Son of Kong and the Legacy of Willis O’Brien

Monster Study Group

Monster Study Group has returned for a second season! Episode One of the “Son of…Summer” is “Son of Kong and the Legacy of Willis O’Brien.” Faced with the prospect of creating a sequel for King Kong, the production team did an intriguing thing…they went small. And the man that brought Kong (and Kong Junior) to life, Willis O’Brien, lived a life of tragedy and triumph. You’ll hear his story from a rare source. Mark also has a few things to say about a recent trip to the Pacific Northwest and the release of Godzilla vs. Kong. If you’re enjoying Monster Study Group, check out Mark on Monsteropolis, the official podcast of Small Town Monsters, and Monster Kid Radio, hosted by Derek M. Koch, the Rondo-Award-winning podcast devoted to classic (and sometimes not so classic) genre cinema. Follow Monster Study Group on Instagram and Twitter and feel free to send your email to [e-mail]
