Episode #172 – Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

What this episode covers

On Episode #172 of My Bloody Podcast, the trio of hosts; a dino hunter with a flair for the dramatic, a bespectacled paleontology nerd with a heart of amber, and a full-blown dinosaur (emotionally and perhaps literally); strap on their metaphorical fanny packs and head back to Isla Nublar-adjacent to dissect Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest cinematic attempt to resuscitate a franchise that, like its scaly stars, should perhaps have stayed fossilized. The premise of this podcast episode? A battle royale for the soul of Jurassic World, with Chelsea and Preston in one corner, gleefully defending the film’s shiny veneer and genetic tinkering plotlines, and Bryan; a mad genius, cinematic curmudgeon, and part-time chaos theorist in the other, wielding his disdain like a flare in a T. rex paddock. It’s a slobber knocker of opinions, a philosophical steel cage match where the only casualty is narrative coherence. The trio does their due diligence discussing the science (technically present), the characters (emotionally absent), and the action (somewhere between Land Before Time and a mid-budget Marvel brawl). There is consensus that the film's central ideas were promising; evolution, extinction, and whether a velociraptor could eat a dumb stoner dude; but even greater consensus that none of it really landed.
