Main Topic:

For our Main Topic this week we're continuing our deepdive of the rebootuated POTA franchise with the 2014 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes! We're not sure why RISE came before DAWN... they must be farming apes, however this continues to fit nicely into our 'movies we should have seen but haven't' anthology. Somehow even better special effects juxtapose with significantly less interesting humans... this is going to be a fun one!

Let us know if this is a trilogy that slipped under the radar for you by messaging [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!

Main Topic:

This week we're revisiting the rebootuation of a classic franchise, with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes! This also fits nicely into our 'movies we should have seen but haven't' anthology. Spectacular special effects clash with a post-release cancelled James Franco.. does it still live up to the reputation?

Main Topic:

For our Main Topic this week we close out the trilogy of the rebootuated POTA franchise with the 2017 War for the Planet of the Apes! If it was confusing what RISE came before DAWN, then the WAR at least seems in the right place. Continuing our 'movies we should have seen but haven't' anthology, we somehow missed this one! Biblical allegories and confusing characterization, will this live up to what came before... you don't want to miss this one!
