We saw Jurassic World Rebirth on opening day, but haven't discussed it with each other yet. We share all our favorite moments, dinosaurs, and theories about the movie.

In this episode, we break down the horror-infused tone of Jurassic World: Rebirth, from malfunctioning park systems to scary Mosasaurus sequences. We explore standout scenes like Bronto Billy’s first appearance in NYC, the Quetzalcoatlus and Spinosaurus teaming up with the Mosasaur. We give our thoughts on the all new cast including Scarlett Johansson (Zora Bennett), Mahershala Ali (Duncan Kincaid), Jonathan Bailey (Dr. Henry Loomis), and other minor characters.
We also dive into updated animal portrayals—like the adorable backpack-sized Aquilops named Dolores, the eerie hybrid Mutadon, and the menacing Distortus rex—along with practical effects and callbacks to earlier films. Finally, we debate what worked, what didn’t, favorite dinos, and lingering questions about the sequel’s direction.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
