episode 304: Skull Island (Animated Series, 2023)
Byrd, Matt and Kevin discuss the brand new Skull Island animated series. Made for Netflix by Legendary and Powerhouse Animation Studios (Castlevania) and developed by writer Brian Duffield (Underwater, Love and Monsters), the series follows a group of shipwreck survivors trying to survive on King Kong's home island. How does the series fare as the first animated series and television venture for the Monsterverse? Does it improve Kong's unfortunate track record in animation? And why do we disagree with the marketing's use of the word "anime?" Listen and find out! But first, we discuss Toho's recent crowdfunding effort for a new Jet Jaguar suit and PlutoTV's announcement of a 24/7 Godzilla channel. Relax and join the conversation!
