#86: The Jurassic Park Super Bowl Commercial
April 8, 2026

Greetings, Listener. Today on General Snobbery, we discuss the biggest hot-button issue of the current age: the Jurassic Park Super Bowl commercial. At the time of posting, the commercial is about four months old, but given the fact the commercial has crossed half a million views on YouTube, it’s become clear the impact is not receding. Well, your tireless wait for your Internet’s preeminent Jurassic Park scholars to dissect the commercial is finally over. Tune into this new episode to hear us discuss bad CGI, Coach Yoast, general hatred of Xfinity, Newman, purple Josh Brolin, who would win in a fight between Ridley Scott and James Cameron, the latest conspiracies regarding Robert Muldoon, and, of course, Samuel L. Jackson’s severed arm. Enjoy, and keep on Jurassic Parkin’.

#85: Jurassic World Rebirth: HWhat a Bad Movie
September 30, 2025

Hey Listener, we’re back! And we’re here to snob about a movie that nobody saw, Jurassic World: Rebirth. This is a very bad movie. There are dinosaurs, there are deaths, and there are many characters that you forget about the second you meet them. This is a movie that should not exist. And yet, it does, therefore we snobbed about it. Does it have anything to do with the previous movies? Basically not. Does it have anything to say about life in general? Nope. Is it so boring that one half of General Snobbery fell asleep shortly into the second act? You bet. So tune in for some good ole snobbery on a movie you’ve never seen and probably never will, because we can promise you this podcast is way more entertaining than this piece of crap movie.

The relationship between the Star Wars films and their queer fans is not exactly a love affair--it’s more unrequited than that. Fans of Star Wars produce tons of queer fanfic and gender-bending fan art everyday; but the Star Wars film franchise has refused to return the love.
