Simon and Jim return to Isla Sorna for Joe Johnston’s JURASSIC PARK III, the neglected third child of the original Jurassic Park trilogy. They get into the film’s troubled production history, the continual retreading of the first film, the film’s dull regression to the mean, and how this film surprisingly establishes a lot of the preoccupations of the JURASSIC WORLD films including extreme Velociraptor intelligence and a backgrounding of feminist issues.

Content warnings: death and mutilation, animal abuse, misogyny, sexual abuse and statutory rape.
