Ep. 165: Tarzan The Ape Man (1932) or ‘Gabbin’ ‘Bout Greystoke’
Saturday, 6 December, 2025
Zach welcomes back Ken Sowder (Ballyhoo Contributor, ‘The History of High Adventure) on an expedition through the jungle where upon they will encounter its mighty monarch as they dive deep into the 1932 Pre-Code adventure classic, TARZAN THE APE MAN ! Join the duo as they unpack the history of the Tarzan character in literature & film, sift through the travails of production, explore and comb through the plot in meticulous detail, reckon with the unseemly treatment of people & animals both on and off screen, become impressed where the film manages to subvert expectation to its benefit, and then finally settle upon the many ways in which the film & character have influenced the world of film to this day. Plus: Was Brendan Fraser robbed of an Oscar for George Of The Jungle? YES HE WAS.
