What happens when a creepy toy monkey starts keeping count with its cymbals? In this episode of Popcorn Unscripted, we’re diving into The Monkey (2025) — the outrageous new horror-comedy adaptation of Stephen King’s short story. Directed by Osgood Perkins and starring Theo James, the film mixes over-the-top gore, twisted humor, and a cursed childhood toy that brings nothing but death and chaos.
Join us as we break down the wildest kills, the performances, the film’s mix of absurdity and terror, and whether The Monkey has the bite to become a cult classic. Plus, we spin through a round of Popcorn Roulette and test our horror trivia chops along the way!
