'Never Seen it' - Episode 18 - 'King Kong' (1976) is a real time capsule

What does the 1976 version of the King Kong story have to offer? Well, a very sexy Jessica Lange (to your left) in her first major movie role -- that much Liz and I can agree on.

For me, this film was sandwiched between a lot of monkey movie viewing, from the new Kong movie, Skull Island and the latest (and last) installment of the new Planet of the Apes franchise.

This big budget 70s blockbuster has long been on my radar but I just never sat down and watched it from start to finish. It's definitely a spectacle, but that doesn't mean there isn't some very problematic stuff in it.

Check out the latest episode of my wife Elizabeth Rosado and my podcast -- 'Never Seen It' -- below, in which we weigh in on whether all the Kong movies are inherently racist, and a few other pressing concerns.
