Great discussion! Soooooooo good I split it into two parts! In Part 1 we start retro!

It's hard for me to think of 1993 as retro. But yes that is where we are going, Jurassic Park. Honestly, what a movie! It was how you say DINO -might!. Dinosaurs brought to life on the big screen in ways that had not been done previously. Not only was the movie good (the book too btw), I think it was pretty accurate to what we understood at the time. We will find out in a moment but I suspect it was like Dante’s peak which definitely had some problems but the most accurate volcano disaster movie made for hollywood?

So Today we are going to explore what we knew when Jurassic Park was created and how it has changed since! We will also talk a lot more about an evolutionary cousin to the famed T-rex the And again I have brought in a guest to get it done! Great discussion! soo good I split it into two parts!
