Cian is a massive Kong fan, and after years of resigning Peter Jackson's 2005 remake to the 'dud' bin, he dusts off this 3-hour love letter to the original and gives it another shake. Join us at the cabin in the woods as we discuss:

-my history with the original and Jackson's Kong

-the history of CGI used for creature effects

-Jackson's bloated, indulgent nature

-Jackson's love for Kong

-The history of the 'lost world' genre

-Colonialism in King Kong

-The effect of Jurassic Park on movie dinosaurs

-The ecology of Skull Island
