We Time-Traveled to 1970 to Fix Beneath the Planet of the Apes — Here's What Went Wrong

🚨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.
