Planet of the Apes (1968)

I never noticed the Leslie Nielsen of it all until y’all mentioned it and then my brain immediately went to Forbidden Planet (1956) in which Leslie is basically as skeezy as Taylor when he teaches a child/animal-like woman to love. Both gross and both great movies! Though PoTA is more self aware imo (probably bc of the excellent source material).

I loved this. However: you guys missed the absolute best part of Stop the Planet of the Apes I Want to Get Off, which is when McClure/Taylor first says something and the apes gasp and its like: Apes: “He can talk! He can talk, he can talk , he can talk, he can talk—“ McClure, chest thrust out heroically: “I can SIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!”

The Cheesecake Factory calorie game was RIVETING!

The ending of this movie still hits! Got sucked into a Twilight Zone marathon after I rewatched this.

I don’t even know how Rodgers managed to nail the impression of Zaius talking through the facial prosthetic. Must have been talking through an ABZ-branded dental dam.

I’m convinced that the same laugh track was used for Taylor and the gang finding the watering hole, and Charlie and Grandpa on that fizzy lifting drank 🫧

Loved the Foucault reference, Stanger!

I vote, that if the Boyz ever forget to talk about something they feel is very important to the episode, they add 20 minutes or so to that subject

Man Rodgers’s impression of Lucious is also a dead on impression of Moranis in Ghostbusters

Danny Elfman is probably the only guy I can recognize when I hear his score in a movie. Just looked him up and married to Bridget Fonda. Not too shabby.

I love a good apology from Stanger

Celery juice was brought up on last week's Ask Ronna episode. Bryan said he used to do celery juice diet and Ronna said it was "appalling and revolting" and "not enough celery in the world for that diet".

What's a better New York movie, The French Connection or Planet of the Apes?

Blaming the creation of smart humans on Galen is a lot like the story of Yakub

I showed Dr. Zaius MY planet of the apes, we shared beautiful kisses. Simpatico..

Always loved Heston showing up in Wayne’s World 2 https://youtu.be/6eWsFFQP0gA

Simpsons: https://youtu.be/JlmzUEQxOvA

Will Penny (1968) is another good Heston movie. Donald Pleasance shows up, playing a deranged preacher, along with Bruce Dern, Lee Majors and Ben Johnson. And Joan Hackett's character openly remarks how bad Heston's character stinks. So the apes knew what they were talking about.

HELL YEAH

I knew a kid really into martial arts. He was like a 4th degree black belt by the time he was in high school and he kept it up so that he learned weapons and stuff. He had a wall of sai and nunchucks and all his belts on display. He had tapes of him at tournaments doing katas and sparring, real San Fernando All-Valley vibes. It was pretty wild and he took it super seriously. I know in college he had a drunken brawl and hospitalized a guy.

If you want a complete history behind The Simpsons' Planet of the Apes musical you need to read The Vulture article about it, it's so good.

The Gabriel Hardman apes comics are worth checking out

I almost got my brother to believe that Planet of the Apes was actually just a wild remake of Inherit the Wind.

The Stanger apology starting an episode is always exciting

Dr Doolittle Shadow Wolves?

Mark Davis got a new haircut since the record. He’s bald now. https://blacksportsonline.com/2023/02/raiders-owner-mark-davis-goes-viral-over-his-new-bald-look/2/

Going through the Planet of the Apes Musical from "A Fish Called Selma" lyric for lyric before even getting into the movie = class act. Great job, fellas.

I loved those marathon days where TCM played all the movies in a row. Conquest is probably my favorite along with this movie. Surprising that a bunch of movies from the 60s and 70s could hold the attention of a ten year old Dustin.

Err…ok, I thought the politics were animal rights…I must be the reason films have dumbed down. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Naming the doctor “Galen” Is the sort of joke that modern screenwriters couldn’t make or couldn’t resist wasting 10 pages explaining.

This is my favorite movie. I love it both genuinely and ironically.

"Can i play the piano anymore?" "Of course you can!" "Well i couldn't before!"

'Playmate of the Apes' Shadow Wolves?

Apology accepted, buddy.

I hadnt seen this since I was a kid. I was really surprised how well it held up. Did anyone else think the lady ape was kinda hot?

I can’t believe they didn’t mention John Chambers was in the CIA and was the inspiration for John Goodman’s character in Argo. Edit: oh wait I kept listening, they do get to it
