ATR #113 – TAG, Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom

June 21, 2018

After sweating away 5 pounds in a blazing theater, John & returning guest Jed come back to the studio to review the action/ comedy “TAG”, & the massive “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”. Plus a recap of the VAFF “Diversity in Filmmaking” panels.

 
After the geek news section, I do a quick recap of the “Diversity in Filmmaking” panels that I attended in Vancouver, BC which were hosted by Mayumi Yoshida and Nach Dudsdeemaytha. The panels were part of the year long industry events that the Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF) puts on to highlight unique creators and their visions, and I highly recommend it!
“TAG” is an all out comedy that is based on the real life events of a group of friends who have been playing the same game of tag for the past 30 years. “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is the sequel to “Jurassic World” and the 5th movie in the “Jurassic Park” franchise.
