On this month’s We 🦧 Movies, we’re chatting about an ape-solutely fantastic piece of science fiction filmmaking, the 1968 Planet of the Apes! How incredible is all the stuff even before we get to the apes? Have you marveled at all the fabulously designed sets inside Ape City? And what was the budget for all those people-catcher nets on this production? Had to be pretty high. PLUS: Womb-y Babies vs. Egg Babies!

Planet of the Apes (1968) stars Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, James Whitmore, James Daly, Linda Harrison, Robert Gunner, Jeff Burton, and Maurice Evans as Dr. Zaius; directed by Franklin J. Schaffner.

Thanks so much for being the kick-ass Patreon subscriber that you are! Your support keeps the lights on around the old clubhouse. We know you have a lot of options for podcast enjoyment and we're stoked you choose to spend some time with us!

No guys, I give you $10 a month because I like your content. I’ve been listening to the pod since 2014, been a Patron probably as long as you’ve had one. We obviously don’t agree on politics but you guys make me laugh. “It’s ok to like a movie” and vote Democrat.lol.

Just relistened to the Soylent Green episode last week. Great double feature with this and all those Heston impressions.

The twist ending is literally the DVD cover. It's wild.

I met Booth Coleman who played zeius in the Apes TV series while at the LA comic con shortly after the Tim Burton apes movie was announced. He was sitting by himself I walked up and asked for his autograph and while writing on it I asked if he would be in Burton Apes movie if asked. He looked up at me and glared growling "why the hell would I ever want to do that?" And shoved the autograph at me. At the time I thought he was an asshole but perhaps he knew what a shit show it would be.

Yeah but it’s not okay to vote republican, because they are hate-filled fascists who are actually trying to harm people.

POTA is probably what first really got me into sci-fi as a teen. Opened a whole new world for me. Loved the episode. (Me maniacally laughing Heston style) I listened to it a second time and then busted out the whole dvd box set. I wish you would do the sequels as someone suggested 😭

As much of a cult classic that this movie is I feel like it's still underrated, at least compared to other sci-fi around the time. I feel like it's still not mentioned enough even though the more recent trilogy has garnered high praise.

You guys only did this so you could do impressions of Phil Hartmans Charlton Heston impression

The book actually does address the language issue. The character in the novel spends months observing and apes and learning the language enough to converse with them. It’s also written with a frame story around the narrative and a completely different twist ending. I can only imagine going to see the movie in 1968 and getting a similar, though vastly different story and completely different twist at the end. Also the apes in the book are much more advanced with the use of technology and such, though I like how tue movies brings them down in technology development I do like how the book describes how instead of having crosswalks on street corners they have monkey bars they climb to go up and over, while holding their briefcases with their feet, it would have been worth it just for that to see in a movie.
