b'Hey, guys!\\n\\n\\nThe Vault is now under new management\\u2014Jimmy From NASA! Yes, after starting a betting pool during\\xa0Nathan\\u2019s livestream of\\xa0Override: Mech City Brawl\\xa0Friday 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\\u2019ll hear, but Jimmy is sure he\\u2019ll get over it.\\nFor his first episode, Jimmy is discussing his favorite unmade Kong film: \\u201cSpace Kong.\\u201d 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\\u2019ve 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 \\u201cKing Kong reincarnated.\\u201d While Jimmy first learned of this lost project through a\\xa0book\\xa0written by his (first) flame war nemesis, John LeMay, he showed up that know-it-all by buying Cooper\\u2019s long lost story treatment for this proposed film on eBay using his newfound wealth. Be the first to hear about it in today\\u2019s episode!\\nHere\\u2019s Nathan\\u2019s transcript of Episode 14.\\nFollow Jimmy on Twitter:\\xa0@NasaJimmy\\n#JimmyFromNASALives#WeShallOvercome\\nPodcast Social Media:TwitterFacebookInstagram\\nwww.MonsterIslandFilmVault.com\\n\\xa9 2020 Jimmy From NASA & Moonlighting Ninjas Media\\nBibliography/Further Reading:\\n\\u201cEarth analog\\u201d (Wikipedia)\\nKong Unmade: The Lost Films of Skull Island\\xa0by John LeMay\\n\\u201cMediocrity principle\\u201d (Wikipedia)\\n\\u201cRare Earth hypothesis\\u201d (Wikipedia)\\nThe post Bonus Episode #1: Jimmy From NASA Presents \\u2018Space Kong\\u2019 appeared first on The Monster Island Film Vault.'
