Rise of the Planet of the Apes (with Derek Buckley)

After nearly a decade in the post-Burton doldrums, the POTA franchise was ready for a revival, and it came in the form of an unassuming tale about a scientist. a chimp, and a certain experimental virus. And thus a new Ape-och rises! Jack and Geoff are joined by Derek Buckley for a look at the film’s exploration of classic POTA themes, the new territory it carves out for itself, and the creation of a new ape protagonist for the ages!
