When I was 5 years old, a movie came out that would change me forever. I'm talking about Jurassic Park and in celebrating it's 30th anniversary, Tara and I went to see the special edition in 3D. Then after looking at where this series started we look at where it ended with Jurassic World Dominion and where it went all wrong. Then as a palette cleanser, we watch 65 and see the "inspirations" it takes from Jurassic Park. If you are into dinosaurs, this is the episode for you.

The Last of Us Season 1 on HBO Max has come to a close and we go deep into why this is a must watch for so many reasons. From the acting and direction to visual effects and even the music, everything in this show has proven that it is worthy of its source material.
