Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. I believe the adjective to describe this week's guest is delightful, charming, also applies, talented, of course. He is Jeff Goldblum. He is just so much fun to be around because you just don't know what's

first Jurassic Park movie. Today, you say? Today, June 9th. Is that true? 29 years ago, in D.C.

It was in D.C., the very first premiere. And then it came out a couple of days later.

I must have been there. Laura Dern, the great Oscar-winning Laura Dern, reminded me, because we've been doing some of these in cahoots.

She reminded me the other day that, oh, yes, we were in Washington, D.C. But I didn't know until you just said it. That was the first one, really? That was the first premiere.

That was the day. Does that feel like a lifetime ago? Does that feel like yesterday? What's your

sort of perspective on this Jurassic run? As I sit here right now, a long time, I mean, my standard
