"What does it have to do with 'Nam?! What does anything have to do with NAM?!"! - The Dude (Jeff Lebowski) to Walter in The Big Lebowski
What indeed....
Jack, Andrew, and that lovable supplementary scamp Guest Star Matt (Matthew Catania) went over to see the second installment in the new Warner Brothers/Legendary MonstersVerse franchise (first the 2014 Godzilla, now this, guess what comes next?) How does it work to put 1973 Vietnam-era action and mayhem and US militarism in the midst of THE most monsterrific island in the world? Well... how do you think it turns out? John C. Reilly pops up of course and knows all!
We reviewed Kong: Skull Island, and if you listen closely you can hear some 'Nam era tracks in the background (specifically CCR, Black Sabbath, The Hollies and David Bowie), plus a clip from the film and a segment from an infamous Nostalgia Critic episode at the 35:45 minute mark, which is meant to signal SPOILERS!
