Episode 060: Jurassic Park III (2001)

“Jurassic Park III” is perhaps the least loved of the series. Bethany Watson of the Acquired Taste Podcast joins us to make the case for this Joe Johnston, Alexander Payne dino-comedy.

Directed by Joe Johnston. Written by Peter Buchman, Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor. Starring Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni, Alessandro Nivola, Trevor Morgan, Michael Jeter, John Diehl & Laura Dern

How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Bethany Watson: This is a powerhouse cast making great character choices (especially Sam Neill!) and the dinosaurs are *even better.* Also, it’s a cautionary tale against trusting the super-rich with helicopters. Come for the nuanced Sam Neill performance, stay for William H. Macy’s comic relief.
