[laughs]

... it's, it's definitely towards the bottom.

Um, but I, I really do love the score.

I love, you know, Dr.

Grant is, is just phenomenal in the film.

I think he's probably my favorite thing about the movie.

Um, just his...

Um, have you gotten the chance to, to dive into that version of the score?

It's

a little goofy sounding.

Reaching into big, reaching into big piles of glory.

Yeah, and the brass here is great.

Super goofy.

Very cartoony and comic.

Would you like to buy a timeshare in beautiful, sunny Costa Rica? So this stuff is also not in the movie, and we'll take a listen to that in a minute.

So any thoughts on Sam?

The whole

thing just sweeping.

The strings are playing the theme, the horn is above it, just sort of accenting it.

And the trumpet here.

It's so good.

Um, and in my opinion, the ringtone of the phone and the family theme are, are similar to each other, like rhythmically.

And, um, the family theme is like in the, the phone is like they're, they're related to each other a little bit.

oh yeah

But what is your like history with this movie and and then like the score itself?

So, this is, I guess now, the outlier, like I've never, this is the one Jurassic film I've never seen in a theater.

I was born in 95, I was six when it came out.

My parents thought it was too scary to let me go see it in a theater, unfortunately.

But I do remember like I mean, I was aware I mean, saying that like I was definitely aware of it at the time and like seeing the TV spots and the trailers and stuff like that.

Um, and so, yeah, and unfortunate, like there's some 25th anniversary screenings going on this year, uh, that I'm not going to be able to attend, unfortunately, otherwise I could like take it off the list of, you know, take the last one off the list of drastic movies in the theater.

But, um, yeah, so, I mean, I, uh, you know, I obviously, uh, was introduced to this movie, uh, through DVD, through seeing it on television.

Have you gotten a chance to dive into that version of the score?

So in the end, Waterhouse Hawkins, looking at everything, came to the conclusion that we're seeing.

The surname Owen brings to my mind Owen in Jurassic World.

Yes.

And you were talking about how they're sort of a conglomeration of creatures.

And in Jurassic World, we have the hybrid.

Yeah.

So it feels a little bit full circle.

And whereas with the, you know, with the ichthyosaurs, there is, maybe because they can imagine dolphins and how creatures with fins and flippers would live in, and seals, you know, how they would imagine them being.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, and it was actually on cable TV the first time I saw it.

I remember being with my aunt, and, uh, she told, like, during my, I remember during my first time seeing Jurassic Park, um, my aunt was telling me about stories of when she saw it in the theater, because I'm too young to have seen it in the theater, unfortunately.

Um, but, uh, so my aunt, while I'm watching Jurassic Park for the first time, is telling me this story about how when she saw Jurassic Park in a theater, um, during the T-Rex breakout scene, someone behind her dropped some cha- loose change or something, [laughs] um, and was reaching around underneath the seats trying to find it and grabbed her ankle [laughs] during the T-Rex breakout scene.

Um, and so, uh, and I, I really remember, like, while watching Jurassic Park as a young kid at this time, like, her saying, like, the T-Rex breakout scene was about to happen, and her saying like, "Oh, here comes the scary stuff.

Here it comes." Um, and so I've just loved Jurassic-

Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World, which was released in 1997, and I was wondering whether you could kick us off with a synopsis for it.

Yes, I can.
