About this listen

On this episode of Remainders we finish our Kong Marathon with Peter Jackson’s 2005 King Kong. Released immediately after the Lord of the Rings trilogy, we check out how much of an influence that trilogy had on Peter Jackson’s love for the original movie. We offer our rankings for the marathon and see where this blockbuster holds up in Hollywood history.

Other topics include Peter Jackson’s horror roots, iconic Jack Black roles, Andy Serkis, Lord of the Rings, Christmas time movie watching, the Bears beating the Packers, new 4k releases for Troll 2 and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy, first thoughts on Avatar: Fire and Ash, and James Bond movies with John Barry scores.
