Summary
Amy talks, slurps martinis, and just wants to go home. Oh, she's also a gorilla. A movie from the team behind Jurassic Park (well, except for that Steven guy) that begs us to consider who would win: a hundred gorillas or Laura Linney with a laser gun? Don't let Amy drink alone as we discuss outrageous accents, questionable plot devices, and the very niche subgenre of ape movies - the racially repugnant ones of the 1930s/40s and the curiously kooky ones from the 90s. We're not monkeying around with this one! Peter Lorre even gets into the swing of things, reviewing The Ape Man (1943) with Bela Lugosi! Thanks for all the support friends.
