Episode 1: Moon, Station Eleven & Jurassic World: Rebirth

The first episode of What Have I Missed? drifts between space, survival and Spielberg nostalgia. Alex revisits Duncan Jones’ Moon, tracing Sam Rockwell’s quietly shattering performance and its questions of identity and isolation. Station Eleven becomes a meditation on beauty in the face of collapse, art as a form of survival - before Jurassic World: Rebirth closes the loop, reviving the wonder of the original while carving its own path.

Let’s get into it.
