Honestly, these Power Records adaptations of the Planet of the Apes movies are awful. Horrible, lifeless, and poorly acted, even. And the twist ending of the first one lacks the power of its movie counterpart. But there's a certain retro charm about them. Sort of.

The Commonwealth Crew regrets that this installment of Dread Reel-ief features discussion of 1999's Virus. Not that the conversation is bad. The film is. Regrettably bad. Sorry.
