   #86: The Jurassic Park Super Bowl Commercial

   Greetings, Listener. Today on General Snobbery, we discuss the biggest hot-button issue of the current age: the Jurassic Park Super Bowl commercial. At the time of posting, the commercial is about four months old, but given the fact the commercial has crossed half a million views on YouTube, it’s become clear the impact is not receding. Well, your tireless wait for your Internet’s preeminent Jurassic Park scholars to dissect the commercial is finally over. Tune into this new episode to hear us discuss bad CGI, Coach Yoast, general hatred of Xfinity, Newman, purple Josh Brolin, who would win in a fight between Ridley Scott and James Cameron, the latest conspiracies regarding Robert Muldoon, and, of course, Samuel L. Jackson’s severed arm. Enjoy, and keep on Jurassic Parkin’.

   #85: Jurassic World Rebirth: HWhat a Bad Movie

   Hey Listener, we’re back! And we’re here to snob about a movie that nobody saw, Jurassic World: Rebirth. This is a very bad movie. There are dinosaurs, there are deaths, and there are many characters that you forget about the second you meet them. This is a movie that should not exist. And yet, it does, therefore we snobbed about it. Does it have anything to do with the previous movies? Basically not. Does it have anything to say about life in general? Nope. Is it so boring that one half of General Snobbery fell asleep shortly into the second act? You bet. So tune in for some good ole snobbery on a movie you’ve never seen and probably never will, because we can promise you this podcast is way more entertaining than this piece of crap movie.

   #84: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ('s Child)

   Hey listener. We’ve come back for our yearly podcast. This time, we’re looking at another summer blockbuster: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, also known as Indiana Jones 5, also known as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s Child. This movie is unique among summer blockbusters, in that it was projected to make a lot of money, and it didn’t do that. This film has been out for several weeks now, and that has been long enough for officials to declare it a box office bomb. Ouch! Nevertheless, your hosts have taken it upon themselves to watch this two and a half hour movie to let you know what you missed by not seeing it. In this episode, we talk about Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Grand Theft Auto, de-aging technology, Jaws (Quint, Hooper), The Fast and the Furious (Diesel), Antonio Banderas, Dr. Strangelove, the Coen brothers, Gimli conventions, and the art of falling asleep in a movie theater. You won’t want to miss it, because if you do, you will be less connected to the zeitgeist. We also talk about Nazis, because duh! If you have comments on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Beyonce, please share them. We love hearing from our devoted base of one listener. Please enjoy this snob as much as we enjoyed doing it, which was a whole stinking lot. I’ll tell you one thing, you’ll enjoy this episode more than anyone enjoyed Shia LaBeouf’s role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Aliens. Fortunately, Shia is not in this movie, which means there are no scenes of a character swinging on jungle vines alongside monkeys. You’ll have to just find a way to do that in your own spare time, which we do on a weekly basis. We highly recommend it. In fact, you should probably listen to this episode while swinging around on jungle vines, just to set the mood.
