Summary

It's Jack Black's world and we're just living in it.

This week Nando DJ and Diggins hop about some ship in the 20's or whatever and head to SKULL ISLAND (bum bum BUM) to see the longest movie they'll ever watch that isn't about a team of superheroes, Peter Jackson's King Kong.

They nitpick the bugs, the guns, and of course that mysterious kid who showed up on the boat four years ago...

What's going on? I am Nando. And I am DJ. And I am Diggins. And this is mostly nitpicking a podcast where every week we pick a part of piece of pop culture by looking exclusively at the details.

0:20.2

Woohoo. Woo, hoo! Yeah. Hur week! This week. What are we doing this week, guys? Oh, my gosh. We're reviewing a movie that I don't care for. Oh, DJ, we're not that part of the podcast yet. Yeah, DJ, don't spoil the for the people. Oh, my bad.

0:37.6

This week, we're going to check out the ape wonder of the world.

0:44.0

Oh, very good.

0:45.1

Stealing my joke, I see.

0:47.1

Hey, if it doesn't happen before we hit record, it doesn't count.

0:52.4

That's true.

0:52.8

It's like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Same thing. We're doing a movie that threatens to be the only time we've ever done a podcast shorter than the runtime of the movie. Yeah, I would say the other time this might be possible is the Snyder Cup, but we're definitely going to go along on that one. Like, there's not that long, right? Like, yeah, but if there's ever been a movie we could talk about for hours, it's a Snyder cut. So like, if it were seven hours long, yeah, that's probably longer than the podcast will be. But like, four hours? I'm like, if there was going to be a four hour podcast, it would be about Zach Snyder Jesus Simulator,

1:27.8

whatever the thing's called. Did you see

1:29.7

the Zach Snyder PR tour has started?

1:32.5

Oh, what is it?

1:34.7

He's doing a bunch of like profiles like with vanity fair and stuff.

1:37.9

And part of it is reasonable where it's like talking about the tragedy that

1:42.4

you know, his daughter's death and everything.

1:44.9

And I'm like, yeah, that's fair. He seems like an okay guy. That was a horrible thing that happened to his family, uh, whatever.

1:51.1

But then it's also like, and Warner Brothers just wouldn't let him execute his vision, his artistic vision, this, this great artist who just wanted to see through his view of superheroes as gods above humans.

2:07.7

And I'm like, listen, Warner Brothers did not believe in him because they're, you know, money grubbing monsters, although I'm sure they are.

2:14.9

They didn't believe in him because he did it twice and it was bad both times.

2:18.7

Yeah.

2:19.3

And he wanted to, and his badness seeped into the other movies.

2:24.8

So like your suicide squad had Snyderiness kind of like stuck onto it.

2:29.7

And it was like, oh, it's poisoning the whole world.
