Holiness, the whole point of a Doomsday Bomb is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Why didn't you tell the apes, EH?!

2025-03-20 22:08:53 +0000 UTCI agree that "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" was disappointing. 2/3rds of it was just a retread of the original movie with an inferior lead actor. It was probably done to save money (replacing Charlton Heston as the lead, and reusing the same sets and costumes) and eat up screen time, until finally getting Brent and Nova to the same place Taylor was. Aside from budget constraints and wanting to reuse as much as possible from the original "Planet of the Apes" film, I believe the 3rd act, which revealed the surviving "humans" was a commentary on the worst aspects of human nature and the insane belief that M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) is a viable doctrine for maintaining peace. It's not peace; it's a fragile stalemate that can cause the end of the world at the slightest provocation. I imagine that in 1970, it was a powerful statement against the Cold War's nuclear standoff. Still, it wasn't as compelling or timeless as the original "Planet of the Apes" insights and commentary about civilization's dogmatic beliefs being used to suppress scientific truth, religious zealots marginalizing scientists and free-thinkers, and corrupt leaders imposing an oppressive hierarchical social order, including the "justification" of slavery because the enslaved people are deemed "inferior" to their slavers. I would've preferred if the sequel had continued to explore those themes rather than introduce mask-wearing psychic mutant-humans who worshipped a nuclear missile. I don't mean to be nitpicky, but it was absolutely absurd that the bomb still worked after 2000 years. "BtPotA" is the second worst "Planet of the Apes" movie after Tim Burton's. TBH I wouldn't mind if Cassie watches the next few sequels because they are better and return to interesting social commentary. Regardless, I'm most looking forward to the four most recent "Planet of the Apes" movies. They're amazing and vastly superior at exploring the CHARACTERS rather than dwelling primarily on philosophical elements.

Clarence Newman
2025-03-14 13:35:57 +0000 UTCMy mistake. Then again, maybe she was pursuing some no-good out-of-towners with a baseball bat. Should we request Cassie watch The Warriors (1979)?

Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:24:32 +0000 UTCJust Say No! to bad sequels, Cassie.
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:19:29 +0000 UTCThe Crow is my favorite thumbnail of Cassie.
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:16:53 +0000 UTCClarence’s comment is funnier if you just read it as he’s married to one of the characters from A Bug’s Life.
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:14:57 +0000 UTCAnd a lovely old school bonnet?
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:10:10 +0000 UTC“ The only good Human Is a un-alived human” (in the modern vernacular). Is that the one you’re referring to?
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:03:59 +0000 UTCActually she was at a Gathering of the juggalos, not a KISS concert. Common misconception.
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 12:00:49 +0000 UTC"humans (Homo sapiens) are the last surviving species of the genus Homo." I was *greatly* offended by the gorilla's war cry in their war of extinction against man.
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-14 11:54:13 +0000 UTCEh. I felt insulted that Cassie didn't even bother to clean up between going to the Kiss concert and taking this picture.
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-14 11:50:35 +0000 UTCI thought Cassie just had really frilly shoulder pads in the thumbnail.

2025-03-14 05:04:22 +0000 UTCFor anyone interested in this subject here are some videos from a college biology professor who can explain human and other primate evolution better than I can. Gorillas Are Monkeys, and So Are You! You Can't Evolve Out of a Clade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkO8k12QCP0&t=13s Evolution Made Simple (With Snakes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcs8HgWzKYU
Richard Maurer
2025-03-14 04:40:35 +0000 UTCAs an aside, humans (Homo sapiens) are the last surviving species of the genus Homo. They are great apes characterized by their hairlessness, bipedalism, and high intelligence.
Clay F
2025-03-14 04:29:30 +0000 UTCOkay, I’ll explain this again. Humans, along with the other species of great ape (chimps, gorillas, orangutans) are all concurrent species. Humans didn’t evolve from chimps but instead share a common (extinct) ancestor. In these PotA movies the apes, with their limited understanding of science, believe that all three currently dominate ape species evolved from humans but we know this isn’t true because (among other science reasons) of the remains of human civilization show that this our Earth, where humans once dominated the other ape species due to their evolved higher intelligence. In the PotA world the three non-human great ape species have evolved from their more primitive ancestors not from humans, who in that world have “de-evolved”.

🚩
2025-03-14 04:14:49 +0000 UTCIt's been a while since I'd seen this one. I remembered thinking it was my least favorite of these movies, but could only remember the cult of the atomic bomb (which was spoofed in an episode of Futurama). Charlton Heston only appeared near the end and dies; I'd totally forgotten about that.

2025-03-14 03:01:32 +0000 UTCModern man is the missing link between apes and human beings.

2025-03-14 02:57:38 +0000 UTCCassie, POTA was simply HUGE in the early 1970's! There is even a TV series that lasted one or two seasons. As a child I have the POTA play set, it was a cardboard model of Ape City on top and the subway from the second movie as a second level below. There were cardboard figures of Nova, Brent, Vera, Cornelius and other major characters. I spent a couple years playing with it until it was completely worn out. https://reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.com/2014/07/go-ape-week-planet-of-apes-amsco.html

2025-03-13 22:18:50 +0000 UTCThe Scream one was...interesting.
Chris Thom
2025-03-13 22:07:15 +0000 UTCUm...you are aware that Estella Warren starred beautifully in the seminal classics that are Kangaroo Jack and Pucked. I don't know if you thought this through.
Chris Thom
2025-03-13 21:55:16 +0000 UTCCassie - “How did the apes evolve from humans?” - I answered this in the comments twice already. They didn’t, the apes only think they evolved from humans. They don’t realize they were the primitive species when humans were dominant.
Richard Maurer
2025-03-13 20:07:07 +0000 UTCFour years, Cassie has only done 1 St. Patrick's day movie- The Quiet Man. We can dream, but if she ever does another one it will most likely end up being Darby O'Gill, or something American like The Devil's Own.
Bill W
2025-03-13 19:46:12 +0000 UTCHow to tell us your wife does not read this forum without telling us. :-)

2025-03-13 19:10:50 +0000 UTCEstella Warren? Who's that? I thought the actress in this movie was Amanda Seyfried! :-P
Happy Hanukkah

Thoko
2025-03-13 11:40:14 +0000 UTCI love the thumbnail. I don't remember Cassie ever doing such an artistic thumbnail before.
Thoko
2025-03-13 11:36:23 +0000 UTCAgreed. This was a series that needed careful cherry-picking, as opposed to "Watch them all because there's a line in some of the OGs that explains something in the reboots that doesn't need explaining." Hopefully, Cassie will be more wary in future.
Clarence Newman
2025-03-13 09:07:47 +0000 UTCShe’s gonna be completely lost when she watches the new ones if she skips this one! (hides again)
Philip Alan
2025-03-13 08:56:44 +0000 UTCThat movie is really bad but has an amazing score from Danny Elfman. I dunno if it's worth watching just for that though. It's not boring, so it's not a slog to get through, but it's just not very well written or executed. That was from that brief period where they were trying to make Estella Warren a thing 😂
Stranger2Reality
2025-03-13 08:54:13 +0000 UTCWho convinced Cassie to watch these OG sequels? Even many hard core sci fi film nerds haven't seen these. These are super, super niche films nowadays. The original is really well known, and the reboot movies are good and widely seen. But someone really led her astray by having her watch these. The YT views seem to reflect the disinterest.
Stranger2Reality
2025-03-13 08:49:13 +0000 UTCI'm afraid so. My wife uses different colours, so at bath time, she tends to look like various characters from A Bug's Life.
Clarence Newman
2025-03-13 08:45:45 +0000 UTCI didn't mind the Tim Burton one. I'm real glad Cassie isn't continuing the OGs after Escape (my bad - after Conquest), but I don't feel the same way about Marky Mark's Monkey Mob.
Clarence Newman
2025-03-13 08:42:45 +0000 UTCA mud mask? Is that really a thing?
Chris Thom
2025-03-13 08:38:57 +0000 UTCSome older patrons are probably throwing s-- in your direction right now...but they can't find you. lol
Chris Thom
2025-03-13 08:37:54 +0000 UTCI was on the "go ahead and skip" side of history. Haha
Phillip D Piris
2025-03-13 08:32:40 +0000 UTCThe head gorilla, Captain Ursus, is James Gregory.... aka Inspector Luger from Barney Miller. Odd to have a gorilla named "bear".

2025-03-13 05:11:10 +0000 UTCHappy: K7!! Now I want to watch Stick It (2006)
Bill W
2025-03-13 05:06:55 +0000 UTCBeneath the surface, not beneath the entire sphere.
Bill W
2025-03-13 05:00:51 +0000 UTCDon't forget to watch the Tim Burton Planet Of The Apes. You really should watch it. It's very important to watch, so you'll understand the new movies. (hides)
Philip Alan
2025-03-13 03:26:44 +0000 UTCYeah, humans (Homo sapiens -- the last surviving species of the genus Homo) are great apes characterized by their hairlessness, bipedalism, and high intelligence.
Clay F
2025-03-13 02:31:09 +0000 UTCIm not sure about the movie, but based on the thumbnail, we get Cassie in her dominatrix gear? Makes it a cant miss reaction.
Miguel
2025-03-13 00:53:14 +0000 UTCGreat thumbnail. Cassie is the best part of the movie.
Rick Williams
2025-03-13 00:26:31 +0000 UTCIt first appeared on Crocodile Dundee 2.

2025-03-12 23:23:04 +0000 UTCThe Shaun Of The Dead one is my favorite. 😁
Zane From Canada
2025-03-12 23:17:35 +0000 UTCThe real secret of this movie is that Humans are just another species of Great Ape. It has always been a planet of the Apes.
TheSingulatarian
2025-03-12 23:16:27 +0000 UTCShe's giving George from Cinebinge a run for his money.
TheSingulatarian
2025-03-12 23:12:59 +0000 UTCCongratulations to Carly. But, for the next Poppies I want full production of "Just Two Little Girls from Little Rock" from "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" with Carly and Cassie. Maybe "Just Two Little Girls from Canada".

2025-03-12 23:12:05 +0000 UTCThe Commitments is great!
Ted Whalen
2025-03-12 23:08:26 +0000 UTCCassie, it only goes down from here. LOL So skip everything until the new reboot. DO NOT watch the 2001 Mark Wahlberg horrible version. Please, please, please. Don't watch it. OK, I'm better now.
Brad Enervold

2025-03-12 21:49:29 +0000 UTCThis is a bit off topic but I just wanna ask you Cassie, Since St. Patrick's Day is less than a week away, are you planning on watching "Michael Collins" anytime soon? I think it's a great movie to watch around the holiday.
Timothy Fisher
2025-03-12 21:47:29 +0000 UTCAh! I can finally see the thumbnail. I was wondering what y'all were talking about.
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-12 21:46:23 +0000 UTCA month ago would be right in line with my lifetime sense of timing. It also explains why I've seen so many single men abruptly break into tears and regretful selftalk in virtually every state and country I've been in during the last 4 weeks. So wonderful for Carly (not the sobbing and regretful selftalk - the pending numptuals)!

Chris Thom
2025-03-12 21:13:27 +0000 UTCShe announced her engagement like a month ago...I think. We were joking about live streaming the wedding, but Cassie said there was most likely a one hundred percent chance that she wouldn't be into that. Also nixed the poll idea for whether or not she should get married at all. lol
Chris Thom
2025-03-12 21:12:25 +0000 UTCGreat thumbnail. I love the fact that Carly is comfortable enough with us to appear on a reaction wearing a mud mask.
Clarence Newman
2025-03-12 21:11:11 +0000 UTCNot sure if it was mentioned in one of the reactions or the podcast, but I couldn't help nearly being blinded by the sparkle on Carly's left ring finger multiple times. If it's true, sorry single lads in your 20s & 30s. Also, if true — CONGRATULATIONS!!! (and I'm sure we'll all get invited to the ceremony). 😁😁😁😁

2025-03-12 20:51:40 +0000 UTCSome of these thumbnail photoshops are just incredible. Lol
Chris Thom
2025-03-12 20:50:46 +0000 UTCLGB: Oh! I now feel very silly! I hadn't considered that since the apes are not as scientifically advanced as we are, they have not come up with the spherical planet theory, and their planet is therefore flat. Boy do I have omelet on my face! :-) (Can anyone point me in the direction of a sci-fi story I read way back, which has the conceit that "reality" is completely shaped by our perceptions/beliefs?)
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-12 20:46:26 +0000 UTCShe did get a taste of the Morlock themes with Gary Sinise' monologue in Ransom.
Chris Thom
2025-03-12 20:42:36 +0000 UTCAlas....no
Clarence Newman
2025-03-12 20:32:03 +0000 UTCMorlocks, Chris! Cassie does indeed need to watch The Time Machine (1960).
Clarence Newman
2025-03-12 20:27:46 +0000 UTCTo make it accurate, you would have to say "There is no movie beneath Beneath the Planet of the Apes." Except maybe Howard the Duck.
Clarence Newman
2025-03-12 20:26:33 +0000 UTCNever seen it. But guessing maybe it's Morlock Time?
Chris Thom
2025-03-12 20:23:30 +0000 UTCSince the planet is flat, I guess they mean beneath the… flat part?
LittleGalaxyBoy
2025-03-12 20:11:21 +0000 UTCHuh? This doesn't make any sense! How can there possibly be anything *beneath* a planet? What would that even mean?! Guess I'll have to watch the movie. :-|
Happy Hanukkah
2025-03-12 20:07:10 +0000 UTCThe nuclear cult at the end really reminded me of the Church of the Children of Atom from Fallout 3 (2008), a religious group that worships the power of the atom in a post-apocalyptic world. The town of Megaton was built around an undetonated nuclear bomb, which the church views as a sacred object, believing that every atomic detonation creates an infinite number of worlds. It also reminded me of the Children of the Cathedral from Fallout (1997), a religious organization in California that publicly presents itself as a charity but secretly serves as a front for The Master. Aiding in his plan to forcibly mutate humanity into Super Mutants, believing it to be the next stage of human evolution. But, for a movie like Beneath the Planet of the Apes, especially as a follow-up to the first one, the introduction of this cult feels out of left field. It’s a cool idea, but definitely an odd addition to the latter half of the film. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but if the Fallout games did take inspiration from this movie for their cults, then I’m glad it exists, lol.
LittleGalaxyBoy
2025-03-12 20:06:26 +0000 UTCTelle-tubies and poor horses. Casie you're a silly person. I do enjoy your channel a lot. You're going to have a lot of interesting stories to tell Carly. No spoilers, the rest of the series will be weird, but your many questions will be answered, well to some degree.
