Description
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of cinema’s biggest flops. On this week’s episode, the guys are once again joined by Sammy from the GGTMC to discuss 1986’s monster adventure film - King Kong Lives. Folks, this is one of the most insane films the podcast has discussed. King Kong Lives is a sequel to the 1976 King Kong, which was a remake of the 1933 original classic. In this sequel most people didn’t know existed, we find our beloved monkey receiving a heart implant after being in a coma for 10 years. That’s just in the first 15 minutes. Trust us, you can’t even guess what happens next! It is truly a “seeing is believing” situation. Listen as the guys tackle monkey reproduction, “bargain basement” Jeff Daniels, the miliary’s official “Primate Holding Division,” and mega-producer Dino De Laurentiis.
