On this month's WLM, the guys are chatting about one of the all-time great Steve Spielberg classics, Jurassic Park! How out-of-this-world excellent is this John Williams score? Does it get any better than Goldblum and that open shirt? And would it have killed them to make it just the slightest bit bloodier? PLUS: What are some of the worst jobs at the park? Raptor gatekeeper has to be right up there, right? 

Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Martin Ferrero, BD Wong, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Samuel L. Jackson, Miguel Sandoval, Wayne Knight, and Bob Peck as Muldoon; directed by Steven Spielberg.

Fun fact Spielberg was also doing script passes on Animaniacs while filming Schindlers List…

I saw this in cinema 3 times when I was a kid. One time I can remember vividly as my babysitter had took us to the town centre cinema and this was a tiny two screen place with barely 50 seats in one theater, we were in the front row about 8 feet from the screen and I always remember how much I had to turn my head to take in everything going on up in front of me. That day at nine years old cemented that when I go to a cinema I sit in the back row where I can see everything without issue.

Kureigu

The bit about feeding the rapters with the harness was new after the accident at the start from what I gathered. Muldoon implys they have proven too dangerous to do anything else.

William K. Wolfrum

I saw Raiders in a theater at the right time. Always my fave.

Jessica

As a kid our family went to see this at the drive-in such a memorable event and we even had a ford explorer at the time! 😆

Watch_N_Rewatch

Holy shit I cannot wait to listen to this ep love you guys

WarOfTheBees

Point of contention about Jurassic Park. Haven't listened to the episode yet, maybe they cover this: At dinner, John Hammond serves the guests Chilean Sea Bass. Which is great, don't get me wrong. But John...you make dinosaurs, at a dinosaur park you own, with absolutely no oversight. Why aren't you feeding these people dinosaur meat? You're gonna tell me no one "accidentally" killed a Brachiosaurus or something?

Knit Wit

Can't wait to geek out over my favorite film of all time!!

Alex Miraski

Thank you so much for dropping this today. My day needed this. You guys are the best.

Charlie Stanard

Been hoping you guys would do this one for a long time. Dreams do come true

Frank Grimes

This is my child hood. The sense of awe when they first reveal the dinosaurs...I legit thought they might be real

Hercules

holy crap, i've been having a bad time and this feels like a much-needed treat. thanks so much, fellas <3

Mark D Myers

Reviewing Jurassic World 3 to compete the series? You gotta do it.

Frank Grimes

would you wanna eat dino meat though? Genetically modified dino meat at that

WarOfTheBees

I'd try it, at least. I'm like Noah only instead of saving two of every animal, I want to eat two of every animal.

Frank Grimes

I imagine it might taste like crocodile or maybe frog but meatier

Hell yeah. Quick story: AMC was incentivizing movie goers in late 2020 by playing classics in their theaters - one of which being Jurassic Park. So I go and it's literally just me and like four people in the theater spread about, masked up. It gets to the water rumbling/T Rex attacks sequence and although I've seen this movie many times, I could not believe how fucking perfectly executed that several minutes of cinema history is. The awesomely designed, stalled Jeeps, the deceptively gentle lull of rain, the vibration of the water, the cast slowly realizing T Rex's approach, my man bailing on the kids, T Rex busting the glass on to the kids, the crushing of car in mud, distracting Rex and saving kids, the rappel and avoidance of discarded Jeep, etc It was so thrilling and expertly crafted that my 32 year old ass was crying at this action scene and the mastery on display. Tears ran down my cheek and absorbed in to my mask. G'bless Spielberg!

TwoWeeksGuy

Hammond twists an ankle or something and Compys slowly eat him at the end of the book.

Elizabeth Lake

I was also around 9 when this movie came out and it blew my mind as well. Also waited in line for HOURS at Universal in Hollywood for the ride. This was a fantastic WLM episode, because it’s such a universally enjoyed film. Cheers fellas!

Christopher Schuber

This is an all-timer WLM, I'll be listening to this one a few times

Mike Miller

The car wash pervert strikes again

Erin Hardy

This is legit the worst week of my life, but this gave me a 2.5 hour respite. Thank you. I didn't get this until someone else pointed it out years after the fact, but Grant tying two female ends of his seat belt wasn't him being stupid. It was foreshadowing both Hammond's willingness to cut corners and life, uh... finding a way, even though the dinos shouldn't have been able to breed on their own.

Josan

I was gonna write about that, because I know the WHM gang love when we correct em :P, it is pretty awesome foreshadowing. The whole movie is so good also because its constantly resonating on its themes through the script

Knut Farstad

You know, Richard Attenborough directed the film "Gandhi", with Ben Kingsley. Just a fun fact ... and though its glamourization of that terrible man is disgusting, Kingsley truly delivers.

Erin Hardy

I know, but I'm honestly not trying to be an asshole about it. I was amazed when it was pointed out because it's a brilliant little detail that 100% seemed like a throwaway to 10-year-old Me (who also took that cut from Nedry pressing a key to Gennaro wincing at thunder to mean that Nedry was somehow controlling the storm with that computer 😆🤦🏾‍♀️.)

Sarah Nichols

Hi! Real archaeologist here. Please for gods sake learn the difference between paleontologist and archaeologists. Also, for the record, the operation that Grant seems to be having in the badlands is along the lines of a field school so it is incredibly plausible and in fact normal to have children on site. That is all. Continue on

Anne Hartner

I must admit, I had read the book before seeing it in the theaters, and left the movie an insufferable bitter, "the book did it better" person - BUT, to be fair - it did. Why did Speilberg take the hacker abilities from the girl and give it to the boy? Why was Hammond allowed to live for his crimes? I've warmed to it since then, but still...

Jason

Only half way in the podcast, but I do miss Eric's almost certain questions about how many of the Jurassic Park employees are banging the dinosaurs. It wasn't the Frog DNA that was changing the dinosaurs, it was a good old human loadasaurus.

Leesha Olivier

This is my favorite Spielberg movie. It was so brilliant in theaters--just a spectacle.

Sonya Ballantyne

I grew up on an Indian reservation and I was obsessed with this movie and wore out VHS tapes watching it on the crappy TV I used for video games. I did not see movies in the theatre regularly until I was 18 and used to lie to myself that it was just as good seeing Jurassic Park on my crap TV. I finally got to see JP in a theatre for its anniversary and I was bawling at the end because it was so loud when the t-rex roared, it shook the walls and I was like, "I WAS WRONG, IT IS WAY BETTER HERE" I love movies <3

Paul

Andrew mentioned “RRR” in this episode (1:42:34). Guess who’s in “RRR”: Alison Doody. I shit you not.

Tom Day

That's crazy haha

Lauren Dixon

Have been waiting for this one for years!! Can’t wait to hear the inevitable whm on the new one!

MANTE IV

Got nearly an hour into this before realizing there's no Eric! Returning the uneaten portion for a full refund!

Eren Keskin

Birds evolved from a group of meat-eating dinosaurs called theropods. That's the same group that Tyrannosaurus rex belonged to, so they probably tasted like chicken. Put some sriracha on that, and you're ready to go

Tristan

2021 WHM fans "can we get Jurassic Park 1?" WHM 2021: “Ah Ah Ah You didn’t say the magic word!”

Frank Grimes

Am I in the minority that thought grant and ellie weren't romantic? He always felt big brotherly. Even when malcolm was asking about her status. I always saw it as him cockblocking more so as a bro cause he didn't like malcolm at first

John Harrison

I had listened to the abridged audio book before seeing the film, so I firmly had it in my head that they were not romantic (Grant is Ellie's advisor at the university of Denver) and he is portrayed as much older than her.

Blake Jordan

I think thr point of the seat belt scene on the helicopter is that Hammond is so cheap that his helicopters have shitty seat belts. At Lear that's my interpretation.

The Great Wheel

They clone the plants from the era because animals tend to have teeth made for eating only one thing and plants were EXTREMELY different in the time of the dinosaurs. Grass didn't evolve until 10 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct.

Peter Reynoso

Saw it stoned to the bone opening weekend with a friend who has since crossed the rainbow bridge. Spielberg was always a thing. Since the TV movie duel he garnered attention as a talented director.

Busiris

It's now been almost a week and I am still laughing at Andrew's name-confusion - Jennifer Poopy. I've embarrassed myself by laughing at it in public.

Craig

It’s so subtle very few people would pick it up without it being pointed out (I certainly didn’t!)

Otelia Finnen

Is Gandhi the terrible man? Why?

Otelia Finnen

Joseph Mazzello had a memorable recurring role on Person of Interest, which is one of the all-time underrated TV shows IMO.

Knut Farstad

Millions of Muslims died when they were driven out from under the Indian theocracy into Pakistan.

Knut Farstad

He was also in other ways a terrible racist.

Knut Farstad

Read some Christopher Hitchens. He also wrote a book detailing the horrible cult of Mother Theresa.

Andrew Stricker

I remember seeing this at a movie at the park night and I was just floored seeing it with a crowd and hearing and seeing everyone’s reaction. It gave me goosebumps watching the TRex scene. I also remember laughing really hard because I went with a friend who had never seen it before and they jumped out of their seat when the raptor busts through the pipes. Just such a fucking wonderful experience. What a movie.

Jan

such a genius movie that has worse sequels than the Jaws franchise.

Matt

I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid. The T -Rex scene scares the shit out of me.

likeshine

There were lots of puppets in fallen kingdom btw! None in Jurassic world though.

chris pike

Way back in the day I got to spend a few hours with Wayne Knight generating some promo elements and he was brilliant.

Smaug

I just rewatched this tonight and noticed for the first time the Costa Rican cab driver who has to get out and come around the side of the car to shut the passenger door after Dodgson gets out and walks off without closing it or tipping. He gives this great shoulder gesture and chin jut, like "God damn it, come close this goddamned car door or at least toss me a few bucks. Fuck you."

Mr. Buck Dancer

Totes agree on the killing Dinos. In the book, Muldoon cuts a raptor in half with a rocket launcher.
