Description

"They said it couldn't be filmed – but it was! See it and ask – what if such a thing could happen?" Horror expert and "literally wrote the book on big monsters" author Graham Skipper swings by the pod to talk everyone's big ape buddy King Kong. We'll talk the birth of the blockbuster, palpable personality in a stop-motion creature, and why the Kong iconography remains so powerful 90 years later. Today's episode is brought to you by Audible.

Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". Each week, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men's Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter.
