PREVIEW - Conquest of the Planet of the Apes with Hammer and Camera Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

Phil and Taylor from the Hammer and Camera podcast join me to discuss one of the most interesting films in the Apes franchise: Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. A slave class of apes stage a revolt against their human oppressors - a mirror of the state oppression experienced against Black Americans in the late 1960s and early 1970s that the filmmakers drew inspiration from.
