This week, on Sexism in Survival Situations:
We are joined by our inaugural guest, the hilarious Scott Erickson to discuss a fake movie about a billionaire who uses his money to pursue his selfish goals. Not really a thing that happens IRL. We’ll dive into the real questions: What ice cream does Joe spare no expense on? Should Neapolitan ice cream be equally chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry? How has Jeff Goldblum somehow made sweaty chaos theory sexy? There’s obviously a LOT to talk about.
Also, we get to the real MVPs: Timmy, the trolling younger brother, Newman’s Barbasol can, Samuel L. Jackson’s off-screen demise(?), and that poor lawyer who just wanted a quiet moment on the toilet. From velociraptors who learn how to open doors to a T-Rex that follows no rules of physics, we’re covering all the glorious nonsense that makes Jurassic Park a high-budget disasterpiece. So grab a flare, hold onto your butts, and let’s see if life, uh, finds a way… to make this episode worth your time.
Scott chose this movie because he talks about the Jurassic Park series in his hilarious book and show called Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up On Yourself
Joe’s Back of the Box
When an eccentric billionaire resurrects dinosaurs and tries to turn it into an amusement park, a group of scientists must race to save themselves and all those still on the island. Compounding the challenges is a massive storm bearing down on them all. With the power out and vicious dinosaurs on the loose, can this rag tag team of scientists get to safety or will they become just another victim of the hubris of man?
The REAL Back of the Box
Watch as the creatures who ruled the earth millions of years ago clash with humans in a modern day retelling of Icarus. Will there be a safety net or will we all crash into the earth? Or is this a retelling of The Emperor’s New Clothes where no one will tells rich people no and it has massively dire consequences for everyone? Or is this the best dinosaur disaster film ever? The answer is yes on all fronts…
