S2E287 - The War of The Worlds (2005) and Survival (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)

Episode Notes Now that we have YET ANOTHER Planet of the Apes movie coming out, did we pick one of those 19 movies? Of course not. Dave uses this as an excuse to watch a Spielberg movie that he had trouble with the first time around, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. He welcomes guest Ben Miller of the Target Audience Podcast and he has...feelings. Listen as we discuss his podcast and his violent lack of caring about Apes. Then, Dave talks about the psychology of survival in the brain and tries desperately to figure out how Tom Cruise keeps getting so luckily....besides being a really good runner. Ben returns to talk WAR OF THE WORLDS. He and Dave talk about what works (peanut butter sandwiches, invasion imagery) and what doesn't (Tom Cruise as a longshoreman and that damn annoying son of his). Take a listen here!
