Published: Oct. 9, 2019, 9 a.m.

b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nOur \\u201cKong Quest\\u201d begins!\\xa0\\xa0Nathan is joined by his core group of Monster Island Tourists\\u2014Nick Hayden & Timothy Deal of the Derailed Trains of Thought podcast and Joe & Joy Metter\\u2014to discuss one of the greatest movies ever made: 1933\\u2019s\\xa0King Kong. What\\u2019s interesting is\\xa0none\\xa0of these Tourists had seen this classic film before coming to the Island, so you\\u2019ll hear their fresh reactions, opinions, and analyses to the Eighth Wonder\\u2019s first and greatest outing. Listen as each of them compete for best (or worst?) joke of the podcast (\\u201cNo monkeying around!\\u201d says Nick). Along the way Jimmy From NASA gets sassy with the Tourists and has to corral a dog dubbed \\u201cTeddy Kong,\\u201d who keeps trying to make a cameo during the Toku Talk. The Toku Topic for this episode is the Great Depression since the film was made and released at the height of that period and indirectly mentions it several times.\\n\\n\\nBe sure to check out the\\xa0latest episode\\xa0of Nick and Tim\\u2019s podcast,\\xa0Derailed Trains of Thought, where they visited Monster Island to discuss destruction as a story element with Nathan as a guest host. Their podcast is marvelous, and Nathan has appeared on\\xa0multiple episodes.\\nTimestampsIntro: 0:00-4:42Entertaining Info Dump: 4:42-12:06Toku Talk: 12:06-1:21:27Toku Topic: 1:21:27-1:54:52Outro: 1:54:52-end\\nRead\\xa0Jimmy\\u2019s Notes\\xa0for corrections, riffs, and more info on this episode!\\n#JimmyFromNASALives\\n\\xa9 2019 Moonlighting Ninjas Media\\nBibliography/Further Reading\\n\\u201cDepression, You Say?
