As two passionate high school English/film/philosophy/creativity teachers with graduate degrees, we're dedicated to using our academic training to argue about and dig deeply into movies. We explore the creativity and philosophy in our films and push our listeners to think critically about their entertainment.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-26T20:19:57.206759+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-desert-of-the-reel-a-movie-podcast-6745471"},"episode":{"title":"Jurassic Park (1993) Desert of the Reel #121","slug":"jurassic-park-1993-desert-of-the-reel-121","published_at":"2026-05-21T03:22:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-desert-of-the-reel-a-movie-podcast-6745471/jurassic-park-1993-desert-of-the-reel-121","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-desert-of-the-reel-a-movie-podcast-6745471","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desert-of-the-reel/episodes/Jurassic-Park-1993-Desert-of-the-Reel-121-e3jm6m3","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/ef374714/podcast/play/120313987/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-21%2F424588094-44100-2-27580b0c56a79.m4a","summary":"Welcome to Jurassic Park! 1993's Jurassic Park is a pivotal movie in regard to blockbusters, special effects, and dinosaurs.
