It's very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present.

You believe that someone out of the past can enter and take possession of a living

we may be true with the past, but the past is not through with us.

Welcome back to the next picture show, a movie of the week podcast devoted to a classic film in the way it shaped our thoughts on a recent release.

I'm Scott Tobias here again with Keith Phipps.

Genevieve Koski, Tasha Robinson.

On this episode, we continue with the latest attempt to outstomp the great ape with Kong Skull Island, which I can assure you is not your great-great-grandfather's King Kong.

Rather than updated to the present day, however, Kong Skull Island begins at the end of the Vietnam

War, where a government agent, played by John Goodman, takes advantage of the chaos by hastily

arranging a mission to the uncharted Skull Island.

For reasons that will soon become apparent, Goodman has commissioned a military helicopter

squadron, led by Samuel L. Jackson, to escort his scientists in a seemingly unnecessary

payload of bombs and other weapons.

Also joining the group as a professional adventurer, played by Tom Hiddleston, and an agitating

photojournalist, played by Bree Larson.

Apocalypse When?

They might be asking themselves

as they chopper over the island.

Apocalypse now replies the beast

that swats them from the skies.

Cue up, time has come today.
