Monkeybone with Justin McElroy
Just in time for Brendan Fraser\u2019s big comeback, we\u2019re taking a look back at his misguided collaboration with Henry Selick - 2001\u2019s bizarro flop MONKEYBONE. Justin McElroy (no relation to Bridget Fonda\u2019s Dr. Julie McElroy) returns to the podcast after having watched this film a whopping seven times (!!) to unpack all the madness. Why are there no rules or logic to the film\u2019s \u201cDark Town\u201d underworld? What was the appeal of Chris Kattan\u2019s \u201cMango\u201d character on SNL? Was this film the nail in the coffin for the kitschy retro-revival genre of projects that dominated the 1990s? Can we write the money we spent to rent this movie off on our taxes?\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
