Back in 2017, Matt Reeves, Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, and company put about as perfect a bow as possible on the Planet of the Apes prequel/reboot trilogy with the epic conclusion of War for the Planet of the Apes. Since then, Disney bought out 20th Century Fox putting anything Planet of the Apes-related in the Mouse House. Any new projects would have to go through those filters and scruples. The arrival of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes earlier this year provoked many pre-release questions, answered them with a new continuation of a good thing Fox had going, and, best of all, didn’t screw it up.
For their 170th episode, two primate film critics, two post-apocalyptic dads, and two tenet-loving school teachers,
Will Johnson and
Don Shanahan, circle back to a film they missed together in the form of the early 2024 summer blockbuster
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. They circled the calendar for this one after their series on the reboot trilogy and made sure to see and talk about how this new trilogy starter played. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
