After surviving in the wilds of Monster Island for two months, Dallas Mora from\\xa0Geek Devotions\\xa0joins Nathan to discuss the Eighth Wonder\\u2019s latest cinematic adventure,\\xa0Kong: Skull Island. This pulpy adventure movie directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts took Kong in a whole new direction, dropping his lovesickness and making him a benevolent but savage protector. Nathan and Dallas dive headlong into the film\\u2019s rich backstory as explored in its comic book prequel,\\xa0Skull Island: The Birth of Kong; discuss the colorful cast of characters played by a troupe of Marvel movie actors; and realize that Kong is the Batman of the MonsterVerse.
