John these are great. I always loved any reference parody or not ever since I first experienced all things Planet Of The Apes as a boy in the ‘70s. I also enjoyed the continuous Planet Of The Apes parody with the host BoBo on the last seasons of MST3K Mystery Science Theater 3000.

All my best,
John
