Hello, kaiju lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Jimmy From NASA<\/a> flies him back to Indiana to get his microphone, Timothy Deal of the Derailed Trains of Thought<\/a> podcast returns to Monster Island to continue the \u201cKong Quest\u201d with Son of Kong<\/em>, the almost forgotten sequel to King Kong<\/em>. 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 Son of Kong<\/em> to the Russian film Battleship Potemkin<\/em>, Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/em>, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/em>\u2014and gives Jimmy a lot of work for “Jimmy’s Notes.” 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
