Episode 236 - Ape X Mecha Ape: New World Order (2024)

About this episode

The episode discusses the mockbuster 'Ape X Mecha Ape: New World Order' and its potential success despite lacking a Godzilla rip-off.

Once more we escape our straight jackets inside the Asylum for another mockbuster, but one that perhaps is our last one for the podcast. Can a sequel without a godzilla rip-off succeed to ape a movie with little Big G in the first place? Can the terrible script make a semblance of sense when read by the overpaid actors? Can Cthulhu by another name end the world and grab our attention? We will see this week as we load up this film on Tubi, for this is 2024's "Ape x Mecha Ape: New World Order"
