Wednesday, October 18, 2023 • Duration 01:07:42

We're back! It's the final episode of our Planet of the Apes season! One might think that a film titled War for the Planet of the Apes might be like a war movie.

Which species will end up winning dominion over the planet? Also, the Visitors (briefly) discuss Andor and give their thoughts on the Apes franchise as a whole. Download this episode now!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Season 3 · Episode 8

Thursday, July 13, 2023 • Duration 54:13

Matt Reeves, director of Cloverfield and The Batman, joins the Planet of the Apes franchise with this 2014 installment. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is without a doubt a new highpoint for the series. The amazing Andy Serkis returns as Caesar, with Toby Kebbell joining as the villainous ape Koba. A bevy of wonderful human actors also appear in this production, including Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, and Gary Oldman. The Visitors have almost nothing but praise for this movie, which goes even further than the previous film in reinvigorating this franchise for the 21st century. And speaking of this century, The Visitors pick the actors they'd like to see show up in the newest Ape film, coming in 2024. Download this episode so you can listen too!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Season 3 · Episode 7

Thursday, July 6, 2023 • Duration 52:15

Reboots are all the rage, or at least they were in 2011. Planet of the Apes gets another turn at the Reboot process with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's a film that has aged remarkably well over the last decade plus. A large portion of the credit goes to Andy Serkis, who the Visitors will be praising a lot here and in the remaining episodes to come. There are also some other actors in here that end up getting outshined by a CGI chimp, including Logan Roy?!? Also, the Visitors recall some of the reboots and remakes that came out in the first decade of the 2000s. Take a spin down memory lane and download this episode now!

Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes

Season 3 · Episode 6

Tuesday, May 9, 2023 • Duration 01:04:02

Tim Burton is an interesting choice to direct for a Planet of the Apes film. What might be interesting in theory doesn't hold up much in practice. The Visitors are at a real loss to say anything complimentary regarding this entry in the series. The plot is missing. The characters are plentiful but dull. There's money on screen in the production design, but to no real end. Should you watch this film yourself to experience it? Listen to this episode and find out! Spoiler: The answer is 'no'. Download now!

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

Season 3 · Episode 4

Thursday, March 23, 2023 • Duration 57:46

The Visitors jump ahead to the far-off future year of 1991. America is under fascistic rule. The Planet of the Apes series enters into a darker phase. This is a movie that channels the hatred and chaos of the early 70s into a pop—art cataclysm of slavery and revolution. An ape named Caesar will take the reins and possibly forge a new destiny for the planet Earth. The result ends up being the most 80s a film from the 70s has ever looked. Put on your black turtleneck and download this episode. Also, find out the Visitors favorite fictional robots from film and television.
