Jack and Geoff welcome Erin Clarke back to the show for a look at 2016’s The Legend of Tarzan! This big-budget attempt to pull Tarzan back into the cultural zeitgeist may not have resonated with audiences, but it definitely pulled our three hosts into a rambunctious conversation you don’t wanna miss!

Jack and Geoff go guestless as they squadron up for an Ape-tacular May the APEth celebration and discuss The Rise of Skywalker, the chimpiest Star Wars adventure of them all! In addition to an in-depth discussion of Albrekh, the Symeong Sith alchemist, the two share general thoughts on this controversial closing chapter of the roman-numeraled Star Wars films. May the APES be with you!

Jack and Geoff welcome Sam Stovold back to to explore the final three issues of Marvel’s Terror on the POTA. It’s yet another canceled-before-its-time 70’s Apes property, but this one goes out big, with delightful Viking-Ape bacchanals, rampaging gorilla cyborgs, and Brutus’ most diabolical scheme yet! The three also discuss what might have been with a look at the script for Terror’s unpublished 16th chapter.

Jack and Geoff welcome Kevin Young back for a journey into the weird world of the PSYCHEDROME! Venturing into new territory in Marvel’s Terror on the POTA, the three encounter murderous winged demon-monkeys, bizarre brain-washing aliens, and Colorado hippie-apes with a penchant for peyote! They also touch upon the Wizard of Oz, Chariots of Fire, and the best kind of comics SFX work. Get on the jazz!

As Jack and Geoff delve further into Marvel’s Terror on the POTA, they find even more wonders: murderously territorial ape savages, a secret bunker hidden behind Mt Rushmore, an eccentric ancient tech-harvester and his cigar-smoking gibbon apeservant! In this robust discussion, the pair also discuss the cinematic oeuvre of action star Scott Adkins, the key to success at the Daily Bugle, and classic MAD Magazine memories!

As Jack and Geoff delve deeper into Marvel Comics’ Terror on the Planet of the Apes, they find many new delights: ape gypsies, great-death beasts, little feller sidekicks, awesomely-named companions, and of course more sinister giant brains and the cyborg mutant drone army they command! All this, plus the resurrection of not one but two recently-shelved features!

For this month’s bonus ape-isode, Jack and Geoff are joined by returning guest Barm for a look at 1951’s Bride of the Gorilla! And despite the film’s near-dearth of apes, the three still find a lot to say about Raymond Burr, classic Leone westerns, and how not to incur a gypsy’s wrath! **NOTE** Apologies for the audible construction sounds occurring outside the ApeCast studios during recording. The urban Japanese jungle is as unyielding as the home of the titular Burr-illa!

Jack and Geoff return to 1974 for a look at the first three issues of Marvel’s Terror on the Planet of the Apes! It’s all here: endearing human and chimp protagonists, murderous gorillas, bizarre mutants, and a whole bunch of MARVELous 70’s wackiness! Also, the first annual APE-cademy Awards! APE-celsior!

With the animated series in the rearview, Jack and Geoff tackle the final five Tales From the Forbidden Zone! And it’s a fruitful ape-ucopia of delights, as they discuss truth-seeking chimpanzees, murderous gorillas, and scheming orangutans. Also: a trip to the mysterious Orient, a Smash Bros-style all-star assemblage, and some Archie talk!

Jack and Geoff welcome Duncan Hughes back to the show for a look at episode 5 of Genndy Tartakovsky’s prehistoric animated epic Primal! As the Ape-Men rage, the boys rave over this delightfully brutal caveman/ape-man smashdown. Squadron ape!
