Main Topic:

This week we're revisiting the rebootuation of a classic franchise, with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes! This also fits nicely into our 'movies we should have seen but haven't' anthology. Spectacular special effects clash with a post-release cancelled James Franco.. does it still live up to the reputation?

Let us know if this is a trilogy that slipped under the radar for you by messaging [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!
