Mr. DNA’s Guide to Franchise Extinction
Where the only thing more dangerous than the dinosaurs… is a studio with sequel rights.
Welcome back to Camp Creep, where the fire’s crackling, the marshmallows are mostly ash, and the dinosaurs are somehow still being rebooted. One minute, Tommy James is just getting his steps in, and the next—BOOM—he’s teleporting into Sabrina Ace’s personal audio nightmare: a soundscape straight from Jurassic Park. Is it a T-Rex? A raptor? Chris Pratt trying to act with his hand out again?
As the s’mores burn and the sarcasm flows like dino DNA in a malfunctioning lab, the duo unpacks the timeline from Spielberg’s majestic thunder lizard opera to Jurassic World’s “corporate synergy with claws.” We’re talking about the glory of the original and the “excuse me??” of everything that came after—clicker raptors, invisible dinosaurs, and yes... the locusts. Cloned. Weaponized. And utterly unnecessary.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll probably whisper “life finds a way” as another beloved childhood memory gets stomped into a pile of CGI rubble.
Do you like the way Mr. DNA says “Dino-sawrrr” too? Well, if you enroll at Night School Horror and slap us with a 5-star rating, we’ll take your DNA, mix it with your favorite dinosaur, and create something truly unholy.
