The ApeCast Jack

Godzilla and Kong are back, getting all super-charged and B.E.A.S.T. Gloved as a new threat emerges from Hollow Earth! Jack and Geoff welcome back the GvK crew of Erin, Lauren and Sam to help unpack the smashy, silly goodness of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire!

As Beware the POTA races towards its Jarl-tacular conclusion, Jack & Geoff are joined by Sam Stovold for a discussion about Hominidae culture, far-from-leftfield Wizard of Oz references, and all kinds of new Nova shenanigans!

After Dawn of the POTA--and before the impending War--Jack and Geoff find themselves once again reading an interstitial novel by Greg Keyes: War for the POTA: Revelations! As Caesar and company reel from the conflict in San Francisco, a new human threat--led by a soon-to-be-familiar Colonel--arrives from the north. Meanwhile, ancillary and new ape characters alike assert themselves as the ape/human conflict moves inexorably towards War!

It's an exceedingly rare occurrence, but every once in a while Jack & Geoff find themselves discussing a Planet of the Apes movie. And with this look at Dawn of the POTA, they find themselves discussing an all-timer! Barm and Kev Young join the pair as they bask in this masterpiece's masterful ape acting, superlative special effects, and compelling characterizations. You will believe an ape can cry!

And why exactly should one Beware the Planet of the Apes #2? Does it have anything to do with the other group of mutants in Yankee Stadium? Or maybe it's the secret society of gorillas with the gibbon underclass living nearby? Whatever the reason, Lucius-seekers Zira and Cornelius are about to find out, and Nova, Jack, and Geoff are the humans along for the ride!

Before the dawn of the era of this podcast where Jack & Geoff watch and discuss Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, it’s Before the Dawn! This bite-sized promotional comic was released online in advance of the movie, as were three short films under the same banner. Your Ape hosts are here to discuss all of these, plus a look at the mobile game Plague Inc.—specifically its Simian Flu DLC—and the VR game Crisis on the POTA!
