This week we're officially and appropriately going ape! It's time for the original 1968 Planet of the Apes.
The ram's horn has got us punchy this week as we're learning that this is somehow the least pessimistic version of the movie, sort out our feelings on Charleton Heston, and rave about Jerry Goldsmith's pioneering experimental soundtrack. Plus, we're touching on some of the original 5-film franchise's wildest moments.
You may be asking, what do the McCarthy hearings and the CIA have to do with Planet of the Apes? It turns out, so much.
Next week we're traveling to South Korea for a little movie you may have heard of: Bong Joon-ho's Parasite from 2019!
