329 - ESCAPE FROM... (1971) + CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972) ft. Cameron Fetter
Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Cameron Fetter (of Podcast About List) continue our discussion of one of the most enduring science-fiction concepts and depressing pop studio franchises of all time THE PLANET OF THE APES with a double feature of arguably the two best sequels. Don Taylor's ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (1971) which takes the franchise in a fun fish-out-of-water time travel adventure movie direction until its suddenly an incredibly upsetting 70s political thriller + J. Lee Thompson's more action-heavy entry CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972) which begins as a retro Orwellian sci-fi dystopia and eventually turns into a fiery armed ape prison uprising.
