Jurassic Park with Sean Fennessey

By Blank Check with Griffin & David

12:00 AM EDT on April 13, 2025

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg makes 1993’s Jurassic Park and changes movie history. The Big Picture’s Sean Fennessey joins us to talk about this totemic blockbuster, and we’re spending three hours talking about the bad boys of the Jurassic era (velociraptors), the bad boys of ILM (Steve ‘Spaz’ Williams and Mark Dippe), and the bad boy of movie scientists (Dr. Ian Malcolm).Note: this episode was recorded last fall, so some of the takes you’ll hear are a bit…frozen in amber.
