So last night Nick and I watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. You can expect his full review on Monday, but I can’t wait, I just have to tell you guys about [———–REDACTED———–]. I know that fans of the surprisingly good first will also want to know that [———–REDACTED———–] and especially when [———–REDACTED———–].
