"Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes" May 09, 2020

Show notes

For this week's main podcast review, I am once again joined by Josh Parham & Dan Bayer and together we are completing the "Planet Of The Apes" reboot trilogy with this 2014 installment (which also fits nicely into our 2014 retrospective) "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes." Once again starring Andy Serkis, Toby Kebbell (who receives a much more substantial role as the film's memorable antagonist) and being joined this time by a human cast comprising of Jason Clarke, Keri Russell and Gary Oldman, this is a sequel which truly expands on the first film in all of the best ways. Listen to our review and hear our thoughts on how we think this film has held up over the years and how it fits in with the rest of the trilogy.

Show notes

For this week's main podcast review, I am once again joined by Josh Parham & Dan Bayer but this time we are talking about a television movie! "Bad Education" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and was acquired by HBO where it will now be competing for the Emmys instead of the Oscars as a television movie. Directed by Cory Finley ("Thoroughbreds") and starring Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney in excellent roles, the film depicts the true life story of the Long Island public school embezzlement scandal from 2002. Tune in to hear our thoughts, how we think the film will do at the Emmys and more! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
