Welcome to CrichtonCast, the second episode in our Michael Crichton spinoff podcast exclusive to The Barrens. In this installment, we discuss Sphere, Crichton's sixth novel under his own name that was published in 1987.

Host Randall Colburn is joined by Loser Justin Gerber for a sweeping conversation about Michael Crichton's Sphere, a sci-fi page-turner that not only came out the same year as Stephen King's The Tommyknockers, but shares a shockingly similar premise. The boys discuss the King parallels, as well as the book's obsession with the inexplicable, the author's interest in human frailty, and the film adaptation's disappointing lack of a giant squid.

Next up? Jurassic Park.

Sphere I feel like has to be an influence on three body problem, there’s so much in it that resembles sphere and the alien

This was a terrific episode! Made me want to reread the novel, which I haven't read in about thirty years. Loved it back then, though!

Excellent episode! I went to see the movie on opening night and in the line I saw my tall, strong jawed, energetic and inspiring science teacher; a one in a million kind of person a one in 70 kind of teacher. He didn't think the movie worked out, but I sure did. I fell asleep in class one day and woke me by slapping my desk very hard. Anyway really great show, I'll be rereading the book next month because of it.
