It’s hard to overstate the influence of 1933’s “King Kong.” But this episode isn’t about that film. It’s about the two movies produced by Toho Studios that imported and featured the great ape: “King Kong vs. Godzilla” and “King Kong Escapes.” These are some of the most freewheeling giant monster movies you’ll ever lay eyes on; that may begin to explain their continuing influence. Episode 7 features writing by Mike Bogue and J.D. Lees. Make sure to check out Bogue’s book “Apocalypse Then” published by McFarland as well as G-FAN magazine, published by Daikaiju Enterprises, Ltd. g-fan.com Monster Study group maintains social media accounts on Instagram and Twitter.
