...and that completes my final report until we reach touchdown

Lady Luck smiles upon Zac and Biggs as they draw the 1968 classic science-fiction flick:  The Planet of the Apes.  Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who travels forward in time to see what becomes of the human race.  To his shock the spaceship crash lands on a planet where apes have supplanted humans at the top of the evolutionary ladder.  The film explores issues of race, religion, and the human condition in addition to having apes riding horses while netting people or stabbing them with tridents.  The film ends in an iconic spine-tingling scene that won't be forgotten in cinematic history.  Zac and Biggs also spend a few minutes discussing all the sequels and reboots to this amazing movie.
