It has been quite some time since Adam and Melissa disagreed on a film – it took Adam Sandler and Adam Sandler in “Jack and Jill” to get them here.

What happens when your production company cannot buy the rights to a website domain that your film needs in order for the title to make sense?

This movie could not be more up our alley: mid-90s, “talking” gorillas, Tim Curry, and sesame cake that you can’t eat. All of this plus white gorillas that will scare the crap out of you all await in the 1995 jungle epic “Congo”. Join the St. Johns as we breakdown the wonderful cameos in this film, the believable puppeteering and construction of “Amy”, and…is Laura Linney a good actress? Tune in and explore the Congo with us!
