Part 4 of 5 in this month’s series: KaiJune!
There’s a new Godzilla movie, and that means it’s time for more movie science! All June, we’ll be exploring giant monster movies, specifically looking at two of the most famous examples of all time: King Kong and Godzilla. How do these movies handle such subjects as prehistoric creatures, the science of paleontology, and the portrayal of scientists?
This episode, Kong in the 21st century: King Kong (2005) and Kong: Skull Island (2017)

Hey guys, I love your podcasts and would like thank deeply the phD student (sorry, I don't know her name. Names are always difficult for me when not in my native language). But if I may suggest something, it would be better to have your voices on a more similar volume. The angiosperms specialists voice was much lauter than the one of you boys.
