Talking Apes TV: A Planet of the Apes Podcast

“What a Wonderful Day!” In this episode we break down the long-awaited KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Former Talking Apes co-host Mark Oguschewitz (Underexposed Cinematic Treasures) joins in as we discuss the story, favorite moments, funniest moments, and easter eggs. How many easter eggs did you find? We found lots that connected the classic films and TV series. We may have forced some but we got them to work. We also discuss the “gospel” word of the Lawgiver. And was Proximus Caesar inspired by Caesar the ape or Julius Caesar? We also read your comments on the film. We were surprised by the outcome.
