Even if you aren’t a big fan of kaiju movies, we know you’ve heard of Godzilla and King Kong.

How many cities will be destroyed in the process? Will they become BFFs by the end? The answers are streaming now on HBO Max.
Starting with King Kong’s first appearance in 1933 in the original King Kong movie, the giant ape has appeared in a number of sequels and remakes since, making himself a household name in the process. Godzilla, on the other hand, wasn’t introduced to the world until 1954 in the Japanese thriller Godzilla, which helped launch an entirely new genre of monster movie. Like Kong, Godzilla appeared in multiple sequels and remakes as well.
