We’re reviewing The Monkey, the new Stephen King adaptation from director Osgood Perkins, and answering your questions in the return of the Mailbag! Also this week, we take a look at Captain America: Brave New World's box office and audience reactions.

As far as tone is concerned, Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey is unlike any Stephen King adaptation audiences have ever seen. There have been King films in the past that have funny lines and funny scenes, but the 2025 movie is the first to go all out and consistently use extreme horror as a vehicle for comedy.
