YMO 1.0: The King Kong Special
Listen now
Description
Way, way back in 2018, our hosts Mike Natale and Tom Lorenzo had a different podcast (with the same name, because names are hard, y'all). On that show, they devoted a whole episode to the history of the mighty cinematic ape known as King Kong, who had recently leaped from the silver screen to the Great White Way. As a supplement to our recent episode on 1933's King Kong with Graham Skipper, we've dug out this vintage podcast episode where the Mike and Tom of the past discuss every major Kong movie up until then, as well as the Broadway musical based on the character. We'll be back to National Film Registry talk next week, but for now, enjoy the King Kong Special!
