Franchise Detours Episode 46: ‘Planet of the Apes’ (1968) (feat. Thomas Greene of Perpetual Cinema)

We finally really did it. After spending the past several episodes with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Franchise Detours sticks to the world of anthropomorphic animals and prosthetic make-up for its longest mega-series yet: Planet of the Apes.

On this episode, Thomas Greene of Perpetual Cinema joins the show to discuss the 1968 film that started it all. We’ll discuss how the movie marks a turning point for science fiction, its iconic twist ending, and how it ultimately emerged into an unlikely franchise.
