Our humble adventurers close a major cultural gap, collect some more evidence to Spielberg’s greatness, and then the quest changes forever with the formation of the Culture Quest Essentials Guide!

Episode Breakdown:

•  For today’s Tavern Talk segment, we’re discussing whether we could spend a month in isolation for five million dollars (00:02:29).
• We then discuss Jurassic Park - we start by introducing the movie, probably the least needed introduction we’ve ever done (00:28:07).
• We each share our general thoughts about the movie and our experience watching it (00:33:48).
• We then dive deeper into two of the main themes that the movie discusses (00:43:35).
• We talk first about the theme of controlling nature (00:44:59).
• Then, this train goes off the rails for a while - we go on a tangent about Jurassic World, the future of morality, and self-driving cars (00:53:50).
• We then discuss the theme of parenthood (01:01:39).
• We discuss how efficient this movie is in telling the story (01:08:16).
• We talk about the soundtrack of the movie and its part in telling the story (01:09:55).
