Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews (with FULL SPOILERS) Kong: Skull Island, the 2017 blockbuster action monster movie directed by Jordan-Vogt Roberts and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Easy E and Dr. Dre!

Warner Bros. and Legendary have officially launched their Universal Monsters shared universe - dubbed the MonsterVerse! This is the 2nd entry in this film series; the 1st being 2014's Godzilla. Does the giant gorilla continue the giant lizard's success en route to King Kong VS Godzilla?

Chris dissects this reinvention of the ape, the myth, the legend as Kong establishes his dominance over our red-shirted, war-driven group of humans. Can Samuel L. Jackson's badass commandos pose a threat?

We explore more than just Kong himself as the island and it's various inhabitants suffer man's ignorance. With a near 200 million dollar budget, does Jordan Vogt-Roberts have what it takes to take the King to the next level?

Most importantly, is the inevitable climatic monster battle for the island spectacular?

Help Chris reveal the monstrous secrets of Skull Island, Kong, Godzilla and the monsters set to fight them. Beware: geekout warning!
