Remembering Jurassic Park's Sam Neill | It's the Pictures 225

In addition to talking about Sam Neill and his filmography, Evan and I talked about some topics in the news section I plan on doing more writing about soon. Those topics were about Sony's physical media plans moving forward and how Netflix isn't competing with other streaming sites, its real competition is YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Look for other articles on those topics soon.

I did share a list of Neill's movies in a more in-depth reporting on his passing, but I've ported a few of them over to here as we talked about during the show:

• Jurassic Park (1993) — Netflix, Peacock
• The Piano (1993) — Netflix (rent/buy on Prime Video, Apple TV)
• My Brilliant Career (1979) 
• The Hunt for Red October (1990) — Peacock, Paramount+, Netflix, Hulu
• Dead Calm (1989)
• Event Horizon (1997) — Netflix, Tubi (free with ads), Paramount+
• In the Mouth of Madness (1994) 
• Thor: Ragnarok (2017) — Disney+
• Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) — Netflix, Prime Video, Pluto TV (free with ads)

The episode begins with a discussion about the late Sam Neill. Max Covill and Evan Crean also discuss the impact of streaming services on physical media and the film industry. They provide updates on the summer movie game and share their thoughts on recent movie releases. The conversation covers the life and career of Sam Neill, focusing on his notable roles in films like Jurassic Park, The Hunt for Red October, and In the Mouth of Madness. It also delves into his later work in movies like The Hunt for the Wilderpeople and TV shows like Peaky Blinders. The hosts also share their recent movie viewings and thoughts on the Odyssey, with a focus on the film's themes, performances, and production.
