FOREVER! DOG! Warning. They put up screens. They put up a tiki bar with fun drinks. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could do an overlay of an old attraction, they never stopped to think if they should. Charles Rogers

from Search Party joins us to question those who would play God. It's Jurassic World, on Podcast The Ride. Welcome to Podcast The Ride, the podcast hosted by three guys who wish they were all Owen Grady's, but in reality are all Lowry Crothers. I'm Mike Carlson. Joining me as always, Jason Sheridan. Is Lowry Crothers B.D. Wong's character? No, that's not right. Also, Scott Garner with me. Lowry Crothers. Oh, I know who it is.

Can I guess that Lowry Crothers hosts the auction in Fallen Kingdom? No, incorrect. We saw a toy of Lowry Crothers. I don't know. You had your one guess. Let's bring our guess in. He can guess. You know him as the co-creator of Search Party and from the podcast The Problem with Charles

and Casey. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Charles Rogers. Thank you for being here. Can you answer the question? To me, Larry Crothers is Scatman Crothers. And you're just talking about The Sh Rogers. Thank you for being here. Can you answer the question? To me, to me, Larry Crothers is Scatman Crothers. And you're just talking about the shining. That's what I wish I was talking about.

There's his mental real estate for you. I think I have it. I think I know because you apologize for this joke. Is that the lawyer who gets eaten on the toilet? Not correct. It's got to be Jurassic Park three. It's Jurassic world specific. Yeah.

Yeah. It must be. It's not fallen kingdom. No, no. First one. Lowry Crothers. Jurassic Park 3 it's Jurassic World specific it's got yeah yeah it must be Jurassic World and not Fallen Kingdom no no first one Lowry Crothers it's who Judy Greer is divorcing

no that is all three of us though we are that type of gentleman or her lawyer no no no no uh huh

uh is it do we see a toy of it is there a toy of it is it uh Jake Johnson yes of it is there a toy is it uh uh jake johnson yes

last name yeah lowry crothers by the way it took me four websites to find the full name not even the imdb had it yes i don't that's correct it said lowry it just said lowry and then i finally found it was lowry crothers. In a fan fiction site, probably. It might have been fan fiction. He was having sex with other famous characters. So, yeah. That is probably what it was. I don't know if it's spelled the same, but there's a character, Mrs. Crothers, who is a teacher played by Marshall Wallace on Full House, who is after Uncle Joey.

She's kind of like a tacky woman who really wants to oh i remember that joey's ass essentially tacky it sounds like she's horny um i just mean like style wise she's very gaudy and so so maybe mrs carothers from full house is related to is an aunt or something to lowry carothersers eventual operations employee of Jurassic World I think that's a good possibility I think so Full House really disrespected Uncle Joey's life like he never had a real like job or he was always like available to be like playing the piano while the kids danced or something like he was just the character it doesn't matter no one's talking yeah yeah yeah I know what you say well he pulled it, and it's a showbiz career, which, look, are not steady.

Yeah, that's right. You know, it's a good lesson. He was struggling. You know, it should have been a lesson to all of us, just in case. Like, hey, know that you could have a life like Joey, where you're... It's a cautionary tale. Yeah, yeah. Maybe you win Star Search one day, but are a, you know, a kid's show puppet host uh the next or just a drive time dj

all these are great jobs as i describe them yeah yeah even if he only holds them briefly i do think putting him in the basement sort of made joey like lesser than completely they silenced the lambs to him yeah they locked him away they locked him away they didn't move up to the attic later on no no no jesse and becky oh joey is the yeah he's the comp yeah yeah they sort of made they sort of made the house bigger imagine like looking at that strip of houses in san francisco and being like that many people like that world is inside that house like there's like multiple levels of like marriages in this one house yes three entire families lots of children many many children live in there and a point i'm always making yeah yeah and now today if you include fuller house even even more and the point i'm always

making is how uh all of san francisco's major media figures all live in that home it's true the two hosts of the most popular morning show this joey a titan of various medias and the and jesse the of the most singer of the most major band in san francisco and a nightclub owner like how in what it'd be like i don't know what's an equivalent like uh uh you know finding out that uh al roker lived in the same house as uh who's a big new york stand up um bill or bill bird yeah it's basically growing a bohemian grove or something it's just oh yeah yeah a summit of powerful people well but on fuller house like the whole family is getting evicted by like some tech sociopath who really wants to tell you about fasting really no i don't know i would assume i would assume

that seems like the current state of san francisco yeah i also felt like just bringing up full house we all apparently really wanted to talk about full house the other night i'm copy pasting conversation from two days ago oh you so you just did this i've just been in a full house run yeah i try to be as much as possible but what were you saying i was just saying it felt like full house was brought up when y'all like we're like yeah let's talk about full house yeah i'm happy to talk about that instead we got a letter from the government saying hey you've had a podcast for a little while now we noticed you hadn't talked about full house much with your age and demographic you really you have yeah sure where our tax money goes yes yeah yeah we'd have to pay the penalty if we didn't talk about it yeah sure i'm working on a think piece about why kellyanne conway is is kind of like

the kimmy gibbler of the trump administration i think that's a good point Oh mine is just called Weird style A little annoying Stinky feet Mine is called We're all Lori Loughlin Slash Lori Loughlin innocent You're a Lori truther Somebody has to be Well there'll be a Patreon episode Of some kind

I guess about the Smash Club I think that's a What was Smash Club? That was Jesse's club Where the Rippers would play That's where his evil cousin Stavros stole the money, which is maybe my favorite episode of television. That's a good call.

An evil cousin's always a good thing. And also a nightclub that is always children's entertainment. It's always elementary school fundraisers and Little Richard and then those three cowgirl singing ladies. Anyone remember the three cowgirl singing ladies? Vaguely, yes. They were on like peewee specials. Oh, right, yeah.

Yeah, I forget their names. I know I have looked up the names of the three cowgirl singing ladies before. Sure. If anyone's yelling at their phone about this one, kill yourself. Yeah, come on. Useless info.

So, yeah, let's get out of the full house talk let's just get back into theme parks the the topic of the show yeah uh so charles you contacted me a little while ago uh it seems like you're into this stuff we don't really we haven't talked too much but let's like let's how how hard do you go in this theme park world? You know, I have shame. So the shame holds me back. Oh, well, we're here. In all aspects of life, but particularly here. Well, this is a place, no shame here.

No shame. Finally. I'm finally free. Open place. Talk to us. We roll in our own slop every episode. That is what this is for. I mean think we're

all filled with shame but not about theme parks the only area we're confident in yeah i mean i love i love theme parks like i don't love all i don't like i wouldn't go to like bush gardens or something and like but i love like disney and universal those are like i've always loved right so you like the high more highly themed experience maybe versus just roller coasters yeah i think so i think so and i i like how disney is i mean i like the window into the past that disney is like i think the best thing about it is like pirates or like haunted mansion just being like so this is what people wanted as entertainment in like the 50s and 60s and I get to still live through that like point of view it's so weird that that like nothing else is still intact like that in America where you can like enter a point of view about fantasy

besides like watching movies or hearing music or something but like yeah it's still intact which is cool but the past is racist too so it's not it's not a purely like nostalgia to have things have happened in pirates uh they've had is there's nothing racist going on in haunted mansion is there i think there's i think they're fine yes unless it's ghost racism yeah the lack of diversity i guess it's all white they're all they're all translucent yeah yeah so it's like a night you have you ever been in knots because that's scary it's old not scary oh nice because like knots is older stuff even uh so like it is it is interesting to be like yeah everyone like this is basically the same as it was certain parts of it were the same as it was 50 years ago or 100 knots this case 75 100 years

ago it's hard for me to to like going i just went to universe on sunday to or a week ago to to do the jurassic world ride and it's like hard for me to like accept changes in theme parks like i don't care about like any new ip like fast and furious i'm like this is bad for the world like transformers this is bad for the world like so many things and I'm like this is not like the right side of history culturally and I don't want that I don't know I have a hard time with like what's like the newest ride that you like uh I really liked I mean I guess Jurassic World was a revamp but I really I did really like it yeah yeah I liked it I like yeah I liked it a lot too i thought they did a lot of great stuff with it yeah we'll get into um i i find uh i've said before how right like even if i don't like the franchise that a ride comes from so much it's still like a it can transcend a property that

i don't particularly love fast and furious i don't think does it's bizarre yeah right it's bizarre like there's that party yes it starts with like a like a spring break party and then like the fbi is like get out and then they like talk to you and they're like you just witnessed something you're a witness and then you drive really fast and you're like i have no idea what just happened better synopsis than i could i have no idea done it twice and i'm trying to figure out what happens it's really over scripted i haven't done the version in florida but they adapted it for a standalone ride in florida but it's just the same it's just the same does it make more sense i don't think so longer and with more elaboration yeah i i'm not sure. I don't know why they weren't just like,

oh, yeah, this garage is usually just storage for the park. There's a party going on. Like, they set up throughout the tour that, like, we've got a secret agent on the ride. There's a lot of, like, you're just being talked to in a pre-video, and you're just like, I can't, I'm trying to listen, but I just can't. Like, everything is just washing over

me i can't hear you there's a lot of modern rides that have a little too much plot that's probably the worst example of one yeah like of like just like i'm zoning out i don't know the avatar ride in florida which is fantastic i haven't done that it's fantastic that being said we're gonna do it in october the plot oh try to follow it like explaining like we're going to do it in October. The plot. Ooh. Try to follow it. Like explaining like we're going into a lab now. We're going to take your like heat signature. And what's going to happen now is you're going to be scanned. When you're going to be scanned, then you're going to put your body into an avatar.

You're going to ride in the back of it. And it's like just that's like a tenth of what it is. And you're just like, I don't know what I'm so. Am I riding in the back of a monster? Great. Yeah. That's what all you need to know. Back of a monster. Great. And I'm having what all you need to know. Back of a monster.

Great. And I'm having fun. Fantastic. But like, it's yeah, there's a need. I think people want to like, really like give them the experience.

It's like most people are zoning out. Right. They're tired. It's hot. They're drunk. Who knows? Yeah. Yeah.

I like Harry Potter. I think the Harry Potter right is great too. Yeah. There's no, you don't need to know anything. Yeah. It's just open house day at the school. Come in, yeah and there's like when i i just redid it and like dumbledore tells you you're brave at the end and you're like i am brave like and then i did the

what's the other right the transformers which i have no like feelings about that franchise yeah and at the end they're like your bravery and i'm like fuck you like i wasn't brave like you don't know me like it's like a totally different compliment talk about this mike loves this i love yes i love when a character doesn't matter if i like the character or not tells me i did a good job yeah it just feels good it feels good because optimus prime which you're talking about on that transformers right and i as a kid i was an ninja turtles ghostbuster kid didn't care about transformers but when he leans over and he goes, thank you for your bravery, or whatever he says,

I'm like, yeah. It touches you. It does. To me, I hear him telling me who to vote for, and I'm like, no, no. Control this narrative. I have agency in this story, and I didn't do shit.

I just sat in a car. 90% of your budget came from the defense department this makes me feel weird I mean Michael Bay is my father

is like really what he said like I am I have a certain set of values that is the right to me

but I overlook that when he just says I just feel good you know whatever makes me feel know whatever makes you feel whatever makes me feel good yeah but yeah they got a pair of these plots down it's got to be a little more you need a thing or or no story it's simple yeah it has to be like you know your big thunder mountain railroad is just like it's a wild ride here you go it doesn't matter we don't need

like justifications to be on rides it's like yeah the ride is the ride like we don't need at some point for the ride to change into another type of ride yeah yeah jurassic world pretty simple what they did with this ride honestly for me uh squared the circle of the logic of the jurassic park for it because that one you get knocked off course by a dinosaur and the park's attic this one you're just oh no the super smart killer dinosaur broke out you were on your path and then all of the warnings and everything are are done in in theme park style like the the owen owen hold on i wrote this these names down and i think scott i saw you of course i got grady and claire deering uh the characters we all know and love i said owen at the top of the show. But the full names.

I said the full one. You did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. It was very tense. Because who would ever miss an opportunity to say Owen Grady and Claire Deering? I say it all the time, yeah.

Just a thing I say. It's just like boy name, girl name, those two names. Yeah, pretty much. I don't like that. From a list. Now, why is that like why why do we think like uh what's an example of a better like why do we remember uh dr grant or whatever what's dr

grant's first name alan alan grant thank you why does alan grant feel better than owen grady i trust the point of view of the people behind it more like it's just like i jurassic park deserves such a better franchise than it's gotten like yeah from the first movie on and that's always like no it's a really flawed history past the yeah number one yeah well i kind of like the sequel like i kind of like the lost world like i think that there's still like spielberg in it and you can feel like you you can feel like the Spielberg glowing unconscious brain, like channeling in it. But then like the third one is just like a comic book.

Like it's so paper thin. And then the new ones are like so gendery and like, like he's, he's macho and she's like an uptight high heel where it's just like, what is like, yeah, she's a scientist who runs in heels and doesn't want to get, yeah. And she's like an uptight high heel where it's just like what is like yeah she's a scientist who runs in heels yeah doesn't want to get yeah and it's like and she's like a bad aunt is the

lesson she has to learn it's like yes who cares if you're a bad aunt like you like that's not a real thing like no one has ever like aunt claire isn't paying attention to it it's just like that's not an issue to overcome like expectations are pretty low it's like yeah she's like a very successful person running a theme park and she got you in for free like in this in in fallen kingdom they very those kids are gone those boys are gone there is a kid which gets very complicated in it but i did liked Fallen Kingdom just because it pretty quickly became a haunted house movie. And I think it was just a better director. It's just the first thing, new thing that franchise has done too.

It's like, oh, now it's going to be in a house and there's an auction. And I was like, okay, cool. Like it's inventive again. And I think Jurassic, the Jurassic franchises share like DNA with like men in black, where it's like, I like the world. I like the reoccurring aesthetics. Yeah. Frank,

the pug, the dinosaurs, the neuro, the neuralyzer. Like I like all that stuff, but sometimes the execution doesn't always nail it. You can just really feel the studio first feeling in like the new ones where it's just like a board of people making decisions and then sending

people off to write and there's none of that like coming from an artist first version that the original was yeah yeah yeah for sure and interesting stuff in there like i think like the updated color schemes which you see in the right the blue and kind of silver and stuff that makes sense yeah i'm into it the ride makes uh uh touches on a little of like the the one one of the things i did like from drastic world of just like the idea of the park is open yeah like the part the people come to the park and they have to worry about attendance and new attractions yeah right yeah and this very much feels uh like a an attraction at a theme park that starts to break down sure they do a pretty good job of like of not dismissing the originals too like they they'll like keep little like novelty things

in the movies and like i liked how they had like the old raptor and then like the new raptor like and some of the old animatronics in the ride yeah yeah they were like slightly cleaned up but like still are kind of janky and it's nice it's nice to like not eclipse the past completely it makes me like believe it's not all money uh-huh yeah yeah yeah well universal is like a little less we've said this many times i think like universal less precious with their classics ride wise like they will burn a ride down they'll burn et down like a magical iconic i mean that's the only one where i'm really like just leave et why why is anybody that fond of revenge of the mummy yeah right it's like you didn't replace it with a really unpleasant well and it's like i totally agree it's really caustic coaster too it's like not the full experience right yeah the florida one is great and then

this is so like black light in a like fun house way that's like well this doesn't really remind me of the movie at all and it's like short it's like a minute it's short it's like a short verse like you're like you go all in there and i think i've said this before it like shoves my my extremities inside them like the seats are unpleasant like my i go inside of myself i'm not trying to be too graphic here but it's horrible i'm a tall man and i'm saying in the seats i have to like adjust so much yeah and then i'm like freaked out because i'm already in there and then yelling at me a mummy's yelling at me yeah and it's very that are really close but not in like oh i feel the heat it's like oh that hurts yeah trying to get hot outside already

readjust my pants as like those skeletons come down i'm like i'm not ready and that good yet give me another minute i will say if we're rebooting everything bring back brendan fraser mummy i agree it's so good i just re-watched the original mummy and it's yeah i think it's great like yeah first one's great second one has its moments uh airship cgi doesn't hold up a lot of stuff and that doesn't hold up as well but the first one's really fun yeah i love any movie where like they just like like everyone in in the original mummy is just like you know the lost city of hamantra and it's like why do you why is that something everyone knows about like everyone's like yeah we all know in this world do you know how do i get there

that was my favorite search party episode too where they go to the lost everyone knows what you're talking about everyone in brooklyn knows turns out universal doesn't own Turner. You know, who can keep track now? Yeah, who owns what? In a couple of years, though, it'll all work itself out. We all work for the company. It's just Pepsi.

It's Coke. We're all laughing. Ha ha ha. Cut to 20 years and that's a reality yeah that's true they should just lengthen let's just lengthen the mummy right just give it the rest of it yeah you know don't take it because i think they would need to build a second soundstage i think they build it yeah to whatever soundstage the bigger one well they make you like you go to the end of the track and then you switch on to another track and go in

reverse and they try and convince you that you're still on the same track going in reverse right because by the time you go back to the beginning it's not like you're literally on the same track the whole time oh i think that you go to the end of the right no no no no no we're just trying to figure out what you're saying we are fascinated by tracks i was thinking about this i'm like you go to the end of the track and then you stop and then you actually like switch on to another track and go in reverse right right they convince you that it's the same track because it's all the same black light oh yeah yeah you're they're trying to make you feel like you're going backwards because you're seeing the same signage

but of course it's a different yeah yeah yeah which i feel is like a waste of space like i would have rather done just going yeah if they had twice as much track to play room to play with i see what you're saying you could have been a longer thing yeah that truly went just backwards the whole i'm sure it's a capacity only it's probably a capacity thing because they probably can write run two at once and this way they'd have to only you can only do one yeah but i see what you're saying because it would be double different place then right like how do you have to end up in a different ending location so you need a different track too right you guys work for that you guys i wasn't trying to argue. We are all little kinds of people.

They would burn money for a few years of like when you got off, there's all these mummies and one of them would be a person who would jump out at you. Oh, wow. Like that's an actor you have to pay. Where was that? In the exit. There's like the mummies on pedestals and there's one or two empty pedestals where like scare actors would be there. That's fun. Yeah, a real like final frontier of rides that isn't like i like the human participation on rides i feel like they've tried it at various times they it was on haunted mansion

apparently yeah oh people would scare you yeah there would be like a person would just like like in the suit of armor or somebody else who would just like lunge in front of the cars and apparently i think somebody got punched right and i think that's when they stopped i think a lot of people gotten punched that were scare actors that's probably a tradition among them a rite of passage probably like some dad it's like oh i was working with somebody who told me a story of being in like a Iowa corn maze or something where a guy jumped out and then he really clocked him like to the hospital. Oh, yeah. And then he's like immediately, I didn't mean to.

I don't. It was just an impulse. I'm not like trying to hurt anybody. He was severely traumatized. Every year at Halloween season, there's a new story. This happened like so much. Especially the smaller haunts where like people are just doing it by the skin of their teeth like just figuring it out they don't know the rules and regulations that disney and universal do i did a haunted house when i was like 15 and all of the performers took my pants off they pinned

me to the ground what took my pants off what i swear i always tell this story and people are like are you okay and i'm like i think i'm fine i've been working through it i got it back on and ran out that was the end of that was that a thing they probably did a lot i think that they were just like all other like 18 year olds and like just were like trying new things every night sure i feel like they just got bored where was it uh in brownsville texas on the border that is a common prank that's a high school prank right removing pants did pants or pantsing whatever you'd call it sure scared already to be in a haunted house and then that happens yeah

have you got let me ask a question have you been pantsed or de-pantsed ever in high school uh no no no no i thought yes oh no what happened by who gym class i believe tony young i'm saying his name i think tony young who i liked monster ran up to me and pulled my pants down my gym shorts shorts down, and I believe he pulled everything as well. I remember I'm just on the track. It was gym class, so for whatever reason, the stakes felt less. It wasn't in the hallway or anything. But I was pantsless for two seconds. I couldn't pull them up.

My hands are floppy. He did such a good job. They won't pull the pants back up. So yeah yeah it happened closeted high school that would have been like my uh christmas day that would have been like forever remembering that mine was it was not i'm sure i just like looking like struggled and it was very yeah it was unpleasant yeah nothing good about it

you're from texas yeah what was the what were the theme parks growing up well six flags over texas i went to that a lot my mom went to that as a kid and that was the first six flags um and the first of all the first of all because like i mean you guys probably know this but like six flags is because there were six flags of texas like they're different okay like ruling one of ruling empires of ruling and conquered different kingdoms confederate uh probably i think i believe it is yeah yeah um and and so like she went to it before it was like this national six flags chain it was just like six flags over texas okay um and then fiesta texas was the other one i went to a lot and schlitterbahn you guys know what schlitterbahn

yes yeah it was a great in my memory but by that like you were by the omega one like the the really i mean i traveled for it oh nice yeah yeah but then they opened one up in where i grew up uh south padre island which was like a beach. And there was like the beachy one. Oh, yeah. It was jankier than it wasn't the magical, like the fully, the,

uh, you think you're actually in Austria or whatever. Yeah. And it wasn't the criminal one in the Midwest. Someday I'll make it to the homeland. So, so yeah, it was like a kid. Like, so we we you were going to these places um but it was like were you roller coaster were you more like as a kid i was a tilt-a-whirl kid but not a roller coaster kid oh that's rough tilt-a-whirl is intense now i can't do spinning now oh spinning and dropping or like i can't do it um but i was i think i was a roller coaster kid

because i felt like i had like in the same way that like my friends like i was like a part of like a group of like boy like skater boys from like through junior high until like freshman year of high school i was in college until my mid-30s um and uh and then like i started to be like actually this isn't my vibe and like i kind of want to be friends with everybody and like the other closeted kids who just were like kind of drawn to each other um but like i so i felt like they all like slipknot and shit and i like and so i was just like yeah me too you know and i didn't even know what i was saying so like in the same way we're like yeah we're gonna ride roller coasters like i i think i convinced myself that i love that but in my heart i'm like uh i mean honestly like i'm i'm like uh um uh like what the fuck the people of tomorrow what's the like

the it's a great big feud progress like that's that's what i love like i love psychosis like i love the like the crazy like propaganda aspect of like disneyland that feels like cold war and like in it still it's like why is it still here and then in order to get all this stuff built they have to include corporate messaging which can be sort of odd and nefarious and yeah totally and like this invisible to a lot of people who mostly are like that's a nice song and everything yeah yeah weird g uh inserting it's about like pepsodent and like right right but then in an odd bit of post-modernism a lot of those rides still around with no sponsors or different sponsors right but like the heart of that goes away still yeah i know

or epcot i loved epcot like i loved yeah i just loved anything that was like this has a vision to it and i don't know why we're doing it but like it's here and so it's it's just take advantage of it it's really specific yeah no other theme park is nothing like you know, we should do is gigantic, uh, like steel pavilions about like the very general themes of the world. We'll give it the worst title for a theme park ever that no one even knows what it means. Like,

and no one can remember the environmental protection agency or whatever it is. It would be, I was going to say say though because it's so it became comes it comes around to being the best though in my mind epcot becomes the best title because of yeah right right because it's just so specific it is funny like because all that stuff in epcot and everything it's like you're talking about like a comedian as a voice and like a show or what a quentin tarantino's a voice or whatever but it's like epcot does have a voice there's a voice of classic epcot that like that is what i feel like if you like it that's what you're responding to you're like i know this is so odd and specific and why is very 80s like yeah and all like this bizarre

educational thing edutain. Edutainment. Edutainment. Yeah. Which is strange. Which is this inner conflict it has at all times. Yeah. It's always like struggling with like that message being like, well, we decided. That's what it is.

Yeah. It'll be gone in five. Like that vibe, I think, for the most part will be gone. Any education contained in that. Spaceship. Yeah. That's what I mean. Spaceship Earth will still be...

That'll be probably the last vestige of old Epcot. And everything else is going to be like some corporate sponsored, like new computer thing. The Living Seas is Doctor Strange's laboratory. Doctor Strange's

fish tank. You're looking at his personal fish collection. Yeah. Well, the Guardians Coaster, there's a building, a Guardians of the Galaxy coaster, where it's supposed to be a nod to classic Epcot, at least in the line, so you'll get a little of it. But that, to me, is a sign.

It's like they are acknowledging lately that there is a voice. That's true. Like knots getting in touch with its roots again. That is true. It feels like they are like knots getting in touch with its roots again that is true like they are and like putting little like uh easter egg like like oh you can kind of see those those ride emblems like what our logo is based on like they're incorporating those again a little more that's true in the color scheme well they're acknowledging it in ways that don't cost them a lot of money they're not building new rides to it but they'll do a nighttime show about it

they'll put it in queues they'll sell merchandise uh theme to it but they'll do a nighttime show about it they'll put it in queues they'll sell merchandise uh theme to it yeah we're suckers who will buy that stuff and we will buy it yeah yeah yes absolutely so yeah there's there's yeah it won't be gone completely i shouldn't say that but it'll be it'll be a little hidden areas well how do you i mean do you guys feel maybe you're not allowed to talk about this because you're being treated so well by these companies. Go ahead, go ahead. I don't know.

Disney's not doing shit for us. Okay, all right. Well, then great. But like, I just like, I went to Disneyland, like maybe it was like a month ago or like the Star Wars ride had just opened and there's the land, but I was like, there was no way I was going to get in. I didn't do any of the preparation for it. I was like, I'm actually just going to Disneyland.

Sure. And, but I just, I feel like that should be in california like it doesn't it feels sacrilegious to like oh in the california venture yeah i see it just feels like like i guess we just come to accept disney as an ever-changing like uh concept but like yeah it's like why are you like like just piecing in this like very new like financial feeling it just feels like a property that's like stuck on and it's like oh i feel like it should have just been like california adventure should be like where you can just like throw whatever into and like it's less precious and they can just which i think is what it is like with with

everything else like all the pixar stuff goes there marvel goes there and it doesn't have to be as congruous uh yeah you're just saying and maybe in another world where they had more room over there that's what they would do yeah i mean i could see i maybe my justification would be well if this is where the great tales live fairy tales it's a bigger it's a bigger property yeah it like like it's it's you know really one of the greats like you know like modern stories so it does belong there or like that there already is star tours in indiana jones yeah that's true that would be my argument lucas is the new walt disney yeah um sure maybe and that jj and ryan johnson are the new walt disney almost trevor trevor almost i don't know i have mixed feelings about him walt disney 3.0

colin trevor so serious i mean we'll probably all meet him one day but like he like he just looks so serious from a distance we all we were hoping to ride the ride with him because we went to the press event but we followed him i should i guess we should the three of us went to the opening event for it yes yes yes we we said we we were not originally invited we sent a polite email and i complained on this show right i think yes is that why you guys got no i don't believe so i don't think anyone wants to hear us talk about we sent a politely worded email yeah i would be very impressed if any anyone's pr department is like listening to us every week but maybe discussion of edwin the dog yeah we're talking about edwin what do they think do they like the plus ups or not jason's hot dog

eating like sure that's really what they're listening for do they think the price point at isla new bar is acceptable very hard fish very hard mahi-mahi there was a little crazy frost guys didn't get sick but not tender i like the pork the pork was good yeah they were very happy everybody there was like had the like new opening happiness to it like although the jurassic park people felt happy to be the whole jurassic world area like redo area looks great yeah the bar eland new bar is great we yeah we we can't we didn't get a good like regular person view of it because it was a it was a open bar we got to dinner uh so it was got all the ride by the skin of our teeth oh really we're moving a little we took our time you did it at night right yeah what was that like that was probably fun it looks great at night i

have to say i've never been on the previous ride at night so yeah yeah no iteration had i it's pretty cool i got soaked did you guys get i was like i did it three times and what rose what rose the first and the last first last first that's why first i think you get soaked a little bit but the moses like right off the bat the like mosesaurus just like soaks you and it's like all right well yes this is the first second i've been on this ride yeah universal does not hold mind yeah the only thing that disney does that's crazy is that second to last splash mountain drop uh-huh in the dark yeah in the dark that one because the big one doesn't get you that crazy wet but that second to last one just literally slowly dumps 10 gallons into

the log yeah and water in the dark is different than water in the light it feels different i mean i won't argue with that like more nefarious you're in a flood or something yeah but it's in what insects are circling around the toilet huh i the splash mountain one though feels like because everything else is just like a giant splash and oh no i'm really soaked and that one just feels like you're there's you're immediately wet you're immediately just like you fell into a bathtub that's totally different it comes over the side it immediately hits your pants and yeah but universal yeah universal in general just more aggressive with their water yeah uh and i will give them credit i mean we'll we'll go we'll go

back real quick to the press event but that that first effect that the mosasaur like shoot that is cool i will say i didn't see it coming like that yeah i didn't see it coming very impressive because they kept like pushing the crack being a spray right on the inside like that's the thing and then i liked that yeah but they you see it's it's like three elements you see the mosasaur pop up there's a music sting there's like the big um uh uh the the song the giaccino um jurassic world song and then you get hit by the water like simultaneously and i watched a bunch of ride throughs and it it happens every time it's great yeah i loved it and i loved seeing those like big doors like i didn't mind that it wasn't the jurassic park

doors that it was just the like jurassic world doors that have less significance and just like the wind dinosaurs rolled out like everything about the very beginning i was like oh like i'm i'm trans i'm transcending like i love this like i think this is this is nice it's neat it looks looks good closed a little more so you see less of parking garages and hotels and office buildings that must have been some of the strategy that so that like that the grand reveal and some people a lot of people don't like this redo and there's some of their point is like we used to like get this big vista and the brontosauruses that are so high but you're right you also get parking garages and stuff that doesn't belong well and those dinosaur animatronics the tall ones the ultrasaur aged they are are hit by sun and occasional rain and the elements they aged

a lot uh over the years so tough animatronic maybe some of the toughest theme park animatronics to keep up but after it was like welcome to jurassic park all of our dinosaurs are sick yeah they're all dying the lysine issue that they have welcome to jurassic yeah but in in terms of screen and screen then you get hit by water this the mosasaur aquarium is is great yeah it's so great the crack at the end is legitimately unnerving to me yeah um carly it's a real like you gotta figure that out jurassic world if your moses horse is cracking your tanks yeah yeah that fast this isn't an indominus created situation it's just poor park keeping oh yeah that's right yeah and then the problem becomes the Indominus. But yeah, wait a minute. It's like, meanwhile, we'll have some problems.

Yeah. A lot going on. A lot's happening today. Yeah. Carly Weisel in her write up, past guest of the show, said like this ride is much more meta now of like the theme park within a theme park element of it. And like the ride breaking stuff is going wrong in this theme park yeah that's true down to like the mural the murals and in eastland new or whatever

the restaurant is the restaurant the jurassic cafe i think it's the cafe yeah the murals are like of the t-rex fighting the indominus and it's like so your murals are like of the worst day your park has ever had like you're just like immortalizing this 9-11 of theme parks like onto your cafe okay you lost a billion dollars the day everyone died is forever on our cafe walls okay the logic on that's a little not not it doesn't matter though no one yeah but it is where the store ate the indominus then how much money did it cost to make the indominus so that's just so much just down like stocks yeah that's a disaster for them in the original narrative of the ride area i would assume it's like the the park is good it works like they're not trying to

remind you of any disaster until you're on the ride which in the narrative is like you're experiencing for the first time the park going crazy yeah or like jurassic world it's like the park goes crazy all the time yeah get on the ride yeah we'll see what happens you know what the drill is like yeah you're gonna they're gonna chomp at you but it's fine yeah don't worry about it yeah are we where are we in the timeline in jurassic it's unclear it's sort of the experience of jurassic world i think yeah the indominus is it like but you're saying is it what we're experiencing to the events of the film uh in the first film they are about to open up the indominus okay right i believe sponsored by verizon which is a funny

theme park uh gag sure yes what i'm saying is the ride the ride is taking place at that time i think yeah because i'm the same day that that happens yeah yeah maybe i mean the park is open for a while in the movie for at least a few years right claire and owen are there right they've had a thing right brief thing they've had their thing right yeah where are we in their timeline of their thing it's sort of in an alternate timeline universe to the to the jurassic world like it's kind of like somewhere in the movies yeah bd wong is in the q video yeah i didn't which i didn't see we got on the ride at the the press event and uh we were given ponchos so we didn't get super wet and then we went to like a used bathroom and then get more drinks and i made a dessert plate and then we went to try to get back on the ride and they had

already shut it down for the night so we got on ride the skin of our teeth and then we were just hanging out and in matching ponchos just hanging out in ponchos let's take a picture right because we look you guys are just having drinks in ponchos Right, there wasn't like, what are you doing? Why are you wearing that? We're like, we just got off the ride This is what you do We saw Colton Dunn

Superster Colton Dunn, who we know from UCB He was there And then we met some of the dinosaurs Oh yeah, Blue was walking around Did you meet the Blue or Triceratops? No, there's a T triceratops did you meet the blue or triceratops no there's a triceratops yeah yeah very impressive walks walks around thing i've seen blue like i went to universal like a year ago and i feel like there was already maybe it wasn't blue but i saw willow smith watching blue last time i was there that's great wow that's really good

was there like a promotional jayden i saw jayden oh jayden smith oh no we all lose we're all like oh she's got the better song that i like that's yeah yeah that's the only reason that's where i'm not against jayden yeah yeah yeah and yet look at the feel the energy drop it sucked yeah oh man let's the room goodnight everybody oh man let's think about Willow some more Jaden has the cartoon the Netflix yes Jaden has a cartoon

he's a character he's got the water company the water company right oh right the box box water is that him

I didn't know he had a cartoon I don't know if it's box water it might be box water it might be something else there's a Jaden Smith cartoon it's him and um Vampire Weekend what Keenan is that right is there a Keenan and Jaden Smith might be something else there's a jaden smith cartoon it's him and um vampire weekend what keening israel right and jaden smith are like oh i know what you're talking about it's like

set in the future right yeah yeah yeah yeah it's actually good right yeah it's yeah yeah i just went from being against it to liking it oh yeah huh all right um let me find this water company i'm so sorry i just need to do this no yeah somebody was fine it's is there's something like hoaxy about it that's funny just water is the company oh okay not box not box that's you get sprayed exclusively by just water on this ride yeah when that mosasaur splashes you i love the idea of a water ride that you're supposed to like drink as much of as you as you go through it go hurry get electrolytes

wow it's flavored water too look at this I like the look of this I've seen that water go to justwater.com to know what Mike's excited about you won't be disappointed but yeah wait

dinosaurs you saw blue uh i saw like i thought i saw blue i think it's blue's been walking around they've had the blue puppet for a while i don't have a huge allegiance to blue okay okay but i liked the animatronic a lot in the in the like when you go up to the like the last part i thought that was i don't know if you want to not skip to the end or what, but like, there we go. We can jump around.

The running animal. There's a running Raptor in it. That's blue, right? Yeah. I think it's supposed to be blue. Yeah. It's kind of far from a distance.

I mean, that was one of the big, the Mosasaur and the new entry. And then the, within the building, the T-Rex habitat, that all just used to be pipes and barrels and now it's filled with vegetation and moving animatronics like it's great it was a good that i didn't know

anything about so it's like such a big good surprise to like go up in there and be like oh like this should have been like it would the original was so 90 it was that like i remember there was like a video a sega version of jur Jurassic Park where like so much happened in like a pipes world. And like there was that side of the nineties that was always trying to like put us in pipes world all the time. And it's like, it's just like that.

No one really wanted to ever be in pipes world. That was the game where you could play as a Raptor killing humans, or you could play as Alan Grant with a gun. Yeah. And his dying was always like, ah, he would like fall. do you know that in pipes worlds that there was a big i watched i did a ride through of uh of the original ride and there's a

pipe that says steam supply does what the point of it was to corral their steam why do you need steam the most generic like like anyone who has never thought of pipes just make steam supply yeah yeah that's the first yeah why did it why are all these pipes around what are they carry that's also one of those things though depending on the intention i either love it or i'm very confused by like well if it's a like meta joke right i love it steam supply is great if but if it was just like i don't know pipe, pipe a steam supply, you're like, what? That's not a thing. Drip storage.

That's where we keep all our drips. That's good too, though. That's a funny... Yeah, if that was the intention. There's some hydroelectric engineer listening to this going like, you need steam, you fools! You fools, that was authentic. There's a demand, so we supply yeah if jurassic

park had a full enough steam supply they wouldn't have any problems beat it to those dinos i do as like i don't really have like jurassic world is like all it kind of does is like make me think of what i'd rather see like whenever like what i'd rather the movies be you know like um but i agree i liked fallen kingdom more um but like there just isn't like enough soul to jurassic world but um that's not this this so the story of being a good aunt doesn't uh yeah doesn't pull you in yeah well none of the moments are like really lived in in the way that i want like in jurassic park like when they see the dinosaurs for the first time you're so with them and they're like emotional headspace and it's like so you want to cry it's so powerful well i think

they tried to do that because remember they like and there was a lot of like stuff firing in my brain when they get on a monorail to go to jurassic world and i'm like yes i like this and then the reveal right but it's so like cgi it's too cgi and it's too all at once like you don't you it's not through like all cgi shit now is so like i let's just see everything now and it's like but i want to see it through the character like and those kids don't care like the kid the larger kid is bored. It's like, well, I'm going to be bored. If your characters are bored, I'll be bored.

That's also a weird thing in the movie where it's like one kid who's bored, and it's like, well, there are dinosaur theme parks in every state. I know, I know. This would cost $15,000 to go. Yeah, this is a high-end thing where I think somebody would be at least like not on

their phone when a giant water dinosaur eats another thing like yeah it's yeah it's like i don't know if the lot that was my thing with the movie was like just the logic of how everyone's acting makes sense like no yeah it's kind of like skipping ahead to a future that doesn't exist either in like i i like that i like the idea of the gyrosphere but it's like that but that doesn't exist like you can't convince me that that exists yeah sorry well like it's a gyrosphere and it's like no but what is that like unless we unless we get the rumor of like of an eventual gyrosphere ride yeah maybe imitate art that has been there's a big announcement

big announcement coming this week oh yeah that's right Universal doing a press release at the Orlando Convention Center it'll probably this will probably

be out by the time that happened but there's a big announcement Universal Orlando coming oh really so we'll see if it's

involved what do you think it's gonna be their new theme park the fourth park oh we'll see if we're right or wrong the fourth people will know Their new theme park. Oh. We'll see if we're right or wrong.

The fourth. People will know. And like theme park inside Islands of Adventure? No. No. Inside. Full another one. The next one after Islands of Adventure.

It's called Fantastic. It's their third one. Well, it's technically Volcano Bay. Volcano Bay. Volcano Bay. I hate calling Volcano Bay the third park. It's a water theme park. I hate it.

I hate it. It is not the third park. Scott. Hold this. We ask. That's the only thing we've asked you to ever play ball on it is the water thief what if i do this is what i get this is i like i just have an emotional i really i basically like honestly and i feel like you guys do buy into the brand you were like every time call it the fourth. Well, it's because they... Fuck that shit.

All right. He didn't know. Charles didn't know what we were talking about. I was lost as hell. A whole new... You're so confused. A whole new gate at Universal Florida. That's the big thing.

What do you think it's going to be? Well, there's a lot of rumors. A lot of it's like half confirmed. Well, we've got... There's articles. There's articles. It's not like we've... There's...

Real quick, in case the listener is... I'm sure I've said this before. Universal classic Monsterland. New Crimes of Grindelwald land, probably. Some bricks. How to Train Your Dragon, I believe. Yeah, How to Train Your Dragon. And then there's-

That's where you see Claire Deering's penthouse apartments back in the mainland. It's just like what claire deering's life you know there's a book that you like there's a like how i did it by claire deering there's a book what that's a paperback book that is a thing because there's the book in the ghostbusters how to answer your call the paranormal book uh-huh they made one they made one wow i'd rather buy that like yeah and it yeah like i saw like bryce dallas hours instagram like a year and a half ago was just like her posing with the book being like so proud to be playing a scientist lady it's just like who is this for like yeah who is buying an

entire book of the claire deering bed story wow oh i can't wait i'm gonna buy copies we're gonna do a patreon episode about it for sure that's our first book club book is the claire deering yeah that should be the new land oh i think that's a great idea yeah i love the idea of the monster land but it won't be that but i love that's that's still i'm optimistic about that being the case because it survived so many rumor cycles so i would i wouldn't put a ton of money on it but i put some but i'm disappointed in how i was so happy to see a frankenstein in universal studios like walking around and i'm yeah i'm disappointed that they've kind of like a like gotten rid of that that's like i love like the

old hot i just feel like the park should feel like a continuum of like old to new not like just like disney yeah like more so right i think because the dark universe movies didn't work out the it could lead to the if the universal monsters are in this new orlando park it could lead to it being better because the stock is so low. Yeah, right. So they let Universal Creative have more fun with it. I mean, there's promo art. And I think for sure the whole thing is, whether or not they green light it, the whole thing is designed.

There's promo art of what looks like a Dracula's castle, like E-ticket with all the monsters in it. I'm so excited. So there's a good chance. Do they all live in one castle together? I believe that's the case. I believe there is a... It's full house. Like full house. I knew we talked about it for a reason. good chance because they all live in one castle together i believe that's the case i believe it's full house i knew we talked about it for all the major monster personalities all live in

one house together okay which one is the exhausting ventriloquist uncle oh was there is it the invisible man or it's the mummy the mummy, yeah. So supposedly like maybe a Kuka-arm Harry Potter ride vehicle through Dracula's castle. Whoa. And it could be like legit, like pretty scary. But well, again, I'm not. That's so fun. That sounds the greatest. Yeah.

But yeah, we'll see. I'm hoping, because supposedly there's going to be four worlds. And the last one is, what am I forgetting? Jurassic World. Oh, Nintendo. It's Nintendo. Oh oh it's not jurassic world there's rumors jurassic world but there's also rumors that they're just gonna expand out on because they're building a new jurassic park coaster in orlando now right blue it's a coaster coaster though it's a coaster it's not a job but there but there was a patent for that vehicle for the jurassic world vehicle

a while ago so i don't understand coasters that are still supposed to be like within like the hagrid or not the um but the hippogriff one and like i know it's like for kids but i don't understand like coasters that are like semi in that like i'd rather oh that was there for years and they kind of retrofitted it yeah okay yeah what is it to them to the harry pot is that i know what where does it land in their brains this roller coaster next to their school when they want to fuck off after class uh it's a hippo it's the flight of the hippogriff that was yeah is that what it's called and you see the hippogriff are you flying it can you fly that in the movies i forget uh you're supposed to respect it at some point right do at some point, right? I don't remember. I think maybe. Is it like the Mighty Akron?

Well, you see it. You go by the animatronic and it bows to you. They're constantly bowing to the Hippogriff. Buck Beak is the character I know is the Hippogriff that you see, which is a great robot. Anyway, we'll look into that. You're a great robot. That's what I say. You're very great.

I try to pay it back now sometimes. So when I see Buck Beak, I go, you're a great i try to pay it back now sometimes so when i see buck you're a great robot and you make me very happy right about a robot this is the future when we all work for the company have to compliment the robots we will have to yes won't be a choice anymore we all have to yeah we also talk to optimus prime and see what a good robot is but we started all this by by saying by being at this premiere that we got to be in close proximity to Mr. Trevorrow, or Walt Disney 3.0, as I call him. What did you think?

I felt more creative having walked behind him creepily for 20 steps. I felt imbued by his spirit. Really? I don't know. He's a guy. He's a guy. We thought he was getting on the boat and we're like we gotta get in that we were like trying to if we could say that we rode

yeah that would be the picture yeah yeah but he was just leaving i just feel like anytime i've seen it and if he ever hears this i'm really sorry but like anytime i've seen him on interview it's like spielberg has such levity and life and trevor is so serious so self-serious about drastic world and it's like this is drastic world like be fun like be like you're making a fun movie and like his smile like he only closed mouth smiles and pictures and and like he and it's it's like he's like everyone knows i'm king right like that's the vibe i don't know i'm like it makes me sad that he's like everyone knows i'm king right like that's the vibe i don't know i'm like it makes me sad that that's like the owner of this franchise you gotta watch the

making of book in book of henry featurettes to really understand the joyful tremolo it does explain so much when he cares more yeah yeah that's yeah when you're dealing with a character like sickleman and you can really sickleman that's that's an exciting book of henry right yeah yeah the villain is the bad character is named sickleman yeah is that dean norris that's that is okay who wants to like touch kids and his brother is in charge of child services so he can get away all right that's i really gotta see it it's i can't believe i haven't seen it you have to every and everyone listening book of henry we put those

twitter claps in between a book of henry is that how you're supposed to say the twitter claps out loud or are they not meant to be said out loud no i think you have to clap is it on the word book no it's after the word it's after book of henry and you'll be like what is now say it with me book of henry it's like every brooklyn comedian's trick now always no punch lines just claps it's like and what is that book it's always book of henry what was this year's what was that one with mcconaughey and ann hathaway that you're like you gotta oh is it serenity serenity the other movie called serenity it's an exciting time because you don't get like most bad movies are pretty boring and they're it's rare that you get like holy shit that is fun front to back yeah yeah that is such a balls out nutso movie and

booker fannery was the one serenity serenity yeah yeah good stuff was a good bad movie it's the best yeah yeah yeah and it's so it's so like oh you can get so tricked and any weird like you know every sharkasaurus offshoot kind of movie it's usually so fucking boring or they know it's campy well that is the problem usually is like you know we're like we're just making a bad thing and it'll be funny because it's bad but it's like no no no you want a sincere effort yeah that's what makes it good right yeah i thought rampage would be a good like wind down like oh this would be a dumb action movie and i was just like oh no this is so like not even trying this yeah i was like oh this is bumming me out i like what's the what's the gorilla is it or

an ape what's the monkey's oh yeah i forget george george yeah i like george george was good i liked him but i i mean i just wanted to see the monsters from my friends from the old arcade game the old monsters we used to destroy the cities together hey Hey, folks. Podcast The Ride's live show is one week away. August 24th at the Anaheim Hotel in Anaheim during D23 weekend. But not affiliated with it in any way. And thank God, because we don't want their baggage. We don't want all the crap they're bringing to the table. We're putting it on our own show.

It's going to be bigger and better than whatever they're doing. I don't know what it is, but ours is going to be better. And also, they denied us press passes so we will not be going to the convention unless some magical savior whisks uh free passes in our way because now the convention is sold out so we're not going to be at that convention but we will be at the anaheim hotel august 24th and we have a very special announcement jenny nicholson will be joining us she's the very special guest we're still talking about topics but she's going to be there we're going to be having a lot of fun it's going to be great whatever it is and way greater than what those

stiff shirts over at the big convention center doing what do they have to what is who yeah what are they going to show us a movie another Nutcracker movie that they're debuting? No more realms. I'm not going to any of them. No more realms. That being said, I would, again, if there's free passes that someone has, give them to me. I will sit in the room and watch the new Nutcracker trailer. Hear about the realms.

But in this current situation, fuck them, but not fuck us, because we're going to put on a great show, and more tickets are available due to demand. We moved to a bigger room at the Anaheim Hotel. Right. So take that, D23. Yeah. And you guys, take yourselves down to the Anaheim Hotel. It's going to be a blast. Tickets still available.

Check our Twitter. And hey, if you're in Orlando, come see us there as well. That's coming up. That's at the end of the month. That's October 24th. Another 24th, October 24th. We will be in orlando and we're so excited and uh tickets still available it's gonna be a great time but we got to see a speech from uh conch revero because we there's part of the press events there was a big there's a big presentation uh and he there was this odd assertion

by a couple people that like the feet that you know people who grew up on jurassic park the ride will now get to bring their children to jurassic world the ride and i which i don't is anyone gonna i mean people will literally do that that is real yeah like like son this was very important to me it's also assuming we're on a flume ride and children at like 24 or two it's like yeah that's a little like scary yeah and we're all getting children at like 24 or two. It's like, yeah, that's a little scary. Yeah. And we're in Los Angeles. People take their time.

Nobody's getting children, right? They also thanked two people. first off, they shot pyro off really close. That was great. It was great. Yeah.

But then they also thank two people who could not be here tonight uh one of which is steven spielberg he's off making west side story right now and the other is michael crichton michael passed away a few years ago uh yeah the dead one first he did the dead one first oh yeah yeah and then spielberg he closed with the not deceased yes which made us feel when they said spielberg you go is this is this how we're finding out that spielberg died right gives a ride opening speech and like what he did when i was also like kind of surprised they brought up creighton because i feel like they don't bring him up a lot and i feel like at the

end of his life he was starting to get a little yeah became such a like a truth about the climate warming right yeah yeah yeah i just read jurassic park for that i never read any crime books and i never read jurassic park and i just read it like two or three months ago and it was and i was like oh this is crichton that's interesting like he's like ideas it's so different from the movie and that like it's full of like all the ideas and the philosophy that gets like spouted in the movie which i think makes the movie so good because by the time the dinosaurs attack you felt the weight of all the morality and stuff because they've just like talked it to death that you're like oh i get it but then in the book it's sort

of like the characters like emotional lives don't like work half and like there's this sub story about how like there's they know that there's raptors on a boat going to costa rica and like they need to get back to control to stop that boat yeah yeah and it's like no you're like fighting for your life and they like they would like almost die and then dr grant would be like and we have to get back because we know that that boat has raptors and it's like like i'm sure that like when they wrote the script there the first thing they were like let's cut the boat thing like that was confusing there's just a lot of like oh well you wouldn't actually act that way like moments like in the book that he was a strange characters die too right

and stuff the lawyer is like a jacked up guy that survives in the book right and he's a cowardly man who gets eaten on the toilet but but i think malcolm dies in the book and then it was such a hit they're like uh he survived he's back for lost world yeah and then in the book and like lost world i think it's literally just like malcolm comes in with a cane and he goes like rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated yeah that's all they do and you're like okay it's an old adventure serial gag. Like the Emperor. That's what they're going to do in Rise of Skywalker. And they say, my demise greatly. Yeah, I feel like

everyone was unpleasant in the Jurassic Park book. Completely. Because you have so many great characters. It's so weird. Dr. Grant is like a lovable curmudgeon who doesn't like kids. But of course he does like kids. But everyone's just like mean. Yeah, it's's weird at least and i don't know lex is like like a kill lex in the book like she's just always like i'm hungry like every day and then

it was clearly like when they adapted it like i forget that guy's name that adapted it but david kepp is his name uh but he was like i wanted to not make lex be like a bad role model for young girls like like she is like they gave her the computer savvy and like right agency they made her smart they swapped ages i believe too i believe the boy was older in the book and then uh uh hammond is a real piece of shit he's like like a super capitalist. Yeah, like a real asshole. And he's like reaming people out. He reams B.D. Wong's character out at a certain point. And especially by the end of Fallen Kingdom,

they've elevated him as like the moral core of it so much. And later you find out about his business partner, James Cromwell. It's just strange, I think. It's strange. There's cloning starts to get involved and like they definitely would in the movie the first movie they were like hammond is like walt disney right okay because or was he santa no he was santa claus already right from that was after what what year is it at 95 yeah that was post wait wait how do you

define when he becomes santa claus when was in the movie Miracle on 34th Street. Oh, oh, oh. He was in the 90s. When did Jurassic work in the universe? The ascendance to level. In the straight to TV special Christmas on Jurassic Park. Well, you directed Gandhi before all of this. Oh, yeah, right.

Yeah, yeah. And Chaplin. Right. I've never seen Chaplin. Oh, it's that. Right, the same Attenborough. Yeah, Richard Attenborough. And then how is he related to the, it's that. Right. The same Attenborough. Yeah, Richard Attenborough. And then how is he related to the...

Brothers. It's brothers. The Earth. David Attenborough. He played Earth. Yeah. Which then, wait, who's the major director who's in Close Encounters? Oh, that's the French New Wave.

Right. Huh? Oh, no. Is it Truffaut? Yeah, it's Truffaut. Yeah. Wow, wow. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. right huh oh no no no is truffaut yeah it's truffaut yeah wow wow oh yeah okay uh yeah so big spielberg history of great directors you can see in like behind the scenes stuff of jurassic

park like spielberg loved having richard edinburgh there because he like respected him and he was always like he would like talk you can like tell he's like talking to everyone else like they're actors that you have to like kind of like just keep happy and like just get a little along too yeah and then like and then he's like but you old dog like there's this like relationship between them sure yeah you know it's funny that how jurassic park i don't there probably was never a movie that had more how it was made interest surrounding it and that was sort of a peak era for universal studios uh uh like now people just don't care about how movies are made it's all kind of like yeah it's green screen computers but like i feel like every scene we know some detail or have seen some footage or

some cool photo uh i think it makes sense that like if that was a height of people come to this place because they want to see how movies are made because you truly don't it's so confusing how jurassic park could have been made so complicated i missed those like lights camera magic shows that used to be on tv when you're little discovery channel kind of stuff yeah yeah yeah and they was like a hocus pocus one yeah they was always the twister twister and hocus pocus were like the and uh and uh terminator 2 too was oh yeah yeah all of them the abyss was always like those water globs oh yeah right right i remember like doesn't it make you nostalgic for that time though when you cared i know yeah these are made oh yeah there's less love in things now like there's just less passion and less love and like every like

movies don't even exist anymore it's really sad like well it got easier it got easier yeah and everything is so corporately funded now that like i always was but like there was more like a tourie like feeling in blockbusters like in the 90s like yeah and they're so original in concept and there's everything is like really derivative now it's like it's like it's upsetting to me and that but the nice thing about jurassic world ride was that i felt like i could appreciate what was new about the series and then like still have like an assurance that they didn't like forget why this whole series exists at the same time and there's still like jurassic park and its dna it's the only thing keeping

jurassic world tethered and not the worst thing you've ever seen that there is like they are building on the core idea and there's respect for the original yeah film even as messy and strange as these movies are yeah and the ride doesn't stray from that you're dealing with like i think like these i don't know, Universal Creative and then Imagineers. Maybe people didn't like the new Star Wars very much, but you can feel in that land,

I do think, you're like, oh, these people really give a shit about the history of it and they're real fans. I feel like you can feel that on the ride sometimes more than you can feel it in the movies for things so i can tell just from the pictures of the star wars land that it like brings you back to the thing you love that feeling yeah like so and tells a new story takes you to a new place uh um that they that they got to invent from whole cloth and you

can tell how much love they did it with and one of the few subsects of the entertainment industry were like yeah imagineering universal creative has to think people are going to go on this for a decade plus it's not like a movie they live in for two hours uh the movie comes out in theaters it terminates on blu-ray and and streaming and at best we can hope people see it in the movies and uh on blu-ray but like we have we're committing to an attraction or a land or something for probably 15 to 20 years yeah yeah it's like a movie that's always playing in a theater somewhere yeah yeah so it has to they have to think about the long sustainability long game a little more than like when that t-rex flings out at you at the end i was so overjoyed like i really was like oh i'm seven again like i'm so happy to be seven again still

even this last trip it was like oh yes this i really felt like i think they like updated how the t-rex comes out at you it's like more impressive now so you mentioned this to me a week ago and i heard this again on another podcast and this i think it was one of jim hill's podcasts yeah the final scene is not supposedly the real final scene it's not it's a temporary scene wait in the ride in the ride oh and they're going to do something new? So that other dinosaur is not the real animatronic. Because it's kind of limited movement. It's just really moving its head. And even in the early rumors of this ride,

it was that you're supposed to get attacked by the Indominus, and then the T-Rex comes out like it always does. And like in the movies, the T-Rex kind of saves them. Yeah, so what my first thought was like wow t-rex is out early did you have the same experience um the timing was perfect on the first perfect on the first one and then it was like off the second and then back on the first okay so he did come out like in the similar way that the initial original ride he kind of pops out right as you're going down yeah but i feel like

he used to come down more and now he swings out but maybe i'm just imagining that i think he always had correctly he always had to swing out a little bit like this but then i think he would kind of dip down a little bit what's he attached to is he flying it's a good question his feet are on platforms i saw like the so like the whole body is like on some sort of like platform okay it's just that they're so far back that it kind of drops in the shadow he's on he's standing on a pipe it's one of these i think i've said a front row though like last time i went on this front road like he pops out and it is scary it's so good and it's great i mean it's great uh and he pops out and it is scary. It's so good. And it's great. I loved it.

And he pops out. So I'm always impressed by that. But when we went on it, correct me if I'm wrong, it felt like T-Rex was out already and we were still 20 seconds from going down the hill. I think that's right. Johnny's complaint was like... So he had the same thing. The shock isn't there because they have to get him out

to have him interact with the Indominus. The second time we got held there for like 10 seconds or something. It was backed up. It was all off by the time we went down. Right. So it feels like right now what they're running is the Indominus is poking his B-mode head out. But he's not getting close to you and then t-rex has to come out earlier because he would technically eat you you know what i mean he has to come out

earlier to stop whatever is going to happen before you get to the raft whereas i think what was at least pitched or what i've seen online was the idea is like you're going along you're pretty close to the end this giant thing comes out to get you and t-rex comes out to save you so you get close to the other dinosaur and then t-rex comes out and i don't know i assume they're not going to touch that would be insane oh yeah i assume he just roars off right and if he if he doesn't show up the robot eats the raft. Right. That's not going to be good.

Oh, yeah, that's not good. Everyone gets eaten. That's not good. But you're saying that there's some bigger effect that we might still get. It's a different robot, is what I heard. So the Indominus attacks you in the future one? So in a future one, supposedly,

it's a totally different Indominus robot that is bigger and can do and can reach out farther and come into the scene which makes a lot more sense because I saw that last scene and I was like this is very cool I go but it sort of

takes away that kind of scary thing at the end yeah because it's set up earlier in the ride that and this I thought was very clear because you used to be going towards Hadrosaur Cove

and then get knocked off course this one the heightening you're just full on going to Predator cove which is very funny well predator in 2019 in 2019 predator cove no no keep us away yes they had to put predator cove in b-mo too after some court proceedings came up recently that kind of delayed it um but yeah all that whole scene it's just now covered in blood i will say i like scratches

there was rumors of this thing being scarier which i think maybe the ending in the way it eventually will be will be scarier because i could see if it was as dark as the old one was and all of a sudden it flashed like a strobe dinosaur attacks you and then another dinosaur that would freak you out on the first try yeah this was well lit and i was like oh i like this scene but oh here we go like right it wasn't as uh shocking but i yeah i will say the there wasn't blood on the last ride so i give him credit for that yeah there was wait what do you mean there's a like there's like a wall covered in blood like a whole wall covered in blood but you know what i did see that wait you didn't see that wait no i'm saying the old ride didn't have like a horror you kind of corner you

can kind of miss the blood a little bit yeah i did the second time but that pteranodon or pterodactyl yeah there's a there's a corpse of a pterodactyl in that scene too that just makes you like oh i can't wait to see him yeah and it doesn't look very good it's the one anime that's like it looks really foamy like it's the one like uh i like the idea of it but i was like oh i want this to look a little better here's what i think i think that i think that the aquarium scene is fantastic yeah we all agree on that and that gets you you going like, oh, this is a whole new thing. This fucking rules. And then the set design of everything is really cool, like in Predator Cove.

But then you start to feel like, I want to see more robots, though. Where did they all go? I don't think he would mind us saying this. Colton had a good plus up. We didn't ask him for it. But even there's that spot around Predator Cove where it feels a little quiet. It used to be where the truck or the Jeep would fall.

Which hadn't worked for years. And he was like, he goes, there should be a guy that like, and there's an open Indominus Rex cage. He goes, there should be like a guy that runs out and he's like bloody. And he's like, ah, like, ah, or whatever. And we're like, that's pretty good.

Humans on the rides. If they could pull it off. norman bates run out to the tram every time right we have hot norman bates really i hope he keeps booking because he's you have to get like i imagine they have to get a type because of the anthony perkins face and like he was you have to get a very specific, like neat taken care of man. I assume you could go a couple of ways with it. You could, cause he's a handsome guy, but you,

yeah, you could go like into very, just like pasty odd guy, but like, right. Like two Crispin Glover or maybe so. Yeah. Yeah.

If you don't consider Crispin Glover a hot guy, right. Then do I? Someone does. Mrs. Mrs. is i wonder if there is one i stand willard i stand the rat king yeah there's something hot about willard and like a hot topic kind of way is willard his hottest role george mcfly is a dream role for me i would love to be like confrontations yeah uh fantastic uh i thought there was some good timing plus up like coming after i mean the lift tail has a lot more going on the glitching tvs and stuff they kept the one rafter that comes through the ceiling but that splashed down at least when i when we did it and then some of the videos i saw like the splash down of that little hill the lights come on and a spitter gets you right as you drop like i thought

that was a good fun reveal and then also just all the vegetation um and i thought the t-rex coming through the ceiling was working really well too some of this stuff they may have just like spruced up cleaned up make sure it was running at top capacity yeah i wonder if there's there was a little like on the same all my sources are from jim hill's podcast this was in his inside universal podcast i think there also was a chance there's more stuff too like maybe there is something else they add along that little yeah it felt like pulling up i kind of wanted like something to happen yes because i feel like there was a wrap there was something before well the raptor comes down there was a rapid that comes down like holding two wires wires it is goofy yeah

but i do like the 90s i like that it's like if you're gonna have blue then can you also do a 90s like i don't know but yeah it is good it is camp have a human's head in your mouth or something like do something scary yeah um but was did was there a spitter there what i forget what was i think there was a second ceiling raptor on that hill right that they replaced with the the tvs freaking out now it's yeah this is indeed he said this is owen grady why am i still obsessed with these names the fact that they say them because they're fake listen this is claire deering i need you to stay the ridiculous that like board game names yeah yeah yeah like a really thin like ya mystery novel kind of um and why if you were okay if you were really in 50 shades actually oh yeah um uh and it's just so like if you were on a

disney ride and then there was a problem like i mean like in reality right like uh you know a real gorilla was loose on expedition everest or something and then all and then on the loudspeaker somebody's like attention this is sharon brown why are you telling me your name i know it's so true i know you're a disney person who's gonna help me or it was like bob chapek this is head of parks and resorts bob chapek telling you please sorry uh parks yeah as soon as i said it i knew like products and experience that's his real insane title full credit as you're about to die i know and then he has like nothing to offer he's just like just hold tight you're fucking jets breathe good thing how much do they pay you

this is his second appearance on a ride he's now i have two he has two rides he will have three when the coaster opens up in florida oh it in Florida. Oh, it'll be the same character. It'll be the same Peter Quill character. Yeah. It's sort of actually oddly similar scenario where it's a plus up of an existing ride plus up to have screens. And Chris Pratt is on the screens and they are not 3d screens, but they're very good screens screens on both do the other being guardians.

And I was going to throw this trivia question everybody's way. Can you think of anyone else who at the same time was appearing in both a Disney attraction and a Universal attraction?

Oh, that's good. I can only think of one that was ever... Hold on. I can hint if you think of a good one. I think I know it. Is it Whoopi Goldberg?

Whoopi Goldberg is the answer. Of course. You got it. On the host of the studio tour when I did the studio tour in 2006 and at the same time was still appearing as Khalifa, the spirit of California in Golden Dreams, the very sleepy film at Californiaifornia which is now little mermaid in california venture or that building essentially yeah i saw into the woods last night at the

hollywood bowl oh i saw that uh yeah i saw that friday you saw friday yeah it was great i loved it yeah and whoopi is the voice of the giant and it's so you didn't know that i didn't pick up on that oh my gosh that giant effect that giant effect was cool but i had read the she credited in the official cast yeah and i think on the billboards it's like and the it's like on the force of whoopee you can't like tell that she's not going to be there yeah all right they went to a ticket and like overlooked that she's just recorded basically yeah i want to see whoopee goldberg with my own eyes from 3 000 feet away yeah that is that i had eye strain by the end of the night from like looking so far down oh i know going between the stage and the videos it's hard and i didn't have my glasses either

everything was the sound was amazing i mean it sounded great the acoustics are great that's such a great show yeah well Is it over now? Yeah I think tonight's last night That was a concert of a yeah yeah It's worth it If you got nothing to do I have something to do Oh my god

Cancel Maybe yeah Maybe I will Bring them there Have your general there Have a Sunday night general Are you guys watching Sunday night generals?

Great show night general are you guys watching sunday night generals great show that's a spectrum exclusive right one of those weird shows where it's like i can only watch this on my spectrum cable it's like 15 minutes on like the direct tv it's like oh but there's only half a show time yeah yeah this is what johnny lee miller's been up to christian slater's in his prime again yeah i'm killing it uh mark harman somehow boost mobile um thank you you got other characters also uh in i watched the pre-show we weren't able to do we had no line unfortunately uh we just got on the thing so we can get to watch all the pre-show videos which i watched a really blurry copy of and you get to see like a live jurassic park jurassic world news show jurassic network

yeah you're watching jurassic network is that like the in-room channel though like at disney like because we all love the in-room yeah a little bit so i kind of like that it gives me that vibe a little bit and i like that it says live from jurassic studios down in the park i like that it gives me that vibe a little bit and i like that it says live from jurassic studios down in the park i like that i kept thinking like who am i who what friend do i have who's gonna be in these like it was just like sure and stuff like they're obviously groundlings that they're being like a little smaller like that day rate that single day rate buyout they don't run for 30 years but they got a one day buyout. I've seen about 6 million people. Still emailing about their season pass discounts.

Yeah. And they show my face in the park. But you get to meet Jurassic News anchor Monica Baird. Yes, we were saying it the whole day. I'm so glad you remembered. Another weird one. Monica, Claire Dearing,

Monica Baird. And she also says it so many times. What is this world? I know. She plays it so straight as like what it is too. It's like, I love like the, the like fan fiction.

Like it just lowers the rent of the universe of jurassic world so much to see monica baird interviewing owen grady yeah and why it's also from a perspective of well you the theme park visitor know assuredly who owen grady is you know who i am monica baird is you'll see claire deering later obviously you know her what there's no besides us dorks you know the people who are all stars in the world on a disney ride like jay pack all right and we yeah if jurassic world were real we'd be doing like little bits in every episode to like we want to get monica baird on the show so tweet it a hashtag btr monica baird but to the normies yeah why do we care about monica baird um and she like and ben owen can't keep his owens flirting a little bit i know he is

he's a cheater claire is right there owen monica baird's desk is like in a like huge studio space like in a tower with like views of the park like the best view of the park it's like elevated above the whole park it's like clearly from like it's like a still of like uh like the shot and when they show like the whole part but then it's like these like it feels like something out of mars attacks like it's like this beautiful like groovy white like all white 60s mod feeling room and like the lots of like window like groovy looking mod windows are not this wide it's like a huge facility and it's just monica like dead center it feels very dr strange love it's like what is this like sorry what like it's a little like like if black mirror shows tv show or something yeah it's really it's odd yeah i also think it's funny for years they had standard

def uh tvs and now they've upgraded to the widest ultra hd tvs i have ever seen the widest wide screen yeah it's true oh and like not normal aspect ratio screens well i think it's those ones that curve a little oh okay maybe that's why yeah that's why the tagline for the ride is it just got wide you can see in the billboards yeah very wide billboards um they also interview uh bd wong's character too yeah he just like continues this path dr woo who's my favorite jurassic park universe character because he has the same name as a steely dance song number one in my book um and he they turned him is he in the last one bd wong thank you yes they turned him like evil and jurassic world they did he was just like a nice like yeah he signed his sexuality at jurassic

park and now it's a full fruity evil mastermind he's just a nice man which is nice to be able to have that permission because they've had to like you feel like in lion king they had to like tame scar down yeah does the feel like well he can't have a villain who's kind of like that's the subtext but that's more fun it's always more fun yeah yeah it's like we think but they can't have that fun i get they're too scared to have so i guess with bd wong yeah you get your kind of like well did you guys see aladdin yes we did fascinating yes there's a real like right into someone's the duality around someone's sexuality is really interesting wait wait explain your your specific your thoughts it was just really interesting to

see will smith grapple with how to finally express his femininity and that field felt very like truthful to him but under the caveat of like i'm but i'm doing this as a joke and then but then also starting out like with this like hyper straight boring stripped down genie genie as a human at the beginning was just like it was the worst acting will smith's ever done like it was really like bad and then when he got into the genie he got to finally be like the oh sure he is deep down still not as because robin williams in the songs gets like very like i yeah he wouldn't will smith would not dare go yeah yeah it was a weird it was like a weird it was just like i felt like struggle and release like the entire time so you're saying when he was like human and when

he was blue is sort of the switch yeah when he's. Yeah. When he's on the boat at the cold open. You have already forgotten the cold open. You're right. The cold open. I totally forgot about the boat. Yeah. I see. He plays it really different so that you're like, is he the genie?

Right, right, right. But it's also just like him being like, I'm straight. Right. It's really intense. He has a very pasted on beard. He is literally wearing a beard. Right, yeah. That does not match.

It is not a kind of beard that will smith would grow is that a nod to the robin williams character at the start of the cartoon which has a beard and he's technically the genie is that i don't know still ambiguous it's very ambiguous the casting of nassim pedrad who i think is very funny but the casting of nassim pedrad and will smith as a couple is surreal and everyone just accepted it yeah it's literally like i can't even think what it's like a it's like um like casey wilson and brad pitt or like kyle mooney and like angelina jolie as a couple like it's just like what's going on yeah and they don't there's no like sparks

between them of any kind like do they ever they don't kiss do they it's just like i don't know separately they imply they like each other together uh right yeah it's definitely a tell don't show thing yeah right like i know they scenes together, but it also feels like if somebody went, you know, they just sort of added that in post, I'd be like, oh, yeah, okay. The whole movie. Well, you won't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 80% of it wasn't there until a month ago.

No one set foot on a set. They just have a technology to move people's mouths differently, and then a voice actor came in and did a voice. They all just FaceTimed, and then they got enough of it. Yeah, I love you. We're going to have kids. It's going to be really interesting to watch. and then a voice actor came in and did a voice. They all just FaceTimed. Yeah, I love you. We're going to have kids. It's going to be really interesting to watch.

Some podcast will clean up with the five-year anniversary of all of the live-action shot-for-shot remakes. It is strange. Because they're going to be completely busy. No one will want to talk about them. Already, Beauty and the Beast live-action feels like, just don't bring it up. No, they're all being buried immediately. And Dumbo, I don't even know if that comes out in three years or came out a year like, just don't bring it up. No, they're all being buried immediately.

And like Dumbo, I don't even know if that comes out in three years or came out a year ago. I don't even know. Well, but this is like kind of, you were saying earlier, like the movies don't necessarily have a heart. And, you know, I like some reboots and some franchises and stuff. But, you know, when it's all said and done and everything just goes on netflix or hulu and it's like citizen kane is next to uh sitcom that ran for a season is next to planet

earth is next to netflix original you're like only we saw billboards for because netflix buys the same billboards in los angeles every week yeah um it it kind of there's a strange flattening of culture where everything is the same everything's equivalent everything's just or stuff is impossible to find it's like hey that show that got good reviews but only lasted like 10 episodes where do i find it i know like true and there's like shows that are like 15 minutes long on netflix and then there's like like oh like scorsese's doing a netflix movie yes it's crazy it's just like none of us are gonna be remembered like that's the bottom line like oh that's true there's no more there's no more archetypal

genius brains to like root for it's pretty scary i talk about how like when i worked at funny or die with a lot of people who've been guests on the show, and there was always a lot of jockeying for the front position. Like, if we don't get main player, then we're sunk. We're not going to get our 20,000 views or whatever. And now that is Netflix and Phil entire. Now the Funny or Die main player is a film you worked on for four years. But it's on Netflix and they paid for it but they didn't like show that it existed like just put it

in that big stripe that goes by i know my life is ruined yeah yeah it's it's not so it's a weird time yeah just lie down the toilet this is what you're doing to us oh man as someone who is not uh created or co-created a television show it's great hearing two people who have be so optimistic anyway the disney plus disney plus is coming soon and uh disney plus it's netflix hbo max like they're all these titans. And I'm sure they're all going to want to do lots of new original stories and not just the Rocketeer of the show.

Which is something we all know is happening. Which is a really good job. Also, is there a Jurassic Park or Jurassic World kids cartoon coming? There is. Camp Cretaceous. Camp Cretaceous. Camp Crustaceous. I'm embarrassed.

I know that. I mean, Camp Crustaceous. Crustaceous. Crustaceous. I'm losing my mind. It's a restaurant. It's a restaurant. No, honestly.

I'm working on Camp Crustaceous. That's all crabs and lobsters and stuff. I also watch... This is a food tour. I also watch it on Netflix, actually. Lego Jurassic World, and it's kind of fun i kind of liked it oh yeah the lego all like slowly getting the inoculation and this is part of it honestly that like that we don't think any of us love the jurassic world films but now we've we kind of like this ride we're getting used to the vibe we're like apologizing

for things about the movies because the ride is all right it's true yeah i like jay biona too um oh yeah the falling i liked that movie the orphanage he made and it was really good and then i like him like when he talks he's like yeah it's like gonna be amazing and you're like yeah he cares like it's like yeah sure yeah his passion is what we're saying not a premiere though no he should have been there yeah yeah we did get to see chris pratt team blue live uh-huh i mean that's what you want to say power of christ Jurassic Park is Jewish and Jurassic World is Christian. It's weird. How did that happen?

That's my theory. How do you explain it? Jurassic Park, Spielberg. I don't care about your 4 000 years old earth there were dinosaurs like right yeah but it's like they say the word science a lot oh that's true yeah but it's mega church uh christian it's like fat righteous gemstone christian that's true but that's kind of it's about the folly of that so i would argue that yeah but then drastic world feels like it's bright and shiny and like uh it's like no come on in take a seat we're all friends here and you're like i don't know if i believe that

i mean honestly i'll be honest i've never thought about that before i know that your mom's into this show so i'm sorry if this is trying to be on a cultural part. We were apologizing for religious stuff in the other episode. Yeah, we recorded an earlier one today, and I was apologizing. Honestly, I think, though, she'll like that, because she's half Jewish. Okay, good.

All right. So she'll kind of like that it's been balanced out. Yeah, yeah. So she's somewhere. She's a Jurassic Park three head. Yeah, she loves. She's somewhere in the middle, in the transitional point.

She likes the end of three in the beginning. He gets his hat back at the end of three. That's a little nod to Steven and uh Laura Dern and Sam Neill are divorced and Laura Dern's married to another man and she calls the like the army or something oh yeah

the end of the movie is like her showing up on the beach with the army and he's like huh Ellie it's like her showing up on the beach with the army and he's like huh ellie it's like how though it is i've never made it this far in this film yeah the navy seals it's only like 70 minutes so you can get through yeah i mean i do want in the third jurassic where i want all of them back like the malcolm that that was a big disappointing thing in fallen kingdom was like yeah totally clearly had goldblum for day.

His entire scene is sitting at a table in a Senate subcommittee. So weird. I want him and Laura Dern and Sam Neill for the next one. They are. They're all coming back. I'm on board. They weren't saying it. And then Laura Dern and her passionate mania was like, I'm doing it.

And then like tweeted it. And they were like, oh yeah, we're doing it. I love the Dern Renaissance we're getting now. Me too. i am jazzed about how much laura dern is to the point now that i don't know if you watch big little lies too but it's just laura dern fan fiction at this point like it's just like i get jokes of what you want to see laura doing the show i'm finishing up uh the second season of deadwood so i gotta i will swing uh to something to another one woman it sounds like you'll get to it in about 25 years yeah i'm taking my time you have to get through the whole hbl this is pretty quick and then i'll finally do the full

twin peaks run because i've only done half well if you get high and watch the original like i i well i guess you could just watch it without being high but i i was really high and i was watching laura dern and every scene and she is like it's an underwritten character and you don't feel that because she's delivering the most presence of anyone in the movie and she's just like buried like she's like holding a leaf and just like immersed in like what the leaf is like and she's got no lines in the scene and she and it's like you're stealing the show like you are really doing a great job character yeah so maybe they could overlay this when the next one comes out and give us a little dern on the screen yeah yeah why not once in a while give us a trade she's gonna turn it into like a piece of

she's not gonna i feel like there's no way she's gonna be like serving a greater story like she's gonna be like doing a like now for some reason ellie sattler is like emotionally unstable it's gonna it's gonna it's like there's no way she's gonna chill out for this i mean that's good though it's good yeah i don't want to just sit on that lift hill and watch this ellie sattler breakdown on the monitors. Well, you know, there's going to be a scene where Owen Grady and Claire Deering are sizing up,

uh, Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler. What's this? Yeah. Yeah. Very much so. Yeah. It's that Seinfeld episode with the like new friends and the old friends.

Yes. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, uh, here's, here's a question I guess as we,

as we kind of wind it down do you do we think this is worth doing at the other parks or is this because it feels to me like all right well star wars is opening down the uh down the freeway we got to do something for the summer that feels like what motivated all of this happening um but was this successful enough that they should go to uh orlando orlando and uh osaka and i well i'm obviously they love claire daring in osaka in japan i read the book right children have to read it in school that's how they learn english in japan now uh i i'm always a fan of two versions of rides so guardians that's what i think like i like guardians a lot it two versions of rides. I like the Guardians.

That's what I think. I like Guardians a lot. It's one of my favorites. But please keep my beloved Florida Tower of Terror safe. I like two different versions. I like the idea that I can go do the classic in Orlando. That's nice. I'm not against them doing this version in Orlando,

but I like that. Let's keep them if we can i guess like if i wasn't thinking about what's realistic i would just want there to be like a new ride that has stuff i want to see like and just let there be like two different new rides but i know sure not gonna happen well for years and the concept art of this is pretty easy to find online there was like a jeep ride a jeep adventure ride that they always talked about building in florida i think there's still space available to build it well that's what people were like it's islands adventure right yeah yeah

and like because that's what i think then the new idea was for the gyrosphere thing which if they can make a big ball roll and have a jimmy fallon on the screen in there i'm all like let's do it that that i when when that was in the movie i will say no the only other thing that i've ever went well that's made for a theme park uh it's the driver's sphere and then in the one hobbit movie when they get in the barrels and they go through the rapid like sure that's fun too stuff but but that jeep thing like you could make like the scariest ride of all time if you can have like the t-rex chomping down like the scene in the first jurassic park which i don't even know if they could do it because of how freaked out any child that went on it because as a kid i was traumatized by that scene i love jurassic park but i would watch that and I was just freaked out because of how good it is.

So good. But, like, yeah, that Jeep ride, that would be awesome. Yeah. But I would be scarred if I went down there. If they were going to do it, it would be gyrosphere, right? Yeah, and you couldn't, like, break that open. I feel like you could get a Jeep, and you could somehow, like, make it feel like it was squeezing in a little bit like like a piece of glass comes down within the

content with the fact that gyrospheres don't exist finally that's true they have to finally admit but they don't want to do that but there was a drawing on a patent i saw it and it's real that means it's real i should support imagination the only reason i could see them doing this overlay in florida for a couple of reasons um whether they should or not is up up for discussion but because islands of adventure is hitting the 20 year mark and stuff is like start they are starting to freshen up stuff um also depending on how they're going to theme that raptor roller coaster if they flip it all to jurassic will that cause them to go like we should make it all jurassic world i think they're gonna

see how this one is received they're gonna listen to this podcast specifically and see i mean we do have to remember jurassic world was insanely successful yeah oh yeah super in the top 10 movies of all time in terms of box office movies that comes out is in the top 10 movies i guess that is true movies are refreshed every single year now yeah uh everyone wants to see dinosaurs and also it's like what sure yeah no matter what right or how many assistants get strangled to death along the way and also what bothers me is that none of these movies, Gone with the Wind is the number one movie. It will always be.

Where's that ride? Yeah, right. That's like if you... In the burning... Yeah. If inflation were taken into account, most of these movies are not in the top 10. Yeah.

That's true. So like... Titanic. That would be a good ride. But again, only the theme park divisions are thinking about the long game everyone else is thinking about the next financial quarter or two i just want to see pterodactyls like i think that's yes would just be so fun as a kid i was reading the book i was like there were pterodactyls in that first book and they were not in the movie i know it's because

that was my favorite dinosaur because they go through an aviary where there's a hotel there was supposed to be a hotel inside the aviary and then they were immediately like oh that was a terrible idea because it's all boarded up and apparently all the workmen died it's like well obviously and then all the pterodactyls do is just like kamikaze dive bomb the kids and try to knock them unconscious and it's fun like that would be cool yeah they should do that i'm looking at it it's gone with the wind star wars sound of music et titanic wow that's the top five which feels like in terms of impact that feels correct yeah right although dr zhivago is eight that's interesting yeah it's ten commandments jaws dr zhivago exorcist snow white oh and then

you start getting into the territory 11 is force awakens okay so guys these are gonna have the biggest corners of uh that academy museum that's coming to wilshire boulevard i am so excited for that uh are you the technodrome well i i'm no i'm interested it seems like a a uh misuse of money in the current state of los angeles uh the current state of los angeles is it it feels like a misuse of money but the one piece of concept art was the one giant rune that uh is just columns that it's just an empty room with massive columns and spielberg paid a million dollars for a column uh jason blum paid a million dollars for a column it's just people buying columns for a million dollars and i think it's called the heimsa bond room and i've talked about

when you say column just like a blank column just column and it has their name on it or yeah okay i think so or it's like they're the the donors but it's just the concept art it's like this is just a room with a lot of lighting it's just an empty room with columns this is so odd yeah are you saying we should buy a column i mean it would be very funny to buy a column as a like if someone pulled a million altogether if we could pull money for a column and then made it say like pee pee poo poo that would be very that would be the choice and then people would be like i i actually love pee pee poo poo's films like i've seen all of them actually i know what it is yeah um i think it'll be it will be an interesting

museum but it just seems like it's it's going to be the most expensive museum of all time and it feels a little decadent it definitely looks decadent but in the way that the promise of la seems like it's supposed to be like there's like a room that's like close encounters in star wars it's just like sci-fi room and it looks really i just want to get into yeah look at like scarlett o'hara and et and like the exercise like sure it sounds fun i just want to see the columns i'm pretty good actually built the columns up in my mind i'm excited for these columns now uh so more of a rose i just like the idea of someone buying a ceremonial column in an empty room for a million dollars sure well we'll get one oh and eiger bob eiger was the big uh with the big pitchman for like come on buy these columns someday we'll have column money yeah um i'm looking through okay one of the my

the things we didn't talk about uh this is not confirmed and somebody tell me if they came across this the ride is slower than jurassic park don't know that if you like if you look up this is i think another jim hill source thing if you look at the videos when they're both together it seems like the jurassic world moves slower you just longer ride but i have yet to see what the duration is on like wikipedia or something get your stopwatches out everybody let's find out let's figure that out and they turn the jets on a little slower maybe the opening is probably the mosasaurus probably is where i would say i feel like being slower maybe yeah i don probably the mosasaurus probably is this where i would say i feel like being slower maybe yeah i don't know you're in there for a while yeah so but the whole

thing maybe overall um i don't know that's about the how what a way to end the show really you know what i'd like to say is i forgot to acknowledge at the beginning that i went on the ride i'm afraid of cat i said said the whole Jurassic Park ride episode. I've only done it once. I don't want to do it again. But it's been a courageous year for me. I've done a lot. And just like Splash Mouth, thank you.

That's what I wanted was a half-hearted applause. I stopped because you weren't done. And I applaud fully after this. That was all it deserved. Here is the column room. Oh, I have seen that picture. I had no idea what i was looking at wow all right very good uh um but you know i just like as with everything in my courageous writing your splash mountain and critic coaster tower of terror and guardians uh i had i had help from a little friend called Liquor.

And if I could just, you know, anybody listening out there, I can't say enough. If there's something you're scared of doing, drink a bunch and then do it. If I could impart any message, yeah, and we could, yeah, yeah. Drink a bunch, then do it.

Claps for points. Island New Bar, what do we think? Oh, it was great. I i mean i didn't get i didn't get a drink it's hard really long look it's hard to not like it when you're at a press event uh yeah i tried a lot of blended ones and i thought they were pretty good for like do we have drinks do we have um a picture of the menu i forget it's it's my time you say no tiki i don't think i think that if they're collectible why are they not drastic world like i don't get the like they're just

like a bamboo stick that you don't want to take home more of like a dinosaur shape yeah or just something that's like jurassic world i don't know i thought that was kind of like it looked cheap too i don't know i like yeah i like the idea of like a tiki theme but it would make more sense if it was a dinosaur glass yeah yeah that makes sense collectible uh yeah and also i've seen the complaint now that it's like not like a you know it's not in the summer of oga's cantina the incredible bar in star wars land that this is just a stand essentially i was hoping for a little more because when we i I believe we got that scoop live while we were recording that there was going to be a tiki bar.

And I was imagining maybe on the top of the restaurant, there'd be this cool theme. I thought that too. But unfortunately, yeah, it's just a little stand. Not that it's not bad. I think it gives it the area a lot of like energy, but it's not the fully emergent. We want, even we know what we want. We want a dinosaur in the robot on the restaurant. I want to be able to sit and

look at the splashdown we want to sit like a tropical margarita we want to feel costa rica like when you're there feel costa rica we want like a dinosaur with a lay on or something like a hat like a sun hat the food is a real step up for the lower the chicken and the pork and rice and stuff was a real step up for the lower lot i think the issue with um now though is like oh cool new land we plus everything up in this area it's like you gotta get a move on on the rest of the other parts of the park because it makes them work worse by comparison right i think the restaurant still could be like cooler though there's something so like it's still it's always felt like a hospital or something like there's a clinical yeah yeah i liked the original mural like there were these

like painted they were kind of janky and small but they were just like painted photo realist like murals of dinosaurs like it loving life and it was like out in the open and and i liked that that was a like a choice that felt weird and like uh and also like that's how jurassic park is like in the like in the cafeteria and stuff like they have these like murals like that but then this felt the murals the aesthetic felt clean and nice but like a like a half-assed lunch children's lunchbox of jurassic park you know like it didn't have anything like you feel really immersive like yeah there's no personality really yeah but it's nicer than like a lot of stuff at a theme park so yes and it's it's newish now so that's great yeah it's clean right now but if there

could be a drink where what about a drink where like the there's little like you get a little mr dna with it and those are a little yes that's a perfect drop into the drink you like disconnect him eating dna yeah this is where disney is just kicking universal's ass is in the instagrammable food and drink departments right on whether it's mugs whether it's the hatbox ghost tiki mugs like they know what nerds want to buy and they know like what's going to like be an instant like there's a big donut that's in the shape of donald duck's ass like it's like his his little bottom his bottom i should have said bottom i'm so sorry mom ass i don't know why i said ass donald duck's thick ass this is duck butt and it's but it's like people take a picture of it

there's a wizard hat like smoothie that looks like the source of like why wouldn't they do that like mr dns you just literally that's a multi-million dollar idea that they will do they won't do it they won't listen to us yeah they're kind of boring i don't know yeah i drink it's like a spitter you squeeze it and it squeezes oh yeah it's alcohol india great or like just rip off new ways to be an alcoholic now yeah faster new discovery the joe's crab shack drink the shark bite where you pour in my favorite drink a little blood and then it makes the water it's like a little shark she didn't do it this year we didn't do it at comic-con it just never worked out it's a tradition usually if it's like a big like chalice glass chalice that's probably not what the term is and it's blue and then you put red in it and

it's a whole they do the whole show for a little show like that feels like a given yeah joe's part of the appeal is also it's usually very cold inside and quiet uh and it's relatively quiet and the food is acceptable it's fine and it's but it's on the water which is on the water it's behind the convention center yeah there is something about the restaurant that feels like designed by execs or something like it's like for meetings or something like you're supposed to like take meetings at jurassic park cafe like it's just like clean and inoffensive it's not like making any choices it's like it's like you'll like it yeah there's something for everyone i mean the food just used to be so dour looking so like getting some mojo pork and the the crisp arepas is that with the crispy cornbread stuff

like and and crispy plantain it's like well this is this is nice this feels nice yeah yeah it is night and day yeah theme uh so that's good but also i want to have one more i get a drink that comes in a shaving cream can yeah i mean how how yeah i mean truly that would like make them so much more money and for like harry potter which they they're doing it in another part of the park. It's crazy they don't. Yeah. Just make a dinosaur mug and make them limited edition.

And idiots like me will buy them. Absolutely. Because they're going to be gone soon. And I need it now. Even Springfield. Even Springfield has some kooky food. Yeah. The Duff and the big donuts. The flaming moe at least.

Hard on your body i was like they are delicious but you gotta share yeah they are good but you gotta share them well we ate the grinch donut yeah we ate the grinch's face and donut form and then about a week later i ate another grinch donut oh my god wow now you gotta have your weekly grinch donut yeah now i have i'm hooked which is i'm really hungry now they're not too bready that was my i looked and i was like i Now you've got to have your weekly Grinch donut. Yeah, now I'm hooked. Which is, I'm really hungry now. They're not too bready. That was my... I looked and I was like, I bet this tricks you and it's actually really bready.

That was my theory. Well, the Grinch, since I haven't actually had a... Maybe the Springfield one is bready, but there's so much frosting on the Grinch's face. It's a perfect ratio. Maybe too much frosting. So now frosting breakfast every day I have to do it And a shark bite to go with it

An alcoholic An 11am shark bite Every morning Any closing thoughts? Anything? I don't know It's fun I dug it

Thanks for coming to do it Yeah, thank you Thanks for jumping on the ride This is one of the quickest From opening to episode topics I think we've had. That's what I intended, yeah. Yeah, just to break a record, break a speed record. Yeah, hey, Charles Rogers, you survived podcast the ride.

Thank you, guys. Thank you for being a big fan. I very much appreciate it. Oh, gee. Thank you. Thanks for doing it. Much appreciated. You all move a little differently in person than I had imagined. thank you for being a big fan i very much appreciate it thanks for doing it much appreciate and uh you all move a little differently in person than i had imagined each each one in your own what

do you could you say what you thought i moved like um you smile more with your eyes than i expected interesting wow wow because i think my delivery my delivery might be flat pretty flat so i could imagine i'm trying to imagine what i would look like right just my voice so i didn't make that make sense well and then more heart and you're more like your body is more like loose and fluid than i imagine hey i like that and then and then you i'm sorry i just fucked up your name oh no hey we're in a group of three i was like am i gonna like am i good i know i know no no jason you i was on this podcast i don't know who the fuck knows i can't believe anyone knows the name horrible okay no no no no no no no no and then i was like am i gonna am i gonna like somehow like trick my way back into fixing this

and then i didn't no jason you um you like or think you're always thinking and that's something you can't hear on on air you know oh thank you the gears are turning whoa i'm looser i think you're looser physicality i'm stiff as a board no no thank you i appreciate it um uh we did take some pictures and video at the the open we took a bunch and there's like one or two where i was like hey it looked pretty good there's one where i was like oh no what happened i didn't know i should have got my angle i didn't know my angle and then we got to know your angles i didn't mean to somehow inspire that type of thinking in you comedians are the worst uh just like like this ride it's so this one really is that when you

get off the ride they say you survive jurassic park the ride and then you exit through the gift shop uh charles would you like to plug anything by exiting through the gift shop oh um i mean you got a couple more months to listen to the podcast that i made that's on year wolf before it goes on to stitcher premium okay okay and then you have to pay for it um which no one will classic year wolf the clock is ticking i know it's going to their fault um and it's called the problem with charles and casey and i'm sitting on a lot of search party news that i will soon be able to reveal when corporate powers allow oh they control all of the information because you want to make a big splash then when it yeah is revealable did you tell them that you were going on a theme park podcast and it might be perfect timing perfect time

yeah what it's such a direct line release it if you are you releasing a new ride anytime soon oh man i got a couple rides in me okay all right uh uh is there like you have a good where would these announcements be twitter maybe um i mean i'll put it on my instagram instagram what's the name g charles rogers okay and it's the french spelling r-o-g-e-r-s and then let me ask so you're not a victim of the flattening of culture where can people stream the first two seasons of certain you can stream i mean it's on itunes it's on the tbs app um but itunes you can watch extended versions, which are better and a little longer and funny and have some. Oh, you don't have to condense it to the airing stand.

Oh, wow. We have two extra minutes on the extended one. So that's great. And then it's second season is also on Hulu, but not the first season. And then soon everything is going to be easier to find.
