CGI – JOHNNY HAS THE KEYS

Paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) along with mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various predators break free and go on the hunt.

We’re starting the season with a massive blockbuster from David’s favorite Mr. Spielberg himself. Jurassic Park (1993) is a landmark film for multiple reasons, but mostly it’s known as the project where CGI had finally reached the capability of lifelike special effects, thus producing dinosaurs that scared the crap out of literally millions of moviegoers. Join us as we discuss the history of the film, as well as all the major components that came together to make it one of America’s all-time classic films. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys takes you to the most unique amusement park ever, where extinct creatures roam the earth again. It’s all safe. We promise. What could go wrong?

Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of this flawed but visually amazing film and the pros and cons of working with perfectionist director, James Cameron. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys journeys to the bottom of the ocean, with a lovable blue-collar crew, to see what mysteries they uncover in The Abyss.
