Noel Thingvall (I Hate/Love Remakes; Masters of Carpentry) and Michael May (Hellbent for Letterbox; Mystery Movie Night) are joined by a variety of guests to discuss the Tarzan movies in chronological order.
Michael and Noel kick off the 1950s era of Tarzan movies with Lex Barker's second appearance as the ape man. Lee Sholem is back in the director's chair, but there's a new Jane as Vanessa Brown becomes the first of many actors to rotate through the role for the rest of Barker's run.
