Submit ReviewWe’re back! After another looooong hiatus, Talking Apes returns with a super episode! Richard Woloski and Kevin Toft look ahead to what’s coming up in Apes fandom. In April we get the new Marvel comic series, the first since 1975. Then in 2024 we can look forward to the next film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! We go over the recent casting news and speculate on what writers, Rick Jaffa and Amanada Silver, said in recent interviews.
Also, we finish up the series where we break down the unproduced Planet of the Apes TV series scripts and synopses. There were eight unproduced stories, four of which are in script form where in past episodes we did readings with a full cast. Now, we review the last four story synopses. These include “The Trek”, “Freedom Road”, “The Mine”, and “The Trial”. What is your opinion of these stories? And which Ape TV-Verse do you prefer: these unproduced stories or the plots the CBS shows gave us?
You can find the synopses here.
The scripts can be found here.
Now, GO APE!

About Talking Apes Podcast
Richard Woloski and Mark Oguschewitz take a look at the unsung PLANET OF THE APES TV series from 1974. The first several episodes of TALKING APES TV will delve into one episode of the PLANET OF THE APES TV Series, with plenty of quotes, audio and social commentary pulled from each show.
Then TALKING APES TV turned into TALKING APES, and Richard Woloski is joined by new cohost Kevin Toft on a journey through interviews and more ... Talking Apes!
Hello to all you Chimps, gorillas, orangutans, Underdwellers, and you Mego Collectors! The ape fan community went crazy with the recent news that Mego will start releasing new Planet of the Apes figures starting in April with Dr. Zaius and Cornelious.
We spoke with Paul ‘Mr. Mego’ Clarke of EMCE Toys who gives us insight as to what is coming up with the new Mego Planet of the Apes line (even some hints toward future releases). We talk about Paul’s career in the toy industry, our favorite figures growing up, and the psychological effect of collecting Mego. You will hear Richard have an actual breakthrough! They don’t call Paul Dr. Mego for nothing!
Richard and Kevin also fantasize about the Ape figures, and other pop culture icons, they would love to see in their collection in the future. They also run down the list of the figures that are coming out in wave 12 such as The Rocketeer, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Stan Lee Web Hand Edition, Igor from Young Frankenstein Igor, the Star Trek Salt Vampire, and more!
Make Mine Mego.. and Go Ape!

Kevin asked one of these friends to be a guest on this episode.

Hello to all you Chimps, gorillas, orangutans, Underdwellers, and even you damn dirty Humanoids! In this episode of Talking Apes, Richard is joined by Max Cervantes and Kevin Toft of The Max EFX podcast. Talking Apes continues the series of episodes where they break down and give commentary on unproduced live-action Planet of the Apes TV scripts.
In the last episodes, Richard and Mark Oguschewitz reviewed two of Rod Serling’s unproduced scripts, ‘Episode I’ and ‘Episode II.’ Now Richard, Max and Kevin cover the third unproduced script, ‘A Fallen God’, written by Anthony Lawrence who co-wrote the Apes TV episode, 'The Deception.’
‘A Fallen God,’ script - March 2, 1973 (Three months before the release of ‘Battle for the Planet of the Apes’)
‘A Fallen God’ Story Overview
Galen inadvertently sells Alan and Kovack to a local farmer after he is put on the spot as to who they were. On the farm, Alan and Kovack sees the patriarch, Telemon, and his family worshipping an object which turns out to be a radio transmitter. Alan and Kovack must find a way to get to it since that might be a way to communicate to other humans. But, a human-fearing busy-body preacher named Syrinx is catching wind of these smart humans and must put an end to these destructive animals who will once again destroy the planet.

This episode of Talking Apes is dedicated to the bright center of the Apes fan community, Angela Rushmere, who has passed away. We, along with the many Ape fans, had numerous heartfelt comments that will be read on the show.
Then in this episode we will be breaking down the 2nd unproduced Rod Serling script for the live-action Planet of the Apes TV series, Titled Episode 2. If you thought we argued last time, this will take us to UrkoTastic levels!
STORY SUMMARY:
Ursus and his Security Force, which includes his 15 year old son, Zonda, head out to search for Alan, Kovack and Galen and before long they find them.
The renegades take off and in the heat of the chase, Alan knocks Zonda unconscious. Suddenly Alan, Kovack and Galen are aided by unseen assailants and the ape soldiers are forced to retreat.
These new “friends,” who are well cultured and live underground, are curious about Alan and Kovack who have befriended an animal, Galen. They want Galen, and Zonda who was brought with them, put to death until Alan demands they are put on trial to prove they are not as barbaric as the apes.
Also with this episode, Mark says his farewell due to a heavy workload and career opportunities. Since Mark is a HUGE Muppet fan we have a special segment where we find Planet of the Apes and Muppet crossovers. You probably didn’t think there were any, huh?
And Dr. Zaius has been putting in his two cents about the global pandemic as seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live! And Dana Gould’s YouTube channel. (Not sure why he chose Dana Gould?) We also learn what delicious snacks Zaius enjoys.
Please follow along with us. You can find the remaining three scripts at:
