King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)

It's the King of the Monsters versus the other King of the Monsters this week on Podcast Part 3, as Will and Sam talk about 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla, the trend-setting, game-changing third installment in Toho's Godzilla franchise. While the big boys battle, the little boys discuss Godzilla's importance to Japanese pop culture, King Kong's importance to Godzilla, and how two rather serious black & white movies from 1933 and 1954 led to this colorful slap fight between a radioactive lizard and a possibly inebriated gorilla.
