The Monkey (2025) (Featuring Jon Reilly)

We're back in action for our fifth season, subtitled Schlocktoberfest. Each week we'll report on the blood splattering and the guts spilling, beginning with this year's own "The Monkey". Written and directed by Oz Perkins and released after his (inexplicable to us) victory lap after the strange amount of acclaim achieved by "Longlegs", "The Monkey" regardless cements his reputation as a horror creator who can make bank. We're joined by Jon Reilly of Life's But a Song podcast as we parse this aggressive horror comedy and discuss the weirdoes of Maine and customer service at Friendly's restaurants.
