Cian is a massive Kong fan, and after years of resigning Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake to the ‘dud’ bin, he dusts off this 3-hour love letter to the original and gives it another shake. Join us at the cabin in the woods as we discuss:
-my history with the original and Jackson’s Kong
-the history of CGI used for creature effects
-Jackson’s bloated, indulgent nature
-Jackson’s love for Kong
-The history of the ‘lost world’ genre
-Colonialism in King Kong
-The effect of Jurassic Park on movie dinosaurs
-The ecology of Skull Island
