Most people volunteer to come onto the podcast to defend a favorite movie, but this time, I recruited my friend Ash Orr to join me when they sent me a voice memo informing me that their hot take was that "Jurassic World: Dominion" was good, actually. The film is still in its early days, but as of recording, it has a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ash is a political organizer working to make Appalachia a better place for everyone who lives here. In this episode, we talk about memories of watching the original Jurassic Park movie, about the place of childhood existential dread in a dinosaur movie, and about whether dinosaurs as guns are better than talking dinosaurs.
