| 0:07.0 | The In 1990, Michael Crichton wrote a novel about an eccentric billionaire called John Hammond, |
| 0:34.1 | who used genetic engineering to bring dinosaurs back to life. |
| 0:43.0 | The story immediately caught the attention of all of the major Hollywood film studios, |
| 0:47.9 | but it was Universal and director Stephen Spielberg, who secured the rights to adapt it into a movie. |
| 0:57.0 | Spielberg aimed to recapture the magic, spectacle and horror of the films that he loved growing up, |
| 1:06.0 | from King Kong to the movies of Ray Harryhausen and used revolutionary practical and visual effects to make |
| 1:13.3 | dinosaurs look real and alive for the first time. |
| 1:23.9 | Jurassic Park, perhaps ironically as a cautionary tale against greed and consumerism, would go on to create one of the most lucrative and financially successful franchises of all time, spawning several sequels, endless merchandise, and even theme parks.

| 2:42.7 | If there is anyone out there who hasn't seen Jurassic Park, I would be amazed. But if you haven't |
| 2:48.7 | seen it, give it a watch. Even if you have seen it, give it a rewatch before you listen to our discussion because |
| 2:55.2 | it's still an absolute banger. |
| 2:57.9 | So I was joined by a friend of the pod, content creator and co-host and co-founder of |
