Almost Equal Sequels Part XVIII: The Lost World: Jurassic Park

As I write this in August 2025, there is still an opportunity to watch incredible creatures eating folks in your local theaters.  No, I’m not talking about the unsettling weirdness that is Pedro Pascal in Fantastic Four: First Steps, you sillies!  I mean dinosaurs!  Honest to goodness, slathered with CGI dinosaurs!  Yes, there are probably …
