The Incomparable, number 724, July 2024.

Welcome back, everybody to The Incomparable.

I am your host, Jason Snell, and we are in the midst of the summer of the Planet of the Apes,

where we walk through the 2010s film trilogy that was about the beginning of the planet of the apes where we walk through the 2010's film trilogy that was about the beginning

of the planet of the apes. Now, we already did rise of the planet of the apes from 2011,

and now we're on to, you got it, 2014, dawn of the planet of the apes. A dawn apparently

happens after a rise. I don't know about that, but whatever. It's words. Words mean things or they don't. Whatever. I'm joined by the members of our ape club because here we go. It's April call Brian Warren. Hello. Hey, good morning. It's still morning over here, Jason. Okay.

I would give you a pithy quote, but I'm just giving you, uh, ape sign language.

All right. That's not very good with podcasting. Save your dialogue for an exciting moment when you

actually can speak instead of use ape sign language. We'll wait for it. David J. Laura is also here.

Hi, David.

I'm hoping that we answer the question in a second Planet of the Apes film, will a madman blow everything up?

We'll see.

We'll see.

John Maltz, ape does not kill ape.

Hello. I guess ape can kill a few apes, just as a treat, I suppose.

Bonobo. Bonobo kill ape.

Hmm. Nice. Nice. That works. Bonobo is ape, though. But anyway, also, Annette Weiststra rounds out our ape club. Hello.

Hi, I'm here trapped in a bust by my fellow apes and let me out.

This time, the ape prison has ape jailers.

Uh-huh.

They're so, they're so like us. So where we left the planet of the ape's storyline was the end credits of the last movie
