Adele’s chats with special guest, Dr Travis Holland about Jurassic Park! 

We talk about the film 30 years on, how it changed the public perception of dinosaurs, especially theropods like Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor and Dilophosaurus (for better or worse), and how JP made terrible lizards into movie monsters. 

 Plus the secret ingredient to good science fiction, Spielberg and Crichton's representation of women, and sciencey stuff including blood-filled mosquitoes in amber, the complexity of cloning,  de-extinction of the Pyrenean ibex, and the whethe or not T rex had a toothy grin or luscious lips.
