Iedere maand zetten we in onze podcast een klassieker in het zonnetje en we starten deze kakelverse rubriek met een oudje: King Kong van regisseur Merian C. Cooper uit 1933. De film staat steevast in de lijst van favoriete films van Richard, maar wat vinden de andere mannen eigenlijk van de film waarin de grote gorilla zijn opwachting maakt? Is een film van ruim 90 jaar oud eigenlijk nog wel een beetje te bekijken? Beluister de gehele aflevering via de welbekende podcast-kanalen of bekijk ‘m met beeld via youtube.com/filmerds.

In this episode I spoke with Michael F. Blake on his latest book "The Cavalry Trilogy: John Ford, John Wayne, And The Making Od Three Classic Westerns". Like other filmmakers in post-WWII Hollywood, John Ford (already a three-time Best Directing Oscar winner), longed for the freedom and independence to make his own films, away from the dictates of studio executives. Then, in 1946, Ford and producer Merian C. Cooper (King Kong) decided to form their own production company, Argosy Productions. But their first venture was a financial flop, burdening the new company with heavy debt.

C'est film clé de lʹhistoire du cinéma, sorti en 1933, avec des images fortes qui impriment notre rétine à jamais. Si je vous dis un immense singe sur lʹEmpire State Building, descendu par des avions, vous savez tout de suite de quoi nous parlons. Car cʹest aussi simple que cela : King Kong est une icône. Le singe le plus célèbre de lʹhistoire du cinéma, un animal fantastique, un gorille monstrueux, gigantesque, sauvage mais touchant. Une création due à la folie de deux réalisateurs complètement allumés et fans dʹaction : Ernest B. Schoedsack et Merian C. Cooper. Ce nʹest pas lʹadaptation dʹun livre dʹépoque, mais bel est bien une idée originale née de lʹimagination de ces deux hommes qui tournent des films entre deux autres projets, toujours par peur de sʹennuyer. Kong est leur immense bébé. Ce personnage de singe démesuré nʹest que le reflet de ses créateurs, un chef-dʹœuvre dʹinventivité, de créativité. Mais il y a un autre homme quʹil faut citer : Willis OʹBrien. Cʹest lui le décorateur et le maquettiste qui est derrière les effets spéciaux révolutionnaires qui donnent vie à King Kong, ce monstre dʹHollywood qui nous narre quelque chose de plus profond quʹune forêt exotique, une starlette kidnappée, et des gratte-ciel new-yorkais. Vous êtes prêtes ? Prêts ? Alors partons à lʹaventure, à la recherche du roi singe, de King Kong….le bateau pour Skull Island nous attend. Embarquement immédiat.

On fête les 90 ans de King Kong sur notre podcast avec Thomas Gilbert, journaliste de L' Ecran Fantastique qui a publié un passionnant hors-série sur le sujet. Le singe le plus célèbre du 7eme art En 1933, les spectateurs, médusés, découvraient au cinéma un singe géant se hisser du haut de l'Empire State Building avant d'affronter une horde d'avions. 90 ans plus tard, cette séquence symbolisant la lutte entre l'animal et l'homme reste toujours aussi iconique. Grâce à la réalisation moderne de Merian C. Cooper et Ernest B. Schoedsack, King Kong est depuis un classique qui a connu plusieurs versions (notamment cette de Peter Jackson en 2005). Entre le tournage en parallèle des Chasses du Conte Zaroff dans les décors du film, les doutes de la société de production RKO, les différentes maquettes du singe, les coulisses de ce classique fut une passionnante aventure cinématographique. Le monstre de Skull Island continue toujours de naviguer à travers les époques. Sa récente renaissance avec Godzilla à Hollywood prouve que nous n'avons pas encore terminé avec le roi des singes.
The big ape turns 90 and we couldn't resist a longer episode - there's so much to talk about! Perhaps the first kaiju film, KING KONG set other firsts in special effects, music, and screaming beauties. The good, the bad, and the campy: it's on full display in Kong: The Eighth Wonder of the World! Thanks for listening, friends.

On Episode 102 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve and Skye are joined by returning guest host and writer for Film ‘89, filmmaker Martin Kessler, to celebrate the 90th anniversary of a monumental classic of cinema, 1933's King Kong. This beloved monster movie from the filmmaking team of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack employed then revolutionary stop-motion animation to bring not just the film's titular character to life, but a whole host of dinosaurs and other inhabitants of Skull Island. Featuring the original scream-queen, Fay Wray, as novice actress Ann Darrow, Robert Armstrong as desperate filmmaker Carl Denham and Bruce Cabot as daring sailor, Jack Driscoll, King Kong is arguably the most influential creature feature ever made and is discussed here along with the King Kong's legacy which has spawned a long-running series of films that's still going strong today.
Directed by Merian C. Cooper and released in 1933, King Kong follows a film crew, venturing to the far away island Skull Island to film footage for their next movie. In dong so, however the leading lady is taken as tribute to the island's God, a giant gorilla named Kong. The crew, fearful for the young starlet's safety sets out on a rescue mission that soon gets corrupted by greed and fame, setting off a string of action that will change the lives of everyone involved. Featuring countless camera tricks, terrific props, and ground-breaking stop-motion animation, King Kong is an ageless wonder that still packs a punch 90 years later.
The Cinema Sideshow this week is hosted by Zeke Morgan-Hind and Jake De Agrela. This week on the show, the boys give their non-spoilers thoughts on the conclusion to both HBO shows: 'Barry' & 'Succession'. Also, a discussion of the classic monster movie icon from Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, 'King Kong' (1933).
On this episode of Our American Stories, from the time he was a boy, Merian C. Cooper wanted to be an adventurer, a wish that propelled him into journalism, the National Guard, military aviation, two world wars. Amid these, he became a movie producer and writer, working on some cinematic classics, including King Kong in 1933. He even played one of the pilots in the film.

For our Paramount 1943 episode, just a couple of typical comedies, as far as John Douglas Eames is concerned: Preston Sturges' The Palm Beach Story, starring Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea, a comedy of remarriage in which the screwballs are no longer the central couple, and Mitchell Leisen's cross-class comedy with a number of twists, No Time For Love, with Colbert and Fred MacMurray. We try to figure out what these movies, coming at the end of the screwball comedy cycle, have to say about love, sex, class, wealth, and gender in America in the early 1940s. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment we discuss Merian C. Cooper's relentlessly vicious King Kong (1933) as a kind of unconsciously Verhoevian nightmare “family film”.

Antes de los superhéroes, antes de los héroes galácticos, antes de Dune, Blade Runner, Alien, Terminator e Indiana Jones, existió King Kong. Espectáculo supremo, heredero directo de la tradición circense, de la literatura fantástica de del cambio de siglo y de las primeras décadas de la cinematografía, Kong aparece a principios de los años 30 (en los comienzos de la era sonora) y sienta las bases de lo que durante el resto del siglo XX entenderemos como cine de entretención, aventura y efectos especiales. Su irrupción en nuestro imaginario —coronada por un éxito de taquilla sin precedentes hasta ese momento— adelantó la obsesión de sucesivas generaciones con las narrativas fantásticas y tecnológicas; pero también fue eco de pulsiones más profundas y acaso persistentes: la relación entre violencia e inconsciente, entre bestialidad y morbidez, entre lo bello y lo extraño. Puesto en el papel, Kong parece un vestigio de tiempos pasados y superados, pero otra cosa es verlo en pantalla, imperando entre la luz y la oscuridad. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

Warner Bros executive George Feltenstein takes us through the September 2022 Blu-ray releases from the Warner Archive. We kick off the discussion with the release of two TV series on Blu-ray. First is the popular comedy “Young Sheldon” season 5, which includes a 100th episode retrospective featurette titled, "Time Flies When You're Having Fun: Young Sheldon at 100." The 2nd series is the bittersweet sixth and final season Blu-ray of the fan-favorite show "Lucifer," which includes deleted scenes and the ever-popular gag reel as extras.Next, we discuss the re-release of the now out-of-print Blu-ray for the classic 1933 version of "King Kong," starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot, directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, and scored by composer Max Steiner. While re-releases are not common for the Warner Archive, the lack of availability for a film as important as “King Kong” made it a necessity to provide a new, affordable Blu-ray to the public. And finally, we discuss the two films new to Blu-ray this month. First up is "Abe Lincoln In Illinois," (1940) starring Raymond Massey, Gene Lockhart, Ruth Gordon, and directed by John Cromwell. George provides background on the restoration and history of this presidential classic. And we end our discussion with the award-winning release "Rachel, Rachel," (1968) starring Joanne Woodward and directed by her husband and first-time director, Paul Newman.Purchase on Amazon:King Kong (1933) Blu-rayAbe Lincoln In Illinios Blu-rayRachel, Rachel Blu-rayLucifer S6 Blu-rayYoung Sheldon S5 Blu-rayOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.

Formerly ‘Heroes of the Bowl', The Half Bowl Histories series takes a look into the history, lore, and legacy of individuals, places, and events of interest that helped shape the world we know today for good and for ill. Here we get a chance to revisit some of the famous pipe smokers we've covered in the past and shift the focus from what they loved to who they were and the complexities of their lives. This week: Merian C. Cooper Quick Fire Questions: From Jeremy 9)Short (ie bulldog), or Medium (ie Bings/Von Erck) or Long (ie churchwarden or semi-warden) 10)Thick shank or pencil shank 11)Shank garnish (ie brass, silver, gold, bamboo, acrylic) or plain. 13)Nomenclature proudly displayed or cleverly hidden Listener Feedback: (From dsharader87) Hey I'm a fan of the podcast. I listen to it weekly. With Jon David & Beau's Legends of the pipe series or whatever name they change it to I have a candidate they may be interested in. Shelby Foote is a renowned author who I think is from Mississippi. He wrote the popular civil war a narrative and was on ken burns the civil war documentary form the 90s's. He was always smoking a pipe. (From James) I would like to suggest Charles nelson Reilly for a pipe smoker episode. He was an actor/comedian and was on Match Game for many years and was often smoking his pipe during the show. (From David LaMontaine) I'm really enjoying your podcast on pirates. Maybe think about doing one on legendary marine general and pipe smoke Lewis “Chesty” Puller.

King Kong est le héros du film éponyme, tourné en 1933 par Merian C. Cooper et Ernest B. Schoedsack. Il conte les aventures d'un grand singe vivant dans une île peuplée d'animaux préhistoriques. Mais pourquoi porte-t-il ce nom ? Le roi de la jungle "King Kong" est devenu un classique du cinéma et la scène dans laquelle le gorille géant affronte des avions sur le toit d'un gratte-ciel est dans toutes les mémoires. Mais d'où lui vient ce nom de "King Kong" ? On nous apprend, dans le film, qu'il lui est donné par les habitants de "Skull island", l'"île du Crâne", dans laquelle il vit. Impressionnés par sa taille gigantesque et sa force herculéenne, les indigènes en font le roi de l'île. D'où son nom de "king". Un nom à l'origine incertaine Mais pourquoi ce "roi" s'appelle-t-il "Kong" ? Au départ, les auteurs du film ne souhaitaient pas lui donner un nom spécifique. Ils pensaient baptiser ce grand singe "la bête" ("the beast" en anglais). Et le film se serait simplement appelé "La bête de la jungle". Puis Merian C. Cooper décide de l'appeler "Kong". Il est possible que le gorille ait repris le nom de montagnes mythiques, les monts de Kong, situés en Afrique occidentale. Ils figuraient sur les cartes du XVIIIe siècle, mais un explorateur français, visitant la région à la fin du XIXe siècle, n'en trouva pas trace. Le nom est aussi celui d'une puissante cité, capitale d'un royaume, l'Empire de Kong, qui, aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, s'étendait au nord-est de la Côte-d'Ivoire actuelle. Cependant, rien ne prouve que Merian C. Cooper se soit inspiré du nom de ces montagnes. Il se peut que ce nom de "Kong" soit simplement sorti de son imagination. L'euphonie qu'il produit quand on l'associe au mot "king", et qui peut évoquer le battement d'un tambour, l'a peut-être séduit. Quoi qu'il en soit, le nom de "King Kong" est associé, dans la mémoire des spectateurs, à ce grand singe qui, malgré son apparente sauvagerie, est ému par la détresse de la jeune femme qu'il a kidnappée.

Episode Notes Today What Mad Universe?!? takes a trip to Hollywood--and to a movie that never quite existed, Merian C. Cooper's "The War Eagles". A lavish fantasy pulp adventure from the producer and special effects team of "King Kong", this movie almost got made, and might have changed fantasy adventure films forever, but for a quirk of history (well, if you consider World War II a quirk). Eventually released as a novelization much later, the script remains one of cinema's great might-have-beens. Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!

Our tour through proto-Kaiju films continues with a loving and beloved spiritual successor to King Kong with 1949’s hidden gem “Mighty Joe Young”. Original cast and crew from 1933’s Godzilla return to make a very different feel good film. The amazing stop motion work of Ray Harryhausen is put on full display here animating the animalistic movements of Joe. This film, while not connected to King Kong is a first step in many Kaiju films that will follow it. The monster at its core is relatable, heroic and given qualities that make it the center of attention. While not to titanic proportions of King Kong or other monsters that follow it, Mighty Joe Young still is a worthy watch for following the overall arc of Kaiju Eiga. Starring Terry Moore, Ben Johnson and returning from the Kong films, actor Robert Armstrong. The story was created by King Kong’s director and producer Merian C. Cooper, and directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack. Writer Ruth Rose also returns to pen the screenplay. All these Kong connections are why this film feels to be a natural extension and part of the greater Kong universe.

We're back, and we watched King Kong (1933)! The gang returns to discuss practical effects, gorilla butts, Merian C.

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.

Sur le Billard cette semaine Quelques minutes avant de lancer l'enregistrement de l'émission de la semaine dernière, nous nous sommes rendus compte que la date du jour marquait l'anniversaire de nos 15 ans de blabla dans le poste. Une fois l'enregistrement terminée, on s'est dit que ce serait pas mal, pour marquer le coup, d'enchaîner avec l'enregistrement d'une autre émission en causant de ce qu'on avait sous la main en terme de visionnages et lectures récentes.

O CINEMA LIVRE desta sexta-feira (26), às 19 horas, fala sobre o filme King Kong, produzido em 1933, nos EUA Japão, dirigido por Merian C. Cooper e Ernest B. Schoedsack. King Kong (1933) retrata o contexto dos EUA, e do mundo, durante a grande Depressão nos anos 1930. Carl Denham, um diretor fracassado, e considerado louco, decide ir com uma equipe de filmagem em busca da Ilha da Caveira. Na equipe encontra-se Ann Darrow, jovem atriz em dificuldades para se sustentar, em busca da grande chance que possibilite uma mudança radical em sua carreira. A ilha é uma terra perdida no tempo e no espaço, distante de olhares curiosos e morada de ‘selvagens nativos', que acreditam em superstições e crendices, como a de sacrificar mulheres em busca de proteção divina contra monstros inimagináveis (dentre eles dinossauros, vermes assustadores e um gorila gigantesco). O gorila gigante é Kong, venerado como o Rei da Ilha da Caveira, e recebe a atriz (raptada pelos nativos por causa de sua beleza) em sacrifício. Mas Kong, ao invés de devorá-la, se apaixona. Vendo uma oportunidade na fraqueza do bicho Denham e a equipe capturam o gorila e o levam para Nova York, como uma atração de circo. Mas Kong escapa em busca de Ann Darrow, por quem se apaixonou, espalhando medo e destruição pela cidade. Tanto quanto uma aventura épica, King Kong (1933) é um conto de amor improvável, para não dizer impossível; entre uma fera solitária e perseguida e uma mulher em busca de afeto e reconhecimento, e que encontra carinho em um macaco gigante. O final só poderia ser trágico. E mais: CURTAS | As Notícias do mundo do Cinema. DICAS | 5 grandes Monstros do Cinema Norte-Americano.

Hey, guys! The Vault is now under new management—Jimmy From NASA! Yes, after starting a betting pool during Nathan's livestream of Override: Mech City Brawl Friday night and cleaning out the Monster Island Board of Directors, Jimmy became the new host of the podcast but kept Nathan on as his producer. Nathan is still a bit sore about that, as you'll hear, but Jimmy is sure he'll get over it. For his first episode, Jimmy is discussing his favorite unmade Kong film: “Space Kong.” This was a wild idea that came about in the 1960s while Merian C. Cooper was corresponding with comic book publisher Western/Gold Key Comics to produce a comic adaptation of original film and a sequel. This would've featured the children of the original characters and Carl Denham still young from finding the Fountain of Youth. Cooper suggested setting it on another planet with “King Kong reincarnated.” While Jimmy first learned of this lost project through a book written by his (first) flame war nemesis, John LeMay, he showed up that know-it-all by buying Cooper's long lost story treatment for this proposed film on eBay using his newfound wealth. Be the first to hear about it in today's episode! Here's Nathan's transcript of Episode 14.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Despite a slight delay thanks to MIFV mascots Goji-kun and Bro Kong hiding Nathan's laptop, the unavoidable has happened: King Kong Lives. John LeMay, author of Kong Unmade and other kaiju books, returns to Monster Island to discuss the Godzilla vs. Megalon of the Kong series—and John un-ironically likes it! This ill-fated sequel to Dino de Laurentiis's 1976 remake stars Linda Hamilton, fresh off of her star-making role in The Terminator, as a scientist who resurrects King Kong with an artificial heart…because that cures falling off of a building. Not only that, he “falls in love” with Lady Kong, a female giant gorilla, which leads to most of the Kong film tropes getting turned on their ears. Also, King Kong eats rednecks. Yep. Nathan goes full-tilt MST3K with this movie, but he riffs because he loves. That is, when he isn't mediating a conflict between John and the show's intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA. The Toku Topic is the convoluted King Kong copyright, which came to a head twice when Universal tried to sue Dino de Laurentiis in the 1970s and Nintendo in the early 1980s. Hear all about it in the newest episode of The Monster Island Film Vault! You can buy the hardcover of John's book Kong Unmade on Amazon. Check out Jimmy's Notes on this episode!

It's the Ape-th of February, and that means it's the first of our monthly bonus forays into the world of Ape cinema outside of Planet of the Apes! And what better place to start than with the most famous ape of them all? That's right, we're kicking it off with 1933's King Kong, and here to join us is Geoff's sister and classic cinema fan Erin Clarke! The three of them have a grand ol' time examining this old classic's still-amazing special effects, grizzled old misogynistic seamen, the exhausting day-to-day life of the ol' Kongster, the magic of Carl Denham and his real-life inspiration director Merian C. Cooper, how this movie compares to Peter Jackson's cinematic monster, how Jack Driscoll and Anne Darrow are the WORST, and just DINOSAUR after DINOSAUR after DINOSAUR. One listen to this podcast and you'll feel like you could scale the Empire State Building yourself!

El monstruo gigante más importante de la historia del cine pisa 10 Minutitos de con sus 3 películas principales de King Kong con los compañeros de El Terror No Tiene Podcast. Repasamos las obra de 1933 de Merian C. Cooper y Ernest B. Schoedsack, el remake producido por De Laurentis en 1976 y la versión de 2005 de Peter Jackson.

Dans son île perdue dans le Pacifique, le très distingué Comte Zaroff règne en maître absolu. Sa distraction favorite : la chasse. De nombreux survivants de naufrages fréquentent les murs du Comte mais les disparitions de certains d'entre eux durant la nuit sont inquiétantes…Avec : Fay Wray, Joel McCrea, Leslie Banks et Robert ArmstrongPeu de films possèdent un titre aussi beau et troublant que Les Chasses du comte Zaroff, qui condense en lui le mystère et la peur. Tourné en 1932 en parallèle avec King Kong avec une poignée de dollars par deux aventuriers – Ernest B. Schoedsack et Merian C. Cooper – Zaroff emprunte à Kong certains de ses décors, de son équipe technique et de ses acteurs comme Fay Wray, l'actrice principale. Et c'est Leslie Banks, star de Broadway, qui interprète un inimitable comte Zaroff, raffiné et sanguinaire.Zaroff, production 602 de RKO, servira de répétition générale et de réglage dans la façon d'utiliser et de filmer le vaste décor de la production 601, Kong. Le succès de Zaroff sera bien plus modeste que celui de King Kong. Mais la réputation de ce film fascinant n'a cessé depuis lors de s'exercer sur des générations de spectateurs.Maintes fois copié, ce film unique est l'un des tout premiers produits par la RKO. Il est présenté ici dans sa toute dernière restauration.En bonus (19mn) :Extrait de King Kong (1933), Interview de Merian C. Cooper par Kevin Brownlow, Introduction aux chasses du comte Zaroff, Galerie photo.Noir & Blanc - Version Originale Sous-titres Français.Combo BluRay - DVD Multizones
