We Watched All 10 PLANET OF THE APES Movies.

Beneath the War of the Kingdom for the Dawn of the Battle of the Escape from the Planet of the Apes.

KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is EPIC.

Ewan and Lachlan share their thoughts on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, talk about reboots, spin-off and sequels to Blade Runner, The Office, Lord of the Rings, Superman and Robin Hood. Ewan binged through all 10 Planet of the Apes films, a range of disappointing 2024 releases like Arcadian, Unfrosted, Humane, Garfield, Prom Dates & Founders Day. He liked Turtles All the Way Down though. Lachlan watched Late Night With the Devil and struggles his way through a temporary set up this week.

CHALLENGERS is a Hot Mess.

Ewan and Lachlan catch up with the trailers for Deadpool & Wolverine and Mufasa: The Lion King. Lachlan watched Mulholland Drive, Call Me By Your Name, and the disappointing Boy Kills World. Ewan caught up with Abigail, The Idea of You, Arthur the King, and more, diving deeper into his Cannes preparation with Open Range, and Fish Tank among others. Finally, they review the steaming-hot and much anticipated new film from Luca Guadagnino; Challengers.

THE FALL GUY is Fun as F**k!

Ewan and Lachlan share their thoughts on David Leitch's The Fall Guy starring generational movie star Ryan Gosling and fake Dune director Emily Blunt. They both watched a bunch of Alex Garland films for an upcoming director bracket, and Lachlan even made himself sit through Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver. It was painful... Ewan watched the original Mad Max trilogy, The Nice Guys, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Lachlan shows off his pricey 4K steelbook purchases and argues why 28 Years Later should still be filmed in the bad video quality of the first one.
