Lore Watch Podcast: Welcome to Jurassic Park: how it kicked off a cultural phenomenon

This week, Matt, Joe, and special guest Eric O’Dea dove into one of the most influential series for the 90s kids in the audience: Jurassic Park. From Michael Crichton’s groundbreaking novels to the movies, dinosaurs were inescapable — pun intended. Our hosts discuss the first few works in the series, how the books and movies differed, and just how wrong the science was. Jurassic Park influenced a generation of kids to be really into that dino DNA and spawned a ton of our favorite memes.
