Summary
Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom (2018) made over $1 BILLION! !! In this episode, Ryan and Jason try to figure out how a film so ludicrous and disjointed became one of the 63 films in the history of the world to make over $1 BILLION!!! While there's not a ton in this episode about the film itself, we deep dive into Jean Baudrillard's concept of the hyperreal replacing reality, as well as Ryan's two wolves (the one that wants more of the thing that he loves and the one that doesn't want crappy movies to be made out of the thing that he loves). We also spend some time catching up (it's been two weeks since we've hung out!). If you enjoy discussion that's tangentially related to a terrible film that somehow made $1 BILLION!!!, enjoy!
