We begin this deep dive by analysing the recent American Music Awards hosted by Jennifer Lopez, aka J'Lo. There's the sniff of MAGA about the entire show plus the obsession for famous women of a certain age, like J'Lo, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani & Janet Jackson, to not actually age. There's a side quest into Lindsay Lohan's restorative juicing routine, plus all the other AMA “moments” worth reflecting. The ageless divas obsession also brings up how much women are expected to do, with a side quest into the Human Rights lawyer who recently ran and won an ultramarathon, whilst breast feeding her 6 month old baby along the route, because of course she did. Then it's onto the problematic history of Dolce and Gabbana before we ‘Okay, Stop!' the new D&G fragrance commercial with Theo James. Then Em gives us her one page TED talk on why it's okay to be ogling Theo James. In our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em hilariously details how she shot her own nude photo shoot alone in her office after hours to launch her new book cover.

Who's ready for another round? Having now seen The Witcher's second animated movie, we thought it would be fun to revisit its first one, 2021's Nightmare of the Wolf—and we brought new viewer Producer Sean along for the ride! How does this Vesemir-starring prequel hold up four years and two show seasons later? Does it still feel like The Witcher now that we've gotten a better feel for the franchise? And what's up with Geralt's hair? (Sadly, we don't yet have an answer for that last one.) Plus, to accompany this second viewing, Sean's made an all-new whiskey pairing…with a twist. Clean W by CleanCo is the first non-alcoholic whiskey we've sampled on the podcast, though if you think going the zero-proof route means we're any less unhinged, think again.

Stephen King's THE SKELETON CREW from 1985 was a highly regarded collection of short stories and one novella that he collected together as a major release. The book has had a few of the stories made into film. One of them, THE MONKEY (2025), was just released to theaters only a week or two ago as this is written. After THE MIST, it is possibly the most famous of the tales in the book as the original hardcover had a picture of the drumming monkey toy that the story and movie is about.From IMDB: When twin brothers Bill and Hal find their father's old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths start. The siblings decide to throw the toy away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.The film is directed and written by the highly prolific Osgood Perkins. The film stars Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, and Colin O'Brien. Receiving positive reviews, the movie has gone on to make back its $10M USD budget and more. Your cohosts take a look at the movie and give their thoughts.

Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION: Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss The Monkey, one of the first horror hits of the year, and possibly the first of two new Osgood Perkins films in 2025! For a movie whose tagline is "Everybody dies. And that's F#$*ed up.", is it cynical? Or, is a little heart tossed in with this horror comedy? Also, and perhaps most importantly... is it funny? Tune in to find out!Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 28-minutes discussing Longlegs, Osgood Perkins' 2024 satanic-panic horror-thriller cop drama, and ponder how it stands with his other films, if it exceeded the hype, and how Melvin compares it to The Blackcoat's Daughter, one of his favorite movies. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)It's premise is simple, and it's idea is absurd, lending itself to an easily digest horror/comedy.Everything in the film is in service of jokes.The industry is timid around horror/comedy films, but a film with a reasonable budget offers a lot of opportunity.This is Osgood Perkins' first movie with a male-led cast, and the two explore his representation of gender across his filmography.Chuckling over silly deaths.Amidst all the comedy, Osgood Perkins' still makes sure to add a level of heart the film needs to give it decent pacing, both in its metatext as he processes grief and literally as the film showcases a throughline regarding generational trauma.Talking about the ending, and how you can read into the drama if you want.Recommendations:The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (2010) (Book)@Niall.Breen.Comics (Instagram) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-31:30SPOILER TALK: 31:30-1:10:07In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a hard look at The Monkey (2025), the latest Stephen King adaptation directed by Osgood Perkins and produced by James Wan. With a stacked cast—including Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, and Elijah Wood—this horror-comedy attempts to bring King's chilling short story to life. But does it succeed, or does the cymbal-banging terror lose its rhythm?We break down the film's tonal shifts, its blend of horror and comedy, and whether the changes from King's original story enhance or dilute the scares. While Perkins leans into a darkly humorous approach, does it undercut the horror? And does The Monkey justify its feature-length runtime, or does it stretch a simple concept too far?Join us as we analyze where The Monkey lands—does it deliver the frights, or is this one toy best left collecting dust?In this episode we are joined by Brandon from Haunted US.

This week, after a long month of lists, recaps, and Oscar nominated heavy hitters, we lighten the mood with the gory, splatter-filled Stephen King adaptation of The Monkey. Oz Perkins' second film in a year, The Monkey stars both Theo James and Christian Convery in dual roles, Tatiana Maslany, Colin O'Brien, Adam Scott, and Elijah Wood. Does Perkins follow up last summer's Longlegs with a potent mashup of Final Destination and Stephen King? Or does this horror comedy fizzle out?

Welcome back to the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast! In this episode, we take a deep dive into the creepy world of horror films featuring murderous, malevolent creatures—be they possessed toys or a rampaging primate. The Monkey (2025) Osgood Perkins takes on Stephen King's short story in this chilling new horror film starring Theo James in a dual role as twin brothers haunted by a cursed toy monkey. Every time the monkey is wound up, gruesome deaths follow. With a stellar supporting cast that includes Tatiana Maslany, Adam Scott, and Elijah Wood, The Monkey brings a mix of supernatural horror and psychological tension. We break down how this adaptation stacks up against other Stephen King films and whether it delivers on its eerie premise. Demonic Toys (1992) Before The Monkey, the killer toy subgenre was already alive and well with Demonic Toys, a campy horror flick from Full Moon Features. The film follows a police officer trapped in a warehouse with sinister, possessed toys—including the horrifying Baby Oopsie Daisy and the deadly Grizzly Teddy. How does this low-budget horror flick hold up over 30 years later? We revisit the fun, the frights, and the absurdity. Shakma (1990) What's more terrifying than a haunted toy? How about an out-of-control, enraged baboon? Shakma is a lesser-known cult classic in which medical students are hunted by a rabid primate inside a research facility. It's a wild, chaotic, and absolutely bizarre horror-thriller. We discuss whether Shakma is a hidden gem or just another cheesy ‘90s horror flick. Join us as we dissect these horror films, share our thoughts on killer monkeys and possessed toys, and, of course, rant about the state of modern horror.

Are you scared of toy monkeys? Should you be? Listen/watch our review of The Monkey (2025) to find out. Synopsis When twin brothers Bill and Hal discover a treasure trove of souvenirs in their absentee father's closet, they find a toy drumming monkey. Soon they discover that whenever they turn it's key, a horrific death occurs in their vicinity. After inadvertently killing a loved one, they decide to hide the monkey down a well to protect others. Two decades later Hal discovers that the monkey is killing again, and he must track down the Monkey and stop it with his teen son. Review This film is Osgood Perkins followup to Longlegs and is an adaptation of a Stephen King short story. I didn't know what to think going into it. The trailer had a a strong sense of dark humor, but since Perkins' other films didn't rely on humor as much, I wasn't sure if he could deliver. But deliver he did. This fast paced death fest is fueled by a great script full of dry dialogue as a counterpoint to the absurdity of the plot. It's like a cross between Final Destination movies and Dragnet. Theo James does the heavy lifting as the hapless Hal being tortured by not only The Monkey, but also by almost everyone he meets. His resigned everyman is the perfect straight man for the insanity happening around him. The insanity takes the form of crazy, over the top deaths that are served in a steady drip line throughout the movie. It's got decapitations, explosions, trampling, and more. Score 9/10

"Everybody dies. Some of us peacefully and in our sleep, and some of us... horribly. And that's life." 

How do you follow a film like Longlegs, the chilling riff on serial killer thrillers that became one of the cult smashes of 2024? The answer, if you're acclaimed writer-director Osgood Perkins, is to first swap out the pressure-cooker dread of that breakout hit. Next, add a cursed toy monkey. Then, harvest the wildest, darkest parts of your imagination for some of the most gruesome demises ever seen on screen. And finally, package all of the above into an existentialist comedy about embracing death. The result is The Monkey – a Stephen King adaptation inspired by the literary icon's 1980 short story of the same name, but very much a work of Oz's own invention.From the moment a flamethrower-wielding Adam Scott opens the film with a maniacal cameo, screaming as he scorches everything in his path, it's clear the movie is operating on a different tonal plane to Longlegs. But make no mistake, The Monkey is just as personal to Oz as that film and others before it, like The Blackcoat's Daughter and 2016's I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House. Perhaps, in fact, even more so. As Oz explains in this moving spoiler conversation, the film is a meditation on death because death is something he's experienced up close in the most unimaginably tragic circumstances; on September 12 1992, his father, Psycho actor Anthony Perkins, died of AIDS-related pneumonia at his home in Los Angeles. Almost exactly nine years later, his mother, the actress and photographer Berry Berenson, was aboard American Airlines Flight 11 when it was hijacked by terrorists and flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre, on September 11, 2001. The Monkey, he says, features Theo James playing two roles as twin brothers Hal and Bill, because “that's my life,” as he puts it. He and his own brother Elvis Perkins, an acclaimed musician, became “buried in the rubble of the tragedy” of their mother's death on 9/11 and emerged with “differences more apparent than ever.” In the conversation you're about to hear, Oz tells us the extent to which the movie helped reconcile some of the feelings towards his brother. Al asks him about the ending of the film, which involves a plane crash – a very emotionally-loaded image, given his tragic family history.  And he shares why accepting death is the only true way to find peace.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

King drops some news about his current novel, The Talisman 3, and fields a variety of questions ranging from the adaptations of his work (stuff like the upcoming The Life of Chuck, The Long Walk, and The Monkey, and classics like Cujo and Maximum Overdrive) to nerdy deep dives into his craft, his relationship with Tabby, the new Holly Gibney novel coming this May called Never Flinch, Mike Flanagan, and just what the hell is up with all the corn in his work. This episode is sponsored by Neon's The Monkey, an adaptation of King's short story of the same name directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), and starring Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, and Elijah Wood, coming to theaters February 21st.
