At long last, our apeathon reaches its end with War for the Planet of the Apes, the 2017 conclusion to the most recent reboot trilogy. But first...the Blue Plate Special has us loading up on some recent trailers for forthcoming releases (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spencer, and The Many Saints of Newark), followed by a discussion of the 1958 film noir classic Touch of Evil. Upon finally reaching the end of the franchise which- you guessed it- once asked us to go ape, we take one last look at what these most recent films added to the series as a whole and what the very existence of these nine entries on a larger level suggest about the sustainability of Hollywood's blockbuster franchise aesthetic.
