"Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother? Keep his neighbor's children starving?" Charlton Heston finds out when he lands on Planet of the Apes, the 1968 classic that sparked sequels, a TV show, toys, Halloween costumes, and CGI reboots, but still stands above all of them. Mike and Dan talk about their favorite moments, watching it as a kid vs. seeing it now, and the way in which the famous surprise isn't as shocking as what Dr. Zaius has in mind when he puts Taylor--and, by extension, all humans--on trial. So press play, get your stinking paws of that phone, and give it a listen! It's a madhouse--a madhouse!
