Life, uh, finds a way in Jurassic Park

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get invited to an exotic island theme park, where an eccentric billionaire has decided to play God, and clone Dinosaurs!

With our boy Fil's big 30th coming up later this year, we're going to begin a new arc that will be with us off and on throughout the year of 2023, called FILAVERSARY. In this arc, we'll be exploring some of our favourite films from the year 1993. And, what better way to start off, than with the biggest film of 1993?

Of course, we're talking about Steven Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK. Adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, this sci-fi adventure classic is one of the all-time greats. In this episode, 65 million and 30 years in the making, we're going to break down all the innovations, from Stan Winston's creature design, to Phil Tippett's scrapped go motion, and the groundbreaking CGI techniques from ILM that forever changed cinema. Leave it to Spielberg, the man who invented the blockbuster, to find a way to reinvent it...

“Life, uh, finds a way.”
