Episode 3: The OG Planet of the Apes + What is a Garuda?

This week Richard and James follow the Monkey King's rise to earthly power--and beyond! Having overcome the Monstrous King of Havoc, ol' Sun Wukong begins causing some havoc of his own.   Realizing that the growing might of his primate forces are bound to attract attention from predators, Wukong knows he needs weapons faster than his opposable thumb-challenged compatriots can learn to make them.   What's a monkey monarch to do? Will the newly-immortalized Monkey King ask nicely, or will the book's hero become a villain--just as the Patriarch predicted? The answer to this, how Sun Wukong gets his magic rod and more!   Keep an eye on your valuables and an ear on this podcast, because this week's going to be a Simian shakedown!
