Mighty Joe Young is a 1998 American epic live-action adventure film and remake of the 1949 film of the same title about a giant mountain gorilla brought to a wildlife preserve by a young woman who raised him and a zoologist to protect him from the threat of poachers until one decides to seek his revenge and capture and kill Joe. It was directed by Ron Underwood and starred Bill Paxton, Charlize Theron, Rade Šerbedžija, Naveen Andrews, Peter Firth, Regina King and David Paymer. Creature-suit actor John Alexander played the title character, who in this version, is much larger than the original. The film was released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution on December 25, 1998, received mixed reviews and was a box-office bomb, grossing only $50.6 million in the United States against a $90 million production budget.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Mighty Joe Young on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
