Tonight Mike, Kat & Andrew are again joined by Chef Mike Wisdom of @theedgepizza to break down one of the most talked-about horror movies of the year, The Monkey!

Directed by Oz Perkins, Produced by James Wan & based on a short story by Stephen King, it's needless to say this movie comes with pretty high expectations. It follows twin brothers (both played by Theo James) whose lives are turned upside down by a cursed toy monkey that causes random horrific deaths around them.

This is one wacky, wild, movie that feels like a lost episode of Tales from the Crypt, and you can rent it at home now!

But first: COMPANION, THE WOLF MAN, the newest season of BLACK MIRROR, and thoughts on the audiobook of THE SHINING.
