Mars Attacks & The Lost World: Jurassic Park (with Devon Hansen & Matthew Hayes)

In the mid-90s, Tim Burton and Steven Spielberg were two of the most beloved directors in Hollywood. Spielberg was coming off his first Oscar for "Schindler's List" while Burton was riding the hot streak of Batman movies, " Edward Scissorhands," "Beetlejuice" and the Oscar-winning "Ed Wood." Burton's luck ran out with his first critical and financial bomb, "Mars Attacks!" featuring a stacked ensemble of actors like Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Natalie Portman, Pierce Brosnan and Sarah Jessica Parker. Meanwhile, Spielberg followed up the massive success of "Jurassic Park" with his first sequel "The Lost World," bringing Jeff Goldblum back to the franchise with rising stars Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore in tow. Musician and writer Devon Hansen joins the podcast for the first time to discuss the nostalgia of "Mars Attacks!" and Burton's fall from grace. In the second half of the episode, cinematographer Matthew Hayes returns to the podcast for a look back at Spielberg's 50 year career and how he phoned it in with "The Lost World." You can find Devon on Instagram and Bandcamp and Matthew at his official website.
