Projected Hues

What Is More Dangerous Than Famine? The Unknown…

On this final episode of Projected Hues, Jessica and I wrap up our podcast journey with Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970).

When we started Projected Hues, it was honestly just the two of us wanting an excuse to talk about movies we love and see where the conversations would take us. Somewhere along the way, it turned into something real — something we built week by week.

Jessica has been such a huge part of what made this podcast work. Her insight, her humor, and the way she always brought something thoughtful (or unexpected) to the table helped shape the show from the very beginning. I’m so grateful for the time and energy she gave to it, and for all the conversations we got to share.

It feels strange and fitting to end things here, deep into the Planet of the Apes series, with a movie that’s all about endings, uncertainty, and what comes next.

So this is a thank you to everyone who listened along with us.

The end of the beginning… or the beginning of the end?
