Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) (with Chris Moroz, Matthew Nicholson, and Maxim Gertler-Jaffe)

ANOTHER EMERGENCY FRANCHISE UPDATE: they went and made another Jurassic movie. Hooray! Alex and Ben were dreading this one but to their surprise, this new entry is actually not completely terrible... and isn't that the best we can hope for these days?

We're joined by Ben's friends and creators of the classic high school YouTube Jurassic Park parody video Cretaceous Park: returning guests Matthew Nicholson and Maxim Gertler-Jaffe, and a first time guest long-time listener Chris Moroz.

We talk about some other movies we've seen recently such as EDDINGTON, Caveh Zahedi's THE SHOW ABOUT THE SHOW, MOONAGE DAYDREAM, SPEED, SPECIES, THE PIANO TEACHER and more. We also talk about corporate franchise synergy, Fortnite collaborations, and the mess that is STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.

We'll be back next week with the new NAKED GUN film!
