Kong: Skull Island, first released in 2017, is billed as an action flick but, really, is just one long cut-scene. The film, largely set in 1973, follows a small contingent of American soldiers at the end of the Vietnam War exploring an uncharted island for a just-one-last-mission pitstop on the way home. What could go wrong?

The setting allows for a whole lot of
Apocalypse Now imagery and era-iconic rock music, to the point where you’d be forgiven for thinking
Skull Island is just another jingoistic military film. Not twenty minutes in, you’ll be disabused of that notion. An unearthed tree flies out of the sky, spearing a helicopter. Everything explodes. King Kong looms, 100 feet tall, against the horizon. From there, it’s a mix of horror and nearly nonstop action as the surviving soldiers all try to traverse Skull Island without angering the region’s building-sized monsters. (They fail. A lot.)

Gray Fox
Gray fox populations are dropping, and a research project aims to inform measures to protect them in Indiana. It aims to collar gray foxes in two study areas: a central site in Shelby, Decatur, and Bartholomew counties, and a southern study site in Perry, Crawford, Harrison, and Orange counties.
It is a partnership between the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Wildlife Ecology Institute and Luther College. Lead researcher with Wildlife Ecology Institute Tim Hiller spoke with WFYI’s Taylor Bennett about what the project hopes to accomplish.
