Episode 29 - Big Rex

 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. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 29 - Big Rex

In this episode, my terrific guest Justin Kiley returns to chat with me about:

How long after Jurassic Park in 1993, elements of the novel continue to reappear in subsequent films in the franchise! How much of Jurssic Park: The Lost World is from Crichton's 1990 novel? How about Jurassic Park III? Lots!

Yeah, but how about the Jurassic World installments, what parts of the novel is still in there? Turns out, ... well, not as much, but some! Some of it is still founded in Crichton's seminal text! Check it out!

This week’s text is Big Rex, spanning from pages 144-149. 

Synopsis:

They arrive at the tyrannosaur paddock, and the “shy and sensitive” Big rex is baited with a goat. 

Discussions surround:

The Dinosaurs, Dinosaur bites, Timeline, Feminism, Power is Magic, Believe me! I know!, and Crichton Tropes.

Corrections:

LAW stands for Light Anti-tank Weapons (not laser-assisted weapons). Sorry.

Side effects: 

May cause you to conflate your memory of a ceratosaurus and carnotaurus together, into one big mistake.
