Logan and Ali are back to review Logan's all time favorite movie, the 1993 dino-classic, JURASSIC PARK! We dive deep into what makes this movie so special, from its multiple readings of the film as both an action-horror summer blockbuster, to an incredibly clever commentary on gendered politics in the modern world, Jurassic Park has truly stood the test of time. Whether its the incredible practical and CGI effects, or the tight script that wraps up all loose ends, this film may be even more layered than you think.
