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.

• weaponry
• animals 
• character designs
• localities
• plot points

As well as things Jurassic Park shouldn't clone, inspiration from the Kenner toy line, rumours about killing the tyrannosaurus, knowing all about guns, the velociraptors, exploring the game map, Chuck Rock, impressing your friends with high scores, licensing rereleases of vintage games, not liking Jeff Goldblum?!, and much more!

Plus dinosaur news about:

The Text:

This week’s text is The Road, spanning from pages 220 – 227.

Synopsis:

Muldoon and Gennaro speed out to retrieve the tourists out in the park, but reach the grim realization that the tyrannosaur has attacked the Land Cruisers, dismembering Ed Regis and mortally wounding Dr. Ian Malcolm. They must return to the visitor area immediately or else Malcolm will surely die – but there’s hope that Grant and the kids are alive and hiding in the park, where the motion sensors will surely spot them in no time. 

Discussions surround:

Contrivances in plot; Park Management; Similarities and Differences with the film; and Island Layout;
