Talking Apes TV: A Planet of the Apes Podcast

Hey Hey Ape Fans!

We celebrate our one-year ape-iversary of Talking Apes TV with this special episode of controversy! Richard and Mark give you an update on the Felix Silla/Gary Dubin debate. The little gorilla boy in the original Planet Of The Apes film should've said, "Guess who I am?!" instead of "Look it's a Man!" And if that wasn't enough, there was "Who's that Zira?" controversy.

What episode of Return to the Planet of the Apes are we covering this time? If you look at some sources then you would have watched Lagoon of Peril. But if you look at other sources then you watched The Unearthly Prophecy. After taking apart this puzzle, we came to the conclusion that story-wise, The Unearthly Prophecy, would come as the third episode in the series. So that is the one we are covering.

THE UNEARTHLY PROPHECY: While escaping from Urko and his soldiers Bill and Jeff find a secret door that leads underground. There they meet - The Underdwellers - cloaked humans with special powers. They also find another surprise from their past!

In honor of Halloween and the tradition of giving, podcast composer Rob Dehlinger's new Flintstones inspired jingle, "Yabba Dabba Urko" is a ringtone-treat which can be found at Facebook.com/talkingapestv.

And lastly, we think we finally found out how Urko keeps that top-heavy helmet on his head! Listen to the latest episode of Talking Apes TV and find out!

Now, Go Ape!

Alan and Pete butt heads with Dr. Zoran, a chimpanzee sent by the High Council to experiment on the humans. At the same time, Urko wants to burn the village to the ground, with everyone inside it.

We also reveal the two new winners of the Apes CD soundtrack provided by La-La Land Records. Listen to find out if you're the lucky ape!

Happy Holidays Ape Fans! Have we got a show for you! We are taking our customary break from reviewing an episode of the animated series, Return To The Planet Of The Apes, to talk with some special guests. On January 24, 2017, Titan Books will release the anthology book, Planet of the Apes: Tales From The Forbidden Zone based on the characters and situations from the classic era.

On this episode we will be talking with co-editors and story contributors Rich Handley and Jim Beard. These high-energy guests tell us about the making of the book, what authors were chosen and which writers were interested but couldn't fit it into their busy schedules (no spoilers but one of these writers has written science fiction/fantasy films based a long time ago in a galaxy far far away). They even hint at whether or not any of the authors had written a story based on the mystery of Urko's helmet!

We also talk with John Jackson Miller, an author who has played in many of our beloved universes from Star Wars, Star Trek and Halo. He tells us about his story and where it fits in the classic ape era and how he used TV appearances by Ape actors in his plot. He also talks about his new Star Trek and Halo books and graphic novels. We want to thank all the Talking Apes TV listeners who posted questions for Mr. Miller on our Facebook page. He was excited to hear from you!

Richard and Mark also talk about the new War For The Planet Of The Apes trailer that was just released. A great discussion for a great new film coming July 14, 2017!

We hope everyone has an Urkotastic holiday season and now, GO APE!

Talking Apes wraps up 2024 in a big fun way! Kevin (Proximus Caesar) Durand and Bobby (Cornelius) Porter leave video messages. We tally up the final box office results of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as well as go over the recent sequel news.

We had to talk about South Carolina’s inadvertent live production of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. How many of us cheered when primates escaped from a research facility and were “just being goofy monkeys jumping back and forth playing with each other” (actual quote from CBS News). Like us, did you hope the 43 escaped monkeys were going to take over humanity?

We read more of your comments on the Planet of the Apes TV series and Talking Apes anniversaries. And there is still more to go.

How many saw Rick Baker’s classic Apes display set up in his yard for Trick or Treaters on Halloween night? Unfortunately we did not see it live but gathered lots of video and pics as well as the gruesome footage of Rick demolishing the sets the day after. (Be forewarned it is really hard to watch.)

Since we are so proud of our efforts from last year, we’ll replay our melodically and on key ‘14 episodes of Planet of the Apes’ to the tune of ‘12 Days of Christmas’! You’re welcome!

Now, have a happy holiday season and let’s GO APE in 2025!

Happy Holidays to all the cheerful chimps, festive gorillas, jolly orangutans, and you damn dirty humanoids. We are so excited about this all-new power-packed episode. First, we have a treat for you! Do you ever forget what the exact Planet of the Apes TV episodes were about and where they fall in order?

We came up with an ape-themed rendition of “The 12 days of Christmas” but summarizing the series episodes. But wait, aren't there 14 episodes? You are so right so we made an extended version. (Caution: Richard and Kevin are not singers so listen with caution.) To make it all the much better, we asked Dr. Zaius to step in. Let us know if this rendition helps you remember.

Also on this Holiday Special, we continue our colorful commentary of Marvel’s ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES adaptation series (1975-1976). Here, we will break down the fifth of six issues, titled - INTO THE FORBIDDEN ZONE! Thank you to those who sent in holiday greetings! Now get ready for 2024, the year we go APe-ril!
