Hey, welcome to the Weekly Reel. The place we tell you about the movies you’ll hopefully pay to see, but you’ll probably stream for free. <br /><br />This week we’re monkeying around with War For the Planet of the Apes. <br /><br />And needing a shower after the gritty trailer for HBO’s The Deuce. <br /><br />[PlanetApes]<br /><br />[SOT: Have you come to save your apes?<br />I came for you.<br />FX]<br /><br />Yeah. Looks like Caeser and his posse of primates are going ape shit in the new War for the Planet of the Apes… the 9th installment of the franchise.<br /><br />And as you can see – they ain’t pulling any punches.<br /><br />[SOT: FX]<br /><br />The film is set in the world where Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by that ruthless war lord Woody.<br /><br />And damn… they don’t monkey around.<br /><br />Probably because the battle will determine the fate of their species and the future of earth. <br /><br />So cue the gun fights… [SOT: Fx]<br />The explosions… [SOT: Fx]<br />Long walks in the jungles and on the beach…<br /><br />And get ready to Hail Caesar.<br /><br />[SOT: You’re him. You’re Caesar.]<br /><br />Take our advice: Watch it and go bananas. <br /> <br />[Dueces] <br /><br />James Franco is doubling down on the gritty, grimy days of New York City that old timers reminisce about. <br /><br />The sweet early 70’s, when Times Square was full of prostitutes, dirty cops, drugs and crime. <br /><br />When the mob ruled the courts, pimps ruled the night, and there wasn’t a Bubba Gumps or TGI Fridays in sight. <br /><br />Seriously, they were still building the World Trade Center for Big Apple’s sake. <br /><br />HBO’s The Deuce might be fall’s number one new premium show… <br /><br />So buy a ticket, kick up your feet and enjoy your overpriced popcorn. We’ll see you next week at the box office.<br />
