Talking Apes TV: A Planet of the Apes Podcast

Hey Hey Ape fans! At Stan Lee’s Comikaze in Los Angeles last week, we found some HUGE Apes fans. Because of this happy accident, we bring you a recap & interviews from Comikaze with Planet Of The Apes: Ape City Cosplay Crew.

We know we said last week that we'd be breaking down the 5th episode in the Planet Of The Apes TV series, "The Legacy", but these interviews were too good to pass up. Not to worry, we will give you the commentary next week on The Legacy that stars a 10 year old future Freddy Krueger.

Also on this episode we are going to read some listener feedback from Facebook, Twitter, iTunes and email. We’re also going to see how POTA crosses over into the Star Wars universe.

And we reveal the WINNER of the Apes TV series box set!!! (Keep your hairy paws crossed!)

Hey Hey Apes fans! This week Richard and Mark discuss the fourth episode, “The Good Seeds.” (aired 10/4/1974). When Galen hurts his leg and can't travel, Virdon and Burke seek refuge in a farm till their friend recovers. The farm is operated by a gruff but decent ape named Polar and his family. Throughout the episode, Pete shows Polar and Anto better farming skills. Polar is receptive to change, but Anto is not. What will happen?

LISTENER FEEDBACK: We got several emails this week with some great points which we will go over.

Hey Hey Ape fans! Join Richard and Mark as they discuss their favorite episode of the Planet Of The Apes TV series, “The Trap” (aired 9/27/1974). This episode is a departure from most - we see General Urko and Pete Burke working together in order to survive. While trying to get themselves out of a centuries-old subway station, Urko sees a poster for the San Francisco zoo. If Urko weren’t angry enough at the human race, seeing a gorilla in a cage tells him that maybe apes weren’t always the supreme. How will Pete survive this?

LISTENER FEEDBACK: We heard you! And you bring up some very good points that tie the current Ape movies with the originals.

And what’s a podcast brought to you by Skywalking Through Neverland without a Give-Away! This week we start our Planet Of The Apes DVD boxed set give-away. Listen in for details or ENTER HERE.

And once again thanks for listening!

Hey Hey Ape fans! Talking Apes TV is the podcast that explores the Planet Of The Apes TV series and why they still stand up after 40 years.

Plot Summary: Virdon, Burke and Galen stumble into a village led by a chimpanzee prefect, Barlow, who keeps the human populace calm by gladiatorial combat. When Barlow finds the magnetic disc containing the record of the flight of Pete and Alan, they must get it back in order to have any hope of returning home. Galen goes to the village to attempt to retrieve the disc. While he is speaking with the prefect, Virdon and Burke are captured. Listen for some great conversation and the many historical references to the 1970's in this episode.

Hey Hey Ape fans! Thanks for listening to our first episode of Talking Apes TV last week. We are very happy to report that we are now part of the Shotglass Digital network. Talking Apes TV is the podcast that explores the Planet Of The Apes TV series and why they still stand up after 40 years.

This week we look at the second episode of the Apes TV series titled 'The Gladiators', which aired back on Friday September 20, 1974. Just to be forewarned, this is not a review show, but we do break down these Apes episodes so there may be some spoilers. But then again you've had 40 years and a few weeks now to see these. However if there is a big twist we will try hard to work around that so you can experience it yourself and get that WOW factor.

Look for a great conversation on this episode as well as a future BeastMaster.

Welcome to the first episode of Skywalking Through Neverland's new spin-off miniseries "Talking Apes TV" - where we take a look at the unsung Planet Of The Apes TV series from 1974. The 40th anniversary of the TV show demands that we do this! But I am not alone. Hosting alongside with me is not my beautiful wife JediTink Sarah, but the Skywalking Through Neverland creative consultant, Mark Oguschewitz. In our intro episode we give you a refresher of the films and the reasons why the Planet Of The Apes series is so important and has held up over the decades! One word - subtext. What are the Apes movies really about? Each film represents a sign of the time, and the issues the world was dealing with during the years 1968-1973. And what episode is complete without including the disco mega-hit - Apes Shuffle!
