Whenever I rewatch Jurassic Park and Lex starts 'hacking' the park computer I immediately imagine her in that spinning booth and break out laughing.

2023-03-12 08:15:22 +0000 UTCGreat ep as always, you guys always get the best guests. I was just listening to the Michael and Us podcast's episode about Empire Records which I think makes a lot of the same points about the hauntological feelings that millennials have towards the end of history era and how we feel like we were promised this subversive, countercultural future that never delivered. The post-9/11 era was such a cultural dead zone that a lot of kids at that time were nostalgic for movies from the previous generation, when you could show the rebels as the good guys and the cops as the villains. Of course this only existed in media and the political landscape of the 90's was still deeply reactionary, but compared to the Bush years it left a lot of people feeling like they missed out on something amazing.
