"Mommy's very angry"
This week on the show, Curtis and John are joined by recurring guest Grant to discuss a rare Steven Spielberg sequel film, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK. A rare case of a film based on a book all of us have read, we talk a bit about the Crichton source material and talk the 'Pet Sounds / Sgt Peppers' phenomenon going on with the novels and films. We then discuss the film's action adventure vibe, and Spielberg's penchant for mixing the sentimental and sinister.
Before that we go over some news items, new releases, and what we watched this week.
Next episode, our resident Cassavetes Guru John Bruni will return to discuss MINNIE AND MOSKOWITZ.
