Oily Homer learns History... Or something..

Oily Homer watches the History channel now and then, both for education and entertainment, and sometimes they overlap a bit. There's a show call Reel to Real where they feature movies such as The Longest Day, Tora, Tora, Tora, etc. Movies with an historical basis. Then usually after the movie they have a discussion with people from the actual event.

"And now, we'll talk with a survivor of the USS Arizona... "

But now Oily Homer is confused. I just watched Planet of the Apes on Reel to Real. On the History Channel. What sort of interview are they going to have after that?

"Please welcome to our studio, Jimbo, one of the original Gorillas. I understand you have some misgivings with the film we just saw." "I sure do Stan. To say the gorillas in this movie are a stereotype would be a complete understatement..."

And I just saw a promo that Star Wars is coming soon. Did someone change the definition of history and Oily Homer missed a memo?
