Episode 314: Gorillas in the Mist (September 1988)
Our first biopic with this 1988 tale of the life and (spoiler) death of Trimate Dian Fossey. What does that mean? Listen and find out.
Amity spoiled the end of this historically accurate movie while watching it by going to Wikipedia to try to make sense of the wonky timeline, so this episode starts with a bang. We get to watch a fantastic Sigourney Weaver performance and gorillas – so many beautiful gorillas (and chimpanzees playing gorillas – such range!). Amity wonders when any of this actually is and Lemuel learns us on Leakey. Listen along!
