Growing up in the nineteen nineties in the UK, you couldn't move for massive cultural moments. The Spice Girls, New Labour, the Power Rangers, Oasis vs. Blur, and Hugh Grant. For me and many people my age, I'm 38 this year, one moment I'm sure stood above all others. The release of Jurassic Park in 1993. Never had something captured my imagination so quickly and so strongly. Its hold has never left me. I first watched it on VHS until grain appeared on the image. I made short plaster scene animations and films with my friends where no dinosaurs were seen, just a hope that our sheer acting talent would be enough. My dad got me a collection of dinosaur documentaries presented by Walter Cronkite, no less, on VHS. I was a confirmed dinosaur nut. Through college and university, I kept on top of all the latest, maddening and conflicting reports about the mythical fourth film. And in recent years I've seen the series become a billion-dollar behemoth. Ten years ago, I set up a YouTube channel called The Five Minute Film Club, where I've slowly, very slowly I might add, been going through and reviewing the 501 must-see movies from a book I got for my 21st. But when Jurassic World Rebirth, directed by one of my favourite directors, Gareth Edwards, and scripted by OG Jurassic Park, and the Lost World screenwriter David Kepp was announced to be released this summer, I knew I had to do more. And I had to invite some people along for the ride. Over the next 12 weeks, I will be sitting down with a guest to discuss an entry or aspect of the Jurassic franchise in order to get fully prepared and fully hyped for the new film. And I'm inviting you to join me on the road to rebirth.
