b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nIt\\u2019s an epic episode for an epic movie! No, not that\\xa0stupid parody film. Nathan is joined by Daniel DiManna, the creator and author of\\xa0The Godzilla Novelization Project, to discuss Peter Jackson HUGE 2005 remake of\\xa0King Kong. (Although, Danny had to survive a harrowing trip to Monster Island with the podcast\\u2019s intrepid producer,\\xa0Jimmy From NASA, and a certain robot dinosaur to do so). Only Peter Jackson, who was fresh off of\\xa0The Lord of the Rings, could\\u2019ve made a three hour film about a giant monkey, er, ape. Nathan and Danny do a deep dive into the film\\u2019s characters, themes, and story while struggling not to get Jack Driscoll and Jack Black confused. They freely admit this is the one giant monster movie that makes them cry. They also learn that the young man named Jimmy in this film may or may not be the podcast\\u2019s producer. (Confused? Join the club). The Toku Topic is vaudeville since Ann Darrow in this film is a vaudeville performer before getting work on Carl Denham\\u2019s movie.\\n\\n\\nNathan promises to not make a habit of producing episodes that cross what Danny calls \\u201cthe Kurosawa threshold.\\u201d\\xa0\\nTimestamps:Intro: 0:00-6:08Entertaining Info Dump: 6:08-15:29Toku Talk: 15:29-1:55:52Toku Topic: 1:55:52-2:29:43Outro: 2:29:43-end\\n\\xa9 2020 Moonlighting Ninjas Media\\nBibliography/Further Reading:\\n\\u201cAbout Vaudeville\\u201d (American Masters)\\n\\u201cThe Heroine Archetype\\u201d (Professor Geek) (YouTube)\\n\\u201cJune Havoc\\u201d (Wikipedia)\\nKing Kong: The History of a Movie Icon from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson\\xa0by Ray Morton\\n\\u201cKing Kong\\u2019s Melancholy: A Reading of Peter Jackson\\u2019s\\xa0King Kong\\u201d by Cynthia Erb (from\\xa0Tracking King Kong: A Hollywood Icon in World Culture, 2nd\\xa0Edition)\\nKong Unmade: The Lost Films of Skull Island\\xa0by John LeMay\\nA Night in Vaudeville\\xa0(King Kong\\xa0Blu-Ray)\\nRecreating the Eighth Wonder: The Making of\\xa0King Kong (King Kong\\xa0Blu-Ray)\\n\\u201cVaudeville\\u201d (New World Encyclopedia)\\n\\u201cVaudeville\\u201d (Wikipedia)\\nWiki Pages on\\xa0King Kong\\xa0(2005)\\u2013IMDB\\u2013Gojipedia\\u2013Wikipedia\\u2013Wikizilla\\nThe post Episode 12: Daniel DiManna vs. \\u2018King Kong\\u2019 (2005) appeared first on The Monster Island Film Vault.'
