One of the greatest movies ever made... and somehow Ryan Brown had NEVER seen it. In this special Watch Party episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns sit down with their desk colleague, Ryan Brown, as he experiences Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park (1993) for the very first time. Along the way, they react to every iconic moment while diving deep into the fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that made this groundbreaking blockbuster a cinematic masterpiece. During this two-hour watch party, we discuss:

Emily's been waiting years to make us do this one — and with Sam Neill's passing this year, we're honouring him by unpacking his greatest role. Thirty-three years on, we're revisiting the original Jurassic Park and getting into the one decision Spielberg made that keeps it from feeling dated, even as every CGI-heavy reboot has failed to come close.We're also spiralling over the behind-the-scenes bombshell that he didn't even want to direct this — and the wild deal that got it made while he was editing another masterpiece on the other side of the world. Plus our completely unhinged case that Jurassic Park is secretly a feminist manifesto, from the all-female dinosaurs to why the velociraptors are the real heroines.It's nostalgic, it's chaotic, and yes — Emily cried over a fictional dinosaur.TAKE THE SPILL QUIZ HERERemember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

Send Kevin a Text MessageBob Bookman, one of Hollywood's most respected literary agents, managers, and producers, joins host Kevin Goetz for a masterclass on the art of discovering stories that successfully make the leap from page to screen. Over a remarkable career, Bookman has represented authors and filmmakers including Michael Crichton, John Irving, Thomas Harris, Jonathan Demme, Cameron Crowe, and Tom Stoppard, helping bring to the screen films like Jurassic Park, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, The Cider House Rules, A Beautiful Mind, and Jerry Maguire. In recent years he's brought that same eye for material to producing, including the Best Picture nominee A Complete Unknown.Running the Yale Law School Film Society (06:54): Bookman recalls building an underground film education out of 16mm prints borrowed from historian Bill Everson, bringing legends like Frank Capra, Fritz Lang, and Miloš Forman to campus for free screenings.Landing the Job, and Skipping the Mailroom (18:26): Bookman shares how a chance introduction from agent Jack Gilardi led to interviews with legends like Abe Lastfogel and David Begelman, before he landed at IFA and bypassed the mailroom.Becoming "The Book Guy" (23:24): Bookman describes how agency head Marvin Josephson handed him ICM's entire literary publications franchise,launching his decades-long reputation as Hollywood's go-to book agent.What Makes a Book Cinematic (27:09): Bookman breaks down why great novels rarely make great films, and what he actually looks for: three-act structure, character conflict, and a story that takes audiences somewhere new.The Secret to a Great Adaptation (29:15): Using John Irving's Oscar-winning adaptation of his own novel The Cider House Rules as the gold standard, Bookman explains why most authors shouldn't adapt their own books, and why Irving was the exception.The Best Adaptations, and a Hawks-Hemingway Bet (33:00): Bookman names The Silence of the Lambs and A Beautiful Mind among the best adaptations he's seen, then tells the story of how Howard Hawks turned Ernest Hemingway's self-described worst book into To Have and Have Not.Rapid-Fire on the Legends (37:43): Bookman gives quick, candid impressions of the writers and directors he's worked with — Michael Crichton, Jonathan Demme (including his own cameo in The Silence of the Lambs), Cameron Crowe, Tom Stoppard, and Paul Greengrass.Originality, AI, and What's Next (40:24): Bookman argues that algorithms can imitate stories but not replicate the human heart, and discusses his new venture producing low-budget original films.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Bob BookmanProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Bob Bookman:IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1023283/Website: https://www.bobbookman.com/For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Did an administrative assistant really pinpoint the exact coordinate location of a downed Soviet bomber lost in a dense African jungle using nothing but a map and a pen? This week we're covering the incredible history of Remote Viewing, a highly structured psychic protocol that the US government spent decades—and millions of dollars—funding. How did Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton use psychic grid-mapping to locate a 19th-century shipwreck on his very first dive? We explore the Cold War's wildest "Eight Martini Results," debate whether the human mind is just a radio antenna picking up signals across space and time, and question if we're all cheating ourselves out of finding hidden treasure.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.During Disney's annual upfront presentation on Tuesday, Marvel Television revealed that the long awaited VisionQuest series will hit Disney Plus later this fall, with the debut streaming October 14. A trailer for the Paul Bettany led spinoff was also shown to media buyers and advertisers and reportedly featured a look at James Spader's return as Ultron. This exciting update comes on the heels of Daredevil: Born Again's Season 2 finale and the release of the Punisher special presentation; with all eyes on the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day and, of course, Avengers: Doomsday,Disney's Tuesday presentation also shed some light on Lucasfilm's streaming future with Ahsoka Season 2 promised for an early 2027 release window on Disney Plus, more than 3 years after Season 1 streamed in 2023. Rosario Dawson took the stage where she teased, “This season, the battles are bigger and the stakes are higher.” Ahsoka creator and Lucasfilm co-head Dave Filoni backed Dawson's comments while featured in a sneak peek of the upcoming season.It's been a while since we discussed DC's Deathstroke & Bane team up feature with details remaining sparse since it was first announced in September; now Deadline is reporting that according to its sources not only is the film still in development, but multiple directors including Greg Mottola as a frontrunner are in talks to helm it. Mottola is no stranger to the DCU or James Gunn, having directed episodes of Peacemaker. While DC has yet to comment, Moon Knight writer Matthew Orton reportedly wrote the initial screenplay for the villain duo team-up and is set to do a rewrite if Mottola does end up being the choice. In other DCU news, Friday Night Lights actor Sinqua Walls has joined the cast of Man of Tomorrow in an undisclosed role. Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy is now attached to direct an original sci fi film written by Max Taxe titled Somewhere Out There for Netflix. New release Mortal Kombat 2 came in third place at the box office this weekend, behind The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Michael. Globally, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has crossed $400 million dollars and Michael has crossed $500 million dollars. Mortal Kombat 2 earned a worldwide box office total of $63 million dollars with only $23 million of that total made overseas. NBCUniversal has confirmed that a live-action Fast and the Furious series is in development. Vin Diesel, who will serve as a producer, announced the project, which is set up at Peacock, on stage at the NBCUniversal upfront presentation Monday morning. Florence Pugh is set to star in and produce fantasy drama The Midnight Library, which will be directed by Garth Davis. The Midnight Library is based on a novel of the same name by Matt Haig.Conan O'Brien will return to host the Oscars in 2027 which will make his third consecutive year as the host of the ceremony.Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul has joined the cast of season 3 of Prime Video's Fallout. After bringing Michael Crichton‘s theme park vision to the screen scripting 1993's Jurassic Park and two sequels, screenwriter David Koepp is looking to tackle another one. Deadline hears Koepp will revisit Westworld, the 1973 film written and directed by Crichton. A major unnamed director is also circling the project for Warner Brothers.

Westworld is heading back to the big screen, and this episode breaks down why that could be the best possible future for the franchise. Frank reacts to Warner Bros. developing a new Westworld movie, David Koepp writing the script, and why the original 1970s film still holds up as one of the strongest versions of the idea. The conversation also looks at what made the HBO series work early on, where it became too stretched out, and why Westworld may be better suited for focused one-off movies instead of another long-running series. Frank also makes the case for Matt Reeves as the ideal director, using The Batman and Planet of the Apes as examples of how to balance scale, danger, and character-focused storytelling.00:00 Westworld Is Finally Getting a New Movie00:15 Why the Original Westworld Still Works00:34 David Koepp Writing the New Film00:47 Frank's Pick for Director: Matt Reeves01:14 How Westworld Could Become a Bigger Movie Franchise01:44 Final Thoughts and Director Wish ListWarner Bros. is reportedly developing a new Westworld movie.David Koepp, best known for writing Jurassic Park, is attached to write the script.Frank argues that Westworld works best as a movie concept rather than a drawn-out series.The original 1970s Westworld and its sequel Futureworld still offer a strong foundation for a modern reboot.Matt Reeves is Frank's top choice to direct because of his work on The Batman and Planet of the Apes.A future Westworld franchise could explore different parks, including Future World, Samurai World, Roman World, and Medieval World.Frank pitches a connected movie concept where each film takes place on the same day, but in a different area of the park.“Been begging for a movie in this franchise for a long time. We finally have it.”“Nothing beats the 70s movie.”“He was Terminator before Terminator.”“This story was meant to be one-off movies, not drawn-out series.”“The entire Westworld park is turning on, but the people are gonna be following the Gunslinger chasing down two guys.”What director would you pick for the new Westworld movie?

Drawing parallels with pop culture references such as Michael Crichton's "Disclosure," Steve and Troy discuss the rarity and significance of such cases, referencing the film's theme of reversing typical gender roles in harassment allegations (00:35).2. Shocking Allegations & Texts:Steve and Troy reveal some of the explicit and racially charged alleged messages central to the lawsuit—including threats linked to professional advancement (e.g., "If you don't fuck me soon I'm going to ruin you" and "If you want to be promoted to executive director, you would need to begin pleasing me") (02:35), (06:00). The speakers analyze how these could constitute harassment and complicate the workplace dynamic, especially considering the intersection of sexual and racial elements.3. The Law Explained – Title VII Protections:Steve offers a crash course in federal employment law, specifically Title VII, which underpins most sexual harassment litigation in the United States. There are two primary legal pathways:Quid Pro Quo: When someone in authority demands sexual favors in exchange for workplace benefits (or to avoid negative consequences) (04:02).Hostile Work Environment: When unwelcome sexual conduct is so severe or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or offensive workplace, impeding job performance (06:26).Both avenues seem implicated by the alleged actions in this case.4. The Human Element:What compels victims to stay or remain silent? Is it fear of retaliation, career ruin, or the belief they won't be believed? Steve and Troy dissect the very real dilemmas facing those targeted by workplace misconduct (07:24).5. What Happens Next?With the legal action freshly filed, the future is uncertain. While neither speaker practices employment law full-time, they outline possible outcomes and encourage professional legal counsel for anyone facing similar circumstances (08:03).Real Legal Analysis: Get an accessible, jargon-free breakdown of how sexual harassment law works.Gender Stereotypes & The Law: A rare look at how the legal system handles cases that don't fit the typical narrative.Pop Culture Meets Reality: Clever references to movies and historical scandals highlight broader trends and public perceptions.Empathy for All Victims: Beyond just the law, the episode respects the human cost and emotional fallout of workplace harassment.Introduction & Case Background: 00:00Discussion of Movie “Disclosure”: 00:42The Explicit Messages: 02:18Title VII Law Crash Course: 03:26Quid Pro Quo vs. Hostile Work Environment: 04:02, 06:26Emotional and Professional Barriers for Victims: 07:24If you or someone you know is experiencing harassment in the workplace, seek legal assistance.

Andy deploys his 2026 wildcard (which is a movie we'll recap even if it's not a kids movie, TV movie or both), to devastating effect with Congo (1995), a jaw-droppingly stupid adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel that dares to ask the question: What if you had to go into the jungle to find special diamonds for the boss of a telecoms giant, but the whole region was guarded by a pack of genetically-altered super apes that happen to look like men trampolining around in unconvincing suits. Also: You have brought along a gorilla that can speak thanks to the magic of technology, but it mostly wants to get high. Also: Tim Curry is here, playing the worst-named character in all of time.We could go on about Congo and its variously unhinged scenes, moments, accents, but we already have!

Cooper and Nolan are going ape this week when they cover 1995's CONGO by special request! After the wild, unbridled success of Jurassic Park, studios were practically tripping over themselves to adapt more Michael Crichton novels. But whatever hopes Paramount Pictures might have had for this one went up in a cloud of talking gorillas, diamond-powered lasers, and VERY questionable European accents.  Are there enough action scenes and old-timey adventure elements to keep this thing interesting, or at least as interesting as Nolan found it as a 13-year-old? Or is this all just a shameless cash grab/theme park ride masquerading as a blockbuster movie? Much like the list city of Zinj, the answer may be hard to find, but either way this episode (featuring a beer from the Aquanova Brewing Company) is an expedition that's worth taking.

Welcome back to the GGtMC!!!This week we are sponsored by Arrow Video and we are covering two releases we talk about Westworld (1973) directed by Michael Crichton and The Visitor (1979) directed by Guilio Paradisi!!!Emails to midnitecinema@gmail.comAdios!!!

Dr. Terri Greene didn't start in politics. She started in medicine, studying patterns, solving mysteries, and helping people understand what was really happening beneath the surface. In this episode, we sit down with a former pathologist and current U.S. Congress candidate to hear her story. From growing up in El Paso to discovering a passion for medicine through personal health challenges and a Michael Crichton novel, Dr. Greene shares the moments that shaped her path. We talk about how pathology trains you to see what others miss, why curiosity matters more than certainty, and what led her into the political arena during medical retirement. This conversation isn't just about policy. It's about perspective. How do you diagnose problems in a system as complex as our country? What does good leadership actually require? And what happens when someone trained to look for truth decides to enter public life? Whether you're interested in medicine, leadership, or the future of our communities, this episode offers a thoughtful and personal look at one woman's journey from the lab to the campaign trail.

Mathematics is everywhere: a common refrain from high school math teachers. But did you ever think math could be linked to literature? And not just in works from the literary greats of the past but for example Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. The relationship between math and literature are fundamentally creative, says Sarah Hart, a mathematician and author who speaks to Nahlah Ayed about how these two things that seem so polar opposite are deeply intertwined.Sarah Hart's book is called Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections Between Mathematics and Literature.
