Nature Finds a Way: Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park

This week Ibrahim & I close out the month with a fan favorite, a ground-breaking special effects extravaganza, the emergence of a new cinematic tool, and a hint at the cinematic world to come. This week we close out our look at blockbusters bookending Steven Spielberg's 1975 Jaws with his 1993 look at Jaws on land - Jurassic Park. This was a fun time looking back on a classic and examining how it changed the face of filmmaking. There's a whole lot to cover here - Mr. Chavez's fascination with the film, its role in Spielberg's filmography, the relationship to Jaws, and the ushering in of CGI as a mainstay of filmmaking. We discuss all of this as well as the performances of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Sir Richard Attenborough, Wayne Kramer, Samuel L. Jackson, and - of course - Jeff Goldblum. It's a fun talk. Take a listen. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.
