Bob Sargent joins Troy and I to discuss KING OF KONG ISLAND (1968). Or is it just KONG ISLAND? And what connection to King Kong does this movie actually have? Spoiler alert – none! Because Mr. Sargent has a soft spot in his heart (and head) for this bizarre Italian production we examine it for signs of sanity. None were found, but along the way we learned a little about ourselves. Sort of. And for some reason we also talked about 70's rock group StoneGround. I can't understand why. For the curious, KING OF KONG ISLAND (1968) is a movie of many parts. It is roughly 20% jungle mercenary movie; 20% mad scientist tale; 20% revenge story; 20% jungle girl adventure and 20% family melodrama. It is also 100% nuts! While much of the advertising for the film centers around the jungle girl sections of the story we come to the conclusion that Eva (or the Scared Monkey as she is referred to most often) could be removed from the film with little detriment to the story. Of course, this would have eliminated the film's nudity so I don't think anyone involved would have agreed to do this. But the film has so much going on that it is difficult to stop watching as the madness unfolds. We see stuntman turned actor Brad Harris beefcake up the place with his exciting dance moves and flinty abs. We see veteran Hollywood tough guy Marc Lawrence play a mad scientist/Bond villain using surgically altered gorillas to control a jungle cave. We witness plenty of animal stock footage. It all adds up to a featue length movie. Really. Even if you haven't seen this cinematic epic there are things in the episode to entertain you. Troy's alternate title suggestions are inventive and arguably better than any of the ones actually used. Bob's attempts to explain his lifelong fascination with this whacky film lead us from a sweaty apartment in the 1980's to modern 21st century life – pity his poor wife! And bonus points to the listeners that can pinpoint the moment when I gave up on presenting a plot synopsis. Eventually you have to accept that things have gotten away from you. If you have seen KING OF KONG ISLAND and have something to add to our discussion thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send your thoughts. Thank you for listening!

Inspired by several recent events relating to both Super Mario and Donkey Kong, Hyle and Dustin take an evenhanded look at the long and controversial debate about whether or not Mario's Mushroom Kingdom and Donkey Kong's Donkey Kong Island share the same physical world!

Peter Jackson made history with the release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but as far as he was concerned he was just getting warmed up.  A mere two years later saw him remaking King Kong, with the marketing department splashing his name all over the place so there could be no doubt that this was indeed a Peter Jackson film.Like with the LOTR hack and slash games, a video game was developed at the same time as the film with the actors reprising their roles, and it even released a few weeks before the movie premiered.  It's an adaptation of the film, a weird retelling of events that focuses on the gameplay experience rather than spend an hour wandering around a boat as a slow romance blossoms.  Developers Ubisoft Montpelier wanted to bring Kong Island to life, from the giant monkey to the dinosaurs, so it's not long before you're spearing insects and other native wildlife.Does King Kong accurately capture the spirit of dense and haunted Kong Island?  Does the focus on telling a cinematic story clash with the gameplay of shooting and spear throwing?  Or does King Kong, in trying to unite these ideas, fail to make the most of its medium?On this episode, we discuss:King Kong was praised by critics on release for its gorgeous graphics, minimalistic UI and reactive sound effects.  Have these elements held up in the wake of modern advancements in cinematic storytelling in video games?King Kong boasts some fascinating gameplay systems - the spreading of fire, how your spear interacts with bait, and the way animals eat each other in a deadly ecosystem.  In what ways does King Kong utilise these systems to create a deeper gameplay experience?How well does King Kong capture the aesthetic and spirit of the movie?  To what degree does Jack Black carry the story?We answer these questions and many more on the 94th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherKing Kong OST: Chance Thomas King Kong Widescreen and FOV fixThis only works with the ‘Gamer Edition' of King Kong, not the regular versionThe excellent Nintendo DS version that we didn't play for some reason How does the King Kong movie (2005) stand up when compared to the other King Kong films?  Are the other versions on different consoles worth playing (particularly the gba one)?  Did you find Jack Black as hilarious as we did?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!

Rage Against the Machine's Tim Commerford is arrested for climbing on the set at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards after his band lost the award for Best Rock Video to Limp Bizkit. The director of Rage's "Sleep Now in the Fire" video, Michael Moore, suggests Commerford was probably "just bored" by the show.  Britney Spears performed her hit single "Oops!...

Fun Facts: Two video games were released based on the series, both on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. The first, called simply Kong: The Animated Series, was released by Planet Interactive in 2002. The second was released by Majesco Entertainment in 2005, and was based on the direct-to-video film Kong: King of Atlantis. Details on Netflixs new animated series: Netflix took to Twitter revealed certain details about the upcoming project and stated that a shipwrecked crew would be reaching an island of monsters. The island has “one king to rule them all” before mentioning Skull Island is a new anime series set in Legendary's Monsterverse from Powerhouse Animations. A sympathetic clone version of him starred in the 2000 cartoon Kong: The Animated Series, in which he wrestled dinosaurs and romped around with his human buddies. However, there's a good chance Skull Island will not be aimed at kids, judging by its Netflix predecessors, which were also done by animation studio Powerhouse Animation Worst Ranked Kong Movie by Screen Crush: Kong: King of Atlantis (2005): This list starts out with an obscure, animated incarnation of King Kong that really should be forgotten. The only upside of Kong: King of Atlantis is that it's so far removed from the original King Kong story that you can pretend this is a completely different franchise. Kong: King of Atlantis was released straight to DVD as a tie-in to Kong: The Animated Series, so it's not to be taken seriously on its own. The plot is focused on an evil queen named Reptilia who tries to use Kong to control the people of Atlantis. He's rescued by a man who's a bargain bin version of Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet. It's not a good time. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
