Jurassic Park: Rebirth is the latest installment in the
Jurassic World series. And while dinosaur paleontologist
Matt Lamanna has loved dinos — and the
Jurassic Park franchise — his whole life, he says some of the films are more accurate than others. So how accurate are the ones unveiled in this latest movie? Matt gets into it with
Short Wave host Regina G. Barber, who got a tour of the dinosaur exhibits where Matt works: the
Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. They also discuss the accuracy of the beloved giant creatures in the newest
Jurassic World film, as well as some of the hits from the franchise's archive — like the dinosaur he was partially responsible for discovering.
