“It’s bigger and it’s stupider!” - Steve on this vs. Jurassic Park
On this WHM Prime bonus episode, the gang gets Dino Fever with the first of two JPU films being discussed this month*: Jurassic World! Was that statue of John Hammond actually his corpse mummified under flash-baked dino poo? Did Claire and Owen have their first date on that cursed island? And why didn't BD Wong get a bigger role as the villain? PLUS: Militarized dinosaurs—Question Mark?
Jurassic World stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, BD Wong, Judy Greer and Lauren Lapkus as Vivian; directed by Colin Trevorrow.
*EDITOR’S NOTE: In 2018, the other JPU film was Jurassic Park III, discussed on We Hate Movies, Episode #363

2024-08-21 15:56:00 +0000 UTCI saw "Saving Private Ryan" at the Zeigfeld. The opening was like a religious experience.

2024-08-15 21:47:44 +0000 UTCI think Steve has a point. Remember when Colin Treverrow compared one of the Raptors to the Joker?

2024-08-15 21:35:05 +0000 UTCIt’s amazing that sometimes when riffing you predict a little bit of the future. I laughed so hard when they all went into bringing back non-characters. “Why not bring back Dodgson?! He survived! They…will…care.” Be careful what you wish for, they did exactly that in the atrocious third “world” movie! Outrageous!

2024-08-15 13:06:52 +0000 UTCOn the did people eat dinos yet...I've been saying this for 3 movies now! I totally want a eat them before they eat us sequel that would be the true result of all this nonsense. One dino can feed a town

2024-08-14 07:10:47 +0000 UTCSummer’s almost over. It’s nearly time for the WHM boys to go back to school (which means new eps for us).

2024-08-14 06:11:54 +0000 UTCI love this one. RIP Zara, you were a childfree queen who deserved better than that horrible, if hilarious, death. Right after relistening I had to go back to the episode for the following movie (Failin' Kingdumb!), which contains one of my fave-ever Steve moments: "So this basement is filling with what we're told is hydrogen cyanide--" "GOOD!!!!!!!"
Rose Esposito
2024-08-14 01:40:56 +0000 UTCThe origin of Steve’s sequel legislation!

2024-08-14 01:40:55 +0000 UTCStatements that aged poorly: * JJ Abrams might make a good final Star Wars movie (which even upfront they’re all like “oof mistake”) * Calling 2018 a hellscape. Oh boys you have no idea what's coming * A dinosaur human hybrid being a potentially good movie. Then Fallen Kingdom came along. Though admittedly an actual half human half dinosaur could be something. Statements that aged surprisingly well: * Comparing Armie Hammer to a T-Rex

2024-08-13 22:18:47 +0000 UTCMe no longer drinking Dr. Pepper even tho it used to be my fav listening to this ep: “now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…”

2024-08-13 20:25:12 +0000 UTCHaven’t listened to this since it came out but idk how y’all predicted the plots of mcu Spider-Man homecoming and far from home. Y’all too good at this. (I don’t remember what episode you brought up holograms and Spider-Man but that ended up being the plot to far from home, and then here saying iron man being in Spider-Man 6 so much) This is also fun for your Star Wars talk when I know how that went. Fun stuff.

2024-08-13 18:56:31 +0000 UTCMan this is a movie that gets worse and worse in my mind with each year since it came out. As a massive stan of the book and the first movie I think the only way you can do a movie like this is by making it so that the park has become more like Westworld, a place of futuristic exploitation where the park's "assets" have to be increasingly farmed for more profit. I think that because these movies are now implicitly ads for Universal theme parks they CAN'T depict the park in a negative light or take any kind of serious stance beyond Clair's Save The Whales crap in the last two. That's why JW itself seems like a happy place packed with guests who love dinosaurs even though we're supposed to believe none of them care anymore.

2024-08-13 18:42:58 +0000 UTCBlue should get a restraining order against Chris Pratt. Dude is way too handsy.

2024-08-13 17:45:37 +0000 UTCI know this isn't the episode, but I still think of "Bend-overs" regularly
Max Jackson
2024-08-13 17:24:28 +0000 UTCit's so funny because I'm going through old episodes and I'm in the 2018's right now and purposely skipped this episode. the universe works in mysterious ways
Ke'Tryn Smith
2024-08-13 16:36:07 +0000 UTCThis episode is like a time capsule into an almost unrecognizable, more hopeful time. Pre pandemic, and more importantly, pre JJ Abrams crashing and burning the Star Wars movie franchise

2024-08-13 14:30:59 +0000 UTCThis episode could have just been Steve rapping dinosaur-related lyrics over the rest of you beatboxing, and it would still be better than the movie. Although it IS hilarious when the park owner eats shit.
Mark Ibarra
2024-08-13 13:38:23 +0000 UTCThe Squid Game writers definitely listened to this episode when it first came out.

2024-08-13 13:04:07 +0000 UTCEric pulls out a huge boom box. Turns on "Long Tall Sally". Places a massive wad of chew in his mouth and stares down Andrew, Chris, and Steve: "This stuff will make you a god damned sexual szyszkasaurus, just like me!"

2024-08-13 12:59:31 +0000 UTCThis is the episode when Steve introduces his movie sequel law!

2024-08-13 11:55:47 +0000 UTCI was just listening to old eps the other day! The 'A New Hope' episode is a HoF piece of comedy in my opinion. I was looking forward to diving into more oldies when this dropped. Feeling nostalgic with my oldest daughter starting 3rd grade next week. I used to listen to you guys when she was a newborn and I would take her for walks in her stroller just to stay awake. Thanks for the years of amazing content.
