Spoiler Review: The Monkey

This week we review and discuss The Monkey, a horror comedy directed by Osgood Perkins and starring Theo James, Tatiana Maslany and Elijah Wood, about a family that is cursed by an evil monkey toy that causes death and suffering in that family across the generations.We discuss how the monkey treats its topic of generational trauma and abuse and whether it lives up to the weight of those topics, how the movie compares to the Stephen King short story on which it is based and why that results in an ending that makes no sense, what the movies has to do with dingoes eating babies, and much more.
