  • Summary

  • In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe, lies a medium-sized start, and one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead. We, your dear podcasters, are delighted to swerve HARD from last episode's heartwarming story with a film about political ruin, dystopian society, nuclear fear, religious zealotry...and sexy shirtless men with an obvious Katie pick for our SEQUEL SENSATION theme -- 1970's Beneath the Planet of the Apes! An army of civilized apes...a fortress of radiation-crazed super humans...Earth's final battle is about to begin--beneath the atomic rubble of what was once the city of New York. So listen in as we subjugate Ashley and Graham to his over 50 year film (they both paid attention-ish) and talk about how this sequel got made into one of the world's most well-known franchises (when franchises were barely a thing) -- despite a near bankruptcy and literally everything going wrong from the start. We also chat about New Wave Science fiction, this film's SUB-PAR make up effects, the absolute sexiness of lead actor James Franciscus (aka the Caffeine-free, diet Coke version of Charlton Heston) and how you follow up the intensely mind-blowing ending of the first film (and then, how do you make a third movie?!). We also have TWO mini-Let Me Introduce Yous and discuss what intelligent animals we would want ruling the planet in the future. Join us as we reveal our innermost selves to you!
