<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nOur \u201cKong Quest\u201d begins!\n\ud83d\ude1b Nathan is joined by his core group of Monster Island Tourists\u2014Nick Hayden &\nTimothy Deal of the Derailed Trains of Thought podcast and Joe & Joy\nMetter\u2014to discuss one of the greatest movies ever made: 1933\u2019s King Kong<\/em>. What\u2019s interesting is none<\/em> of these Tourists had seen this\nclassic film before coming to the Island, so you\u2019ll hear their fresh reactions,\nopinions, and analyses to the Eighth Wonder\u2019s first and greatest outing. Listen\nas each of them compete for best (or worst?) joke of the podcast (\u201cNo monkeying\naround!\u201d says Nick). Along the way Jimmy From NASA gets sassy with the Tourists\nand has to corral a dog dubbed \u201cTeddy Kong,\u201d who keeps trying to make a cameo\nduring the Toku Talk. The Toku Topic for this episode is the Great Depression\nsince the film was made and released at the height of that period and\nindirectly mentions it several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to check out the latest episode<\/a> of Nick and Tim\u2019s podcast, Derailed Trains of Thought<\/a>, 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 multiple episodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n Timestamps<\/strong> Read Jimmy’s Notes<\/a> for corrections, riffs, and more info on this episode!<\/p>\n\n\n\n #JimmyFromNASALives<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a9 2019 Moonlighting\nNinjas Media<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bibliography\/Further Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDepression,\nYou Say?
