Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Doctor Who – Season One and Infested – Reviews

When it comes to a planet dominated by apes, this week Miranda, Clayton and Sam unanimously concur: this film skillfully immerses you in its well-constructed world. During the lively discussion a very interesting theme emerges around the question: Are we inherently biased toward the human saga, neglecting the perspective of our simian counterparts? Clayton scrutinises the film’s length, and the team contemplate why the apes repeat the same pitfalls experienced throughout human history. Will this film be better than expected? Listen in to find out.

Alright, Whovians, brace yourselves as we embark on a turbulent voyage through time and space. Hang on to your TARDIS, set your sonic screwdrivers to ‘thrill,’ and prepare for a whirlwind discussion that delves into the Doctor’s past traumas. Get ready for a mix bag, and we don’t mean Jelly Babies. During the banter, we can’t overlook the biggest question is Doctor Who veering dangerously close to its roots as a children’s show?

For those with a fear of eight-legged creatures, consider yourselves forewarned. The next segment, “Infested,” delves into the realm of arachnids, building tension as Clayton and Miranda ponder the authenticity of the spider-filled horrors presented. Do spiders truly inject their eggs into humans, or is it merely an urban legend? And does this French horror flick have the legs to stand on its own? Find out in this week’s reviews.

Have fun or run screaming if you don’t like spiders.
