In Episode 80, Gen and Jette take on another book to film comparison with one of our all time favourites\u2014Jurassic Park! It was so much fun to discuss the book alongside the beloved film.
\n
\nWe talk about the tone differences between the book and the movie, which characters were more or less likeable, the incredible special effects in the film, John Williams' iconic score, and so much more!
\n
\nShow Notes:
\nJette has a soft spot for Roberta the T-Rex.
\nWe were impressed by how well the science holds up in both the book and the film, thirty years later. And those special effects? We've seen worse CGI in much more recent films.
\nKeep an eye out for more Book to Screen episodes. We've got The Martian on our radar.
