2018/08/19

Jack and Geoff are joined by returning guest Andrew Saunders to talk The Mighty Peking Man! And to our hosts’ delight, this 1977 Hong Kong knockoff of King Kong ‘76 is much more than the sharply-ripened slice of cheese it appears to be.

Fishing for a good Apes podcast? Take the plunge, and sea what The ApeCast has to offer you as we dive into Tomorrow’s Tide! Returning guest Sam Stovold makes a splash as together we get to the bottom of what’s so fishy about the fisherman slave village our heroes find themselves in. Look out for a few red herrings though, as we veer to starboard to talk about Lawgiver tiki cups, Rocky, LOST, 1976 Kong, Koko the Gorilla (RIP) and so much more than all the fish in the sea.

2018/06/28

APE DAY in June falls on the twenty-ape-th, so that means it’s time for more KONG! This time our resident Kong-spert Erin joins us once again to delve into the dark, moody, allegedly campy world of 1976’s King Kong, the father of the modern gritty reboot. Is Jessica Lange high? Will Charles Grodin’s corrupt oil magnate validate Jeff Bridge’s pretentious paleo-primatologist’s cynical contempt? Well, does a Kong fight dinosaurs? (This time, sadly no…) Will we also talk about Rogue and Gambit,

After gushing over Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes last week, Geoff and Jack’s dreams come true, as the author of the book, Andrew E.C. Gaska, sits down to talk with them about it and answer some of their questions. He gives us an inside look at the process behind how the project came together, how he managed to get the fantastic collection of artwork seen in the book, and how it ended up getting him his current position as the overseer (the Lawgiver?) of Planet of the Apes continuity.
