Ep997: KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (2024) - LIVE Round Table Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics have seen the future, and are ready to share their findings on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes!
In Wes Ball's first entry in the rebooted franchise, Apes have seized control of America, while humanity's remnants devolve further into mute scavengers. When a peaceful chimpanzee tribe is overrun by barbaric gorillas, it falls to Noa (Owen Teague) to search out his captive friends and family--while unlocking the mystery of a strange human woman who has tagged along.
Does this fourth entry in the modern Apes saga feel like a necessary continuation of the pre-Disney-owned Fox series--or is another inevitable Mouse House dilution of a once-venerable film series?
Join us for a damn dirty dialogue about the summer's first real blockbuster--and your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
