Zo finds himself in a timeline where Tokyo was destroyed in WWIII and from its ashes rose a Neo Tokyo. It's a thriving civilization if not filled with chaos: teenage biker gangs, heavy police presence, an aggressive military complex, violent protests, and a group of people that the media are calling terrorists. Rumors abound that these terrorists are actually trying to prevent Japan from doing research on the most devastating weapons that the world could never imagine in its wildest post apocalyptic nightmares. It's the an innate ability within all humans that allows them to access the primordial power of the universe itself and granting the possessor of that power unparalleled psychic abilities. The rumors say that they had succeeded before, but that the scientists who were attempting to control the uncontrollable were predictively unable to manage the fruit of their foolish labor. In their effort to contain the power and prevent a catastrophic outcome they manage to seal this "fruit" away for all time.  In this case their "fruit" was a little boy with incredible psychic abilities. The population at large knows nothing of this, put there are those who speak of this impossible little boy. According to them this boy is destined to come back. His name is Akira . . . or so the rumors say. Episode Chapters00:04:24 Opening Credits for Akira Starring Cam Clarke, Jan Rabson and Lara Cody [1989 English Dub]00:15:29 Favorite Parts of the 1988 film Akira  01:01:23 Trivia from the futuristic cyberpunk action anime - Akira01:08:55 Critics' Thoughts on Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira   Vice Article: How 'Akira' Has Influenced Modern CultureAnimation Obsessive Article: When Katsuhiro Otomo Learned  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo, once again, finds himself in an alternate timeline. This particular time is not that dissimilar from his own time. The major difference being that it seems that everyone is a cyborg with most people having at least some form of complex computer or robotics grafted onto or within their biological bodies. The normalization of the cyborg gives rise to advanced cyborg bodies with the only organic element being their human brain. Can someone who is almost completely a robot have a soul?  Can an AI be so complex that it develops its own soul and, to that end, the right of self determination? Zo hears rumors of a government agency called Section 9 and an operative within that agency named Major Motoko Kusanagi who's on the verge of finding out if there can indeed be a Ghost in the Shell.Episode Chapters00:04:24 Opening Credits for Ghost in the Shell Starring Mimi Woods, Richard Epcar and Tom Wyner [English Dub]00:15:29 Favorite Parts of the 1995 film Ghost in the Shell 01:01:23 Trivia from the futuristic cyberpunk philosophical action anime - Ghost in the Shell 01:08:55 Critics' Thoughts on Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo is flung into the inconceivably distant future where he finds himself in the creepiest small town that he's ever found himself in. The town is stalked by demons and mutants and folks who live here have to be on their guard as they move about. A rancher named Doris finds out that there's more to worry about than common giant slugs and werewolves, because, as Zo had heard it, she's been confronted by a Noble. A Noble is what people in this distant time period sometimes call a vampire, and this particular Noble happens to be over 10,000 years old. It's good for Doris, then, that a mysterious stranger named D had come to town. A Vampire Hunter of extraordinary skill named D. Episode Chapters00:04:40 Opening Credits for Vampire Hunter D Starring Michael McConnohie, Barbara Goodson, and Jeff Winkless [1993 English Dub]00:15:29 Favorite Parts of the 1985 film Vampire Hunter D00:41:53 Trivia from the post apocalyptic horror anime - Vampire Hunter D00:47:23 Critics' Thoughts on Toyoo Ashida's Vampire Hunter D  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo examines the recent adaptation of a Stephen King novel: Edgar Wright's The Running Man (2025) starring Glen Powell and comparing this film to the novel as well as the much beloved 1987 adaptation of The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by Paul Michael Glaser.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Zo shares his Holiday activities and talks about a more recent Christmas film that he's seen for the first time. He's wanted to see this film for a while. It's a film about a violent Santa Clause. The name of this movie is Violent Night starring David Harbour, John Leguizamo and Leah Bradly and directed by Tommy Wikorla.

Zo finds himself within a snowflake. What strange magic that caused him to be inside the snowflake is unclear, but he is amazed with what he finds inside. There is an entire civilization with strange human-like creatures; there are even some who seem indistinguishable from human. There are mountains, trees, rivers and an actual town - a town called Whoville. What's even crazier is that they're preparing to celebrate Christmas. This begs several questions: how did they come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? How long has this singular snowflake been floating in the atmosphere? Are there other snowflake civilizations?   All is not cheery though as Zo noticed that among all the people here there is one who isolated himself on a mountain. This creature is even stranger than the folks of Whoville being green, covered in fur and walking about stark naked. The Whovillians talk about how mean and nasty he is and that he absolutely hates Christmas, though no one seems to know why. Whenever they refer to him they would only whisper "The Grinch." Episode Chapters00:05:24 Opening Credits for Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas Starring Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen00:22:16 Favorite Parts of the 2000 film Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas01:13:21 Trivia from the Holiday Classic - Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas01:22:48 Critics' Thoughts on Ron Howard's Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas Taylor Momsen and The Pretty Wreckless perform Christmas, Why Can't I Find You? on YouTube   Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo ends up in yet another galaxy far, far, far, far away. By his reconning he's at the furthest galaxy, yet. Here there are no galaxy spanning empires, but their is a planet with a failing atmosphere and a massive military. Instead of putting forward policies that would save the environment of his world President Skroob would rather steal the atmosphere from a planet with a weaker military. The power disparity between his planet and the planet that he plans to attack is so great that it doesn't even matter that his troops are mostly Assholes. Fortunately, a spoiled princess, a loyal droid, a scruffy pilot and his half-man/half-dog best friend stand in the way to thwart the President and all the dastardly forces of planet Spaceballs. Episode Chapters00:05:02 Opening Credits for Spaceballs Starring Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Daphne Zuniga00:18:49 Favorite Parts of the 1987 film Spaceballs01:13:46 Trivia from the sci-fi action fantasy Spaceballs01:24:11 Critics' Thoughts on Mel Brook's Spaceballs Links to sound effects:epidemicsounds.commixkit.co Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo returns to a far, far away galaxy. It's a galaxy with an abundance of life giving worlds with a multitude of strange sentient beings and cultures. It is also a place of strife and conflict and immersed in a war among the stars. There is an overarching government that was seized by a power hungry leader who granted himself the title of Emperor and ruled through oppression. The once great Galactic Republic of freedom had become a dystopian nightmare. So great was the oppression that disparate resistance fighters immerged and eventually banded together to form The Rebellion to Restore the Republic. The Rebels gather the greatest fleet that they could gather to engage in a final desperate gambit to end the Empire once and for all time. If they fail then the Rebellion would be crushed, the Emperor will rule unchallenged and the vast and various denizens of the Galaxy would live in unforgiving squalor for time unending. Episode Chapters00:04:20 Opening Credits for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher00:12:36 Favorite Parts of the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi01:23:50 Trivia from the sci-fi action fantasy Star Wars: Episode VI- Return of the Jedi  01:32:46 Critics' Thoughts on Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo is joined by Jenn from My Streaming Bubble and Twin It to Win It podcasts to bear witness to an interstellar civil war. They've imbedded themselves with a faction that calls itself the Rebellion to Restore the Republic (also known by their opponents, the First Galactic Empire as "Rebel Scum"). They've traveled with the Rebellion from the permanent snowball of a planet known as Hoth to an undisclosed location with their fleet in deep space. Meanwhile, a number of their leaders were delayed with their arrival to the fleet. Their Commander, Luke Skywalker, had taken a sabbatical to continue his mystic training that the Rebels believe will be a great asset to their eventual victory. It is believed that Captain Han Solo and a former Senator of Alderaan - Princess Leia Organa may have been captured by the supreme commander of the Imperial Fleet: Lord Darth Vader. Zo and Jenn are grateful for the lull of activity while the Rebels wait anxiously at their secret rendezvous point in the hopes that their most important leaders will somehow return. They barely made it out of the Hoth system alive and they've had enough excitement for one lifetime.#StarWars Episode Chapters00:14:50 Opening Credits for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher00:33:05 Favorite Parts of the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back01:24:25 Trivia from the sci-fi action fantasy Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back  01:39:26 Critics' Thoughts on Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Jenn's LinksMy Streaming Bubble WebsiteMy Streaming Bubble on Pod.link:  Twin It To Win it on PodlinkTwitter: @StreamingBubble  Facebook: @MyStreamingBubble  Instagram: @MyStreamingBubble  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo was previously in a galaxy far, far away, where he witnessed fantastic events. He was then transported to another part of that same galaxy to witness those same events play out in almost the same way, but in an even weirder and goofy manor. He's now returned to the original part of that same galaxy which had somehow got even worse, weirder, goofier, and somehow sadder. It seemed like something that held enormous promise, but turned out to be a fantastic disappointment. That's the problem with holidays. They're supposed to be a time to celebrate, but they sometimes turns out so bad that it can drive a man to drink. In this part of the galaxy the star wars continue through the holidays and the denizens are determine to make the holidays special in these dark times. Join Zo as he celebrates Life Day on this Star Wars Holiday Special. Episode Chapters00:03:45 Opening Credits for The Star Wars Holiday Special starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher00:15:45 Favorite Parts of the 1978 TV movie: The Star Wars Holiday Special00:43:58 Trivia from the sci-fi variety show: The Star Wars Holiday Special00:48:51 Critics' Thoughts on Steve Binder and David Acomba's The Star Wars Holiday Special LinksThe Star Wars Holiday Special  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo had been transported to a galaxy far, far away and witnessed some fantastic events. The next thing you know he'd been transported again to another part of that same galaxy, later that same day. Except this time the space ships looked suspiciously like irons, toasters and cassette players. The people he met had even stranger names like Fluke Starbucker, Augie "Ben" Doggie, Princess Ann-Droid and Ham Salad. The galaxy is in peril and it just seems that these people aren't taking it seriously enough!!!  Episode Chapters00:07:38 Opening Credits for Hardware Wars starring Frank Robertson, Scott Mathews, Jeff Hale, Cinthia Freeling and Bob Knickerbocker00:14:26 Favorite Parts of the 1978 film Hardware Wars00:30:02 Trivia from the sci-fi comedy spoof Hardware Wars00:38:19 Critics' Thoughts on Ernie Fosselius' Hardware Wars Links  Hardware Wars Short FilmHardware Wars Special EditionStar Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi - Hardware Wars Tribute SceneArtificial Cheese - Stormtrooper VLOGTroops  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo once visited a small town in Maine called Tarker's Mills. It was a quaint little place and extremely pleasant. Then, the murders started happening, once a month. It was the craziest thing that Zo had ever heard of happening in a small town. Also, he heard that the victims weren't stabbed, beaten or shot . . . they were torn apart! Whoever this crazy murderer was they seem to have a werewolf fetish. The attacks only seem to happen during a full moon. Before Zo high tailed out of that town he considered that maybe someone should shoot it with a Silver Bullet . . . for symbolic purposes (of course). Episode Chapters00:02:44 Opening Credits for Stephen King's Silver Bullet starring Gary Busey, Everett McGill, Corey Haim and Megan Follows00:10:38 Favorite Parts of the 1985 film Stephen King's Silver Bullet  00:49:13 Trivia from the religious horror Stephen King's Silver Bullet  00:58:58 Critics' Thoughts on Daniel Attias' Stephen King's Silver Bullet  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo goes on a trip to experience the quiet desert lifestyle in the Midwest. In a small town he hears strange rumors of men perched on the edge of buildings like birds, a dead body of a hermaphroditic man with no eyes, and a little girl who draws pictures of impaled men. The vibe of this place is all off, and Zo finds himself uneasy and unsettled. The least credible rumor of all is that there is a war in hoven ven and that the war had spilled on to Earth. Are there Heavenly angels fighting in the streets? Angels are said to look over us, but they are also sent to kill us by the dozens if they were commanded to . . . Episode Chapters00:04:04 Opening Credits for The Prophecy starring Christopher Walken, Elias ioteas, and Virginia Madson00:13:16 Favorite Parts of the 1995 film The Prophecy01:06:46 Trivia from the religious horror The Prophecy01:16:12 Critics' Thoughts on Gregory Widen's The Prophecy Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo had gone apartment hunting over the summer. His fortunes had changed and he could, for the second time, move out of his mother's house (and, though she professed love and admiration and was sure to remind him that he could come back home anytime - Zo was sure that she was glad to see him go). Zo looked at a lot of apartments, most of which he could barely afford. One particular apartment , that was well within his budget, was legitimately terrifying. It was definitely haunted. Zo definitely saw ghosts. One in particular was as goofy and cantankerous as he was absolutely horrific. On the several times that he visited the place, that is, weighing the options of affordability while living with a poltergeist, the spooky specter appeared as a giant spider, a giant snake, and a frightening used car salesman. Even with all the different shapes that the spirit would take the thing maintained the same ghoulish drunken clown face. Ultimately, Zo decided against renting that apartment. He supposed that was the goal of the ghost haunting the place: to keep Zo from renting it. The other thing that Zo could remember from these encounters was that he could've sworn that the thing had a name . . . Did someone call it Beetlejuice?   Episode Chapters00:04:45 Opening Credits for Beetlejuice starring Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton00:14:47 Favorite Parts of the 1988 film Beetlejuice00:51:04 Trivia from the horror comedy Beetlejuice00:58:27 Critics' Thoughts on Tim Burton's Beetlejuice#Beetlejuice Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo remembers that time when he spent time in Los Angeles back in the 80's and he had the most peculiar experience. It was a nice hot day even though it was around Halloween, so he thought he'd stop for a delicious treat at a nearby ice cream truck that happened to be nearby. The operator of the truck was relaxing in the passenger seat with the door open just chillin' out apparently. As Zo walked up to the chap he noticed how pale he was and that he wore all black clothes. Zo asked for an ice cream sandwich and the guy cheerfully got up and walked on over to the storage compartment at the side of the truck. He opened the compartment and handed over the sandwich and Zo handed over his change. Zo remarked on the older boy's appearance; he appeared to be a high school senior, asking him if he was getting an early start for Halloween dressed as a vampire. The guy freaked out hissing and screamed "I'M NOT WEARING A COSTUME!" Zo walked away worried about the man's mental health, but at least the ice cream was good. Episode Segments00:03:26 Opening Credits for Once Bitten starring Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, and Karen Kopins00:12:44 Favorite Parts of the 1985 film: Once Bitten01:08:45 Trivia from the horror teen romcom: Once Bitten01:18:29 Critics' Thoughts on Howard Storm's Once Bitten Once Bitten Dance Scene -  https://youtu.be/MyPc-1QdzSE?si=U5PpLotJI80krZOt #OnceBitten #JimCarrey Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Zo is on his way to an incredible, history making event. Zo is going to an island where he and a select few can witness the impossible. He's going to witness something that hasn't been heard of for at least 65 million years. He is going to see dinosaurs once again walk the face of the earth. Graceful, majestic and dangerous creatures will roar, swim and fly as they once did in our imagination! There have been concerns about the safety of the park; after all, some of these creatures are the most vicious predators that's ever lived. Surely they've taken every precaution to make sure that the prehistoric animals at this Jurassic Park don't eat the visitors, haven't they?  . . . Haven't they? 00:03:11 Opening Credits for Jurassic Park starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum00:16:56 Favorite Parts of the 1993 film: Jurassic Park00:48:44 Trivia from the fantasy adventure: Jurassic Park00:57:38 Critics' Thoughts on Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.
