1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. A different episode for you

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: this week, Full transparency on vacation right now. So if

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: you go to my Instagram page, you'll probably see me

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: at a beach and my wife Kelsey is here with me. Now,

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: how are you ready for vacation? Ready for vacation? But

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: it is fourth of July week. We didn't want to

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: leave you without a new episode, so we wanted to

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: do what we do on the podcast sometimes is do

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: a spoiler edition of a movie review, and we're going

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: to talk about Jurassic World Dominion, which I had a

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts that I wasn't able to fit into

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: my regular review because I alluded to the plot being

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: kind of dumb. But we'll get into all that. You

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: didn't give your full review on the movie. So what

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: is your perspective on Jurassic World Dominion from not seeing

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: all the other Jurassic Park movies. First thought after we

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: saw it was like, that was really good. And then

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: as I like marinated on my feelings, I was like, actually,

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't about dinosaurs. It was about locusts. The dinosaurs

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: just were like supporting characters. And then the more I

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: thought about it, I was like, that's kind of stupid

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: for a movie that's supposed to be about dinosaurs. I'm

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be an epic conclusion, but yet it's about

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: like genetically modified locusts. And that was the thing I

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: struggled with about, you know, talking about this movie is

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I didn't really feel like it was a bad movie.

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: I just watched it and afterwards was like, well, nothing

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: really made sense. Yeah, it wasn't bad. It was a

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: good movie, and we see from how much money it's made.

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: If it was like a stand alone it would be

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: a great movie. But as a part of the Jurassic series,

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't about dinosaurs. The dinosaurs just like randomly happened

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: to be in scenes. They had to have a reason

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: for Laura Dern to come back and Sam Neil's character

36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: to come back, and it's Laura Dern trying to expose

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: this evil corporation that was using these genetically modified locusts

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: to destroy crops and try to take over the world's

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: food population, and that was the premise of the movie.

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: You're right, the supporting characters were the dinosaurs just kind

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: of there. And also you have to think about you

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of writers, how many people do that

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: go through? And they were like, yes, this is it.

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: It kind of felt like they had this story. They

45
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: were pitching the idea for this and there was like

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: a completely separate idea for a movie, and they're like, hey,

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: can we turn that into the Jurassic World Dominion movie

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: by just adding in dinosaurs to it. That's what it

49
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: felt like to me. But again, I don't find the

50
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: movie to be I wouldn't put it on a list

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: of worst movies of the year. I think it's because

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: I had such high expectations going into it that it

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: let me down. But also I never really cared about

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: anything throughout the entire movie. Things would happen and I'd

55
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: be like, I don't really care how they get out

56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: of this situation, Like it's fine, but there's nothing keeping

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: me emotionally invested in this movie. And I know sometimes

58
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: it gets compared to you know, big dumb fund summer

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: action movies, which I like, like, I'm all here for that.

60
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: But I find when you are living inside of the

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park Jurassic World franchise, there's been emotional moments, there's

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: been moments that I felt more invested in the characters,

63
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: invested on them living, discovering things. So just comparing it

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: to the movies that came before it, that's kind of

65
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: where I feel like it deserves to have some kind

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: of gravity to all these things happening, not just a

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: bunch of random action sequences of people getting chased in

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: them kind of being in these well will they get

69
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: out or can not get out situations? Like literally, the

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: entire plot did not revolve around dinosaurs, Like it was

71
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: taking place at this company's compound and that's where the

72
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: dinosaurs were being held now, and that was the only

73
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: connection that it had to dinosaurs. Yeah, because the thing

74
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: that's so great about the original is them create in

75
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: the park where normal civilians are going to see them,

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: and that's where they wreck havoc after escaping kind of

77
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: the same thing they did in the first Jurassic World.

78
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: This one is just all the other dinosaurs kind of

79
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: running around And in addition to that, the other parts

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 1: that don't make sense is them kind of going back

81
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: and discovering and fighting Jeff Goldblum and he's just kind

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: of there. He's there talking about his book and giving

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: a speech and then what does he do there? Is

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: that his whole job there just to give speeches and

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: he's the best part of the entire movie. But again,

86
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: his character in this movie doesn't really make sense either,

87
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: just like, oh yeah, Jeff Goldblum's back. And then the villain.

88
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: I think that is maybe one of the worst movie

89
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: villains I've ever seen. He kind of looks like the

90
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: new Cego of Apple, Tim Cook. They tried to create

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: some kind of weird character with him, of him trying

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: to be funny or doing things that were like quirky

93
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: and supposed to be like a comedic relief of him

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: being so at the same time being the villain also

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: trying to be like this weird, quirky character who has

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: something else going on with him. But it was so bad,

97
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: and by the time it got to his plot kind

98
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: of falling through and him being in that situation where

99
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: he got killed by the dinosaur, it was almost comedic

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: like that that that was the end of his whole

101
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: full circle, full circle character arc in the movie was

102
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: him being eaten and kill by a dinosaur. But I

103
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: never felt like I wanted to hate this guy. It

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: was just like, this guy just doesn't belong in this movie,

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: and I hit them you hated him. Yeah, he just

106
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: was very like sinister and people were trying to convince

107
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: him that he was in the wrong. The other thing

108
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: I kind of found a little bit more annoying afterward,

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: or even while we were watching the movie is Chris Pratt.

110
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: I thought he did a really good job in the

111
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: first one. I think he's a good action star. I

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: was bored with him. In this one, I was too,

113
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: and it was the whole thing of him, you know,

114
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: his relationship with Blue, which in the first one was

115
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: like the main thing about the entire movie. He trained him,

116
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: he was the only one who could communicate with Blue.

117
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: In this movie, he keeps doing the hand thing of

118
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: like I've seen so many turks making fun of how

119
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: we watched a two and a half hour movie of

120
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: people just putting their hands up at dinosaurs that wouldn't work.

121
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: They have created I think, the most ferocious dinosaurs out

122
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: of all the Jurassic Park movies, and somehow they well

123
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I guess not all of them, but a lot of

124
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: them are able to chill out and be controlled whenever

125
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt puts up his hand Like I didn't buy

126
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: into that. I'm gonna start doing that, Like if we're

127
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: in an argument, I'm just gonna here's the hold my

128
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: hand up, and that's just gonna calm you down. I

129
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: found that part pretty weird. And in a movie where

130
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: a lot of unbelievable things happened, I'm fine with their

131
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: being unbelievable things, but that was just a little bit

132
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: much of like, Okay, he can control all these dinosaurs.

133
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: They were in that other country and they're just like

134
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: being chased by like dinosaurs don't like the cobblestone streets.

135
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: That was a little stupid. The confusing part about this

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: entire movie there's kind of two plots going along at

137
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: the same time. It's the O G Crew trying to

138
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: take down this corporation and then Chris Pratt making a

139
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: deal with a dinosaur to bring back their baby. His

140
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: whole thing of like I made a promise to Blue

141
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: to bring back their baby. It's a dinosaur, Like how

142
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: I get it the smart animal in this movie because

143
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: the dinosaur really understand what you're saying and you're like,

144
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: I promise to bring it back, and yeah, that whole

145
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: part of him making the promise, and then later when

146
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: they are able to bring back the dinosaur, and it's

147
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: like here he is. I would honestly be embarrassed for

148
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: dinosaurs to see, like kind of how the moment species

149
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: we've become now, Like I feel like dinosaurs would like

150
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: if they were really like back, they would just see

151
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: us all walking around with like our heads down on

152
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: our phones, with our iced coffee is like taking a

153
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: hot girl walk, And dinosaurs would because people are really stupid.

154
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: We got taken out by an asteroid for this to exist. Yeah,

155
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry dinosaurs. So yeah, I found that whole part

156
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be again, going back to that

157
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: epic conclusion of him now having this reconnection with Blue

158
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: not being angry at Chris Pratt anymore, that whole moment

159
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: was kind of weak, and the whole idea of them

160
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: being so smart it just doesn't really have any kind

161
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: of connection to the rest of it. And then they

162
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: try to build this whole storyline now with Chris Pratt

163
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: and Bryce Dallas Howard living out in a remote cabin

164
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: away from everything, not trying to be discovered, and raising

165
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: the girl from the previous movie now and giving her

166
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: this whole backstory about her mom using this that was

167
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: a very confusing backstory. We had to throw that one

168
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: in there, like there was already a lot going on,

169
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: and then we threw in that she thought she was

170
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: a replica of someone's DNA, but turns out she was

171
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: there daughter made by herself. And then she used some

172
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: secret serum too, then medically like reverse all of these issues.

173
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: The reason she died now doesn't exist in her Like

174
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: that was like a third plot. I for Yeah, the

175
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: third plot was the daughter was like three acts to

176
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: this movie and then she goes back and they're all like,

177
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: that's her. She is the daughter. She is the one

178
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: we need to study her. And then wanted to keep mind.

179
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to study her to then undo what they've

180
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: done to the locust. Then you get back to the locust.

181
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: All comes back to the locusts. I'm telling you it was.

182
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: It was just a movie about locust plague of locusts.

183
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: So then you have this scientist who has now had

184
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: this kind of I'm going to be a good scientist

185
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: now and I am going to study her, and by

186
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: studying her, I can take this information create this new

187
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: locust that will go to them and force them to

188
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: or I guess change their DNA to go back all populate,

189
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: and it would like kill him off, and then we

190
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't have these evil locusts anymore. And then that scene

191
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: of him taking that locust at the end, releasing it

192
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: into the wild and magically have his and that is

193
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: how the movie ends. I left pretty underwhelmed. I don't

194
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: think I told you this or we realized this, but

195
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: I actually fell asleep during part of the movie. You

196
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: do that. I fell asleep for maybe ten minutes. I

197
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: woke up and nothing was really happening, nothing really changed.

198
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: So that is a sign of a movie not being

199
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: that great that I fall asleep during and I wake

200
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: up and I don't have to be caught up on anything.

201
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: Do you fall asleep bring so many movies? Do? I? Yeah?

202
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: Not in theaters. I thought you were falling asleep during Alvius.

203
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: The other night. I was not falling asleep. Sometimes I

204
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: get into a trance that I'm so zoned in. If

205
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at me from the side, it may look

206
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: like I'm asleep. But I didn't doze off one minute

207
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: during Elvid. That was fully dial into that one. So

208
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: in theaters, if a movie is very boring, I will

209
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: fall asleep at home. It's that's it just like you

210
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: just like kind of like fall over and just like

211
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of the best nap. Though. You wake up

212
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, ah, it felt good. I'd rarely fall

213
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: asleep in theaters. This was probably the first time this

214
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: year that's happened. That happens, and then the entire movie

215
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: is done. No more Jurassic World, and I'm fine with that. Now.

216
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: This movie wasn't for me, probably wasn't even really for you,

217
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: although we did enjoy it. Yeah, again, it wasn't a

218
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: bad movie, but it wasn't what it was cracked up

219
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: to be. And it's not a movie that a movie

220
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: podcast is probably supposed to pick apart like this, because

221
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: you could to find all these inconsist and season all

222
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: these things. But that's what the whole thing about this

223
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: podcast is about. So I still see why it made

224
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I still think that if you're

225
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: a fan of the Jurassic World series that you'll probably

226
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I think this is the only movie that

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: I got called out by by like a really hardcore fan.

228
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: They told me that I don't know the franchise enough

229
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: to say anything bad about it. I mean, I've seen

230
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: every single movie. I feel like I know the franchise

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: pretty well enough. But I also don't think there's that

232
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: much to the franchise. It's dinosaurs running around chasing people,

233
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: and this movie didn't really fit the franchise. It really didn't.

234
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: I'll put that out there for that person to come

235
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: after me. The only thing I felt was my kind

236
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: of ray of hope is that there's some kid now

237
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: that goes to see this movie and it could be

238
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: their favorite. Like, I'll never take that away from a kid, like, yo,

239
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: go watch this movie. Maybe you haven't seen the original ones.

240
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Maybe this one will inspire you to go back and

241
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: watch all those original ones. And your favorite movie has

242
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: always kind of come back to the movies you watched

243
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: as a kid and loved. So maybe some kid went

244
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: to see this movie and twenty years later when they

245
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: reboot this yet again, either they write the story for it,

246
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe they direct it, and it all goes back to

247
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: I remember the time when I watched Jurassic World in theaters,

248
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: and now I'm behind the new one. What does it

249
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: say about me then that my favorite movie says a

250
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: child were like natural disaster, movies like we've talked about

251
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: Twister The Day after Tomorrow. One does the same about

252
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: me that you like to I feel like that's a

253
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: form of escapeism. But I'm such an anxious person and

254
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: I hate bad weather. So why do we watch? Why

255
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: do we love those movies? I think we like to

256
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: watch things, And I mean Twister is one of my

257
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: favorite movies that could happen. We've gotten in the closet before. Yeah,

258
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: and as a kid, I was so terrified of any

259
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: kind of severe weather, But I could sit down and

260
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: watch Twister. I think it's just because I know when

261
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching that movie, I feel totally safe and I

262
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: don't feel like anything's gonna, you know, happen to me

263
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: that's bad. And I also kind of take some from Twister,

264
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and whether it's factional factual or not, I feel like

265
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: if I do the things they did in the movie,

266
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I would be safe. But there's just something about natural

267
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: disaster movies or even Jurassic World movies that you watch

268
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: the man even though you maybe you just put yourself

269
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: in that situation and you feel like I could survive

270
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: that I couldn't. Yeah, if I was an Addressic World movie,

271
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't I got pretty good cardio. Though I feel

272
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: like I could run for a while. You could out

273
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: run the dinosaurs. I don't really know what I would do.

274
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: I feel like you could outsmart them, though I'm not

275
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: good in like high stress scenarios. My brain just kind

276
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: of like shuts off. Okay, then I'll put you on

277
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: my back and I will run. In Twilight, I'll be

278
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: the spider Monkey. Okay. Any other thought, if you had

279
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: on Jurassic World dominion, Laura Dern doesn't age. Jeff Goldblum

280
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: is still funny, funniest part, best part of the entire movie,

281
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: not that it took a lot to be the best

282
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: part of this movie. Did you think the dinosaurs at

283
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: least look cool? I thought they looked pretty cool. Yeah,

284
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs looked cool. It's the first time that they

285
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: use like the feathery dinosaurs, which I guess they're more

286
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: accurate to what they would have looked like from the

287
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: original movies. I do like it when they have the

288
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: real animatronic dinosaurs where they get like the close ups

289
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: of and it's an actual thing, a tangible thing, And

290
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: I think that even gives more of an emotional performance

291
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: from the actors because they can interact with something, it

292
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: feels life like. It's like there's a real dinosaur. They're

293
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: not c g I. But in yeah, in this movie

294
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: and all the latest movies, they look cooler, they look

295
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: more vicious, they can do more with the action, but

296
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: it feels all fake. And I think in this one, especially,

297
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: it takes away from that. Any kind of real nous

298
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: I feel like they're acting gets taken back a little

299
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: bit because it feels like they're just looking at nothing

300
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: and reacting to nothing. So I almost would have wished

301
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: for a movie like this that is supposed to be

302
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of a throwback to the original one, they would

303
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: have brought back a little bit of that, especially when

304
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: it comes to like the t r X, which is

305
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: so iconic from the first one, or just all the

306
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: other dinosaurs that they had like close ups with on

307
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: the on the first one that made it so special,

308
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: made it so magical. I think they should have brought

309
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: some of that back. But again, it is what it is,

310
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: and movie is out. There will be no follow up

311
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: to it, And yeah, I think I'm okay with that.

312
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: Go see it. It's good. It's a great listen. Even

313
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: if a movie is terrible in the summer. It's a

314
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: reprieve from the heat. Like that's also one of the

315
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: great things about like a summer movie. As you go

316
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: get your cold drink, you get your snacks, and you

317
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: just sit there in the air conditioning for like two hours. Yeah,

318
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: And as we've seen from the last movies we've gone

319
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: to see in theaters, movie theaters are back like they've

320
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: been packed the last time we went. And I would

321
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: say on the ranking scale of the three biggest movies

322
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: out right now, I would put Top Guns still at

323
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: one to go see in theaters. Then I would put

324
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: Elvis at number two. I would put light Year at

325
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: number three, just because I think that's a good movie.

326
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's so much a kid's movie still,

327
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: but I feel like I would pick that one over

328
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: a Jurassic World to go see right now. I enjoyed

329
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: light Year more I did too. I just think that

330
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: people were expecting a toy story movie and it's not

331
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: that at all. So but that would be my top

332
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: three to go see right now in theaters, I would agree.

333
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: So that has been the spoiler episode of Jurassic World Dominion.

334
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: That is the episode for this week. Next week, I

335
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: will have the creator of lee Loo and Stitch, who

336
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: is also the voice of Stitch. His name is Chris Sanders.

337
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: So if you're a fan of Leelo and Stitch like

338
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: I am, which is my favorite Disney movie, or if

339
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: you're just a fan of Disney in general, I think

Speaker 1: you'll really enjoy this episode. And it's a longer form interview,

341
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: which I don't do a whole lot in this podcast,

342
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: but I think is one of my favorite things I've

343
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: ever done, and kind of the whole reason I started

344
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: this podcast was to do things like this. So come

345
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: back for that next week. Anything else you'd like to say, Kelseye, No,

346

Speaker 1: just on vacation mode. Vacation. You know that when this

348
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,920
