Episode 28 - Control

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.

In this episode, my terrific guest Dan Rose joins to us chat with me about:

The story of the velociraptors in the seminal dinosaur film Jurassic Park (1993) by Steven Spielberg, post-production duties, Sinking Ship Entertainment, foley artists, Dennis  Nedry's death scene, dilophosaurus attacks, the specific moment when Jurassic Park goes from fun-loving to Friday the 13th, the Dino Dana Movie, working with dinosaurs, Robert Muldoon, the Big One, the raptors in Jurassic Park, the film raptors v. the book raptors, all the raptor scenes from the movie, a little bit of Girl Power, gender bending velociraptors, and way more! 

Intro: Grow Old or Don't.  Outro: Centipede.

The Text:

This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 138 - 143.

Synopsis:

Arnold and  Hammond quarrel over the difficulties the park must overcome to have Jurassic Park ready for its grand opening, because they have all the problems of a major theme park, all the problems of a major zoo, and the added difficulties of caring for animals nobody’s ever observed before. It’s revealed that Dennis Nedry is here to fix the bugs in the system this weekend. On the tour, the guests visit the venomous dilophosaurus

Discussions surround:

Tension, Contrivances in the plot, Timeline, The Dinosaurs, Voice Acting, Park Management, Errors, and the Island's Layout.

Side effects: 

May cause you to have trouble removing venomous sacs from anesthetized dilophosauruses.
