Jack and Geoff are joined by new guest Cam Siemer for a look at Dark Horse’s first real foray into original Apes content, The Human War!

2021/05/21

Taking a detour from the planet Ashlar—but not the early 00’s—Jack and Geoff now turn to the medium of the videoed game! There were indeed POTA games released on the PC, PlayStation, and Game Boys both Advanced and Colored alike.

Planet of the Apes (2001) - the Adaptations

The ApeCast ·

2021/04/30

For some reason, 2001’s Planet of the Apes inspired three separate printed adaptations—a novelization, a junior novelization, and a comic—and Jack and Geoff are here to cover ‘em all! Will characters like Attar and Daena become fleshed-out characters within these adaptations? Will Thade and Limbo be the same species? Is there a soul inside Leo Davidson? Listen on, Ape Faithful!

The ApeCast ·

2021/04/16

Reunited in the ApeCast studios for the first time in a long time, Jack and Geoff finally tackle the sixth Apes movie—Tim Burton’s 2001 POTA! Returning guest Sean Davis joins the two for a spirited discussion about the delightfully snarly Thade, the mostly-great production design and makeup work, the mostly-bad everything else, and the protagonistic void that is Leo Davidson. Is there a soul in this movie? Get thee a towel and find out!

The ApeCast ·

2021/04/02

In this final episode before Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes, Jack & Geoff take a look at two fun-sized lesser-known comics from Dark Horse’s early-00s Apes run: a short tale featured in Dark Horse Extra, and the Toys “R” Us Collector’s comic! These stories—featuring Attar and Thade respectively—may not be substantial (or even essential), but there is fun to be had within their slim page counts. Also: human/ape hybrid talk, POTA gets its own version of Sybok, and a certain Dr. gets his own YouTube

The ApeCast ·

2021/03/19

Inching ever-closer to the Burton POTA remake, Jack and Geoff take a gander at Resistance, the second and final prequel novel—for the younger reader—written by John Whitman. With the plague behind them, Sarai and her daughter Danae find themselves enslaved and forced to build a grand new temple of Semos, under the villainous thumb of Colonel Thade and his cadre of murderous apes! Will Ari be able to help her human friends? Will Attar summon some ape-manity from the depths of his newly-pious soul

With the Quick books behind them, Jack and Geoff move a few thousand years into Ashlar’s future and encounter...Force! In this—the first of two short novels targeted towards the younger Apes fan—teen versions of beloved characters Ari and Attar find themselves contending with a mysterious plague and even more mysterious humans. Will Ari survive her Goosebumps-style encounter with ape mummies? Will Attar unwittingly deliver Colonel Thade’s plague blankets to the Tek-folk? Will this book also prove

The ApeCast ·

2021/02/19

Jack and Geoff are joined again by Sam Stovold for a look at William T. Quick’s second Tim Burton POTA prequel novel Colony! As gengineered super-chimp Semos sends his sons Thados and Zaius into unexplored territory, our human hosts marvel once again at Quick’s delightful prose, elegant thematic tie-ins to the Apes franchise as a whole, the resonant characterization of Thados, and dinos riding dinos!

And now...the Burtonverse, as Jack and Geoff begin their exploration of the various books and comics tying into Tim Burton’s 2001 POTA! First up: William T. Quick’s 2002 novel The Fall, which details the fates of the movie’s non-Wahlbergian spacefaring humans and their gengineered ape companions. Sam Stovold is along for the ride, and while the humans, apes and Brax may fall, our hosts’ estimation of this surprisingly engaging work only continues to rise!

Power Records - All-New TV Tales! (with Derek Buckley)

The ApeCast ·

2021/01/22

The final four Power Records vinyl tales are in Jack and Geoff’s sights, and once again guest Derek Buckley is along to share his thoughts and reminiscences! Although lacking comic book accompaniment, these stories do feature all-new adventures from everyone’s favorite TV trinity of Pete, Alan and Galen (aka PAG). And they run the gamut of what POTA is all about: self-destructive zealotry from both man and ape alike, still-relevant social commentary, and American landmarks that show up where you’d

2021/01/09

Jack and Geoff are joined by Derek Buckley for a look at the Power Records comic/vinyl versions of the original Apes’ movies! These kid-friendly adaptations excise and/or reimagine a lot of the classic Apes moments we know and love, but possess a charm all their own. Also, the three discuss distinctive mutants, blue space booze’s entry into the Star Wars universe, ragamuffins, and get into a little hockey talk!

2020/12/24

For this year’s bonus Chimpsmas Ape-isode, Jack and Geoff welcome back Erin Clarke, Sam Stovold and Kevin Young for a discussion of the little-remembered 1998 direct-to-VHS animated musical The Mighty Kong! Is this a forgotten gem in the King Kong oeuvre, or a bafflingly soulless, perfunctory attempt to re-frame the classic Kong narrative for the youth of the 90’s? Either way, it makes for a festive discussion! And also, to celebrate anime movie Demon Slayer’s crowning as the all-time King of the

2020/12/11

It’s a return to the POTA, as Jack and Geoff discuss Making Apes: The Artists Who Changed Film. This feel-good 2019 documentary explores the production of the original Apes movie, and the makeup artists whose seminal work still reverberates throughout the industry to this day. In their spirited discussion, the two also ponder Apes makeup that might have been, a certain Canadian Caper, the potential future of movie Apes, and something we’ve all wondered: did JK Simmons ever wear prosthetic

Ape Day Bonus #22 - Primal (with Erin Clarke)

The ApeCast ·

2020/11/30

Duped! That’s how Jack and Geoff felt after watching Primal, the 2019 Nicolas Cage movie that does NOT—despite what the Japanese poster would have you believe—feature a rampaging gorilla. There’s nary an ape in sight in this low-budget manhunt/animal panic/ocean suspense thriller, but it does have Cage (plus a familiar favorite for Lost-heads). And Erin Clarke is back for this bonus episode, to help us figure out whether the movie can overcome the sheer audacity of its poster’s grievous

The in-Zanity ends here, as Jack and Geoff bid farewell to time-traveler Derek Zane in Marvel’s Beast on the POTA! There’s also Robin Hood talk a-plenty, as the two discuss his happy-go-lucky ape incarnation, the sexy Disney fox that preceded him, and of course: Costner. They also ponder the origins of Chef Boyardee, delight in some ApeCast-level Doug Moench pun-work, and spend a surprising amount of time talking about Space Jam!
