Speaker 1: Warning warning. Today's episode contains spoilers for Jurassic World Rebirth,
Speaker 1: the newest entry into the sprawling Jurassic Park franchise.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 1: My name is Rosie.
Speaker 2: Knight and I'm Joel Monk.
Speaker 3: Hey, Joel, Welcome back to x ra Vision, the podcast

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