The Monkey (2025 film) | Everyone Dies, Let's Dance ft. Laura of Why the Book Wins

Osgood Perkins delivers a Stephen King adaptation to remember
with his take on “The Monkey” from the SKELETON CREW collection,
but how does it stack up to the numerous other King adaptations
being produced by Hollywood in recent years? In episode 341,
Laura from the “Why the Book Wins” youtube channel joins Luke
Elliott & James Bailey to debate Stephen King films, find
humor in the ubiquity of death, rate their favorite scenes from
the film, discuss what was changed from story to screen, and
finally each cast their votes on which was better: the short
story or the movie!
