Jeremy is joined by acclaimed author and scriptwriter Simon Guerrier to discuss 1976's monster movie remake of King Kong, starring Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange and Charles Grodin. Their analysis takes in such topics as the birth of the blockbuster, The Secret Diary of Marco Polo, Mitchell and Webb and a former Doctor Who showrunner.

Frankly, how any viewer can resist the raw magnetism of this flick's godawful performances, ludicrous yet dead serious plot and dialogue, pervy Kong, and its laughable multi-million dollar FX is beyond me.
