Tremors, Dinosaurs and Jurassic Park…
Hey South Africa… I’m film fanatic and movie critic, Spling!
Looking for the Live Event Tracker?
We’re watching Steven Spielberg’s classic, Jurassic Park on Showmax or at the Go Drive In as a main feature at 8pm sharp on Saturday, 28 November (GMT+2). Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough, Jurassic Park tells the story of what goes wrong when man resurrects an island of dinosaurs.
Before we rewind to where it all began, we’re watching Battle at Big Rock… a Jurassic World spin-off and short film by Colin Trevorrow at 7pm.
Special Guests
Joining me as special guests for the next Bingeing with Spling watch party is gaming and tech guru, Grant Hinds. A YouTube and Twitch superstar, Grant is quite possibly the biggest Jurassic Park you’ll meet in the southern hemisphere! Professor Jonah Choiniere is the closest thing we’ve got to Indiana Jones, who will in conversation with Spling about paleontology, major finds in South Africa and Jurassic Park. Local muso extraordinaire, John Bartmann of the band Pravda, will be kicking off proceedings with a special performance.
