jurassic Park is
when they're looking out the window and you see the
cracks cone. You're like, oh, okay, we're like back in
to animals that we're familiar with and could hunt if
we needed to.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Oh. I love that poll. You you see the as
they move away, you.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
See that place on the food chain change and you
remember that now humans are the alphas in That's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
I love that take.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
It's great. I okay, let's take one final break and
when we come back, we'll give you, guys our our
full thoughts on the film. Okay, we're back, So Rosie,
(48:52):
rank this for me amongst the Jurassic Park films. How
are we? How are we going? We have to put
it in a specific place, but me just below the
original I know all trilogy.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
I'm going for. I love the original trilogy. I love
all of it.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
I think quality wise, this is like on a level
with the later entries into the trilogy, which I do
think are good. Like I would say this is kind
of an in between a Jurassic Part two and three
for the equality wise, I I do deeply enjoy the
Jurassic World movies. We know that, but that is a
subjective enjoyment. This is a better movie than those movies. YEA.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
Is a well made movie. It's a stripped down movie.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
It doesn't suffer from, you know, the very famous issue
that the first movie suffered from, which is Bryson heels
when she's in heels running away from a dinosaur. There's
a lot more thought going into this, but I will
say it is a lot more stripped down. They don't
take the kind of crazy swings they were taking in
that in Jurassic World, which I totally understand because those
(49:55):
movies were not necessarily well received.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I think this is a very rewatchable movie.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
I think Nathan Bailey and ma Herschel have come out
of this as the stars of the movie.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
I think that we get some.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
Great dinosaur action I'm excited to see it again. I'm
sad that this is not getting an Imax release because
of the way that the release schedule kind of shook out.
This was a movie that was rushed into production and
kind of sped through because they had a great script.
So I think it should have definitely got an Imax release.
I would have loved to see that, But f one
has all of Imax up until July eleventh with the
(50:29):
old release of Superman.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Ever heard of it? So yeah, I love this movie.
Speaker 3 (50:33):
I'm excited to see it again. I'm excited to see
how it influences kind of the other parts of Jurassic
World Law that we get because this is very camp
Cretaceous chaos theory coded with the dinosaurs that being experimented on.
And I love those shows. If you haven't watched them,
watch them. They add so much to the law. They're
so fun to check out. And yeah, I just I mean,
I was satisfied as a Jurassic Park fan. It didn't
(50:56):
necessarily like give me that big hit of like dopamine
I often get from these, because I do think it
is a little bit more like plays, a little bit
more safe, But I still just think it was a
really enjoyable, fun movie, and I'll definitely be rewatching it again.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
What about you.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
I had so much fun. I have tickets to see
it again. My parents are coming up this weekend, and
so I was like, Dad, we're going to see Jurassic Park.
I saw it in a small screen before, so I'm
excited to see it on a slightly larger screen with
a bigger audience this time around. I think, for me,
this is so much better than the middle trilogy. We'll
(51:32):
call it our Jurassic.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Worlds because obviously gonna become a.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
New Yeah, it seems that when they're trying to kick off,
and I think by choosing to do a genre outside
of what they typically do, like I would see Jurassic
Park is like a thriller, where this is more of
a horror, and so it's it feels and plays similarly
enough to the thriller of the original, while also making
it feel like its own very specific horror. I thought
(51:58):
the struck sure of It was really tight and fun
and follow I love that we're getting back to nature
because it's one as to see a dinosaur like walking
around a modern day suburb. It does steal some of
them like whimsy of it, like the magic you need,
you need the crustaceous looking space in.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
Order that you need that, we had space.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
Yeah, and then I think cass Wise, my god, Mergia'll
he is a star of his generation and has not
been given the opportunity to shine quite enough.
Speaker 3 (52:28):
I hope he gives him that opportunity and opens it up.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
He should be doing action. We know he can do drama.
This is an Oscar winner.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
We know he should be in these spaces, leading these films.
Let's get more of them.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
And we know he's been wisely very selective, like apparently
a lot of the hindrance with Blade was like this
script is not done, I won't move forward, which good
for you, sir. And so it was exciting to see
him get a showcase here. I hope that when the
next movie comes up, we get a little bit more
of him, because you know, we deserve. So yeah, that's
a that's where we're at right now. I'm excited for
(53:02):
the next one. I love this cast. That family was adorable.
I think they did a great Gareth Edwards, like, really,
he stomped this. He did a great job. So yeah,
I'm looking forward to the next one. It was good.
I'm glad we got to do this one together. This
was fun. If you guys missed Jason on the recap,
as I certainly did. Uh oh wait, it's going to
