thrilled to finally announce my Monkey Mondays challenge. every monday of 2024 i’m gonna watch a monkey movie. as long as there’s a monkey (or ape) in it, that counts. not sure why i’m doing this, it isn’t for a video or anything. but i’ve already added so many promising ape films to the watchlist and i’m HYPED.
kicking off the challenge on a strong note with this one. a LOT of monkeys. or apes. much better than rise, properly absurd at points and some breathtaking action scenes. excited to embark on this journey.
