    Amazing work, Jessica and team. A few quick notes:
    8:15 This is likely not tape in a tape recorder, but large magnetic tape reels, which were the main data storage medium for computers of the era (see 13:19-13:20)
    9:17 Gamera is a competitor of Godzilla from a rival studio, so he will never appear in a Godzilla film. Just like a DC character would never appear in an MCU film.
    22:30 Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" is the song playing in Apocalypse Now during the helicopter scene, so this is likely why they call it this.
    33:25 "Death before Dishonor" - This is a common motto of the US Marine Corps. While there were WWII Marine pilots, Marlow has a patch for the Army Air Force. But he was surrounded by Marines..
    35:25 Kong collapses. This parallels Godzilla collapsing in the first film.

    Those "tapes in a tape recorder" weren't tapes in a tape recorder, they were spools in an ancient 1950s style computer
    The rocket launch was the Saturn 5 rocket from the Apollo missions to the moon
    In the southern hemisphere, it would be the Aurora Australis, not the Borealis

    What Colonel Packard actually said about icarus was
    "Remember the story of icarus, gis father gave him wings made of wax, warned him not to fly too close to the sun, but the elevation was too great and he kept going higher and higher, until the sun melted his wings, and fell into the sea
    But tue United States army is not an irresponsible father, So they gave us wings of hot Pennsylvania steel, guaranteed not to melt"

    8:16 not positive, but those look more like computer tape drives than tape recordings. The fact they are showing Sputnik right after showing the tape makes me think that. They would have used tape drives to store data or run programs from the computer’s of that time. They wouldn’t have used those to store video interviews. Unless it’s 35 millimeter.

    The Aurora visible from skull island wouldn't be the Aurora Borealis.
