Disney trying to avoid paying its actors, a bizarre Star Wars VR toy-collecting game, and podcast analytics: the things we discuss instead of this week’s topic.

It’s Cameron’s birthday, he’s 30, and he wants to talk about films from his birth year. So enjoy us having to talk about Kevin Spacey, Bryan Singer, Mel Gibson, and Mr. Holland kissing a high school girl.

Rachel lists the the podcast-relevant savior figures and Cameron goes off about what people get wrong about Star Wars.

Shin Godzilla is …. a lot. Godzilla himself looks like a scabbed over soar. The score includes every genre known to man. And the board room meetings are plentiful.

As if 7 Jurassic Park movies weren’t enough, now it’s time to see how the Transformers deal with a dino-island.

I refer you back to that perfect episode title

Time for July-rassic World: Hmm-birth – “Accurate" Spinosaurus (gross), Titanosaurus mating ritual (no thanks), & Scarlett Johansson’s lifeless plastic face (terrifying).

For June-rassic Park, we got caught up in celebrating an incredible marriage of high-level spectacle and engrossing character work, but for July-rassic World, even when we want to say something nice, we can’t help but stumble upon yet another fundamental and catastrophic flaw in this thing. …. How fun!
