Talking Apes wraps up 2024 in a big fun way! Kevin (Proximus Caesar) Durand and Bobby (Cornelius) Porter leave video messages. We tally up the final box office results of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes as well as go over the recent sequel news.     We had to talk about South Carolina's inadvertent live production of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. How many of us cheered when primates escaped from a research facility and were “just being goofy monkeys jumping back and forth playing with each other” (actual quote from CBS News). Like us, did you hope the 43 escaped monkeys were going to take over humanity?    We read more of your comments on the Planet of the Apes TV series and Talking Apes anniversaries. And there is still more to go.     How many saw Rick Baker's classic Apes display set up in his yard for Trick or Treaters on Halloween night? Unfortunately we did not see it live but gathered lots of video and pics as well as the gruesome footage of Rick demolishing the sets the day after. (Be forewarned it is really hard to watch.)   Since we are so proud of our efforts from last year, we'll replay our melodically and on key ‘14 episodes of Planet of the Apes' to the tune of ‘12 Days of Christmas'!

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have observed a male orangutan, Rakus, using plants as medicine—a first-ever recording of a wild animal self-medicating for wound care. This unique behavior was spotted in the jungle, where Rakus chewed the stem and leaves of a plant known for its anti-inflammatory properties and applied it to his injured cheek. The wound, likely caused by a territorial fight, healed within a month.What makes this finding extraordinary is its implications for both orangutans and humans. Dr Isabelle Laumer, the lead researcher and guest on our latest Talking Apes episode, highlights how Rakus' actions could offer insights into the evolutionary roots of self-medication in primates, possibly tracing back to a common ancestor. Her research opens up questions about how much orangutans—and perhaps other great apes—might already know about medicinal plants in their environment.Join us for this special Orangutan Caring Week episode to explore how this discovery reshapes our understanding of primate intelligence, behavior, and our shared evolutionary past.

Generations at Gombe: Elizabeth Lonsdorf on Chimpanzee Mothers, Babies, and the Power of Long-Term StudyIn this episode of Talking Apes we're joined by Elizabeth Lonsdorf whose decades spanning career has been rooted at Gombe, the iconic chimpanzee research site founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. What started as a project to study tool-use in wild chimps has evolved into a lifetime of discovery. Elizabeth, now co-director of the Gombe Mother-Infant Project, explores the most intimate relationships in chimpanzee society: mothers and their babies.How does a chimpanzee's early life adversity—such as losing its mother—affect its behavior as an adult? How do maternal behaviors pass through generations, and what can this teach us about the evolution of childhood in both chimpanzees and humans? Elizabeth shares how her team tracks these remarkable apes from nest to nest, gathering fecal samples (yes, chimp poop is gold!) and data on everything from social bonds to stress hormones.Elizabeth discusses how chimps are not just “chimps.” Every community has its own culture, behaviors, and unique challenges. Tune in to find out how the Gombe research team is now following the fifth generation of chimps and why there are still so many mysteries left to uncover in the lives of our closest animal relatives.You won't want to miss this deep dive into the generational stories of Gombe chimps.Click here to visit Elizabeth's websiteSend us a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

Amidst the harsh terrain and frequent fires of Senegal's savanna landscape lives a community of remarkable chimps. What makes them different from their forest-dwelling kin? And what can they reveal about human evolution?  Join us on World Chimpanzee Day for a journey into the heart of the savanna to explore the world of chimps with Dr Jill Pruetz. Following her pioneering research in Senegal's savanna habitat, Jill reveals her incredible discoveries about the behavior of our closest relatives, offering insights into the lives of our early hominin ancestors. 'I hadn't anticipated fire as a part of their environment, and it's a major part of their environment.'At Fongoli, Jill has encountered a fascinating array of behaviors that defy conventional wisdom about chimpanzees. From navigating wildfires and soaking in water for thermoregulation, to the systematic use of tools for hunting bush babies, the savanna chimps exhibit behaviors unlike any seen before.‘There were chimps hanging out in this cave!'One of the most striking discoveries was the remarkable imbalance between male and female hunting capabilities. Contrary to the norm observed in other chimp populations, females at Fongoli were the primary hunters, wielding tools with precision to secure prey. This unique cultural phenomenon challenges traditional views of chimp behavior and demonstrates the complexity of social dynamics across different chimpanzee communities.Tune in to learn more now, on Talking Apes Podcast. To support The Fingoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project:https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/fongoli-savanna-chimpanzee-project/ Send us a Text Message.Support the Show.Talking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

This is a discussion with Eddie Munster himself - Butch Patrick! Richard grew up watching Butch Patrick in just about everything from Shazam (1974), Lidsville (1971-72), The Phantom Tollbooth (1970), The Munsters (1964-66), and The Monkees 1967 Christmas episode. In that episode Butch plays Melvin Vandersnoot, a child of 10 going on 65 with no Christmas spirit. Of course, The Monkees change that by the end, and it's a heartwarming tale that Richard and Sarah watch every year on Christmas day. Butch Patrick shares behind-the-scenes stories of working as a child actor in all of these nostalgic series and films.

If you love theme parks, then you are going to love this episode! Courtney & Kelly Turckel (Neverland Clubhouse) join us to compare and contrast Disneyland Resort to Universal Studios Hollywood - ranking them in terms of price, experience, attractions, food, theming and more.    Richard and Sarah conceived of this episode back in December, when our top-level Disneyland Magic Keys blocked us out of that theme park over the Christmas holiday. So we did some research and bought the top-level Platinum Annual Passes to Universal Studios Hollywood and had an amazing time! Universal has really stepped it up with the addition of Wizarding World and Super Nintendo World, so we thought this was a great time to compare the two theme parks. Courtney & Kelly have had annual passes to both Universal and Disneyland for over 5 years now, so they are experts.    We share our opinions here, but we would love to hear yours!

YouTube version: https://youtu.be/TSAdvCZ2mgw Law Professor B.J. Priester (FanGirl Blog) joins us to share the ins and outs of public domain and trademarks, especially as it applies to beloved characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse. It has been 95 years since the introduction of Disney's iconic mice and Tigger, which means anyone can use these characters without Disney's consent. However, it's a bit more complicated, and so much more interesting, than that, so BJ helps to break it all down, as only a lawyer can!    This weekend was the runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon at Disneyland! The FIRST one in SEVEN years! Sarah ran the Disneyland 10k and has stories, thoughts and pictures to share.

Happy Holidays to all the cheerful chimps, festive gorillas, jolly orangutans, and you damn dirty humanoids. We are so excited about this all-new power-packed episode. First, we have a treat for you! Do you ever forget what the exact Planet of the Apes TV episodes were about and where they fall in order?    We came up with an ape-themed rendition of “The 12 days of Christmas” but summarizing the series episodes. But wait, aren't there 14 episodes? You are so right so we made an extended version. (Caution: Richard and Kevin are not singers so listen with caution.) To make it all the much better, we asked Dr. Zaius to step in. Let us know if this rendition helps you remember.    Also on this Holiday Special, we continue our colorful commentary of Marvel's ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET OF THE APES adaptation series (1975-1976). Here, we will break down the fifth of six issues, titled - INTO THE FORBIDDEN ZONE! Thank you to those who sent in holiday greetings! Now get ready for 2024, the year we go APe-ril!   Contact Us   Email: Apestv@SkywalkingThroughNeverland.com   Tweet: @Skywalkingpod   Facebook: Talking Apes TV   Subscribe on iTunes | Stitcher | YouTube

Who animated the iconic BOBA FETT in THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL? John Celestri! John joins us in a fascinating discussion on the inception and animation of “The Faithful Wookiee” animated short from The Star Wars Holiday Special. Since he was the senior animator at Nelvana Studios, John had his pick of characters from the special, so he took on Boba Fett, of course. Our discussion includes answers to burning questions: Exactly which Moebius designs propelled the look of “The Faithful Wookiee”? How does one animate a helmeted character with no eyes or mouth? Why do all the characters, including Han, Leia, and Luke, only have 4 fingers on each hand?    John Celestri just released a fascinating book with the animation script and character model sheets.
