And then I watched it for the first time in lockdown last year. I was on the fence for a long time, I think because at the time that Jurassic Park came out, I was more into the more intellectual Spielberg’s and I just thought ah, dinosaurs. GEMMA I talked about this before on the pod.

SLIM So anyone on the fence that is like a Jurassic Park fan, their eyebrows are now going up, like okay, maybe-maybe it’s time to go theater, check this movie out if that’s the case, I’m down. And that ultimately got cut but it was in the movie. Also, what I’ll say is, there’s a deleted scene in Dana, New York, where Wendy-one of our main characters-talks about how obsessed she is with Jurassic Park. And I think subconsciously, that was why it was there. You know, and it’s about fatherhood, and parenthood and all these other themes. But that original first one is such a family film. Jurassic Park has taken more of a horror movie approach these days. And the use of just making a plane with subverting genre and expectation. And I also want to just highlight some of the blocking techniques and the use of light. And our temp music was the music from Jurassic Park in that scene. And I just thought, we have a scene in the movie where Jaboukie’s character-jumping slightly ahead-is looking in the mirror. The scene where Hammond is explaining his passion for the park and the ice cream is melting and with Laura Dern and that very, sort of like heartfelt scene at the empty table. It was a movie I was watching quite a bit during the pre-production of our film, because I love the way that score is used in that movie, particularly sentimental cues.
And I am curious to know how-according to Jonah’s Letterboxd list titled Dating & New York inspo- Jurassic Park became an influence on this very modern rom-com. We are talking to Jonah this week because his own feature debut Dating & New York is landing in theaters. And the very first Pirates of the Caribbean film directed by Gore Verbinski. The original animated The Lion King with music by Elton John and Hans Zimmer. Rob Reiner’s When Harry Met Sally written by Nora Ephron. Jonah’s Letterboxd handle is his name, jonahfeingold, and his four favorites are: Steven Spielberg’s Hook. You know, like I said, this is one of my favorite podcasts. Today, our guest is writer, director, New Yorker, Letterboxd member and rom-com prince, Jonah Feingold. So there’s no excuse not to add these films to your watchlists. As you listen along, we have links in the episode notes to the movies, lists and people we talk about. That is the four films you choose as your favorites on your Letterboxd profile. Each episode, your hosts Slim-that’s me-and Gemma are joined by a Letterboxd friend for a chat about their four favorite films.
