Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Cameron Fetter (of Podcast About List) continue our discussion of one of the most enduring science-fiction concepts and depressing pop studio franchises of all time THE PLANET OF THE APES with a double feature of arguably the two best sequels. Don Taylor's ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (1971) which takes the franchise in a fun fish-out-of-water time travel adventure movie direction until its suddenly an incredibly upsetting 70s political thriller + J. Lee Thompson's more action-heavy entry CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972) which begins as a retro Orwellian sci-fi dystopia and eventually turns into a fiery armed ape prison uprising.
