In this bonus edition of The Pod Charles Cinecast, your hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get into some monkey madness, as they talk about two big blockbusters involving lots and lots of apes!

First up, Jonathan unveils his beef with the latest GODZILLA x KONG movie. Then, we get into a film series near and dear to Fil's heart, as we chat KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. We dive into the highs and the lows of the film, the greater franchise as a whole, and what we could see from future instalments.

Of course, as with most of these episodes about new films, we start complaining about the state of Hollywood and how we are stuck in sequel, reboot, prequel, legacy sequel hell. But, what are you gonna do? Hollywood gives you big ape movies. You go see them!

"Are you familiar with the concept of evolution? In their time, humans were capable of many great things. They could fly, like eagles fly. They could speak across oceans. But now, it is our time... and it is my kingdom. We will learn. Apes will learn. I will learn. And I... will conquer."
