Description

Welcome to Offscript, the podcast where literature meets cinema. Each week, hosts Bri & Alli compare books to their movie adaptations — exploring what worked, what didn’t, and whether the book really was better than the movie. From timeless classics to today’s bestsellers, we break down characters, themes, and the creative choices that shape stories on page and screen. 

🎬 This Week on Offscript: Jurassic Park — Book vs. Movie 

This week, Bri & Alli revisit the thrilling world of Jurassic Park, comparing Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel to Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1993 film adaptation. 

Join us as we explore: 

  • How the book’s scientific and philosophical depth compares to the movie’s blockbuster spectacle 
  • The differences in tone, pacing, and character development 
  • What was changed, added, or lost in translation from page to screen 

Story Summary: 

Paleontologists Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, along with mathematician Ian Malcolm, are invited to tour billionaire John Hammond’s island theme park — home to dinosaurs cloned from prehistoric DNA. But when the park’s security systems fail, chaos erupts, and the visitors must fight to survive.
