The ApeCast

Jack and Geoff are joined by Kevin Young for a bonus ape-isode examination of Space Chimps! This heretofore-unknown 2008 animated "hit" has a solid voice cast and references things as diverse as 2001, Californian geography and the Macarena, but is it any good? Give a listen, chimp outside the bun and find out!

Seafaring adventure continues to abound as Jack & Geoff delve deeper into Marvel's Future History Chronicles! There's a Federation of united city-ships, the first-ever appearance of a bar in the POTA, and mutants like you've never seen! Amidst it all, our hosts also discuss Japanese donuts, appreciate cool-headed gorillas, and attempt to map the Triforces of power, courage and wisdom to classic POTA characters!

Avast! Jack and Geoff set sail for the stranger tides of Marvel's Future History Chronicles, and discover a pirate's ransom worth of buried treasure! Among the massive roving city-ships, cutlass-wielding gorilla pirates, and orangutan-helmed bio-mechanical submarines, there is much to marvel at in this, the most bizarre and delightfully pulpy Apes adventure to be found this side of Davy Jones' locker. Prepare to have your timbers shivered!

For years, fans have wondered about what exactly went down in the period between Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and its Battle-ful sequel to account for the drastic changes in Apes society. But as it turns out, Marvel Comics bridged the gap back in 1976 with Quest for the POTA, and Jack & Geoff are here to explore it up! They discuss what this two-part story does and does not do to explain Battle's bizarre new status quo, while marveling at the writing and artistic talents of some new familiar favorites!

In a meeting of the podcasts, Marvel Star Wars Explorers Brian Rudloff and Sam Stovold join Jack & Geoff for a deep dive into all five of Marvel's POTA film adaptations! Over these 700+pages of classic goodness, the four discuss Doug Moench's always-reliable scripting, the 70's Filipino comics artist invasion, comparisons to Mad Magazine, Calvin & Hobbes, and much much more. Listen to this episode and make yours Marvel!

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!
