God told you to get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!
Hipster & The Nerd brings you the sixteenth installment of Rocketship Roulette with a discussion of God Told Me To and the original Planet of the Apes. Join Chris and Brian as they dive into the religious allegory, unfolding mystery, and police procedural structure that make God Told Me To such a unique entity of 70s horror. Then stick around as they explore the science vs. religion conceits, compelling characters, groundbreaking special effects, and brilliant twists that make the original Planet of the Apes an all-time great. So sit back, relax, and give it a listen!
Note: The prior description was written before Callie Hanna's public coming out as a transgender woman and thus refers to her by her dead name. Though this is no longer in line with her gender identity, the description has been left as is for the purposes of historical preservation.
