179 - Pt. 2 - Jurassic World Dominion (RT)

Come on. If Jurassic Park was part of your childhood or teenage years in any capacity, you probably have strong feelings about this final (?) entry in the series. But, are we over-reacting, one way or another? Are critics and audiences asking for too much from a franchise that is basically about giant reptiles chasing people throughout different locations? It’s all about blockbuster filmmaking in the 2020s in this Real Talk segment!
