Episode Summary:
In this brutally honest review, Paul Stevens takes the latest dino-sized letdown—Jurassic World: Rebirth—to task. What was supposed to be a thrilling return to the franchise turned out to be a soulless, corporate content dump aimed at nostalgia-starved audiences.

Paul revisits his personal connection to the original Jurassic Park, shares memories from his first date in 1995, and contrasts that magical experience with the overproduced, underwritten mess that is Rebirth.

Spoiler alert: this reboot didn’t evolve—it devolved.
