If you heard this week's episode of Underunderstood, you know that Adrianne talked to Ana Maria Quintana, who was the script supervisor on Jurassic Park, as well as many other films you're probably seen.

Hi patrons,
This episode was recorded this past Monday, January 4. We are severely shaken by the storming of the U.S. Capitol yesterday facilitated by the president and 140-some members of Congress. No doubt many of you, particularly our American listeners, feel the same way.
