Hello my name is David Lewis and I am the host of Cinemallennials, a podcast where myself and another millennial watch a classic film ranging from the 1890s to 1969 and discuss its significance and relevance in our world today.

On today’s episode of Cinemallennials, I talked with Matt Duffy from ReelGoldRundown on Instagram and TikTok and we talked about a film that transformed visual effects and the media of animation forever, 1933’s King Kong.

Spielberg, Jackson, Del Toro, and Shigeru Miyamoto all would admit to the fact that their careers would have never reached the heights they have gained if they had never been exposed to the enticing and soul-searching phenomenon, that is King Kong. Whether its revolutionary stop-motion animation, its introduction of the original scream queen, or its ascent to the top of the Empire State Building King Kong is arguably one of the most influential pieces of media of all time

King Kong follows the story of adventurer/filmmaker, Carl Denham who stumbles upon a down on her luck actress Ann Darrow and brings her on the trip and terror of a lifetime. After inappropriately interacting with the indigenous peoples on their destination Ann is kidnapped and then sacrificed to the horrific beast that is Kong.

For the past 90 years King Kong has capturing audience both old and young as it poses so many questions. So, sit back, relax and try to answer the question: Was it truly beauty that killed the beast?

Cinemallennials is a podcast where myself and another millennial are introduced to a classic film for the very first time ranging from the birth of cinema to the 1960s. Myself and my guest will open your eyes to the vast landscape of classic film as we discuss the films' performers,  their performances, those behind the camera, and how they and their films still influence our world today.
