This week, Nigel and Tazziii delve into the war between humans and simians for a deep dive into Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (starting at 26:46), with The Popcorn Podcast Host Dylan. We discuss the legacy of this franchise and the value of another instalment after a strong initial reboot trilogy. With some impressive motion capture and CGI showcasing this thoughtful narrative, we examine the franchise's new protagonist who is leading the way. We get into a serious debate about the meaning of Noa’s revenge mission and what we learned by its end.
