Episode Summary:

What happens when a rising TikTok star collides with one of the most thought-provoking film series of our time? Join us as we sit down with Alaysa to explore the rich tapestry of the ā€œPlanet of the Apesā€ prequel films. Before we embark on our cinematic journey, we share our excitement over ā€œHeartbreak Highā€ being renewed for its final season and critique Netflix's knack for axing beloved shows prematurely. We also reminisce about the enduring influence of series like "Gray's Anatomy" and "Hannibal", and celebrate the brilliant performances of actors such as Mads Mikkelsen.

Reality TV fans, this one's for you! We pull back the curtain on the Real Housewives franchise, dissecting its portrayal of women and the ethical dilemmas faced by its participants. From Andy Cohen’s evasive interview to the manipulation behind the scenes, we lay bare the complexities of reality television. Our chat isn't all heavy though; we sprinkle in some light-hearted banter comparing reality TV’s guilty pleasure allure to the cerebral satisfaction offered by shows like ā€œMr. Robotā€ and ā€œSuccessionā€.

Finally, we journey into the heart of the ā€œPlanet of the Apesā€ franchise, celebrating its masterful storytelling and moral ambiguity. We discuss Caesar’s rise and the powerful performances that bring this world to life, all while drawing poignant parallels to real-world issues. Expect laughs as we critique anime character crushes, and tears as we recount our favorite teenage books and music. From the intricate world-building to the groundbreaking motion capture technology, every aspect of this epic saga is on the table. Plus, we look ahead to the franchise’s future, pondering the legacy Caesar leaves behind and what lies in store for the next generation of apes.
