Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guest David Monaghan and Grace Duffy, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them.
This week, Peter Jackson’s King Kong.
Vaudeville performer Ann Darrow has just lost her steady gig. A chance encounter with veteran filmmaker Carl Denham presents a unique opportunity. If Denham can stay one step ahead of his investors, he might just make the greatest motion picture that the world has ever seen. Tricking his cast and crew on to a boat, Denham sets sail for adventure, charting a course to the most dangerous location shoot in the history of cinema, a mythical locale described in whispers as “Skull Island.” Denham plans to make a star of the island’s more iconic inhabitant: the King that they call Kong.
At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best or worst movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
