We delve into the real-life events that inspired the film's opening scene, the interactions between the adult family members, South Korea's cultural portrayal of grieving, the unique creature design, the food portrayed in the film, how the South Korean & American governments are depicted, the film's surprising light-hearted moments, the effectiveness of the CGI used in the film, & so much more!
Also discussed: Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025), having tamales for Christmas, table-side guac, baseline foods used when trying a new restaurant, the absurdity of 1991's 'Nothing But Trouble' (outtakes), & so much more!
