Comments

David can’t help himself but perk up to any 90’s uk music reference. can’t ever say “Firestarter” around this mf

Austin McDougle

Needed this loved this

Bailey scieszka

Navy beans, navy beans meatloaf sandwich.

we're just normal apes, just innocent apes

I may be blinded by the TBS Bond marathons from the 80’s where you’d end up viewing them in random order. Now I’ve got the blu-ray set and usually just end up watching Moonraker for some reason.

Matthew Comegys

I love both, by the way.

Tiago Augusto Souza Barreiro

The SPECTRE storyline begs to differ. It ran through all of the five initial Connery films, the Lazenby one (a masterpiece IMHO), then back to Connery in Diamonds Are Forever which continues all 6 film continuity - then we had Bond paying his respects to his late wife Theresa Bond in For Your Eyes Only, continuing a plot line from 12 years earlier. Both Dalton and Brosnan Bonds also vaguely allude to their ill fated marriages, proving they are the same character as Sean Connery’s. Bond Mania was here before Ape Mania.

Tiago Augusto Souza Barreiro

I think the difference is that the Apes went for a lot of serialization, whereas Bond only did a little bit of that before Daniel Craig showed up.

Matthew Comegys

Wasn’t the Bond series an even earlier example of franchise merchandising success? They had 007 swimsuits, for God’s sake.

Tiago Augusto Souza Barreiro

you're right and you should say it

Soren Budge

I gotta say, I haven't been this invested in the podcast in a long time. Apes has been a blast, and the Buster series on main was a huge swing that has totally paid off.

Tyler Dietz

Hot take: War for the Planet of the Apes is my favourite of the Serkis trilogy.

Joshua Ochoa

I listen to podcasts while strolling around the Japanese countryside, so I’m having fun replaying the Apes movies in my head while listening along. Could Blank Check be making me mentally sharper? Probably will have to watch ‘Battle’ for the next one, though, as I’ve only seen it once before.

Matthew Comegys

If I remember right, Milo gets the name Caesar when the humans open the Bible to a random page and have him point to a word, and then they're alarmed when it's Caesar, a ruler. It's early on, while he's still pretending he can't talk so he can't tell them his name is Milo.

re: lighting stuff on fire, I highly recommend the James Bonding episode about Live and Let Die, with Paul F. Tompkins, where Tompkins, Gourley, and Matt Mira progressively uncover stories of each one of them almost burning down their own house as a kid OR just being accused of it for very strange reasons

Rad Rodge

In my DVD copy at least Armando says that. An astronaut brought it back to earth, killing the pets and rapidly evolving all apes. Two plothole birds!

Anthony Regina

Am I misremembering but wasn’t there a cut of the movie where they explain all the cats and dogs have been killed by a space meteor illness ?

Michael Chan

“California doesn’t have any oranges.” 😂 Just a whole region, Orange County, and a city within, Orange Grove, but being NYC guys, fair play. The cover of No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom is a topical reference.

Tony Jennaway

love the discussion of fresh raisins

Jack R

Escape might be my fave

Joshua Ochoa

Glad Griff learnt that he was wrong about the pets dying.

Joshua Ochoa

Rewatched all five of these movies over this past weekend and had a blast. The original and Conquest are legitimately neck and neck for my favorite of the series.

Drew Wobser

So glad David got to learn about “We’re just innocent men”

Matthew O'Reilly

This movie was incredibly hard to watch. Very powerful, very sad. Pretty sure it's about time the human race was taken over

Jordan Gibson

has anyone found a good place online to stream a quality version of the extended cut? prime video seems to have it available in other regions but i can't figure out which region

Sean Elliott

Caesar...is...home.
