    This is my favorite movie with King Kong because it’s good but also every tertiary character is played by an improv comedy person from an Adult Swim show that would air at 2 in the morning.

    One of my favorite things for people to learn is Godzilla fought King Kong at the same point in his Toho film series as in the Monsterverse. (Film 3.) It feels like surely the Kong crossover would come when out of ideas. Nope. Third at bat, they tried to make Godzilla an icon on Kong’s level.

    A six-part retelling of “King Kong” in comic strip form, drawn by Glenn Cravath, first appeared on April 12, 1933. (The film had just opened nationwide, and this strip was part of the promotional push.) If you’ve never seen the movie, the strips contain spoilers.
