b'Hello, kaiju lovers!\\nAfter\\xa0Jimmy From NASA\\xa0flies him back to Indiana to get his microphone, Timothy Deal of the\\xa0Derailed Trains of Thought\\xa0podcast returns to Monster Island to continue the \\u201cKong Quest\\u201d with\\xa0Son of Kong, the almost forgotten sequel to\\xa0King Kong. If the 1933 masterpiece is a grand myth, the sequel is a pleasant bedtime story. Screenwriter Ruth Rose, when talking about writing this film, said, \\u201cIf you can\\u2019t go bigger, go funnier,\\u201d which is an apt statement about this film and sequels in general. Nathan and Tim\\u2019s lively discussion connects\\xa0Son of Kong\\xa0to the Russian film\\xa0Battleship Potemkin,\\xa0Raiders of the Lost Ark, and\\xa0Terminator 2: Judgment Day\\u2014and gives Jimmy a lot of work for \\u201cJimmy\\u2019s Notes.\\u201d They also theorize about what happened to \\u201cMrs. Kong\\u201d/Kiko\\u2019s mother, which actually puts this and the first film into perspective\\u2026sorta. The Toku Topic builds off of the previous one with a philosophical discussion of how 1930s filmmakers addressed the Depression in their movies, touching on themes like escapism and collective rage.\\n\\n\\nHere\\u2019s the Kaijuvision Radio episode on\\xa0King Kong vs. Godzilla\\xa0for you to listen to as part of MIFV\\u2019s Kong coverage:\\xa0Episode 8: King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) (The Japanese Economic Miracle (The Golden 60s))\\nRead Jimmy\\u2019s Notes on this episode\\xa0here.\\nTimestamps:Intro: 0:00-3:49Entertaining Info Dump: 3:49-9:43Toku Talk: 9:43-56:24Toku Topic: 56:24-1:19:44Outro: 1:19:44-end\\n\\xa9 2019 Moonlighting Ninjas Media\\nBibliography/Further Reading\\u201cCulture and Politics in the Great Depression\\u201d by Alan Brinkley\\n\\u201cEscapism\\u201d (Wikipedia)\\n\\u201cEscapism and Leisure Time 1929-1941\\u201d (Enclopedia.com)\\n\\u201cHow the Great Depression inspired Hollywood\\u2019s golden age\\u201d by Paul Whitington\\nKaijuvision Radio, Episode 2: Godzilla Origins \\u2013 King Kong (1933) and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953)\\nKing Kong: History of a Movie Icon from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson\\xa0by Ray Morton\\nKong Unbound: The Cultural Impact, Pop Mythos, and Scientific Plausibility of a Cinematic Legend\\xa0(edited by Karen Haber)\\nKong Unmade: The Lost Films of Skull Island\\xa0by John LeMay\\nSon of Kong\\xa0Wiki Articles\\u2013Gojipedia\\u2013Wikizilla\\u2013Wikipedia\\nSon Of Kong (1933) Review \\u2013 Kong-A-Thon Episode 2 (DMan1954)\\nTracking King Kong: A Hollywood Icon in World Culture\\xa0(2nd\\xa0edition) by Cynthia Erb\\nThe Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Imp\\nThe post Episode 4: Timothy Deal vs. \\u2018Son of Kong\\u2019 appeared first on The Monster Island Film Vault.'
