On this week's episode, Zach and Aaron talk about the seventh film in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise, the fourth film in the 'Jurassic World' series, and the first film in a new alleged Pratt-less 'Jurassic' trilogy. If this all sounds like too much, that's because it is! But if there's one audiences love, it's dinosaurs. If there's another thing audiences love, it's paying to see the same thing ov...

Join Zach and Aaron as they discuss the concept of death: the death of the theatrical screening window; the multiple deaths contained with the 'Final Destination' franchise; the constant death-defying stunts performed by Tom Cruise; the quick death of The Weeknd's acting career; the slow, excruciating death of an entire industry brought on by an endless slew of live-action remakes. We&...
