Episode 1 covers CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972), inspired by a beautiful, moving, and mind-bendingly awesome “You-Are-There!” photograph of five-year-old Ben and his grandmother across the street from the Embassy theater in Times Square, CONQUEST’s logo in full blaze behind them, accompanied by quite the head-scratching Judith Crist review quote—“It’s all fine fun!”
That also sums up our mission with 70 MOVIES—to be like CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES and present a cavalcade of abandon, grotesquery, lunacy, and savagely learned life-lessons so that you, our listening public, might come away and declare, “It’s all fine fun!”
