Marshall's Movies: King Kong (1933)

Ever since Marshall Craig was taken from us on December 18, 2020, his mother Carla Craig has worked tirelessly with his friends and loved ones to ensure his memory lives on. So far, this has led to his massive book collection being donated to the library at his Alumni, The California University Of Pennsylvania, a bench installed at a park where he loved to see the sunset, and the beginnings of a charity called Marshall’s Revolution. This is a year long miniseries designed by The Pop Break Staff Writer Sam Niles to progress his memory by having some discussions about movies in Marshall’s collection. Marshall has an incredible collection and could talk for hours about film, so some of his friends got together and made a podcast to invite guests with both a passion and knowledge for film to discuss selections from his collection once a month. On this episode of Marshall’s Movies, fellow Kaiju fan Miles Hartl joins us to discuss the 1933 classic, King Kong. We discuss the inherent magic of cinema, the revolutionary visual effects of the film that stand on their own merit to this day, and Kong’s legacy in blockbuster cinema.
