About this listen

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1933 classic King Kong. We begin our King Kong Marathon with the horror movie that started it all – everything from Godzilla, Jurassic Park, and every special effect in Hollywood all goes back to the Eighth Wonder of the World. We talk about the innovative stop motion, the role of Beauty and the Beast in cinema, how pre-code Hollywood affected the movies, and the importance of Kong in cinema history.

Other topics include other Kong movies and the upcoming 70s version, the role of practical effects over all of movie history, other favorite monster movies, the upcoming season of Stranger Things, James Cameron and Avatar, disaster films, and Zevon’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
