As a special feature of The Fanbase Weekly podcast, the Fanbase Feature focuses on and celebrates a specific element of geek culture.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon and special guests Chris Thorne (sketch card artist – Star Wars, The Walking Dead, Alien 3) and Matthew Noe (Lead Collection & Knowledge Management Librarian for Harvard Medical School – Countway Library, board member of the Graphic Medicine International Collection and the American Library Association, Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table) participate in a thorough discussion regarding author Michael Crichton’s The Lost World (1995) in light of the novel’s 30th anniversary, with topics including the differences between the novel and Spielberg’s film adaptation, what – if anything – the book has to say about extinction, Crichton’s feelings on the evils of corporate science, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for The Lost World abound in this panel discussion!)
