Will the latest, greatest remake of the original 1933 movie outshine the original? Will it symbiotically add to the mythos of the character? Will we find out what really killed the beast in this modern Prometheus? Find out along with us as we discuss Peter Jacksons magnum opus in 2005's "King Kong"

A parody Kaiju film looks to take the stars of the 1950s monster movies and put them in a ultra-low budget comedy. Will the monster's lack of clothing get a chuckle out of Myles and Patrick or does this movie need to be lost from the kaiju canon?
