Show Notes

This week we are looking at perhaps one of the biggest kaiju films of the last 20 years. A film that takes special effects into a new era for the genre, by an Academy Award winning director. Will the latest, greatest remake of the original 1933 movie outshine the original? Will it symbiotically add to the mythos of the character? Will we find out what really killed the beast in this modern Prometheus? Find out along with us as we discuss Peter Jacksons magnum opus in 2005's "King Kong"
