138: Survival of the Fittest

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a success but unlike so many franchise films out there, the studio did not rush to get the sequel out right away, instead waited till three years later to release the next installment in the Apes "reboot". In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Apeologist Brandon-Shea Mutala to talk about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. We discuss 10 years later, fear of what we don't understand, who to blame, we're not that different, choosing sides, the cast, music, effects and our ratings.
