Camp Kaiju: Monster Movie Podcast

Gladiator apes! Renaissance apes! Apes playing baseball! Sadly, none of these ideas made it into the film we got, where Mark Wahlberg crash lands on a planet of... apes... and leads a rebellion. We discuss the bizarre production journey of Tim Burton's infamous entry of the famed franchise, and welcome Naomi to help us out! Plus, Peter Lorre is back to review The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
