Comfort Films 42: Jurassic Park

Comfort Films 42: Jurassic Park

For the next entry in our summer series, we have the great fortune to be joined by the awesome Claire White from the (equally awesome) Why the Flick? podcast to discuss her favorite comfort film, Jurassic Park!  We talk Spielberg, special effects, the ethics of cloning, and of course anything and everything dinosaur-related.  We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could, that we didn't stop to think if we should, but then we did anyway, and it turned out good.  Get your hands out of that triceratops dung and give it a listen!
