This week, we’re talking about The Monkey (Hulu), the totally unhinged horror comedy from Oz Perkins and Stephen King.
We kick things off the episode with a quick, spoiler-free review of Together, now in theaters
But first, we kick things off with a spoiler-free review of the movie everyone is talking about — Weapons (0:07). It’s wild, it’s brutal, and it might just be the best horror film of the year.
Then, we get into The Monkey (09:18) — adapted from Stephen King’s short story, this is the polar opposite of Perkins’ last feature, Longlegs. Instead of slow-burn dread, we get full-on Looney Tunes kills, and a demonic drum-playing toy monkey you’ll never forget.
We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:36:24).
In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about The Monkey, and don't forget to like & subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
