Friend of the show and the intelligence behind Clattertron and Foxes & Boxes, Daniel J. Hogan suggested this week’s film. Surely he’s chose it out of some sort of patriotism because it stars the commander in chief, Ronald Reagan. Oh, it also stars a chimpanzee. Pet Sounds Radio host Sarah Hoyles kindly joined us as well. We didn’t learn until the day of the show that she rarely watches films with animals! It was a pleasure to see things from her perspective. We hope you’ll listen to learn more.

• Don’t worry if you’re falling from an 8 story building, the Browder Life Safety Net will certainly break you in much more interesting way than the ground.
• Sarah reminds us of The Bear. Sorry for the spoilers, but it is 30 years old.
• Let’s not hurt animals in film Leonardo DiCaprio.
• Who is the moustached character in the photo? Is it Rappin’ Ronnie?
• Our show is not brought to you by 23andMe. Instead, we’re funded by listeners like yourself. And our moms.
• Chris thinks this film is a precursor to Three’s Company.
• Meanwhile, Dan points out that it may actually be the predecessor to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
• Bonzo is to be sold! What? Can’t we make money in the Iran-Contra affair instead?
• Chris steals a joke from Noises Off and it gets awkward.
• Dan reminds us, as does the film, to study our Freud.
• There’s a sequel? Oh no, Bonzo Goes to College.
• Bonzo was played by Peggy the chimpanzee. There’s a nice page here on this beautiful creature.
• Dan shares this wisdom from actor Dick Miller, if a chimp gets aggressive, bite him. He heard this story on another podcast, but their archives are behind a paywall.
• Tippi Hedren, the mom of Melanie Griffith, founded The Roar Foundation to provide sanctuary for mistreated exotic animals, educate the public and advocate for legislation.
• The insane trailer for Tippi Hedren’s film Roar. As it states, no animals were harmed in making the film but 70 of the cast and crew were.
• The 80s film that was far more than teenage angst, Project X, with Matthew Broderick and Helen Hunt.
• Movies from the past are an insight to the culture of their time. Eww, that Elivs film we watched.
• Can’t stop, won’t stop watching Leave It to Beaver.
• Dan suggests a few podcasts, Star Wars Minute, The Dollop, and The Adventure Zone.
• Congrats to our guest Sarah for joining the Entertainment One podcast network!
