503: The Lost World Jurassic Park
Summary
Hosts Jocelyn Getty and Kat Angus discuss The Lost World: Jurassic Park, arguing it fails to capture the original’s tension and ethical depth. They critique the shift to Jeff Goldblum as the lead and Julianne Moore’s character, who undermines the film’s message by causing unnecessary deaths. The episode explores how Spielberg’s departure from his usual style after Schindler’s List resulted in a sequel that feels like a hollow cash grab. Ultimately, they advise skipping the film in favor of Jurassic Park 3, which they find more entertaining despite its flaws.
