Jurassic Park: Mystery Science Theater 200 Mil. BCE

Hold Onto Your Fossils!

A One-of-a-Kind Movie Riffing Experience at the Putnam Museum

Join the Putnam Museum & Science Center for a wildly entertaining special screening of Jurassic Park in the immersive GIANT Screen Theater, featuring live commentary in the spirit of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Watch the dinosaur classic like never before as experts and comedians lovingly roast the movie’s prehistoric inaccuracies while celebrating everything that made it an iconic blockbuster.

Leading the expedition into cinematic chaos are:

• Dr. Marcus Eriksen – science communicator, educator, and professional wrangler of questionable dinosaur facts
• Chris Chandler – Putnam Museum Paleontologist and resident fossil expert
• A lineup of local comedians – armed with sharp wit, bad puns, and absolutely no fear of velociraptors

As giant dinosaurs thunder across the massive screen, the panel will provide live comedic commentary, scientific corrections, and fascinating real-world paleontology insights. Ever wondered:

• Could Velociraptors really open doors?
• Did T. rex actually see movement like a video game enemy?
• Why are the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park from the wrong time periods?
• And just how chaotic would a real dinosaur theme park be under OSHA regulations?

Expect an evening packed with laughs, movie trivia, audience reactions, and educational deep-dives disguised as comedy. Whether you’re a die-hard dinosaur nerd, a movie buff, or just someone who enjoys hearing scientists gently bully Hollywood, this event promises a prehistoric amount of fun.
