The ApeCast ·

2019/11/02

For this chilling Apetober Gorillaween episode, Jack and Geoff welcome Erin Clarke back for a look at Dario Argento’s zanily grisly 1985 thriller Phenomena. And this movie has it all: a sheet metal-wielding killer, a girl who talks to insects, and a vengeful chimp nurse! Our hosts have a great time unpacking this insanity, while still finding time for digressions about Hamburger Helper, CGI Brando, and more! **NOTE** During recording, workmen were installing scaffolding on a building just outside

APE DAY BONUS #15 - Harry & the Hendersons

The ApeCast ·

2019/09/30

For this month’s bonus Ape-isode, Jack & Geoff venture into crypto-apelogical territory with a look at Harry & The Hendersons! And while the movie doesn’t leave the strongest impression, your intrepid Ape hosts still find much to discuss. They get into the distinctively superlative work of Rick Baker, the most irritating child actor this side of a Disney Channel sitcom, 1993’s mini Stalloneissance, and some classic Bigfoot memories. You won’t be shooing this episode away into the woods anytime

The ApeCast ·

2019/09/21

Jack and Geoff are joined by noted Apes author Andrew EC Gaska for a dip into a River of Flames! In their discussion of this animated Apes TV episode, the three ponder the mystery of Urko’s orange uniform, the great WEAPONS/SCIENCE debate, and the greatness that inevitably ensues when you combine apes and lava. They also get into Star Trek’s penchant for recycling, and theatrically-released 007-parodying Flintstones movies that nobody has ever heard of. Grab your laser cutter and dive in!

Other topics up for discussion include John McTiernan movies, crack Gorilla ski-troopers, mystical cable cars, oddly placed facial hair, weather balloons, how far you can take time-killing scenes in a cartoon, and what a big lame-o Jeff is.

The ApeCast ·

2019/08/29

For this month’s special ape-isode, Jack and Geoff revisit the 1999 Spike Jonze joint Being John Malkovich. And despite the near dearth of apes in the movie—there is a chimp, so it does technically count—our hosts find a lot to talk about. They discuss the film’s delightful performances and unlikable characters, touch upon the banner year in film that was 1999, and make a few of the usual detours into things like Star Wars and Taco Bell. This podcast is basically a tunnel into the minds of both
