Just when we thought we was out, they pull us back in. To talk about Michael Crichton movies!

Ever heard of Jurassic Park? Michael Crichton’s greatest adaptation! Well get ready for another adaptation that’s not Congo, Sphere. A movie about aliens and time travel and Sphere’s and nightmares.

By popular demand we've been forced into covering Uncharted 2021, an adaptation of some of the Naughty Dog video game series. Not the good one (The Last Of Us on HBO) but Uncharted 2021, a movie that mostly covers some of the ground seen in parts 3 and 4.
