Is Rise of the Planet of the Apes really as good as critics and audiences are saying or should the Apes franchise have been “damned to hell”?

Riding great reviews and it’s classic name brand, Rise of the Planet of the Apes easily dominated the weekend box office.

With the seventh entry in the Planet of the Apes franchise out in theaters this weekend, we take a look back at the other movies in the series, from the classic original to the Tim Burton re-imagining.

This week it’s just Zach and Chris for another of their tangent filled, 2 hour, podcasts. The guys talk about horrible anime interpretations of Marvel characters, the most ridiculous trailer of 2011 (Battleship), Sean Connery and Hitchcock and the history of the Planet of the Apes franchise, just in time for Rise of the Planet of the Apes tomorrow.

The latest entry in the Planet of the Apes franchise is a prequel that will show how those “damn, dirty apes” took over the planet.
