Beware the Planet of the Apes Comic
In this 73rd episode we break down the first issue of the most recent apes comic series, Beware the Planet of the Apes. This 2024 Marvel Comics series tells a prequel story in a 4 issue miniseries set just before the events of the 1968 film. Nova takes center stage in a tale that disregards all previous tie-in material that served as prequels to the first movie such as Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes and Death of the Planet of the Apes along with the entirety of the era. This is a new adventure set in the classic continuity of the original PLANET OF THE APES films! In a hostile world run by aggressive gorillas; scientists Cornelius and Zira are the only apes alive who see value in the mute human race - but even they know human capabilities have severe limits. So when Zira’s nephew Lucius goes missing, it is with great trepidation that they turn to a human ally - a young woman who will someday earn the name "Nova"! But the search for Lucius brings them all deeper into the Forbidden Zone - which is forbidden for a reason. What never-before-seen dangers await them in the ruins? The citizens of Ape City believed they were alone on this planet, but a world of violence lies beyond their borders!

2024 Year-End Wrap-Up
Talking Apes wraps up 2024 in a big fun way! Kevin (Proximus Caesar) Durand and Bobby (Cornelius) Porter leave video messages. We tally up the final box office results of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as well as go over the recent sequel news. We had to talk about South Carolina’s inadvertent live production of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. How many of us cheered when primates escaped from a research facility and were “just being goofy monkeys jumping back and forth playing with each other” (actual quote from CBS News). Like us, did you hope the 43 escaped monkeys were going to take over humanity? We read more of your comments on the Planet of the Apes TV series and Talking Apes anniversaries. And there is still more to go. How many saw Rick Baker’s classic Apes display set up in his yard for Trick or Treaters on Halloween night? Unfortunately we did not see it live but gathered lots of video and pics as well as the gruesome footage of Rick demolishing the sets the day after. (Be forewarned it is really hard to watch.) Since we are so proud of our efforts from last year, we’ll replay our melodically and on key ‘14 episodes of Planet of the Apes’ to the tune of ‘12 Days of Christmas’! You’re welcome!

Join lead cast members Freya Allen, Kevin Durand, Owen Teague, and Peter Macon alongside visualization supervisor Casey Pyke, Wētā FX visual effects supervisor Erik Winquist and one of the film’s editors, Dan Zimmerman, as they unveil the VFX magic behind the majestic beasts and battles in bringing director Wes Ball’s vision to life. This is the full audio recording. For those listeners with sensitive ears, a fight between a fan and the CC security broke out at about the halfway point, and there were a few curse words. The panel host quickly got things back on track and we were on our way. I got the chance to represent Talking Apes with a question during the Q&A. They asked to keep the questions short but that wasn’t going to happen since I wanted my question about easter eggs to be answered by all the panelists. I’ve been to the mountain and came back with even more content. I posted the ‘Enter the Forbidden Zone’ exhibit on @skywalkingpod IG account, and there’s another video coming your way from that exhibit.
