Suppose they gave a War for the Planet of the Apes and nobody came? These are the questions we're asking ourselves on this week's episode of The B-Movies Podcast, where film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold try to figure out why everyone's calling War for the Planet of the Apes a masterpiece when it's probably the least interesting film in the whole 50-year franchise. Oh yes, we're going there. Strap in.
Also on this week's episode, Bibbs and Witney eulogize the late, great George A. Romero and Martin Landau, and review the new releases Lady Macbeth, Wish Upon and Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which is just unbelievably freakin' awful, folks. Like... WOW.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
