About this episode
What happens when Henry Selick, the Director of a Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and James and The Giant Peach decides to create a live action film? You get the insanity that is Monkeybone. This dark fantasy/gross out comedy stars Brendan Fraser, Bridgette Fonda, the voice of John Tutoro, and zombie Chris Kattan and when it released in 2001, it failed at the box office and marked the short end to Henry Selick's live action career. But does this movie deserve all the hate? And are there elements of Monkeybone that critics in 2001 just didn't get? We'll find out today with our special guest ANASTASIA ELFMAN returning to lend us a hand as we explore the dark world of Monkeybone. The short film Brian made in college that kinda mimics Monkeybone-- https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16GrjCGbJg/ Learn more about Anastasia Elfman Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dahliadimont/ Bloody Bridget- https://bloodybridget.com/ NEWSLETTER and UNCUT REELS!!!!!
