This classic features the special effects masters of the generations: Willis O\u2019Brien and Ray Harryhausen. As usual, Nate did <em>way too much <\/em>research, but its almost overshadowed by the BURNING OPRHANS(!). Nate\u2019s guests were blindsided by this film\u2019s climax; so much so, they start the discussion with that and move backwards through the movie, <em>Memento<\/em>-style. The Toku Topic is gorillas in captivity since Mighty Joe himself was a captive gorilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the broadcast, Nate speaks with Jessica about her new job as director of tourism on his way to meet with the Island\u2019s new PR director, Darius R. Gold, a big game hunter from Texas. Amidst a metric ton of bravado, Mr. Gold tells Nate to contact Teri Young, the current caretaker for Mighty Joe Young. After the broadcast, Nate finally gets a reply from her\u2014and a suspicious revelation about Cameron Winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode\u2019s prologue, \u201cGold and Gorillas,\u201d was written by Nathan Marchand with Michael Hamilton and Daniel DiManna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guest stars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sarah Marchand as Jessica Shaw<\/li><li>Michael Hamilton as Darius R.
