Ep 258 - Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and The Murder of Rachel Burkheimer

Send us Fan Mail Episode 258 of Nerdery & Murdery is live. On the Nerdery side, Zig continues his journey through the Planet of the Apes franchise, picking up where he left off in Episode 243 with Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. As the series shifts tone and leans deeper into social commentary, we explore how these films reshape the mythology and push the story toward a darker future. On the Murdery side, we step away from our A–Z Across America series for a case that was simply impossible to ignore. In September 2002, an 18-year-old girl got into a car with people she knew. She never came home. What followed was a chilling group crime fueled by suspicion, loyalty, and a decision that would change multiple lives forever. A franchise evolving into something darker on one side. A case of betrayal and silence on the other. Just another week of the Nerd and the Murd. Support the show
