51. Jungle Cruise Distory - Part 12 - Canoes & The Gorilla Camp
Description
What happened to the punching gorilla, and why did he never make it into the Jungle Cruise? In this episode of Distory, we travel into the heart of the Congo on the Jungle Cruise, exploring the history of the canoe scene and the ransacked safari camp. Along the way, we tell a few bonus jokes, find some spare piranha that Kirk didn't know existed, and hear a little jungle fashion history. We find some fascinating connections back to the movie Tarzan, a classic novella, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and learn about the backstories and inspiration for these two unique Jungle Cruise scenes.
Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!
