PLANET OF THE APES (1968) – Journey with us back to a science fiction film that launched a franchise still relevant today. What makes this movie so iconic, powerful, resonant? PLANET OF THE APES may seem primitive by modern standards, but in its time it was a paradigm for science fiction films to follow. Through concept, story, makeup, music, and collaborative genius this movie kicked down the door, inspiring generations of future science fiction creators to come. Join us as we discuss the key elements that made this film successful and, perhaps… a few that didn’t. Join us for some good banter on arguably the King Kong of science fiction cinema.
Random Note: Contrary to commentator remarks… David, nor Tim, love to “take it.” We do look forward to your opinions though.
