Movies in Black & White – King Kong

You know King Kong as one of the most beloved monster movies of all-time and its sights and sounds are iconic: the gargantuan gorilla battling a squadron of fighter planes atop the Empire State Building before tumbling to his doom, the bloodcurdling screams of Fay Wray, the visionary special effects of Willis O’Brien. But it is merely innocent, escapist entertainment… or is it something more?

Movies in Black & White is a screening series bringing people together to watch classic movies and talk about race, featuring guest panelists from the worlds of film, art and comedy, hosted Jason Lamb of the Karl Show! (starring Jason) podcast.
