🚨Warning: psychic mutants ahead! The Mirror Movie Universe brothers are back in the time-traveling director’s chair — this time landing in 1970 to fix the wild, weird, and surprisingly dark sequel: Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
In this episode, we recap the insane plot, salute the bold choices, and ask:
Why kill off Taylor so early?
Were the underground mutants too much... or not enough?
Did the ending really have to go nuclear?
With love and laughter, we break down what works (hello, mind-control mutants!) and what definitely doesn’t (we’re looking at you, rushed rewrites and studio interference). Then we offer our alternate version of the movie — the one we would’ve made if Hollywood had called us back in 1970.
