Episode 202 - Konga

Not a Bomb

Welcome back to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb!! This podcast swings back into action, digging into cinema's ripest box office banana peels to see if any deserve a second peel... er, chance. On this week’s episode, we're thrilled to have a special guest and all-around top banana—John! We are going bananas during Ape-Ril with the 1961 horror/sci-fi flick Konga. And if you haven’t figured it out by now, we’re also stuffing this post with as many banana and ape puns as possible! Prepare for a wild ride as we delve into the "ape-peeling" world of British botanist Dr. Charles Decker and his experiments. Dr. Decker's obsession with a growth serum leads to the birth of a monstrous ape named Konga as well as some funky plants with a hunger for red meat. Join us as we dissect the science, horror, and unintended comedy of this cult classic film. Konga is directed by John Lemont and stars Michael Gough, Margo Johns, Jess Conrad, and Claire Gordon If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at [e-mail] or Contact Us - here.
