  • Episode 75: Let’s Hunt Man!

    chapters 40-46”


    Ian Malcolm’s morphine induced political philosophizing send the Readers into a maudlin existential tailspin! But that doesn’t stop them from raising such hard hitting questions as:

    How many moments from this book were cut from the movie only to end up in the sequels?
    Is Ian Malcolm British?
    How do we know Velociraptors we’re nocturnal?
    Do T-Rexs want to be fed or do they want to hunt?

    All these and more are answered... and if they’re not answered they’re addressed... and if they’re not addressed they’re completely sidetracked and might come up later... on THIS episode of Death Readers!

  • Episode 73: Control

    Chapters 20-29

    The Readers discuss Jurassic Park’s overarching themes of chaos and control. What exactly is Lysine and what does it do? Why do the characters refer to the dinosaurs with masculine pronouns when we know the dinosaurs are female?

  • Episode 72: God I Hope That’s Not The Episode Title

    Welcome... To Jurassic Park!

    Will Dr Grant learn to read Raptor signals?

    Did Ian Malcolm do a Jeff Goldblum impression?!

About Death Readers

From the publisher's feed

Doug had never read the Harry Potter books. Robb has read them many times. Together they went through the books to see if the magic was still there.
