Congo

from The School of Movies Archive · host Alex Shaw

[School of Movies 2016] In 1993 Steven Spielberg directed the movie Jurassic Park, adapted from the book by Michael Crichton. It was a wildly successful family blockbuster. Immediately all studios began a mad dash to replicate that formula. Paramount believed they had cracked it with this film in 1995, written by Crichton in 1980, featuring a cast of genuinely talented actors and seemingly going for an Indiana Jones-discovers-King-Solomon's-Mines-with-rabid apes vibe. However, the results, as you will hear, fell so short of Jurassic Park that Congo is barely in the same medium. Less a movie and more a confused 110 minute commercial advertising a product you can't work out but probably has something to do with diamonds or laser guns. This episodes was commissioned by Maureen Foley (who guests) and Nick, and features Neil Taylor and Brenden Agnew. Guests: Brendan Agnew of Cinapse Maureen Foley of New Century Neil Taylor of TheKidDogg
