Episode 254: War for the Planet of the Apes

In our penultimate episode of 2021 -- and of our series #whatsavesus -- we venture to the outskirts of a not-too-distant future for the concluding chapter of an epic sci-fi/fantasy trilogy: WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES. While this franchise has its cinematic roots extending all the way back to the 1960s, this modern trilogy of prequels tells a richly drawn and emotionally complex story that dares to ask questions about what makes us human, and positions the central conflict as a war not for dominance or power, but about the character of the soul. Including a brief discussion about the previous two installments (RISE and DAWN), this discussion around WAR is one we think you won't want to miss and that, as always, we hope you enjoy.
