Ditch the TARDIS for Tokyo Tower! Hamish Steele⁠⁠ returns for Toho's second attempt at King Kong, which includes a supervillain named Dr. Who (!!!) creating Mechani-Kong, a giant robot ape version of the lonely and horny real deal. We get into this movie's origins as a Rankin-Bass cartoon -- and the on-set conflicts caused by those American co-producers -- along with all the James Bond DNA (including a literal Bond girl), iconic English dubbing, and how this is a better sequel to classic King Kong than you'd expect.⁠Pre-order Go-Man: Champion of Earth!Part of⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiA Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David KalatWikizillaLost Media Wiki

In a stunning conclusion to Season 2, Joe and Adam revisit the epic (forgotten) classic, King Kong Escapes (1967). Loosely based off the nearly lost Kong cartoon series, The King Kong Show (Rankin/Bass), this movie is like all the best parts of Saturday morning cartoons. In this film, you have it all: Kong, Mechani-kong, the evil Dr. Who, Madame Piranha, and more! Also, Season 3 starts next week as we examine the Frankenstein series of films by Hammer Films, most of which star your favorite Star Wars character, Peter Cushing.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Neil Riebe makes a dangerous journey to Hong Kong to join Nate for another “Godzilla Redux” with Son of Godzilla. This film was made in the “Year of the Kaiju,” 1967, and along with King Kong Escapes, was Toho's big contribution to it. The studio's “B team,” led by director Jun Fukuda, returned to helm this island adventure…that infamously introduced fans to “the Jar Jar Binks of the Godzilla franchise,” Minilla (aka Minya). But it also has some impressive insect kaiju. Believe it or not, this was made as a date movie…for very Japanese reasons! All this and more in the latest MIFV!

After Godzilla leapt to the big screen in 1954, he quickly became Japan's most recognizable pop culture expression of lasting trauma and remorse over the nuclear end of their involvement in WWII. In the 1960s, Godzilla-inspired kaiju movies took this same metaphor of an unstoppable destructive force that indiscriminately kills both the innocent and the guilty with equal fury, and made it fun! Carlo Vanstiphout of Back Row Cinema and CRUD Buddies shares his expertise on his favorite era of Japanese monster movies and help us understand how Japan learned to stop worrying and love the atomic monsters. While Godzilla is discussed in detail, Carlo focuses mostly on Big G's Toho friends, as well as a certain fire-powered turtle and a stone giant from Daiei (Toho Studio's main kaiju competition).In this episode, Carlo navigates through the several dozen kaiju movies made in the Sixties and chooses six that he truly enjoys and thinks best represent what was happening in the genre at the time. Left to their own devices, Bart and Jenna could have blundered through these movies and perhaps drawn a few conclusions about the appeal of rubber monsters in the ‘60s. But thankfully Carlo is on hand to explain what the hell is going on in these colorful, outrageously fun, and often perplexing batch of films.The following films are discussed:• Mothra (1961) モスラ Directed by Ishirô Honda Starring Furankî Sakai, Hiroshi Koizumi, Kyôko Kagawa• Frankenstein vs. Baragon (a.k.a. Frankenstein Conquers The World) (1965) フランケンシュタイン対地底怪獣 Directed by Ishirô Honda Starring Nick Adams, Kumi Mizuno, Tadao Takashima• Daimajin (1966) 大魔神 Directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda Starring Miwa Takada, Yoshihiko Aoyama, Jun Fujimaki• Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (a.k.a. Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster) (1966) ゴジラ・エビラ・モスラ 南海の大決闘 Directed by Jun Fukuda Starring Akira Takarada, Kumi Mizuno, Chôtarô Tôgin• King Kong Escapes (1967) キングコングの逆襲 Directed by Ishirô Honda Starring Rhodes Reason, Mie Hama, Linda Miller• Gamera vs. Guiron (1969) ガメラ対大悪獣ギロン Directed by Noriaki Yuasa Starring Nobuhiro Kajima, Miyuki Akiyama, Christopher Murphy

 This episode we have a rather odd combo for you: two animated series that couldn't be more different! We'll start with Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, the story of a caveman and his dinosaur companion in a savage primordial world, and then we'll switch gears and look at the latest Star Wars animated series, The Bad Batch, which follows a squad of clone troopers after the fall of the Republic.Primal follows the adventures of Spear, a caveman, and Fang, his dinosaur companion. Both of them lost their families and so have bonded. So far there have been ten episodes. It's definitely not for kids - there are extremely gory, bloody battles with no punches pulled. But the stories are interesting and run from pure adventure to way out fantasy. Primal sets itself apart from many shows in that there is no dialogue in the show - Spear, the caveman, has no language and communicates only in grunts and shouts. The story is conveyed via the action and the interactions between the characters. The show also uses color very well to establish mood. Hopefully there will be a new season later this year.The Bad Batch follows Hunter, Tech, Echo, Wrecker, and Crosshair - Clone Force 99, aka The Bad Batch. This group of "defective" clones goes on the run after the end of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. The series fills a space in the Star Wars timeline and rather than focus on the Skywalkers or the Jedi, looks at things from the perspective of the clones, who were being replaced by the stormtroopers -recruits from around the galaxy, rather than clones grown to serve the Empire. There's been some strong episodes and some not so strong ones, but overall, it's provided some great insights to this era of Star Wars.There are a ton of other animated shows out now or about to come out, and we'll throw around some thoughts on them too. Between all the movies, live action, and animated shows, there's a ton of media for geeks right now!Before we get to the Sensor Sweep, just a reminder that there are two, count 'em two, Godzillafests coming your way this month in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the Balboa Theater in San Francisco, August 20-22, they'll be featuring King Kong Crashes Godzillafest, with special guest Linda Miller, from King Kong Escapes and The Green Slime. They'll show a ton of movies, including the original Kong, King Kong (1976), King Kong Escapes, Kong: Skull Island, and a smattering of Godzilla films. On the weekend of August 27- 29, it's Legendary Godzillafest, featuring the Legendary films, as well as the Millennium series, and special guest will be motion capture actor T.J. Storm, who played Godzilla. Bob will be on the radio talking about Godzillafest, along with Ms. Miller and Mr. Storm, on August 16 on radio station KFJC 89.7FM with Rob Emmett at 6 pm pacific time (you can also find them online).Commander Larry has an appropriate Sensor Sweep - it's Masters of the Universe Mini Muglets available at Walmart.

Finally, the Black Widow movie has been released! It's been delayed over a year, but now it's out in the theater (as well as on Disney Plus), and your intrepid crew has made the journey back to the theater to check it out. In this SPOILER-FILLED review, we'll share our thoughts on the film and how it works with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a bonus, we also discuss the Disney Plus series  Loki, which takes the villain/anti-hero through an adventure that has major implications for the rest of the MCU.Black Widow takes place between Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War, and provides a glimpse into Natasha's life before she became an Avenger. On the run from Thunderbolt Ross, Natasha winds up returning home after her long lost "Sister" contacts her, and she learns that the Red Room program that turned her into an assassin is still operating.The Planet 8 crew discusses what we liked about the film, the performances, the little bits of connective tissue to other MCU films, and so much more. This film introduces some major characters, including Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, aka the "other" Black Widow, David Harbour as the Red Guardian and the villain Taskmaster, whose identity is rather controversial. If nothing else, it was a great spotlight for Scarlett Johansson and a good send off for the character.The Loki TV show was a mixed bag for the Planet 8 crew. Certainly Tom Hiddleston did a wonderful job in providing us with a Loki of real substance who goes through extensive character growth. The story itself was complex and with the timestream fractured, should feed directly into Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. What other Marvel properties might we see come out of this? Phase 4 looks to be full of surprises!Our Sensor Sweep brings us some great shows coming to the Bay Area. In August, there will be two Godzillafest shows at the  Balboa Theater in San Francisco.  On August 20-22, it will be King Kong Crashes Godzillafest, with a number of King Kong kaiju films as well as many Godzilla films, and special guest Linda Miller from King Kong Escapes. Then on August 27-29, it's Legendary Godzillafest, featuring many Legendary Godzilla films, with special guest TJ Storm, motion capture artist who played Godzilla. Both weekends will have vendors with tons of goodies. And there will even be a show t-shirt.

Topic: King Kong     The move is over, and we’re back with new episodes.  And we pick ourselves back up with one of our more recent topic, on our way to their epic faceoff, we’re studying King Kong, The Eighth Wonder of the World.  Unlike his nemesis, Godzilla, King Kong has a far smaller collection of movies by comparison, but his impact on American pop culture and history and certainly been around in America just as long as his Japanese Counter Part.  And as we await their epic battle, we learn a bit about the massive ape, and study his movies to see what we can gleam off the future encounter.     Creation Created by Merian C. Cooper for his title movie, King Kong (1933), young Cooper was fascinated with primates.  Upon growing older, he eventually started working in the motion picture industry and after production finished on The Four Feathers(1929), he started thinking his next picture would be something to do with Primates.   A year later, he found himself at RKO, a major movie studio, and Cooper began development on what would be King Kong, deciding that his primate would be giant sized.  He had actually decided the ending of the film first, liking the idea of his giant primate fighting war planes atop of the New York Insurance Building.  Famously, Cooper liked the idea of pitting a giant primate against a dinosaur, but decided to focus on one main character instead.   The name for King Kong took some development however.  Cooper originally like names that started with a K, but found himself having a difficult time coming something that sounded mysterious and catchy.  In original scripts, the title monster was only referred to as ‘The Beast’, but the studio did not like the generic name.  Eventually, after notes from the studio, Cooper landed on the name ‘Kong’, but in worried it would sound like a docudrama instead, like other one word films at the time.  He added ‘King’ to differentiate it, thus became King Kong.     Fictional History King Kong is a massive Monster Primate, who originates from ‘Skull Island’, a mysterious island that King Kong lives with other prehistoric mammals and creatures.  The island is thus named due to the skull shaped mountain that lies at the center of the island.  The island is also home to the ancestors of a once highly civilized nation that previously built a wall to keep in the monsters on the island.  Though the name was never used in the original 1933 film, the name was featured in the novelization that came out two months prior to the movie, and has since stuck.   Though described as prehistoric Ape, King Kong has a number of human like qualities, notably, his ability to walk upright in an anthropomorphic manner.  He is described as being upwards of 40-50 feet tall, he was later rescaled to be 18-25 feet tall in the original 1933 film.  In most initial western versions, King Kong is roughly 25 feet tall, however in later Japanese versions, he was scaled in size to be similar to Godzilla.  Most recently, in the 2017 film, he was 104 feet tall, and finally 337 feet tall to fight against Godzilla in 2021.   In most early versions of the character, King Kong is a villain, however, in more recent films, he’s given a sympathetic story, and is even the hero in some of these movies.      History While a major film icon in the west, the character’s intellectual property owners have been split between various parties through history, making the character a difficult character to track.  Initially, the rights were thought to belong with Cooper, but in 1962, when the character was licensed to Toho to make King Kong vs Godzilla (1962), Cooper sued RKO.  Even though there was quite a number of evidence in Cooper’s favor, some key documents were lost between his time in the military and his return home, which the courts found that RKO owned the character.   Eventually, concern over the rights would come up again in 1975 when Universal Studios were trying to make a King Kong Film.  Eventually Universal Studios went to court, arguing that the King Kong novelization and serialization were now in the public domain, but that Universal couldn’t infringe on the original 1933 film.  A later ruling affirmed that the Cooper estate has owned the rights to King Kong’s name, story, and character, which were later sold to universal in 1976.      The character himself has appeared in less than a dozen films over the last 88 years.    King Kong & Son Of Kong (1933) The initial films released by RKO, with the success of the initial King Kong movie, a subsequent film was released later in the year.   King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) After the success of Godzilla in Japan, they looked to make further movies in the franchise.  This moving being the 3rd movie in the Godzilla franchise, it was also the first time either character was portrayed in a color film, showing what they would look like in color.  This King Kong was different from its original western counter part, which included: Coming from Faro island instead of Skull Island Being able to absorb electricity Being same relative size as Godzilla, (100 feet) The film is famous for having to two creatures attacking different parts of Japan, before getting together on the summit of Mount Fuji and fighting each other.  In the end, both tumble in to the ocean, with only King Kong rising up from the depths and swimming back to Faro Island.   King Kong Escapes (1967) In another first, predating Mecha-Godzilla, this 1967 film offered a Mecha-King Kong, a similar mechanical version of the title character.  The film sees a mechanical King Kong digging for a mysterious element, but the robot goes haywire, which results in our heroes capturing King Kong and taking him to Mecha-King Kong to finish each other off.  They eventually can’t do it, and instead somehow get to Tokyo from the North Pole, and recreate the famous ending of the 1933 film, this time using the Tokyo Tower instead.  After defeating Mecha-King Kong, King Kong swims back to his island, never to be heard again.  This is also the version time King Kong seems to have a handler so sorts, as there is a woman who has the ability to control King Kong.    King Kong (1976) A modern remake of the original 1933 film.  This film was what started the law suits with Universal Pictures, as Paramount Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis were attempting to remake the original film, and bought the rights from RKO-General.  The film is a largely faithful remake, but take places in 1976 instead of the original 1933 time frame.   King Kong Lives (1986) A sequel to the 1976 film, King Kong had been alive the entire time, but is currently dying.  In order to save him, they need to transfuse blood from a similar creature, which is where introduce a ‘Lady Kong’, and another similarly sized King Kong primate who helps save King Kong. The film sees King Kong die after the events to save Lady Kong, but Lady Kong gives birth to their son, and returns to Borneo to live peacefully with their son. King Kong (2005) This is the Peter Jackson film that took 3 hour to watch.  A retelling of the 1933 film from a 1933 perspective, it focuses on a film maker, who hires a crew to get footage of the amazing creature, before bringing it back to New York.  The film was well received and earned top marks for its special effects and acting. It was also the first live action film in nearly 20 years.   Kong: Skull Island (2017) As a part of Legendary’s MonsterVerse, which focuses on King Kong and Godzilla movies created in the west.  The movie take places in the same world as Legendary’s other 2014 and 2019 Godzilla movies.  The film follows Monarch, as it searches to map out the various ‘Titan’ monsters around the world.  The Film does a good job of introducing other monsters and setting up the world, and stars Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson.  The movie also teases Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, which was the next major movie to come out.   Godzilla vs Kong (2021) The newest feature, which is a sequel to the 2017 film and 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters.       King Kong in Pop Culture There have been multiple illusions to King Kong in various media over the last 88 years, ranging from parodies and humorous references, to near duplication.  Famously, scenes have been reference and re-used in various cartoons, such as the Simpsons, Futurama, The Muppets, and more.  Other movies have references scenes from King Kong as well, including the Nutty Professor, Lego Batman: The Movie, and even Jurassic Park’s dinosaurs were based off the films.    Donkey Kong Franchise The 1981 Nintendo franchise about hero trying to save his girl friend from the title character.  The fact that you travel up buildings that and face off against a large ape were clear illusions, as Nintendo wanted to make a King Kong game.  The character himself would continue on as something much different as the 90s moved on, moving in to a hero role, and being re-imagined as a primate family that fought to save their island.  He was named Donkey Kong, to mean ‘Stubborn Gorilla’.   Rampage Franchise An 1986 arcade classic sees three Kaiju sized monsters destroying a city.  These monsters include a Godzilla/Ymir analog in Lizzie, a giant werewolf in Ralph, and a King Kong like gorilla names George.  The series has several remakes over the years, usually coinciding with new video game hardware and platforms at they came out.  It was adapted in to a film in 2018, which include the Rock leads a rare Albino-Western-Lowland Gorilla that knows sign language, and eventually grows to city-toppling proportions.     Homework: Kong: Skull Island (2017): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OULoar_y7H4 Godzilla vs Kong (2021): Available on HBO Max and in Theaters

It’s hard to overstate the influence of 1933’s “King Kong.” But this episode isn’t about that film. It’s about the two movies produced by Toho Studios that imported and featured the great ape: “King Kong vs. Godzilla” and “King Kong Escapes.” These are some of the most freewheeling giant monster movies you’ll ever lay eyes on; that may begin to explain their continuing influence.

This is it! We're finally talking about the King - King Kong that is! The big ape has been one of Hollywood's (and the world's) biggest stars since he first showed up on the scene in 1933. At the time, the original King Kong was cutting edge, and it influenced many later generations. Kong is a part of pop culture, and new versions of the eighth wonder of the world keep getting made. There is something universally appealing about this unique and powerful figure.We'll go through the long history of Kong in films (and a little bit on TV), starting of course with the classic original 1933 King Kong, directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack, with ground-breaking stop-motion effects by pioneer Willis O'Brien. The exciting story, the ferocious  Kong, and the whole beauty and the beast angle, made the film a huge success. It was quickly followed up with a sequel, also in 1933, Son of Kong, which was amusing but no where near the success of the original.In the 60s, through a somewhat circuitous route, Kong wound up across the Pacific and got a job with Toho Studios, making King Kong vs Godzilla in 1962, and King Kong Escapes in 1967. There's a connection to the 1966 Rankin-Bass King Kong Show cartoon too!Near to our hearts, even though it's clearly a flawed film, is the 1976 version of King Kong. The film may be best remembered today for the amazing John Berkey poster showing Kong astride the World Trade Center towers. We'll talk about the controversy over the robot Kong and how the great make-up genius Rick Baker played Kong. Bob took the hit for the team and watched King Kong Lives, and gives a rundown of that sequel.If you're excited to hear what we think about Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of King Kong, well, you may want to ratchet back your expectations. We have some strong opinions on the film, and that's all we'll say here!Finally, we finish strong as we enthusiastically discuss Kong Skull Island (2017), which took a very different approach to Kong, and will lead to a rematch with Godzilla next year!Larry's Kong and Bruce mugs, seen front and backOn this episode's Sensor Sweep, our mission commander, Larry, shares his love of tiki mugs, and shows off two: a Bruce the Shark from Jaws mug from Mondo, and a Kong mug from Tiki Farm.

Hello, kaiju lovers! In the latest episode of the “Kong Quest” (which is finally mentioned by name on the air!), Nathan is joined once again by author and “Golden Ticket Tourist” Nick Hayden of the Derailed Trains of Thought podcast to discuss the wacky but fun King Kong Escapes. Like with the 1933 film, this is Nick's first time seeing this 1967 Toho classic, which was the second (and sadly last) of Toho's Kong films, as it was made in the last year they held the rights to the Eighth Wonder. This is a first for the show as it's the first tokusatsu film directed by the great Ishiro Honda covered on the podcast. It's a crazy nexus of ideas borrowed from other productions and some that seemed to anticipate others. For one thing, its villain, Dr. Who, is both a derivation and a precursor to the famous British TV series! Nathan and Nick also note some funny connections to Rankin-Bass' classic holiday special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer given that they collaborated with Toho on this live-action cartoon. The Toku Topic is how Toho's Japanese-American co-productions paralleled Japan-America relations. Stay tuned after the credits for a Marvel-style stinger and an important announcement.
