Hello, Manger Jopin.
Chris Cabin.
Steven Sadey.
And we hate apes.
Hello, the one. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning into the program.
If it's your first time sitting down with We Hate Movies, you're catching us in the back half of our fourth annual summer blockbuster extravaganza.
If you're talking about it on social media, please be sure to use hashtag SBE 2014 Today's.
I guess we were all saying we forgot how bad this movie was.
The forgetfully bad 2001 sci-fi remake, Tim Burton.
Martin's Planet of the Apes.
Yeah, this is the one where I was like, oh, Tim Burton can make bad movies.
Like, really fucking bad.
Yeah, it's not a good movie.
Because Mars attacks I don't like, and I didn't even like when I was a kid, but I knew it wasn't for me.
Like, I was like, this is doing something.
It's not for me.
It could totally be good and all that stuff.
But the, this one was just like, oh, no, this is doing nothing.
This is frightfully bad.
And it's also like, much like that secret Tim Burton movie we talked about at the beginning of the summer blockbuster extravaganza.
This movie, actually, no, that movie feels more like a Tim Burton movie than this movie does.
There's no trace of Tim Burton in this movie.
Because he has no things, like he likes the design interiors.
And there's not many interiors in this film.
Yeah, but I mean, even still with the costumes or something, there's nothing about this that says to me, like Tim Burton made this.
movie other than the awesome Danny
Elfman music which is probably I think the
best part of the movie I turn this on
yesterday and I'm sitting down
and the fucking score comes on I'm like
oh shit we were
maybe we were wrong I thought
the same thing maybe I'm coming back to this
and I'm going to like this fucking movie and then of course
10 minutes in I'm reminded no
well then you start watching the opening
credits where it's ape mythology
and apes in fucking
tunics and you're like you know what
maybe I'm right
and the music's just all right.
It's the same thing with Catwoman.
It's like I don't need the ape chronology here.
I don't need like the dawn of apes up until where we are now in ape history.
I don't want it.
I don't need it.
I'm not asking for it.
It's not gorillas in the mist.
I don't need to know everything about ape culture or monkey culture or chimp culture or orangutan culture.
How amazing would it be if like on some of these like stone etchings it's like an etching?
of Sigourney Weaver and Gorillas in the Miss
just like teaching that ape how to talk.
It's an etching of Matt LaBlanc playing baseball with that monkey.
Ed.
Bruce Campbell, like, getting mauled by that gray ape in Congo.
Or whoever the fuck's in Mighty Joe Young.
In Mighty Joe Young.
The remake.
I think it's a Shillis Theron.
I think she's the one helping him out.
Oh, she's farting around in that movie?
Yeah, I think she's helping him out.
Kyle Chandler and Peter Jackson's King.
Kong or awkwardly Jack Black in Peter Jackson's King Kong.
It's just Jack Black at a movie house somewhere.
It's like, oh, wow, how does that fit?
So if you've seen the first planet of the Apes movie, it's kind of just that, but we have to, like, put some sort of millennial spin on it.
Like, there's still a twist ending, but it's not the twist ending you were expecting, which is obnoxious.
Well, the twist of the original is, like, it's one of those ones you can see coming a mile away.
If you're, I mean, obviously hindsight's 20.
Oh, I mean, dude, I guarantee you in 68 audiences were blindsided by that.
But it's still, it's set up.
It makes sense.
But it has an emotional impact of, like, oh, fuck.
Because honestly, it's written by Rod Serling, and the rule of twilight zones are,
they're dead their whole time, they're on earth all along, or maybe it's a dead grandmother.
Like, I don't know.
Or a third one.
I would like to add another.
one to that which is oh whoops it's a robot that's the other i've been going through some twilight
zone it's like accidental robot like there's that great one where uh uh oh what's his name now it's
jack warden is uh oh oh the robot the way where he's where he's no no not where he's the astronaut
there's one it's i was just watching it's in the first season jack warden plays a uh uh a manager
of a shitty baseball team and this guy comes in he's like hey i have this new pitcher for you
His name's Casey, and he's young.
And it turns out that Casey's a robot.
Like, the dude starts throwing, like, aces.
And Jack Warren's like, wow, look at that.
He's got quite the arm on him.
And the guy's like, Secret Robot.
It's fucking awesome.
I'm just going to tell you one thing, Jack Gordon.
If it's raining out, we're calling the game.
He is not in the starting lineup.
There, we'll go off for some bruise later.
Define bruise.
I'll just have.
dried milk
it's actually
it was
that episode
of the Twilight Zone
I don't remember
what it's called
it's like
it's Casey's in the title
in some way
it's because it's a
reference to
the Casey of the bat story
but
I looked up the actor
playing the robot
and it was like
some dude
that went crazy
and killed
his whole family
you
yeah I was like
ooh
a non-success
story
so he was a robot
yeah
he believed he was a robot
too
that's probably what happened
but in the
The twist in this Burton movie makes no sense.
I mean, we'll get there to what it is.
So, Mark Wahlberg.
I was going to say, speaking of unstable leads, Mark Wahlberg.
I was going to say, speaking of robots.
Speaking of trouble on the set, Mark Wahlberg's in this movie.
It's just, they, the funny thing is, like, how conversely, if you had to, like, do the power of how much of the movie of the original Planet of the Apes is based on Heston's own performance and on his back versus how little, how much they keep.
Mark Wahlberg away from this movie.
They're like, I can just imagine what Mark Wahlberg?
Like, hey, what are you shooting over there?
Oh, no, no, nothing.
You're fine, Mark.
Just go back to your, go back to your thing and play PlayStation 1.
Hey, you guys aren't filming subplots, are you?
I gotta be in all the plots.
You got subplots?
Oh, God.
Is there an ape Boston?
Where's the ape, Boston?
Where the ape red socks?
You know, Mark, the Pogs are playing like two towns over.
Why don't you just take the day?
Just take the day.
I'm going to, you know, do some, me and me and Giamati are going to work on some stuff.
I'm going to take the fucking day off.
I thought you might enjoy it.
They just keep buying baseball tickets.
Because he's like not the center piece of this movie, which is not a bad thing, but just hire a better actor.
Or just get rid of, like, if you want to really fucking toss one in there, just get rid of the human element.
Yeah, and just make it fucking apes doing ape shit.
Well, how dare you kill off Chris Christopherson in the first like 15 minutes of this movie?
That was a real bummer for me, because I saw him in the credits.
I was like, why don't I remember Chris Christopherson in this week?
Because he gets fucking murdered for no reason.
It's a real, like, prison shank, too.
Yeah.
No, I'm not in the movie anymore.
Come on, you're sick and shit.
You big fucking monkey.
Come on.
Oh, man.
The way he speaks to Blade.
Oh, just do it, your chicken shit.
Come on, you fucking kill me, your chicken shit.
Take off your fucking dress and do it already.
Christ Almighty.
That is one of my favorite deaths
To be undone in the second movie
But that's fine
It's like
Oh I forgot I can live forever
And it's like
Whatever let's just get on with the rest of the movie
Instead of just killing me
Kiss me on the neck
Leave it son of a bitch blade
Don't worry my daughter
Jessica Beals on deck for the third
And
She likes putting on an iPod playlist
Before she goes out
And starts killing all sorts of vampires
Particularly fond of crystal method.
Man, that just might be a stay tuned for this year's spooktacular.
So we're in the so far off, so crazy year of 2029.
We're all going to be 45.
What is that?
Like, pretty ambitious society as a whole.
Seeing as we're going to have a space station.
It looks like one third of Deep Space Nine is like the design of the space.
It looks unfinished.
Like it's round on one side and then just flat.
And I was like, is they finished that model or what?
It looks like garbage.
Maybe they just ejected Quark's bar and there was a big hole.
Oh, shit.
Time for a going out of business sale.
No.
This is space.
start pinching my nipples now
man they should
they should airlock that
big eared fuck
oh yeah
so he's a scientist
he's a scientist
astronaut whatever and like
the beginning we kind of
were watching this chimp do a space
simulation thing which reminded me that really
sad movie Project X
oh Jesus never a dry eye
in the house with Project X
that's the anti-hangover movie
Like, because you think it's just a fun, jangly, we're hanging out with apes, teaching them things, but then we're just irradiating them.
Oh, yeah.
I can't do any movie where it's like, man befriends ape, ape trusts man, man, man then goes on to kill or give away ape, can't do it.
Getting hammered on grief this time.
What I didn't understand was like, you know, at the start of the, you know, like our Earth's space space.
program. Like, yeah, we were launching some monkeys up there, you know, just to like see what
would have. Shucking them up there. Shucking monkeys up into the space, you know, like out into
the atmosphere, see what happened to those monkeys, right? But if in this world of 2029, we've built
a third of a deep space nine space station, why are we still experimenting with monkeys?
And why, why not just autopilot, baby? Like, this whole movie is fixed by autopilot, which had to
exist if you have a fucking space station if over a hundred people are living comfortably in the
middle of the universe yeah i'm sorry you can you this is all handled this is all okay you don't have to
do too much you have to press a couple buttons it doesn't make any sense and also what doesn't make
any sense is they're like like you don't really know what they're doing up there you get a brief
mention of all of these apes are genetically spliced to be smarter sure um but you don't know like
what they're trying to really study.
And then it's like this big purple cloud comes along.
And Mark Wahlberg's like, hey, guys, look at that space storm.
And then that other dude's just like, all right, get the ape ready.
We're going to send him out into that.
And I'm like, for what?
For the purposes of what?
You're spending all this money on this fucking ape.
You might as well just put your magic finger little, you know, your little escape pod there.
They all look like little fucking sex toys.
Yeah, they look like vibrating eggs you put in your ass.
particularly in your ass.
Any hole, I suppose.
Any hole will do.
And they're just like fucking, you know, joystick that shit, baby.
Don't fucking kill this ape for no reason.
I don't understand why we're still using apes.
None of this answers the question.
There should not be any animal on board in a 2029 space station unless it's a pet for somebody.
Data having spot is an acceptable animal to be in space.
here's something and I'm not sure
maybe you know somebody could write in and tell me
I'm an idiot I'm sure they will
they have in the past
we all hate movies at gmail.com
yeah that will do
an electromagnetic storm
in the middle of space
and it looks like a big old
thunderstorm
I don't know how that happens exactly
I don't think that's plausible
well Chris says I'm always reminding you
I'm not a scientist
I'm where
yeah I don't know
it's just a lot of like
space gobbledygook.
It happens. There's a storm.
There's always storms in space, Chris.
It's a storm that, you know,
makes the Fantastic Four happen. That's
just a space storm. Or it's Galactus
in that fucking terrible sequel.
What a fucking fart knocker
of a movie. That second one is.
It existed and you just
remind you. It's going to happen.
So that shit in the theater.
My favorite write your own joke line
ever is Mark Waldberg's
why you send that monkey into space? If you
want something to do some thinking, you send me up there.
And everyone's like, uh,
uh,
Hey, look, a Celtics game is on.
Oh, sick, bro.
I didn't know, we got cable up here.
That's fucking sick.
We're doing all these experiments.
I could be watching the Celtics.
Fuck it.
And they send this fucking poor chip into death.
They send this chip to death.
I'm like, hey, monkey, go to that space strip.
And, you know, and here's
what's a big piece of cruel
shit from this movie. We found
out 20 seconds prior to him getting
loaded into this vibrating egg that
this chimp's about to become a father.
Like, it works
the same as like any other, like,
stereotypical, like, astronaut's story
because, like, he brings the chimp over
after, there's like, because there's, of course,
a training simulation.
Yeah. And the chimp crashes, and Mark Wahlberg
walks out in front of a really bad
green screen for a fucking hundred million
movie this is a bad green screen he's like
you failed again chimp what are you going to do
you keep crashing and so
he brings him out and then the
scientist that he's working with
she's like oh hey did you
tell him hey pericles
you're going to be a father and like
this other chimp's like yeah you knocked me up
pericles so like
here goes soon to be father
pericles launched into this fucking storm
and I was like no he's going to be a father
Pericles sits down
talking about the pool that they're going to
put in the big
well you know we're going to have this whole
space station racket after just one more
mission baby one last mission honey I swear
I'll be back it's super safe I just have to investigate this
electromagnetic storm
so this chimp gets lost and then
like Mark Wahlberg's like guys
the chimp's gone missing what are you going to do
about it Mark the drop kicks
are playing oh shit you're sick bro
and instead of like I mean like of course
like why on earth okay the
point of, if there is a point
for the chimpanzee
to go in there, not a human being
is that, if that fucking
chimp dies, you're like, oh, okay,
that's a bad idea.
Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, that's... If that pod
blows up, you're like, oh, shit, that storm
blows up our pods.
Like, better not send Mark Wahlberg
into it, or any of the other worthwhile
anonymous scientists we have on the
space station. Hold in all our eggs
for now. So the
general's like, no, you're not going out there. This
chimp's fucking dead meat and uh mark walberg is not having i made a promise to his wife
chip bro i'm a man of my word fuck i agree to be his best man i don't know what you're talking about
godfather of that chip's baby pat's game a no i gotta get out there and save that fucking chimp
so he steals this thing in the most ridiculous he might as well be like hey guys i'm stealing
this escape pod because like he just blasts out of this thing and there's this ridiculous static
of like the loading bay or whatever it is and you see this pod like backing out and it's like
are you sure no one wants to stop me i'm fucking backing out right now and you see these scientists
like in the background writing on charts just like all right everything seems under control here
and only when it blasts off does their computer system go like pod ejected and the general's
like wait what the fuck how did this slip past us oh uh general uh because we were getting so many
complaints. We put a two-minute delay
on every pod ejection.
You'll get the warning. There's just a bit of a
cue, so... Ah, here it comes.
It's got to come from right there.
We should rethink this policy.
Let's have a meeting after we rescue
Mark Wahlberg. It's either two
minutes or immediately, and
we decided the two-minute window.
Okay, it's okay this time,
but the next time we'd like shove a
chimp into space. I mean, listen
general, you know, we're in space
and everything's just kind of
high pressure enough. We figured like
give someone a break on these
warnings, huh? Just a couple of minutes.
Just relax. I mean, that's what the
nap room is for, guys. I mean, just
so he
gets blasted onto the planet of the apes.
Like, that's the one thing I'll give this movie
is you get to the planet
of the apes pretty quickly.
You're doing the first one too, but I feel like
this movie could have spent a lot more time
shitting around with this scientific
expedition. Yeah, because you don't, you know
what's, especially like the first one, you don't
know, you know, if it's
1968, you're in the theater, you're like,
Planet of the Apes, what's that about?
You know, and you go, you sit down.
But in 2001, you have an idea that he's going to be in a planet
inhabited by apes.
So, let's get to the fucking apes.
Yeah, it's very smart on that.
I don't think this $100 million budget was
necessarily just for Mark Wahlberg, so let's, you know,
hurry it up.
No, guys, don't you want me to have an existential crisis?
Don't you want me to be worried about where I am
what's going on mark you know this egg gets the socks game right oh shit bro sick yeah we got all
the classics on there we bought one of those uh you know one of those uh all the best plays uh DVDs for
you're all set bro are there any videos of bloopers on there i love a good sports bloomer it's over
the credits oh sick bro like a bert reynolds movie bro i love those too you got any burt reynolds movies
on there what got a whole bunch of videos for you buddy got a whole bunch of videos let me get in this pod bro
It's just Cannonball 3 on repeat, actually, but yeah, it's pretty good.
Oh, sick, bro.
Any chance you could break me off of peanut butter and jelly sandwich in this deal?
Bro, I need a PB&J.
It keeps me up, keeps me going.
Keeps that adrenaline up.
It's the protein in the P.B.
You can actually make it more peanut butter and no jelly.
The jelly is sugar.
It just weighs you down.
So you ever just have a peanut butter sandwich?
It's fucked up.
The J smooths you over a little bit, you know?
The pee's a little bitter.
It's like when you do shrooms, bro,
and then you're coming down,
you got a smoke a jada,
smooth it right out.
That's what the jelly does.
It smooths out your peanut bread on.
All right, Mark.
Am I getting the sandwich?
We're trying to make this movie,
and we're desperately,
as the joke dictates,
trying to get you out of this movie.
So please stop talking about a peanut bread
and jelly sandwich.
So, like, he gets to wander through the jungle
for like two seconds,
and then he comes face to face
with Chris Christophers.
It's like, you fucking pussy, run.
Oh, no, it's a planet of the Christopherson's.
Oh, my God.
Who was a planet of Chris Christopherson?
Terrifying.
Oh, my God.
And you wouldn't know who was actually a pussy
because everyone's calling everybody else a pussy.
Get your damn hands off me, you son of a bitch.
Now I'm going to sing some gentle folk music.
But you're all fucking pussies.
They all sing in unison and a beautiful voice.
Wow, that was heavenly.
Shut up, you pussy.
So they're all running from an ape invasion, and it's kind of the same thing.
It's like the tribe of people are, you know, they live on the outskirts, but the apes are rounding them up and taking them prisoner.
There's kind of a big chase scene who cares.
Not nearly enough nets, though.
No, there's one net.
It's just a net that holds Chris Christopherson, which let me tell you, what a mighty net it must have been.
Laced with Adamantium.
It's the only way to keep it.
barbed wire.
You got lucky, you
pussies.
And they're
taken back and we get a scene
of Paul Giamati
as like the
chimpanzee or he's the
orangutan like human
traitor. It's kind of just his character
from 12 years of slave which is weird
because he's just like, clean him up,
get him on the sales floor.
I was watching it and I was like, why does this
sound? Oh wait a second. This is exactly
what he does in 12 years of
slave. You close your eyes and you just
see Chaito L. Edgiphorn. You're like,
oh no. It's the
it's really weird. It's I mean
the slavery stuff in this movie
is awful. It's
undeveloped, unthought of
and it's just like, it's a bad parallel.
Like it's, they don't have
the first movie has a lot of ideas
about like, you know, what is religion
and what is fucking, what is a man? Anyway, this was
like, I don't know, slavery.
It's slavery. It's religion.
It's got a staunch
anti-gun thing that it doesn't really follow through on.
It doesn't follow through on any of it.
No, but it's interesting because, I mean, as we'll get to it later,
fucking Charlton Heston is in a movie that has an anti-gun message,
which it's like, you fucking idiot.
I guarantee it in the contract, it was like,
I have to hold the gun.
Yeah.
I got to kiss that gun one last time before my character dies.
You can say whatever you like, about the firearms,
but I'm holding the one fucking gun in the movie.
If there is a gun in this movie,
I'm holding it from my cold ape hand.
But before we get to that,
so Paul Giamati's like selling off all these apes,
or these people,
there's a thunderstorm outside.
This is a spooky episode.
Curl up with a good book.
So Paul Giamati's selling all these people off.
We are introduced to Tim Roth,
who's like a general kind of character.
He's like the...
Thade, is it?
He's like the big guy.
bad and then of course helena bottom
Carter who is like
the ape who is sympathetic to humanity
she wants to fuck humanity let's
let's just throw that out there she wants to see what that
go that Bostonian ding-dong
looks like I'll tell you that much
it's just weird
all right everybody
and there's a scene at the end where they
kiss and they
holy thunder
Batman it's a Dracula movie
outside
at the end of the movie they kiss
and it was sense
out of the Indian version of this movie.
And you know what?
I agree.
You know, I'm really, I'm not...
Good for you, India.
Yeah, I'm not always a fan of your censorship.
But this time around, you hit the nail right in the head.
But what's amazing is, even if you don't censor it, though,
like, it's not two minutes later.
He's got to turn around and kiss the human girl because, like,
oh, bro, I got to get that ape off my lips.
It's disgusting.
I mean, I got to get going because it has a pain concept.
bro you know he also sings like blues songs just get the fuck in the pot and get out of the movie no but i mean he's got a good voice
you know it's really heavenly it's good songwriting skills i mean he's it's really smart i mean jump
around's my anthem and shit i play it when i'm lifting weights but you know sometimes you need to
cool down you need to cool down during the day and you know what that's where everlast comes in man
you know everlast it's like boxing gloves mark please we're trying to
make a movie. Oh, shit, bro. I forgot. Sorry, Tim.
But their love triangle, such as it is, is hilarious
because, like, Helena Bottom Carter is giving him fuck
eyes this entire movie. Oh, yeah. And, like, every so often, he gives him
back, and it's my favorite, like, running joke of the movie is they
keep cutting back to the bodacious Estella Warren, who has nothing
to do in this movie, and it's a terrible actor. I think she has, like, three
lines. She has three lines, and she's not a mute character. It's just like, she just
literally has nothing to say
about the events
with Chris Christopherson
like he's given
no opinion
no but
they cut back to her
every single time
and she has a look of like
what's next
Tim what's next
why
am I the only one
who thinks that
Helen of Bonham Carter
looks more attractive
in ape makeup than out
yeah
am I
yeah you're not
I don't know I
he's an attractive lady she's
kind of just crazy she's always crazy
looking she's got a crazy looking
look yeah sure but like in movies
and out she just looks like a fucking lunatic
my goodness this thunderstorm
I wonder if this is getting picked up
otherwise it just sounds like we're a bunch of babies
oh the thunderstorm
we're trying to talk about the ape movie
it's gonna blow away our tree house
who knew
that doing a podcast in the tree house
would come to bite us
so hard.
Hey,
Ma,
the headquarters
is going to
get destroyed.
I wake you
in a movie
that came out
10 years ago.
It's a bad movie.
Shut up already.
No,
Mom,
you can come in.
You're not a
shield agent.
You're not a
W.H.M.
Shield agent.
Can't come
into a secret
playhouse.
Uh,
what else?
So,
uh,
well,
I mean,
David,
David,
what's is David Warner's in this movie?
As a nothing.
Warner.
Warner.
David Warner is my nickname for him
is, now we're talking,
because every time he shows up for the movie,
I'm like, all right, now we're talking.
And then, like, he's the,
he's the best part of that fucking
Teenage Mutiny Ninja Turtles, too.
Oh, yeah.
I'll tell you that much.
He's good in that.
He's great in The Omen.
I mean, he's just a great actor.
He's great straw dogs.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Yeah, absolutely.
So he's in this movie.
He's an ape senator of some kind
from an ape government we don't see.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
If you enter as Senator Ape into your movie,
I better see the chambers of this Senator Ape.
Coming up next on the $1,000 movie, Chris Cabin in Senator Ape.
But, yeah, you're right.
I don't want to, sir, you can't give the bananas to the hostages as well.
We don't negotiate with terrorism.
That's actually kind of a...
That complete non-sequitur is a good segue.
For what I think is a big problem with this movie is they don't, we split down the middle, which is a problem.
Everybody's very apish in this movie.
And they're all like, I have complex.
They're pretty, and then they go on about their business.
Yeah, I don't care for it.
I don't care for all, for a split second, you're going to be an animal.
No, exactly.
I do not care for it.
You're as smart as a human.
You know what I mean?
Like, you have ape instincts.
You have ape strength, maybe.
but like you're not just like even the ape strength though it's a bit ridiculous like
there's like michael clark duncan rest his goddamn soul is throwing people around in this
movie like it's a fucking crouching tiger it's like yenwo ping choreographed this shit people are
flying stories in the air the trampoline budget was out of control oh yeah oh yeah you're
talking at least a dozen trampolines on set at all times to throw these people all over the place
Three trampoline coordinators, all right?
Like guys to make sure the trampolines are where they need to be
and doing what they need to do.
And let me tell you, that's a specialized profession.
Those guys don't come cheap.
You need someone to coordinate your trampoline activities?
You're paying through the nose.
Yeah, because they're always trying to get you for more trampolines.
You're trying to sell a shot that's definitely got one trampol.
Oh, no.
You need three trampolines for an ape jump.
Look at that.
He jumps up in the air.
And listen, the wind velocities a certain way.
He goes off an angle.
There's no third trampoline to catch him.
That's a broken leg.
Look, you really want to hash this out?
Or do you want to see a monkey fly?
That's my question to you, Tim.
Do you think that you can actually make these people fly without a bigger trampoline?
You worry about the story pencil deck.
I'll worry about the fucking trampolines.
I'll worry about making movie magic happen with trampolines.
You got to bring on three of my guys.
Oh, yeah.
That's the thing with trampoline guys, man.
There's always some guys that he needs.
It's too big of a job.
job to do alone. All right, Tim, you want to go and throw Michael Clark Duncan into the air?
Good luck. All my faith is in you, pal. That is a big boy right there is all I'm going to say.
A big boy in gorilla makeup. Oh, you're going to need the premium trampoline package. You do know that the world's
biggest slingshot is in Nebraska and not in Los Angeles. That's transport. You're going to pay
transport fees
this thunderstorm
is really distracting
you know what mother nature you're ruining this
conversation
sorry
so we go to
the first first first
we all get sold as slaves
there's a really creepy
a little girl that wants to
a little ape girl that wants to buy a little
human girl and it's fucking terrifying
the the whole
ape children thing really
creeps me out in this movie oh yeah I think
this might be the closest like
Burton-esque thing you have going on
is these little like
and they're all like little
they're all dressed like
like little Monty Burns like
1920 sailor suit kids
you know what it's like it's like
we're just talking about this movie before we went on the air
it's like an insidious when they have that
little person dressed up as a sailor and he's
dancing to the record and it's like
and he's like
that's what these little
apes remind me of and I'm just as
terrified as I wasn't insidious.
And there's just really weird, so it's, it's, uh, Paul Giamatti's ape, who is named Limbo.
Um, um, and this, the, the little monkey is, uh, Thade's niece.
Yes.
Or whatever.
Or whatever.
Tim Roth.
Yeah.
Uh, and she's picking out a little human for herself that she's going to put into a cage later.
It's like you get, like, uh, like, uh, American girl dolls.
Do you put them in cages, though?
I don't really think so, but I mean.
I mean, some girls, hey.
But again, like, it's not funny, and it's not, the movie isn't supposed to really be that disturbing.
But, like, still, Giamati's like, oh, yeah, you'll get a good little, look at this little treasure.
And he's, like, rubbing her hair.
And he's like, I got a good collar for this human.
And you're like, dude just stopped.
Tim Roth kind of apes out of him.
This is one of the times where he's like, ooh, ah.
And, like, yells at him.
And I was like, did he just ape?
He made an ape sound?
All right.
I guess we're aping out in this movie.
Oh, we're aping.
apes out all over the place, up and down.
But it's a really weird, like, are there rumors about Paul Giamatti's orangutan, like,
going around the ape village?
You know, like, listen, if you're going to go buy an ape from limbo, leave the kids
at home.
Look, I went door to door like you asked.
I told everybody.
I hate how I always have to move.
It's ridiculous.
Oh, man, that Chris Hansen ape really taught me what's what?
I went to this ape house
With a bunch of ape records and candy bars
A bunch of ape condoms
Left me waiting in the kitchen
Like an ass
It's a Tratman Hanson
Entrapment, Ook, Ook, Ook!
They air that shit on Ape TV
I was ruined
I was ape ruined Hanson
Chris Hanson as an ape
Still would have a pedophile
Catch-all show
You still have a full suit, too, while he's doing it.
Hey there, Oook, Oook.
Sit down, Oook.
Why don't you have a seat right here, Ook, Ook.
I'm going to leave.
No, no, no, please.
Just sit right down.
I think I'm going to leave now.
He's running.
We have an Ook, Ook, we have a runner.
I was just trying to get some human slaves.
And I mean, like, we go to a party, and now we're talking David Warner's house, which is fine.
and he's doing his best you know
he's got nothing to do you this is what I don't get
you have an amazing actor on your hands
and you just let him
shit himself away into the rest of the movie
I mean that's kind of everybody
except for Mark Wahlberg in this movie right
has David Warner worked with Burton
and other things was he in Sleepy Hollow
no could have been but I don't think so
I mean there's a lot of pasty fucks in that movie
he could sleep in the background but
speaking of pasty fucks we all
also have, as a big old baboon, the dude who played Otho is hanging out.
And he's, of course, some, like, a fete delegate of some kind.
And he's got some sex, the sexy ape ladies in this movie.
You could roll up smoke and keep in your lungs for the rest of your life.
Hold that shit in, bro.
Sexy apes get you fucked up.
This is really weird.
It is.
It's uncomfortable.
She's just like, hey there.
And she kind of looks like
the mother of that Russian prostitute
that Tony Sopranos sleeping with,
like with the fake leg.
Yeah.
Kind of, like a little bit, not really.
But I'm just like, why do we need the sex factor here?
Sex is all over this movie for no reason.
Nakes are getting it on, man.
Here's the odd thing about it.
Is that Fox, like, they were going to make
the relationship between Helen and Bottom Carter
ape and Mark Wahlberg
Heyb. Oh, sorry, human.
Human. Quote, unquote, human.
Dude. Mark Wahlberg, dude.
Hey, Tim, when am I getting to my ape makeup?
Oh, fuck it, bro. The Bruins game is on.
Oh, dude, are we in overtime?
Oh, shit. Dude, it's sudden death.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, sudden death.
Oh, cool. Can I bring the real life inspiration for Turtle to set?
Oh, shit, bro. Can I bring the real life inspiration for the fighter to set?
Oh, he played the real guy in the movie, too?
Oh, fuck, bro.
I didn't even watch it.
I fucked that whole thing up.
I'm sorry, Chris.
Sorry, yes.
So Fox wanted to make, like, Fox boycotted them making the relationship, like, a center of the film.
Were they supposed to be DTF?
Yeah.
Well, they were supposed to be, it was supposed to be a romance.
It was supposed to be, like, a romance between them.
Fox said it was too weird.
Yeah.
And yet they let this out.
All of the whole movie, like, I mean, it's even weirder because you're split.
the difference you know like it's just this weird like they have fuck guys the whole time and they're
almost like but i would close up to each other here's the thing i would rather see like you play it old
hollywood right like they come together they start you know ape making out and then like
listen maybe they like fall down on an ape bed and you ape fade out yeah you know what i mean
and instead what we have is because that's a confirmation something happened but you don't have to
it. Instead, what we have is the fuck
eyes. And then what you're realizing
is like they're thinking about doing
all sorts of dirty
ape human related things to
each other. Not okay.
And there's no confirmation of what those things
are. Like at least if I just see him kiss and you
ape fade out. It's just
they kiss. Imagination runs wild. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever. But within
a certain parameter. Yeah.
Like this, it's like, I don't know what you're thinking.
You're freaking me out. It might be
genteel rather than whatever the fuck
Otho ends up being
going to do in his bedroom.
Because at the end, Charlton Heston
goes up to Kim Hunter
and he's like, I'm going to kiss you on the lips.
And she's like, but you're so ugly.
And it's like, thank you for making the movie
understand that we could never, ever have sex
in any way, shape, or form.
I'm going to go fuck that other one over there.
I'm going to fuck that quiet one.
We're having a dinner party.
Yes, all right, the dinner party.
My favorite part about, like, Michael Clark
Duncan is my favorite part of this movie.
He's the best part.
Yeah.
And his character is hilarious because he's all into this ape religion that no one else gives the shit about.
And he's just, like, everyone doesn't give a fuck except for really weirdly religious Michael Clark Duncan ape.
And everyone's talking and like no one's saying grace.
So he goes, bow your heads.
And it is hilarious.
Yeah, he's got to praise the ape overlord before they eat their meal.
He's just like, praise Simos.
you came from the banana trees and like it's just like this crazy stupid religion but he does it
with conviction and it's funny and it's awesome because he was a fucking god damn amazing actor he was
he brought up everything he's in everything he's in he elevates any time he's on screen in this
movie it's kind of a good movie yeah and then it cuts back to fucking mark walberg watching
hockey it's just bad again but uh so they're having this and this
is where we get like, it's the real
layout. It's like the exposition train
pulls into the station where you find out
like Helena Bottom Carter has been fighting for human
rights for a while. She keeps bringing humans into
the house. She's David Warner's daughter.
He's not really cool
with it. And, you know,
Tim Roth is like the general who's from
this, like, prestigious family.
Supposedly he's like
a descendant from
the fucking ape overlord
that we'll get to at the end.
Seimos. Yeah, sorry.
sorry about that.
I forgot their god Seimos.
The ape got Seimos.
What?
Why is everyone looking at me?
And you also get something about like,
this is what I felt at least.
Like there was supposedly an arranged marriage
between Tim Roth and Helena Bottom Carter.
Like they were maybe friends as like little ape cubs.
Yeah.
Or whatever you call a baby ape.
And then like as they grew up,
like David Warner was like,
well, of course they'll get married,
saying to Tim Roth's father with,
which is Charlton Heston in this movie.
And then, like, it just didn't happen because Tim Roth's, like, a maniac.
And she, like, listens to all cool ape records, you know?
Oh, yeah.
And she went to Ape College and really came back a different person.
And he stayed around.
Listened to Ape Beck a lot.
Did a lot of ape sit-ins.
Meanwhile, Tim Roth's back at home.
Just listen to Ape, Toby Keith.
Ape not.
Ape not.
The system of an ape.
Oh, man, system of an ape.
Power man, ape, 1,000.
Or I guess power ape, 5,000, whichever when you want.
You finish your joke, man.
That's fine.
Ape zombie.
He's listening to all of those.
Nickel ape.
Like, that's when he cooled down.
That's like now he's listening to Nicola.
Now he's listening to Nicola ape.
Dude, I would listen to Nickel ape over Nickelback any day or week.
Clearly.
So it's like there's some infighting there.
Never made it as a wise ape.
Couldn't make it as a poor ape.
Stealing, I loved you, ape, I loved you all along ape.
So ape away an ape too long.
I like the way you wear your ape hair.
I like a way you're on your ape knees, whatever that fucking weird blowjob song.
That's about him just getting a Canadian blowjob.
Oh, thank you.
Shad Kroger.
No, there's so many unnecessary vowels in that name.
sort of umlaught over that e by the way
possibly like trog's ale or whatever
I apologize
no I don't apologize
I mean so now we break out of David Warner's house
because Estelle Warren
and everybody all the important
characters become slaves at David
Warren's house
and Mark Wolbe was like
I'm pretty smart I could break out of this
and like he breaks out of the cage
because no one ever fucking thought of that before
and it's not even the problem is they don't make
it out in the original
movie the humans are stupid
the humans can't speak
they have undeveloped brains and have no idea what fire
is or anything right but these people
are talking and like totally fine but they're like
I guess we're just slaves to apes you know what I mean
like and Marco's like yo bro
these these bars are made out of wood you could break these
oh wow thank you so what you got to do bro is take
a stick and put it in between the rope knot
and then you just twist the stick in a circle until it breaks
you break out that's all
can you get a pack of Marlarets
can get those in here
bro can I smoke in here
I can blow this whole damn
bro I can smoke in this ape prison
bro I just might stay
all we need is some
butt heavy tall boys
bro you get a couple of springsteins in here
put a poster up on the wall
and that'd be so bad
oh mercy
go down to McChimpies
and we'll just have a drink
Mick Chimpies
and like
I feel like there was a scene
in which, like, maybe Chris Christopherson died of old age or something.
It's like, nah, fuck it.
I got to die.
Got to kill me by ape.
And you got to gut me like a fish.
It's the only way I'm going down.
It's how I've legally determined I will go out in real life.
I'm going to go out like that in the movie.
It's in the will, by the way.
Kill me.
God damn it.
You, God damn, ape.
Kill me.
If I die of a heart attack, nobody gets fucking anything.
If you see me going down from a heart attack,
You better gut me like a fucking fish.
You want a red fucking cent of my millions.
Christopherson's millions, by the way.
That's a movie I'll watch.
It's the first person to murder him.
It's just four people sitting in a room like,
uh, you think he's really got that money?
It's like, uh, kind arts and coronets.
They're all just trying to fucking kill him.
So, yeah, we're breaking out.
Does everybody live in the same house in this movie?
I don't know what the,
The ape village, I mean, is so, everything is brown and gray, and it's boring as sin.
Yep.
And everything looks the same, so I don't know what, like, the layout of Warner's house ends and wherever fucking.
Well, because they, when, Paul, whatever the fucking Othos house begins.
Because when they break out of the cage, they're run, it's like out of a Scooby-Doo cartoon.
They keep running through different people's rooms.
Yes.
And they're all in, like, different states of getting ready for bed.
And Otho's getting ready to have some really wild ape sex.
Like, it's getting gross.
Like, he's got his arms up, like, here it comes.
And then, like, the, like, the lady apes, like, got her arms just ook-ooking up in the air.
He's fucking licking pieces of papaya off his fingers.
It's, I wanted to fucking throw up.
I would say this.
This movie has one star.
If they go all the way and have hardcore ape sex, two stars.
Like unsimulated, weird, but no, the humans come in and they jump up like monkeys go,
ook, ook, ook, and it's...
The two of them, no joke, jump up and hang from a chandelier.
A single, chandelier.
Yeah, what is the fucking support structure of this lighting apparatus, man?
Well, I kind of think it's like, because nobody's knocking on a fucking door in this movie.
So, I feel like that's one of your main...
watching it like, man, no one's fucking knocking
this movie, and it's pissing me off.
He's not a fucking door. Every last one of them.
Would it kill you as shit?
They run through like the little girl's room
and they get the little girl, the little
human girl. He puts her in a cage. He's like,
good night. And I'm like,
fucking hell. What movie?
I just almost watched two apes have sex.
Now I'm watching apisidious
again. And
I just can't.
Hilariously also, Paul Giumati in his
bedroom is hanging upside down
like kind of brushing his teeth or whatever
is going on. He's using rose petals
as like deodorant. Oh, that's right.
And I, all I could start thinking
about was fucking
dumbass American beauty. And I was
like picturing Paul Chiomani
as this goddamn orangutan
like dancing and doing like
cheerleading and Kevin's face. He's just
watching roses come out of his chest.
And then I threw up again.
There's so many times in this movie
when I almost throw up, it's insane.
The Giovanni scene where he's putting rose petals all over himself.
The one thing, the cut that was made is they cut out the ape webcam that he's in front of.
An ape chate, ape roulette or whatever he's doing.
Just ape dicks.
Just nothing.
Another ape dick.
Another Giamati ape dick.
That's it.
Between all of these, there's also...
Between all the rudeness.
All the rudeness.
There is also a Mr. Magoo ape who's fucking taken out his dentures and putting his...
sleeping cap on i think that was uh who did the the ape effects for this i think it's it's
baker it's it's baker i think that's the ape that rick baker plays because he's credited as like
elderly ape oh all right you know why you can't tell because this ape doesn't have a
beautiful silver ponytail like rick baker's head is i think rick baker came out of the womb
with that gorgeous silver pony that's how they pulled him out by the the umbilical cord
worked differently for rick baker is all i'm gonna say he's coming out of
pony tail first.
And it's like pure silver
shit.
Oh my God, does she have a pony in here?
I'm like, oh no, it's just a little Rick Baker.
And we escape.
And this movie stalls out.
I mean, so we're on the run
and that sounds a lot more exciting than it is.
You know what I don't need in my Planet of the Apes movie?
Like a fucking road movie coming in
out of nowhere. And we're just going to
Mark Wahlberg's homing
beacon that he's got. He's like, bro, all I got to do is tune on this gadget. And then like all
the apes are like, you use your magic, human. He's like, bro, it's not magic. It's science. Look.
Look how scientific this is. Bro, I'm going to text my brother, Donnie Wahlberg. See what he's doing.
Oh, my God. He's having fun. I wish I was with him. Yo, bro, my bro, Duttitz is at the Sox game.
You know, my bro Duttitz has cancer, right? It's a real bummer. Oh, man. My bro, my
had a really rough patch when he showed up naked in Bruce Willis's house.
Oh my God, I think he killed that guy.
Bro, did you know in that movie he was dead all the time?
That whole time I'm watching that movie, I'm like, there's a guy he's on a date.
And he's dead.
How does a ghost go on a date, bro?
That movie's so stupid.
There is a one pink hair separating Mark Wahlberg impression with snagglepus.
Like, literally, it's just one pink hair.
Oh, the Red Sox game.
Same difference.
That's ridiculous.
So we're on the run.
And the whole thing, he's like, he's like, listen, all I have to do is get to this homing beacon.
My folks are going to come.
They're going to get me.
And that's going to be end of it.
It's going to be great.
I'm going to get off the planet of the games.
I get up this dirty ape planet.
And like, hell out of the bottom card is like, excuse me?
Now I want to fuck you just a little bit less, but just a little bit.
Because I still want to fuck you.
I'm going to fuck your brains out.
I'm going to fuck your human brains out.
I'm going to hate chip fuck you.
And then cut to Estella Warren.
You know, I was in that movie Driven.
I was pretty helpful in that film.
Also, I'm kind of, you know, Benson's arch nemesis.
What?
She's got like three episodes where she's playing the same like con artist
who's trying to undermine.
Benson. Yeah, you're right. Oh, I forgot all about that. She's got her mother involved. It's a whole fucking thing. Yep. Yep. Oh, you're totally right. Right. I was right, though. She's in that movie Driven. She's in Driven. It's Slice Stallone and Bert Reynolds and Bert Reynolds is in that movie. I never saw. I think of Berndt Reynolds is in that movie. I know Slice in it. I mean, like, we're just on the run and we're just kind of learning all about, there's,
Like you said, Chris, all of the exposition is just spoon-fed to you.
And, like, so much of it's unnecessary, we learned so much about Michael Clark Duncan's character,
who I like, but means nothing to the story.
Absolutely nothing.
Which is unfortunate because, like, you would think, especially because his character, you know,
spoiler or whatever, at the end of the movie, like, turns and becomes, like, pro-human.
And it's like, let's work together.
You would see those cracks earlier in the movie.
And the horse shit is, it's only until, like,
What he believes to be, like, his religious vision, like, comes true that he's like,
oh, no, I've been totally mistaken.
Humans are good now.
Well, because they very lightly set up that him and Thade are like best buds.
Because Thade literally gets on a horse, and he's like, you know, my best friend.
And it's like, okay.
Wow.
To be completely honest, I didn't see that coming.
Thanks.
We haven't talked since junior year of Chimp College.
And now all of a sudden, I'm your best friend?
I thought this was purely professional.
When was the last time we hung out?
I would love to watch a curb your enthusiasm with the two apes.
Look, I'm not saying I won't get a beer with you.
Of course I'll get a beer with you.
You're, you know, an acquaintance, but best, best friend.
It makes me feel uncomfortable that I have to then reciprocate that you are also my best friend.
But aren't we best friends?
Well, that's what I'm trying to display to you.
You're all friend.
Aw friend.
I have several friends and one best friend that doesn't happen to be you.
This is the first I'm hearing of you thinking that I am your best friend.
Would you like to meet my best friend?
It's a really nice guy.
It's orangutan.
He lives over on the south part of the tree.
Speaking of just real quick, because it's another thing that makes me throw up.
And it happens twice in this movie.
We'll just get it out of the way now.
Dialogue references to the first film, which I just.
want to vomit because Michael Clark Duncan
is the first of two actors that does it
and it's they they invert it
because oh isn't it just creative
it's like Chris Christopherson like tries to
fight him and he does the like
get your hands off me you
damn dirty human and I'm just
like oh fucking really
like did you expect the movie
theater to explode when that
happened somebody must have
he he mugs it a bit he's like
get your hands off me you damn dirty
human
But it's also like, okay, if you like went into Kate Blanchett's house
And like, it's your first time
And the first fucking thing she does is show you her Oscar
I was actually
She doesn't even let you get in the front fucking door
She answers a door with the Oscar in her hand
Like that's the big line everybody knows that line
Everybody's waiting for don't go for that big one man
Go for the smaller moments
Which brings me to
And this is this
summer blockbuster extravaganza. I've had
a lot of like in theater stories
and whatnot. I have one
about this and it occurred at this
line. So when
this movie came out in 2001, me
and Chris and a bunch of our friends were working at the
multiplex that I've mentioned a billion times
on this show. And we were all super
excited about the Planet of the Apes movie.
And so, you know, as
we did a lot, we watched the movie the night before
it comes out. And we had
a teacher in high
school that really, really, really
loved Planet of the Apes. Like, the
first one was like one of his favorite movies of all time.
He was a big sci-fi guy.
So we invited him. And he was like
super stoked to come. He was really excited that we
let him in and blah, blah, blah.
Well, don't we get
to get your damn hands off me,
you damn dirty human? This guy
stands up. And I was like
oh, he's got to go to the bathroom,
I guess. And I'm sitting on
the eye, you know, like a good aisle seat, put my
legs out. And he spots me. And he spots
me and he comes up and he leans in
and I'm like, don't ask permission
to go to the bathroom, dude, just go to the bathroom.
And he leans in, he goes,
ah, thanks anyway.
And left the fucking theater.
He didn't even fucking sit through
the whole movie. Smart man.
Very, very smart man.
The other line is Charlton
Heston, who plays Tim Roth's
ailing father in the movie.
Who has a gun. He's got a gun.
He's holding a gun.
He's got a gun.
and
when he's
he's dying
he's telling Tim Roth
like you have to take care of these humans
you got to take care of this pesky Mark Wahlberg
human
and he does
He looks so stupid
Trashed me
You'll see
And he's got this like
Blaster in his hand that he's got
You don't know how he got his hands on it just yet
But he has the fucking damn them
Damn them all the hell line
Yeah
And you're just sitting there
Throwing up
All over your living room
watching this or at least i was i mean the the the new one has it it's got get your hands off
me you'd stink it but at least it's like it's a bit of a throwaway it's kind of a joke because
it's fucking draco malfoy doing it draco melfoy who's got a great career in playing unlikable
characters there's some i don't know what movie it is it came out this year it's about
uh matthew good has an has has has like old england has like an african american daughter
Bell. Bell. And all I
Schmaltz Fest of the
year. I saw the trailer
and all it is is Draco Malfoy being like,
well, she's disgusting. And I'm like,
yep. Un desirable.
Yeah, I'm like, I get it, Draco Malfoy. Nobody's
supposed to like you ever again.
I read some article where
he's like the poster child for why you shouldn't
pay kids millions of dollars.
Oh, really? Like, I guess he like burned through
all his Harry Potter money and had like
tons of debt and had like all these cars
and shit. The whole article
was about how he had to hire a money manager and like he's just doing all these shitty movies
so he can like not be in crippling debt. That's kind of unfortunate. That sucks. Yeah,
it's a real bummer. And I mean, speaking of fucking, you know, blowing Harry Potter money,
Tim Roth. Oh, man. Well, let's talk about it. We always love like the, the casting rumor news.
Tim Roth turns down the role of Snape in Harry Potter, who is in every single one of those
fucking movies.
Made famous by the amazing actor Alan Rickman.
Who is great in it.
And I'm really happy he got it.
But I'm also kind of interested to see what Tim Roth would have done with the character.
But I can just imagine like sitting home the dark nights for fucking Tim Roth.
I imagine he's thinking about that.
And he's just being like, man.
Well, it's like that part in Aladdin when they're in the room full of money and Abu grabs a coin and it all turns to nothing.
I mean, that's what it was with fucking Tim Roth, man.
It was a room full of money.
All he needs to do is cool his shit and choose the right way.
But this is what's, it's fucked up, though.
But think about it this way.
Like, if you're, like, a grown adult actor who's, like, working pretty consistently.
And you have no fucking clue what Harry Potter is, right?
Like, it's 2000.
It's 2000.
You have no idea.
And you're like, oh, okay, well, fuck.
Like, they're offering me this thing.
I don't know.
I'm playing a fucking wizard.
But this is the planet of the apes.
It's Tim Burton.
And I'm the main villain.
It's some fucking boy magician directed by Chris Columbus, whatever.
Yeah.
And you just, I mean, it sucks, but I can understand why you would be like, the apes.
It's a new ape franchise.
Like, it's going to happen.
Burton's doing the first one.
He's probably going to do this sequel.
I read the whole script to the end, so I know there's a sequel coming.
And I'm a statue at the end.
Wow.
Hey, wow.
Yeah, like, who knows what my character is going to go on to do?
I mean, who could even imagine it?
Yeah, no.
Long nights.
hard times for Tim Roth
turning it down
man in his second home but still
yeah I mean he's doing just fine
he's not poor he's working
actor Tim Roth
but yeah man that's I mean
dude that fucking Harry Potter role
that's like that's your retirement check
Alan Ripon doesn't have to do work
anymore he's going to do work because he's
an actor and he likes doing it because I
choose to
precisely out
and I mean I don't even know
Like, honestly, it's a very long stretch of this movie where we're going through the woods
and we're going to this secret temple called Kalimah, which, A, I'm like, oh, cool, Indiana
Jones, you know?
I kept thinking it.
And then I was like, I was like, fucker, man.
I don't even really like Temple of Doom all that much.
I mean, I like it.
It's an Indiana Jones movie.
But, like, fuck, I wish I was watching Temple of Doom right now.
Do you, though?
It's an argument for another day.
Shockty day, baby.
So we get to
We get to Kalimov finally
After this Goonies-esque fucking
Treasure Hunt where we're getting all
the background that nobody
wanted about the religion
of the apes
About Seimos
We see Michael Clark Duncan Prey
It a little hut
And he's got this thing
Oh Seimos you delivered us from ape hood
It's so fucking fun
I never thought watching an ape prey
Would be funny but it is
It's one of the funniest things
I've seen all week.
This is an ape saying prayers.
We get to what, you know,
Mark Wahlberg's Holman Beacon, my
spaceship's right here. Oh my God.
It's an ancient spaceship.
Am I an ancient alien?
Like, it's like, oh, great.
And obviously what happened was
they went through the time tunnel
to his spaceship,
that is, and they crashed
thousands of years ago
because the time tunnel isn't explained at all.
Not at all.
You know what, Steve?
That's what makes it mysterious.
That's what makes it kind of scary, right?
Like, oh my God, I know nothing about this time tunnel.
It could be anything.
It's really ill-defined and shitty.
Oh, my God, that's kind of scary.
Fuck, bro.
The Knicks are playing the Celtics and they might be beating them.
I got to turn on ESPN too.
I mean, like, yeah, so 3,000 years ago,
those apes that they had on their spaceship came out and revolt.
It's the whole space station crashes to the ground.
Which is something.
Like, you had said to space station.
after one asshole pilot?
Well, because they kept blowing all the fucking
pods on the goddamn ape.
Expeditions, man.
That's why you don't blow all these pods on apes.
They had nothing left.
They were like, all right, somebody go after him.
What's that?
Oh, fuck, we've got to take the whole station in.
Oh, Jesus.
This is going to cost us.
Who knew 2029 was going to be so stressful?
I just, I like the idea of them, like,
sending every egg they have.
And then it's just one, it's like,
Mike Ellis left in the fucking station,
be like, well, what else the fuck am I going to do?
And it goes right in.
Because that whole thing is crash landed.
Yeah.
And buried in the sand.
And that's like the origin.
Because, yeah, it's like you were saying.
That space station isn't supposed to land everybody.
Like, I want to see the deleted scene where they're trying to figure that shit out.
Oh, shit.
Everyone's yelling.
Like, we shouldn't be doing this, you know.
One third of deep space nine ain't supposed to land on a planet.
You know, it's a little weird to be putting rockets and fuel inside your space station.
for travel.
It's a station.
It stays.
I mean, stationary.
Honestly, all I could do is manage
the trampolines downstairs,
but you should not be landing this thing.
Like, does it look like it has landing gear to you?
It doesn't look like it has landing gear to me.
You want me to put wheels on it.
Tim, you want me to put wheels on your station.
I'll be over here with the tramps.
That's what we call them in the business.
Tramps.
you ever sleep on a trampoline it's a great time great for you back so tim roth and gets his whole army
and his best pal michael clark duncan like he keeps it's hilarious because every fucking 20
minutes he keeps stopping and being like but you're still my best friend and like yeah best friend
are we still going to karaoke on saturday just triple checking we're still best friends right
I will not ask Helena Bonham Carter to go out with you
Just pass her this note
You had your chance in ape high school
There's a fucking dumb sequence where like they raid this ape outpost or something
Well apes are so scared of water Andrew
Even though it's a culture that builds houses
They have to bathe themselves for sure
And they're so terrified of water
Like they're fucking vampires and it's sunlight
It doesn't make sense
It's so stupid
And this is the time where you really see some aping out
Because like they run to the riverbed
And hell on a bottom carter like doesn't want to cross it
Yeah
And Mark Wahlberg's like just get on ape woman
I'll carry you
And they like kind of swim across
And all these apes like run up to the water
Just like ah fuck
And then just start like huck and flaming rocks at them
It's so stupid
And it serves no point in the story whatsoever.
And it doesn't make sense because they're practically people.
And they should know what water is.
They should have boats.
There should be a fucking ape Navy.
Yeah, I mean, without her, take the ape out of that sea.
It's a city slickers scene.
You're totally right.
It's, I mean, here's a question I had just because we're at this point.
We're talking about crossing a river.
Yeah.
Which makes me think of like old John Ford movies or something.
I'm thinking about horses, right?
Why is it, and it's not just this movie,
it's the whole planet of the apes franchise.
Why is it that it's just ape people and then horses?
Nothing else.
No birds, no lizards.
A dog of some kind.
There's nothing.
It's just apes and horses.
Not even a bug, not even fucking cockroach in the entire series.
You don't see shit.
It's just these fucking horses.
And I'm like, where did they get these goddamn Palomino's from?
If they're all ape people
Where are the fucking horses coming from?
It makes no sense
Robert Redford ape is just fucking raising horses somewhere
Just talking to him
Swissoring
Oh pardon me
There you go
There's a little phantom menacing going on here as well
Which we can't
Because it's 2001, it's two years later
Oh the plot
Yeah
The plot
Yeah the plot
The murder plot
Well because Tim Roth
Like you know
Helena Bader Carter
goes off with all the humans and Tim Roth's
like, oh, I can turn this into political
power. And he goes
to David Warner in his last scene
and is like, oh, if you make me like
General of the world, then...
He tells him like, if
you institute martial law.
And I'm like, wait a second. Ape martial
law, he's just an ape senator.
Where's the rest of the ape senate?
He needs to go to the ape senate
floor and let's do it.
Let's really do it. Yoda and all
the rest of the apes have to fucking vote on
this thing before you, before you go and do this.
David Warner Ape goes to
Chimp Washington.
Chimpington.
Chimpington.
That's where if they made a planet of the ape's cartoon,
they'd all live, is Chimpington.
Oh, yeah.
Chimpington.
Maybe that's Chimpington College.
Chimpington University.
Yes, most definitely. There's a Chimpington.
University of South Chimpington, probably.
Actually, Chimpington University is where you would see the stories unfold of
of Michael Clark Duncan ape and Timpington.
Tim Roth Ape becoming best friend.
Come on, your locker's right next to him.
And I mean, honestly, once you find out that, oh, my God, Mark Wahlberg is responsible for
the Planet of the Apes all along, there's still 45 minutes left because you know what we
got to do?
Battle scenes.
You know what Tim Burton's bad at?
Battle scenes.
And it's not just we've got to do a battle scene.
It's that everybody had, like everybody's out of head here at Congress.
And you're like, oh, Mark Wahlberg's responsible for the planet of the apes.
All right, everybody, back to your corners.
We're going to talk about this.
We're going to strategize.
And then we're going to come back.
And then we'll have the big battle scene.
So fucking apes are at the gate.
And the humans are trying to make this temple their home.
And it's like, oh, fuck, here come a bunch of apes on horseback.
And they're going to fucking rip our faces off and fuck them.
Because that's what apes do to people.
And oh, shit, we better get our plants together.
And this kid's like, can I play? Can I play?
We are not play.
And Mark Wahlberg says a couple times, like, you got to get somewhere else.
You got to be not around me because I'm the fucking general all of a sudden.
Fade's coming from me.
Fade's looking for me.
And when it fucking happens, this kid gets on a horse and falls fucking down immediately.
And it's like, of course he did.
And you know what Mark Wahlberg's character, fuck you in this movie for running after him and saving him?
Nope.
You are the leader of this battle.
you fucking stand back like this kid jumped the gun and messed it up that's not your fault mark walberg oh man a bunch of stampeding apes just rip this kid to ribbons oh yeah two and a half stars oh there's some serious that's a full three for me there's post here's how it's a full three for me chris postmortem face fucking yeah or just taking a big fucking monkey dump on his chest yeah oh yeah they rip them apart and pound them like apes like to do and then they shit on them and then
You got to desecrate that corpse before it's official.
Well, because now it's yours.
You own the corpse.
This back and forth nonsense that happens in this movie is really frustrating because there's one scene where Mark Wahlberg is like, listen, these apes are coming from me.
I'm going to tell, he's talking to whatever the girls.
Estella Warren.
Stella Warren.
Yeah.
You know, and he's like, listen, I'm going to go.
I'm going to tell everybody they can just retreat.
The apes want me.
And then Estella Warren goes.
And then Mark Wahlberg's like, okay, yeah, I'm going to go.
And he's like, he's, listen to everybody, go back, go hide.
I'm going to take care of it.
They want me.
They don't want you.
They want me.
And so, oh, shit, Tim.
Am I a reluctant hero?
I like this.
This is like my ninth line of dialogue.
I like this reluctant hero ang.
You're a really good director.
You did really well by me.
Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim.
Call cut.
Stop everything.
Bro, you directed Batman?
We've been filming this.
shit for like 30 days.
Dude, how is it working with Jack Nicholson?
Were you scared?
That movie scares the shit out of me.
Bro, I shit my pants every time I see him
in that Joker makeup. That shit's fucked up.
And, you know, no disrespect.
I actually prefer Batman Forever.
And, you know, he's a reluctant hero
and he finally gives a speech
about great human beings on my planet
or something. But that's what I'm
talking about. That scene comes like
five minutes after he tells everybody to go home.
Nobody learns anything in this
movie Andrew. People say things and then other things happen. He has the line, this is the day you get
to stand up to the apes. Let's go. It's what he fucking says to these people. That says rally cry.
Let's go already. Fucking shut up. You're the worst leader ever. And then we're all having a big
ape war. And you know, the ape action for all, we're all leaping. We're all fucking hitting people.
No one's head gets ripped off. Nobody's fucking face gets ripped off. There's no, there's no violence.
noticing that all the violence is like
just conveniently out
of frame. Yeah, a lot of, and like
a lot of critics brought this up and it's
super true. I felt the PG-13
in this one. Oh yeah.
You can feel that there was this line they just could
not cross. Yep. And it makes the whole
fucking thing stupid
because it's fucking apes
you know, bullying each other. And like
the line was the hem
of Helena Bottom Carter's ape skirt.
Thanks anyway.
Tim Roth is
bludgeoning
people bludgeoning
gorillas left and right
oh yeah
and they show nothing
like I'm thinking now
of like Game of Thrones
and spoiler alert right now
Game of Thrones
spoiler alert
spoiler alert
Game of Thrones right now
the full storm warning
but it's the fucking
it's the mountain and the viper
and you think about how
oh yeah
how much that was
fucking intense right
and then I'm just like
watching Tim
Roth is pounding nothing. He might as well be playing an electric drum kid.
Because it's just like he's pounding and you just hear a noise and then someone's dead.
A Tim Roth sized chimpanzee. Did you ever see like anyone who's run a foul of a chimp?
They all look like Gary Oldman and Hannibal. Like you know what I mean? Like there's nothing left.
And it's because they're fucked up. So we have this big ape war.
And they're like kind of getting going with the fighting. Also Mark Wahlberg, let's
some fuel loose and there's a big explosion.
So they think that, like, the space station is a weapon that will fire this off at any time.
And it's ridiculous because, like, a bunch of apes approach.
He fires it off.
There's some apes that get fried.
There's a little bit of crispy critter action, which is pretty cool.
Yeah.
But then they get up.
They all just kind of get up.
And I was like, didn't I just see you burn?
I saw him burn.
He burned.
And then, like, Michael Clark Duncan says, like, you know, like, oh, well, they have this weapon.
It's pretty dangerous.
And Tim Roth's like, fuck it, the movie has to end.
And he just, like, runs in and they start fighting.
And then Michael Clark, Duncan fights his mentor.
Like, come on.
It is stupid.
He's the fifth-billed character.
I don't need that character to have a mentor and a final fucking fight.
And if you're going to have that fight, it better be longer than 30 seconds.
Yep, and him just beating on some more beating on playing.
Oh, my mentor missed a punch.
He's dead.
That's it.
That's the whole fucking thing.
Do a Diddy Kong drum challenge.
or whatever the fuck this thing is.
God, oh my God.
If fucking Michael Clark Duncan Guerrilla
rode a rhinoceros in this.
Oh, yeah, man.
Oh, man, I'm all in it.
Dude, Duncan Country movie, I'm in.
Oh, absolutely.
That would be fantastic, a Donkey Kong country movie.
Maybe Peter Jackson, Andy Circus.
You can go, like, full animated on that, too, by the way.
Like, not, you don't even have to do CGI.
Just straight up, you know, animation.
Straight up animation.
So the dildo returns.
The return of the magic finger finally lands.
And oh my God.
Oh, my God.
It's my own monkey friend.
Pericles.
And here's, it's Pericles, like, comes in for a landing.
And Michael Clark Duncan starts having this goddamn religious epiphany like you have never seen.
And he's like bowing down to this little chimp who just gets out of the spaceship.
Everybody bows.
The whole war stops.
The whole war that's, you know, people are dead, you know, fucking everyone's just moitered.
already and no
everybody stops and they're like
oh my god it's that monkey that
we thought was going to come back like Jesus
and it's him
and then we go inside the spaceship
Tim Roth is like fuck this bullshit
Tim Roth's the only one
he's like the only ape atheist
the whole crew
he's just like this is bullshit
on a plan
he like they chase
religion is no basis for a government
he starts chasing him down
he fucking chases
is Mark Wahlberg and Pericles
like into the space station and
there is a hilarious chimp stunt
double. It's like a chimp
stunt dummy because like Tim Roth
picks him up and he's like, you're no God
and throws him against the wall and it's
just a fucking ape
stuffed animal in an astronaut
outfit getting thrown against a
wall. I'm going to tell you, when that ape
astronaut woke up that morning,
he did not think he was going to travel
into the future and be thrown
by a sentient intelligent
ape against a wall. Of course not because
he didn't even think he was going to wake up and find
out he was going to be a father.
Oh yeah. It's all the same
day for this ape and I'm sorry
but what convenient shit.
When your time tunnel is as random
as the time tunnel is in this movie
you're telling me at the fucking
crux of this ape, human
war, this all
out war is when this
dumb little chimp's going to fart his way
back into the movie. That's a
pretty convenient plot line.
tunnel. There might as well be a
fucking phone booth and Bill and Ted come out with the
Chimble. Look who we found in the future.
Hey, so crates.
Check it out. Look at all these monkeys.
So they have a fight.
Mark Wahlberg locks Tim Roth
and like part of the space station.
Tim Roth has the gun
that Charlton Heston gave him and he's trying to like kill
Mark Wahlberg. And they do like a dumb
ass like he's an ape like
learning how you correctly hold
the gun for their first time.
Another thing that happens is Tim Roth, as an ape, punches Mark Wahlberg numerous times, and he's not dead.
No.
Which is a big problem for me.
He's not dead.
There's a lot of trampoline tosses going on.
Like, Mark Wahlberg's getting thrown all over this space station cave.
He's walking fine afterwards.
Oh, yeah, not a broken rib on him.
Not a single one.
Hey, Tim, you can only do three trampolines at a time.
We're going to have to film the second half of this scene tomorrow because I can't get four trampolines in here.
Bro, I'm getting sick on all these trampolines.
I don't think a human being supposed to bounce up and down like this.
Look, Tim, I don't know if you know how a union works, but these tramps are hard people.
They're going to come after you.
You got, just, you know what?
We're just doing two, two trampolines in this shot.
I know you played a, I know you played a corpse in Hoffa.
You're going to play a corpse in real life, Tim.
These tramps will take you out.
You know, ever heard of the bath?
The bath.
You're going under.
So he locks him in this bulletproof room
and somehow this fucking ape doesn't
shoot himself with this laser blaster.
And everyone says goodbye to him
like separately. Like on the bottom card
is like, you never got to fuck me.
And
Walbrook's like, well, I guess
we're enemies now forever. Goodbye, bro.
And Michael Clark
Duncan's just like, we were never
best friends.
Whatever. They magically decide we're just
going to strike peace because Tim Roth
was mad at an innocent ape.
Yeah, exactly.
It's so unjustified.
The culture of the apes are as such, like, everybody fucking hates humans.
We're shitting on them.
They're our slaves.
And there's been no...
And all that's happened is a war where apes are getting killed and humans are getting killed.
And now they're like, okay, everything's cool.
But it's just the, like...
Even Giovanni gets into the act.
Like, oh, I love humans now.
Well, it's...
Oh, that's so stupid because, like, Mark Wahlberg takes Pericles, like, out of the cage.
He's, like, kind of injured, but he's okay.
And he's like, you can come out now, bro.
and like Giamatti comes out and it's the corneous like war coward like how is it over I was thinking about making my move and I'm like fuck you everybody knows you weren't it's not funny it's not fun but the thing that I was saying was like this is what I hate about this there's a supposedly as the title suggests a whole planet of apes floating around right this one little battle where there's maybe I don't know let's be let's be fair there's one
100 apes on this battlefield, right?
Out of a whole planet of apes, okay?
These 100 apes fight in this battle.
They see Pericles, like, descend from the heavens,
and they're like, wow, this just happened.
We'll make peace with the humans.
Well, don't they all go back to ape town?
And they're like, hey, everybody, this thing happened.
We're all friends with the humans.
Don't you think the rest of the planet's going to be like,
this tiny faction of traitors?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
They're all getting executed.
Every last one of them, like the fucking Lincoln assassins.
They're all going to be publicly hung.
You've got to get David Warner to sign something, at least.
Or the rest of that ape Senate, we just never see.
And if there's an ape Senate, is there an ape president?
Are we hailing to the chimp in this movie or what?
That's what no one says, and that's the question I'm left hanging with.
I imagine it's more of a guerrilla dictator.
A real banana republic, Chris?
Yeah, Steve got the one.
Well, Planet of the Apes has the most expensive khakis.
I was imagining every Planet of the Apes box set you ever got has a small asterisk next to Planet of the Apes.
Like, where does that lead?
And you go under the case and it says, and horses.
Planet of the Apes.
And horses.
Because where are the...
The fuck are the dogs and the birds.
It doesn't make any sense.
Or fish.
Fucking anything.
A hippopotamus.
Fine.
Also, the thing that they changed.
So this is one of the bigger changes they make from the original story is because the space station, one third of DS9.
One third of DS9 crash landed on this planet 3,000 years ago, thus starting the planet of the apes.
So again, how are their fucking horses?
Was it a planet?
horses and then the apes took over because I don't get it there weren't any horses on the
spaceship you're telling me that this planet of apes started because it was populated with the
super smart apes from that space station were there horses on board too were they on the fucking
holodeck hey pericles take this horse embryo with you when you go into the electromagnetic storm
yeah exactly how on this planet the horses had to have been there first second question
how are there like they show like that you know that they they they
The old, like, oh, my God, security footage, it's going wrong.
The guy's like, these apes are too strong and they're killing us.
When did anyone have time to fucking have kids while the apes are taking over to form a human society of
hundreds of people?
There's so many.
It's a Swiss cheese of a movie, man.
There's so many questions left unanswered.
It's ridiculous.
And so, you know, Mark Wahlberg's like, all right, Pericles, you stay here.
I'm going to go back.
I'm going to go back home.
And, like, he has this kind of sort of sweet scene with Helen Abottom Carter, and I said that with weird Tim Burton air quotes, such as anything could be sweet.
Well, I'm the only one in the room that thinks she's more attractive as an ape, so clearly I'm hard during this.
Yeah, obviously.
And, you know, he's like, I'm going to go back to my planet.
She's like, you're not going to stay here.
And he's like, no, I love you, though, when they kiss.
And, but he says he's going back to his planet.
That means he's going to erase this reality entirely, right?
but that's again because there's weird time travel involved
he's just going to do the old
well if I just go back through the hole that I came through
maybe something will happen yeah
but he doesn't know what's going on and that's the other thing
it's like in this movie it's not earth
it's another planet there was just an alien planet
that was populated by super smart apes
and just horses happen to be there
wild horses
so
like he's just going to
going off, like, well, you know what?
I might be back here in a couple minutes if this thing doesn't work out.
Hey, that electromagnetic storm could be long gone by now, bro.
I don't know what's going on up there, but I got to check it out.
Got to get this magic finger and just figure it out.
The Bruins are in the playoffs this year.
I got to get out of here.
Bro, I can't miss the cup.
I got to get back.
We might get the cup.
I might get the cup.
Listen, I love your ape ass, but I got to get back.
And, like, he kisses her.
And then Estella Warren's like, and he's like, oh, shim.
Oh, shit.
Does that make me gay, bro?
and then he goes makes that with a woman like I don't even know what that scene is
they don't say anything to each other they don't and it's just but he really is just like
oh bro I just kissed a monkey oh there's that broad with the big hootas I better go kiss this
or I'm not monkey gay oh shit I'm gay for monkeys you know I did one movie once and it
turned me gay for monkeys she actually though doesn't Estella Warren have some line about
like well maybe you could come back and visit and he's like bro I don't
think you know how time tunnels work i'm gonna erase your whole fucking reality bro bro it's not like
i'm taking a trip up to camden okay i mean fucking i'm getting the fuck out of you did you ever hear
the big good night that's what you're about to enter into so he goes into the fucking time tunnel
and here we are everybody what everybody's excited about is oh my god the twist ending the planet of the apes
quick thing before we get to the twist ending in the plane if it's a spoiler alert i'm going to break
your computer it's no it's so
stupid because when he's going back
through the time tunnel, they have a
fucking time gauge
on the spaceship. And I was
like, it's not a time machine. I was like, why would you have
this fucking Doc Brown Incorporated
device? That's, it's showing the time
like changing the years going by really fast. It would be
a clock and the clock would just break. Like, oh shit, time.
Steve just
shut down emotionally
and physically
Jack Warden pulled the plug on that baseball
robot
in 2029 we're going to build
clocks that can tell when they go through
fucking time tunnels
bro you've ever been on YouTube
he gets to Earth
and like
they're like oh you know you don't have permission to land
you don't have permission to land it's people voices
so you're like oh my God
finally he's on Earth
and he gets to the Lincoln Memorial
and here we go.
Now, here's the thing.
If it was just a monkey,
if it was just among any old monkey.
Any old monkey.
I'd be like, that's fine.
It's just a monkey.
And oh, my God,
he's happened upon another planet of the apes and horses.
You know?
How are the fucking horses there?
I can't stop thinking about it.
And, you know, he's on another planet of the apes.
Whoops.
See you next time, movie.
But it's Tim Roth, and there's this whole plaque about calling it General Thade saved us from such and such, and who's a fuck?
And I think what that's supposed to, I mean, and that's the end of the movie, he gets arrested by a bunch of apes and police uniforms.
So it's like this close to being Theodore Rex with Whoopi Goldberg, first of all.
But like the movie fades, it fucking, dude, it fades out.
We fade to black in a planet of the.
apes movie get out of here and it's just like he's getting arrested he's like put your human
hands in the air you're being ape arrested and you're like wait what what has happened what is going on
right now and it's just credits and that's the end of the movie it's the it's the biggest you're not
going to believe this since the super mario brothers you're not going to believe this because you
don't set it up it's not it was earth all along it's like now it's other earth where they'd went
the time travel first time tunnel.
So Tim Roth found another way to chase him back through the time tunnel and then got to Earth.
I mean, oh man, how were their horses?
I just, it's so, it's all just so stupid.
And like, they blame the critical panning of the movie.
Yeah, as to why they canceled the, they claim the critics really killed the audience buzz for the movie.
It would be the first time
in history that that would be true.
It would be the...
If a critical panning
stopped a fucking franchise
dead in its tracks,
it's never happened.
Transformers, Age of Extinction,
in theaters now.
It's just never happened.
And for them to fucking blame it,
it's such horseshit.
This movie made, like, okay money, I think.
It didn't make great, great.
It was a 10th grossing movie
of 2001. And it cost
$100 million
dollars. The apes
look good. The apes look very good.
Rick Baker always shows up. All the effects are good.
I mean, yet Rick Baker's genius.
The music's great.
Tim Roth's okay. Michael Clark.
Duncan's great. Mark
Wahlberg, speaking of
Transformers' Age of
Extinction, like, is just
the worst choice to carry
this kind of a movie. He's not that guy.
I mean, like, Charlton Heston is so weirdly
ironic in that first movie like when they get to earth and he's just fucking with that
guy like everyone everyone you ever met is dead and he's like dude could you lay off like you know
you're 3,000 years old I get it dude I really traumatized and he's like you fucked up yet
just leave me alone like it's great like he's there's humor he's I mean he's he's a great
actor and a great performance and I mean I think Mark Wahlberg's been good in movies he
certainly has been good in movies like don't get me wrong i think he's an r-rated guy he's most
definitely dude pain and gain like he is an r-rated guy that's i feel an underrated movie
i'd i would go as far to say that might be michael bay's best movie it just might be i would
go almost as far as to say that he's good in that he's great i think the fighter's a great
movie it was my favorite movie of whatever here it came out was 2012 2011 2011 whatever the
Spider-Canter. I love that movie. He's good in things.
He's good in comedies a lot.
The departed. He's fucking great.
Of course. Yeah. You're right.
And it just...
It just doesn't work.
He's not... He's never been a square-jaw-daction hero.
It's never going to be. Because, like, he might look like it.
It just... It takes more than just having that face.
And here's another thing.
And this is, you know, the internet tells me things.
Sure.
You know, but the internet told me...
You read it on BuzzFeed.
Bro, these lists are...
fucking crazy.
Most these quizzes are pretty fucking accurate, bro.
Bro, last night I was up at like 3 a.m. doing Buzzfeed quizzes.
I found out what Disney villain I am.
Bro.
Ursula.
That's fucking dumb.
I mean, out of the entire South Park characters, I kind of thought I was a Kyle all the time.
It's weird.
I know it's weird, but I always thought of myself as a Kyle kind of guy.
So the internet told me that Mark Wahlberg, they wanted to put him.
him in the
loincloth outfit, you know, just like Heston
was in the first flick. And he refused
to do it because he was
worried people would remember
his underwear ads.
Fucking get a
hold of yourself. Did you read
this script, dude? No one's
paying attention. Yeah. Do you
see what everything, like that's the least
of your fucking troubles? And also,
who, what dude is
barren flesh in this movie
all over the place. Chris
Christopherson.
The movie's bravest actor.
Swinging for the trees.
Or swinging through the trees if he's an
ape. Oook, ook.
Would anybody
recommend Planet of the Apes
2001? No.
I mean, I think... No, Andrew.
I mean, I really think
that Rise of the Planet of the Apes
did the right thing. Really
Because it's not a concept that needed to die.
Like, I mean, I think that the first one's a great movie
and is the best movie with the Planet of Apes and Horses franchise.
Wild, wild apes and horses.
And, dude, you better believe this fucking horses being ridden in this next movie.
They know where their bread is but air.
Oh, the horse.
And here's, this is why it makes sense, at least, in these new movies.
and also now that I think about that
in the original
in the original franchise
is because it's Earth.
It was Earth all along
and Earth has fucking horses.
You know where doesn't have horses?
An alien planet
that you fucking made up.
No horses there.
Yeah, I know.
Stupid.
Nothing here.
Chris Cabin.
Yeah, absolutely not.
I forgot how much
I disliked this movie.
It was a real eye opener for me.
I remember walking out of him
and be like, well, that was not good at all.
But like, I don't remember being like,
man that sucked
yeah totally after watching it now
it really fucking sucks
it's a stink fest it's boring
it's way too talky
there's not enough action it's
it's every you did everything wrong
every single choice you could
have made here you made it wrong
and you know
except casting Michael Clark Duncan because he's amazing
and asking Rick Baker to
please do something for me totally
and like those are really your only
pluses they look good and they actually
almost make this movie worth watching
because they do look good and
it all looks great. And the subtlety of
the CGI, you know what I mean? You can kind of see
it on the hell on a bottom sometimes, but you can't
see it anywhere else. Yeah. And I mean
I do agree. I think the smartest thing
Rise of the Planet Apes did, and it is a really
freaking good movie,
is they made the center of the movie, the
ape. Yeah. Yes. That was a very smart
move and like that's what I
wanted from this is that I want ape's society.
If we're going to do it, let's do it. I've already
Got the Heston movies.
Civilization.
And the sequels to, like, get the human perspective on the ape planet.
Right.
I got it.
So do something new.
And, like, they did that, and Dawn looks really freaking good.
Can't wait.
Did we schedule this so that it drops the week that dawn comes out?
This Friday, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, starring Gary Oldman and other people.
Do you think they're going to take this franchise through to where they're, like, looking, walking around, like, people and wearing clothes and shit?
I don't know.
I mean, they, I think they've already,
the third one I think is already okayed.
Well, I'm sure.
Dusk of the Planet of the Apes?
Yeah, I don't know what they're going to do with that, yeah.
But yeah, it would be interesting.
Guys, guys, guys.
Planet of the Apes is on its way.
The longish title, the working title.
Well, maybe like that one, it's like them trying to figure out
some sort of form of ape government.
And you can make it a musical.
So then it's like that movie 1776,
but just with Apes trying to.
figure out democracy.
I just want an ape Congress.
I really wanted a good Congress.
And you could have given it to me, Tim Burton.
You really could have.
I wouldn't recommend it either.
And here's the final thought I want to have.
Because I think, I don't know if we touched on this on the air at the beginning or if we were talking about it off the year before we started.
Is this the worst Tim Burton movie?
It's a draw for me.
It's Plain of the Apes and Alice in Wonderland.
It's a dead draw.
For me, it's Alice in Wonderland.
And because they do the same thing, which they make things that aren't adventure movies, adventure movies.
And Planet of the Apes is almost an adventure movie, but it's definitely not.
It's a science fiction movie, kind of a hard science fiction movie.
And Alice in Wonderland is not an adventure story, everybody.
When there's a war between the who gives a shit and the who gives a shit less, at the end of that movie, I could not believe it.
I know that I liked Dark Shadows and thought it was like okay enough.
I really liked Dark Shadows.
I just don't like, um, what's her face?
I don't like Carrie there as the teenage werewolf.
That's obnoxious.
Yeah, I mean, she's obnoxious, but like, speaking of fight scenes, this fight scene between
Evergreen and Johnny Depp in that is a great fight scene.
That's badass.
That is badass.
And even Franken Ween is good.
I like Franklin Ween quite a bit.
He had, he had a year with those two movies.
That was pretty sweet.
So I guess I'll watch Alice in Wonderland and try to see what I think.
But as far as what I've seen, this is the single worst movie Tim Burton's ever made.
It really, it elevates Charlie in the chocolate factory.
I was going to say, the Charlie, I haven't seen it a long time.
It's bad, but I mean, it's not as bad as Planet of the Ames.
At least it's a Tim Burton movie.
At least it's got Tim Burton things.
It looks and feels like a Tim Burton movie.
We're doing bump, bump, bump, bump, which is what you want, you know.
We have the bump bumps going on.
Yeah.
It's there.
that's Planet of the Apes
2001 directed by Tim Burton
