#57: Talking Apes Adventures!

In this episode, the new Talking Apes Facebook admin. Patrick Izzo joins us as we break down the 6th and final installment of Marvel’s ‘Planet of the Apes’ adaptation. Discussions include what Dr. Zaius meant when he told Taylor, “Be careful what you look for, you may not like what you find.” Also, has Nova seen the half-buried Statue of Liberty before she and Taylor stumbled upon it? 

 

We also discuss Marvel’s new Apes comic prequel series, ‘Beware of the Planet of the Apes’. Did you know there is an Apes ride attraction? It’s not in Anaheim or Orlando, but in Malaysia! ‘Invasion Of The Planet Of The Apes’ is an immersive trackless dark ride that opened in 2022. You can even watch this ride-through video!

 

Then we discuss the latest trailer of ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’. The film’s release date was just moved from May 24th to May 10th which means we’ll be entering the kingdom 2 weeks earlier!

Happy Holidays to all the cheerful chimps, festive gorillas, jolly orangutans, and you damn dirty humanoids. We are so excited about this all-new power-packed episode. First, we have a treat for you! Do you ever forget what the exact Planet of the Apes TV episodes were about and where they fall in order? 

 

We came up with an ape-themed rendition of “The 12 days of Christmas” but summarizing the series episodes. But wait, aren't there 14 episodes? You are so right so we made an extended version. (Caution: Richard and Kevin are not singers so listen with caution.) To make it all the much better, we asked Dr. Zaius to step in. Let us know if this rendition helps you remember. 

 

Also on this Holiday Special, we continue our colorful commentary of Marvel’s ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES adaptation series (1975-1976). Here, we will break down the fifth of six issues, titled - INTO THE FORBIDDEN ZONE!
Thank you to those who sent in holiday greetings! Now get ready for 2024, the year we go APe-ril!

Welcome to our 9th Anniversary Episode! We are back after a Summer break. 

 

In this episode we will continue our colorful commentary of Marvel’s ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES adaptation series (1975-1976). We will break down the third of six issues, titled, MANHUNT! Written by Doug Moench with artwork by George Tuska, M. Esposito, T. Morellaro, and George Roussos. This issue was released on December 1, 1975

 

We go over the issue as well as review the cover art with YOUR help. We read many comments where you told us your opinion of the cover art by Ron Wilson. The general consensus is that Taylor looks like Steve Reeves’ Hercules. And what is up with that ape pushing Taylor out of the way from being caught in the net? So much to discuss! 

 

And we continue our countdown to APE-ril, 2024. So many exciting episodes coming your way! 

 

Now, Go Ape!!!!

Talking Apes is back to explore a medium we haven't covered yet - Comics! 

 

Planet of the Apes comics date back to 1974 with a 29-issue series published by Curtis Comics. Marvel’s ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES series (1975-1976) adapted the original film and Beneath. In this episode we will break down the first of six issues of the Apes adaptation with our colorful commentary. We discuss the differences between the film and comic and the very psychedelic artwork. And why do the gorilla soldiers wear yellow tunics? We also read your comments on this issue’s cover art.  

 

If you haven’t read these comics they were just released in Planet of the Apes Adventures: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus. This new collection features all 11 color issues reprinted for the first time ever!

We’re back! After another looooong hiatus, Talking Apes returns with a super episode! Richard Woloski and Kevin Toft look ahead to what’s coming up in Apes fandom. In April we get the new Marvel comic series, the first since 1975. Then in 2024 we can look forward to the next film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! We go over the recent casting news and speculate on what writers, Rick Jaffa and Amanada Silver, said in recent interviews. 

 

Also, we finish up the series where we break down the unproduced Planet of the Apes TV series scripts and synopses. There were eight unproduced stories, four of which are in script form where in past episodes we did readings with a full cast. Now, we review the last four story synopses. These include “The Trek”, “Freedom Road”, “The Mine”, and “The Trial”. What is your opinion of these stories? And which Ape TV-Verse do you prefer: these unproduced stories or the plots the CBS shows gave us? 

 

You can find the synopses here.

 

The scripts can be found here.

Happy Holidays to all of you apes, gorillas, orangutans, chimps, and you damn dirty humanoids! After a very long hiatus (apologies once again), we are back with a HOLIDAY SPECIAL. In this episode we finish our series on the Planet of the Apes unproduced TV script breakdowns with “Hostage.” But this time we bring in a full cast! We had a blast going through this script and even left in a lot of bloopers, gaffes, and screw-ups. 

 

“Hostage” was written by Stephen Kandel, who has written scripts for Star Trek, The Bionic Man, Bionic Woman, Dukes of Hazzard, Charlie’s Angels, Wonder Woman, Batman, CHIPS, Love Boat, Dynasty, Hart to Hart, and The New Mike Hammer.  “Hostage” is dated April 5th, 1974. 

 

Story Synopsis

 

Galen, Virdron, and Kovack stumble upon the meeting place for the UFF - United Freedom Force - which is an outlawed civil rights group composed of humans and apes who wish to overthrow the Simian government and replace it with a more tolerant system. 

 

Full Cast Credits

 

Richard and Kevin would like to thank Sarah Woloski, Mark Oguschewitz (UnderexposedCinematicTreasures.com), David Braun, Anthony Pomes, Patrick Izzo, and Bryn MacKinnon for their participation and hard work. And a big thank you to those who sent in holiday greetings including Bobby Porter and Paul Williams. 

 

Now go ape, and have a happy and Urkotastic holiday season!

About Talking Apes Podcast

 

Richard Woloski and Mark Oguschewitz take a look at the unsung PLANET OF THE APES TV series from 1974. The first several episodes of TALKING APES TV will delve into one episode of the PLANET OF THE APES TV Series, with plenty of quotes, audio and social commentary pulled from each show.

 

Then TALKING APES TV turned into TALKING APES, and Richard Woloski is joined by new cohost Kevin Toft on a journey through interviews and more ... Talking Apes!

 

Hello to all you Chimps, gorillas, orangutans, Underdwellers, and you Mego Collectors! The ape fan community went crazy with the recent news that Mego will start releasing new Planet of the Apes figures starting in April with Dr. Zaius and Cornelious. 

 

We spoke with Paul ‘Mr. Mego’ Clarke of EMCE Toys who gives us insight as to what is coming up with the new Mego Planet of the Apes line (even some hints toward future releases). We talk about Paul’s career in the toy industry, our favorite figures growing up, and the psychological effect of collecting Mego. You will hear Richard have an actual breakthrough! They don’t call Paul Dr. Mego for nothing! 

 

Richard and Kevin also fantasize about the Ape figures, and other pop culture icons, they would love to see in their collection in the future. They also run down the list of the figures that are coming out in wave 12 such as The Rocketeer, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Stan Lee Web Hand Edition, Igor from Young Frankenstein Igor, the Star Trek Salt Vampire, and more!

 

Make Mine Mego.. and Go Ape!
