Ape Mania

It's that time of year again. Settle in around the fireplace with some banana flavored egg nogg for the Ape Mania Chimpsmas Special. John Sara is there to teach us the true meaning of Christmas - worms. And Parasites. How come The Grinch doesn't wear pants? Some special friends call in for some holiday season advice. And is that the sound of harmonica on the roof I hear? It can only be jolly old Saint Nick himself. PLUS THE LONG AWAITED RETURN OF GORILLA BE KILLED!

Jacob goes to Noah Holland's place all the way over in Melbourne to watch YouTube video essays with the sound turned off. Did China really upload a monkey's brain into a supercomputer? Have the CDC really stopped experimenting on monkeys? Have the Three Stooges gone woke?!

Our favorite burlesque weirdo Monty Mishap joins us to discuss all things Gerard Way, up to and including 9/11. What is demonic ape theory? A truck full of monkeys upturning on the highway becomes an origin story for one renegade monkey? What is the etymology of the word glizzy? What is the sexiest bug? Raccoon City wins an award? What the?!Catch Monty Mishap in Buglesque here - Buglesque! A Burlesque Show About Bugs

Jacob has four beers at lunch and tries to pay tribute to primatologist Jane Goodall, inventor of the chimpanzee, joined by fellow host Dylan Cooper and special guest Bill Egan. What happened to her finger? Was she a Zionist? Also a full history of the Gary Larson Incident.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF APE MANIA! We are going to be pumping out episodes fortnightly from this point onwards. In the meantime, pleas enjoy this re-post of a classic episode featuring Leela Varghese, director of Lesbian Space Princess, in cinemas now!

Special guest comedian/filmmaker/veteran Stephen Lockwood drops by the pod to discuss his upcoming road trip around Australia and the accompanying documentary 'The Last Post.' Really big topics in this one. Finding your purpose in life, giving back to society, stepping out of your comfort zone to pursue something new. We also talk about chimps watching reels. Isn't that crazy? Mighty Joe Young comes up in conversation too. Apparently that's about an Ape? Who knew.

Nona Mona returns to the podcast to help investigate the mystery of chimps loving the movie Shrek. What does this have to do with gooning? Or beheading VHS tapes? Heaps actually.

Enjoy a relaxing Saturday morning drive across beautiful beachside Adelaide with your favorite Ape Mania hosts in the very first podcast of its kind. Dylan Cooper returns. Jacob is hungover and gets carsick. Levi gets cut-off in traffic. All this and more as the gang hunt for the elusive Rock Ape.Brought to you by M and M Property Solutions.
