MONKEYBONE BAD MOVIE REVIEW | Double Toasted 

You know I always wonder after winning the Oscar that Brendan Fraser look back at his career and think about movies like Monkeybone and Furry Vengeance and go, “How far I’ve come...” 😂

All this because Julien mentioned it in the Poor Things review😂😂😂😂😂

Saw this four times in the theater in the two weeks before Fox pulled the movie out of theaters. What a fascinating last gasp of 90s kid movie insanity this flick is. There's so much going on in this that Korey didn't even mention Megan Mullally as Fraser's money hungry sister, or Rose MacGowan tearing out a prison guard's throat with her teeth to help Fraser escape... yep, that happens!

Billy: Are they gonna blow up the dress? Korey looks angrily at Billy plays the scene and Billy was right. Korey: Did you watch Monkeybone?! Billy: No I watched The Seven Year Itch.

I was today years old that I realized that Henry Sellick (director of 'Coraline' and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas') also directed this

If you ever wondered what Tim Burtons nightmares looked like, Moneybone is hear to show you lol

The dad wears Monkey Bone slippers in Coraline

Growing up, this movie was a hell of a fever dream for a 10 year old😂

Finally The Roast of Monkeybone is out.

Fun fact: The film was based on a comic called "Dark Town" that Henry Selick wanted to make into a movie. (Even writing a letter to the author that "I've never felt any project was closer to my sensibilities than this one.") Selick wanted the film closer to the comic as a very faithful adaptation. It was gonna be like James and the Giant Peach where half of the movie is entirely stop motion when Stu goes into a coma, and would've matched the comic's original Cubist/Art Deco style in stop motion. Nicolas Cage was meant to play Stu, and Christopher Walken as the voice of Death. Designs, models and sets were made in 1997/1998 (and there's actually one screenshot online,) BUT those greedy executs of Fox refused and wanted to change everything into the film we know today. Producer Chris Columbus wanted a mostly live action movie and favored Brendan Fraser since he was a big hit at the moment, and renamed the movie "Monkeybone" and at one point, Ben Stiller was considered for the voice of Monkeybone but did Mystery Man instead.

Honestly, given the cartoons of the 90's/early 2000's I don't feel like monkeybone the cartoon doesn't feel that absurd or out of place. A lot of weird surreal shit was getting greenlit in those days.

At 13:49 Billy’s reaction and Julien’s laugh had me rolling!🤣🤣💀

Ever since the Poor Things review I knew this roast would be coming

2:12 What is Monkeybone?! 3:27 Monkeybone throwing crap Sounds about right! 6:55 Why is always me! 8:55 wow cool!🙄 10:33 Fake Excelling! 11:46 Emo Peter Parker! 13:36 Monkeybone is his Boner! 14:37 Korey want Rouge Toastes! 15:51 Karma Chump! 17:01 Cartoon Soundeffcts! 19:25 Down Downtown! 20:41 Here's the results 21:57 Your on your own Bud! 23:26 😱 26:01 Don't run away from me Jackwagon! 27:53 Brandon Fraser Reading the Script for Monkeybone! 28:46 Korey going to kill Billy! 29:10 RIP-off Roger Rabbit! 30:25 so sick of Moneybone! 30:59 Come here SOB! 31:27 Monkeybone Billy Brooks Laughs! 33:17 Take that monkey Chump! 35:01 Woha! 35:55 did Thomas Church wrong! 37:05 Whoopi Blow up! 38:18 Monkeybone Don't Monkey Around! 39:55 no the little legs!😂 41:30 MonkeyButt is my!! 42:05 Cat Got'em him! 43:18 Why!!! 45:05 I am a Genius!! 46:11 Buster knows that ain't Stu! 48:04 Oh my! Stu! 49:03 No thanks! 50:29 Cringe Overload!! 51:04 just kill me now! 52:18 Sweet Dreams Dog! 53:03 Nightmare Fuel! 57:48 Runaway Naked men! 59:43 Dogpile! 1:00:35 Hey don't smashed us together! 1:01:04 See ya! 1:01:52 True Billy Brooks🤣

The 90s was about “counter culture” and anti-commercialism which itself became mainstream

I remember the trailer for this movie while watching another movie in the theater way back when. I remember the tag line at the end of the trailer the narrator said was "Get boned"... i looked at my dad and asked "did he really just say that?" Lol

A fever dream and i had no idea it was based on a book or Giancarlo Esposito was here with Bob Odenkirk. Also the end with the gas is straight up Batman with the Joker balloon 😂 Same writer. Sam Hamm

Hoping someday this film can get a directors cut, cause it honestly deserves way more than it got .

I used to watch this movie alot back in the PS2 days. Back then, I would look at the old Target booklets & go straight to the movie section to see what I wanted. I vividly remember getting this film, Dude Where's My Car & some other movie. Also, that scene in the trailer where that pole falls on Stu is a deleted scene. IDK why they cut it out & made it seem like he got in a coma from having the car in reverse. In the deleted scene, when the car hits the pole, he gets out & assess the damage of it & goes to the payphone to call someone. And THEN the pole falls onto the booth, hitting Stu & giving him the coma.

This is one of the most bizarre movies ever made. I do admire it; the cast is great, the visuals are memorable and this movie did so terrible that the Director Henry Selick didn’t make another movie again for 8 years with Coraline

As a kid this movie fascinated me because it went into the mind of the artist/cartoonist and had the most creative creature design in anything at the time.

Would be funny if this movie was a prequel to Brendan Fraser’s The Whale of how he gain all that weight because of his depression with MonkeyBone 😂

22:05-22:10 “This is where the movie says you’re on your own” 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 Basically, that’s EVERY movie these days, Corey. lmao That was perfect 🤌🏻

1:01:39 TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES! Audience:... *SILENCE*

46:37 buster is such a stereotypical dog name but has anyone ever known someone who named their dog buster?

The moment when you realize Julian has been sitting off to the side the whole time 😆

42:28 you were right Korey. They had an entire different ending of Monkeybone where Hypnos ends up getting his demise by his big sister Death.

Can't believe it took you guys this long to review this craziness. Thank you, Julian H.

The tagline for this movie was “get boned”. All that needs to be said.

36:00 “did that brother wrong” 😂😂😂😂

*Julien:* "Corporate needs you to find the differences between this movie _(Monkeybone)_ and this movie _(Poor Things)_ ...They're the same movie."

That whole starving artist who doesn’t want money trope is such a crock of shit and definitely irks the hell out of me. Man, as far as I’m concerned, anyone who buys into (or claims to buy into) that statement that “money doesn’t buy happiness” either has had money their whole life or is so financially in the shits that they need to cope by convincing themselves they don’t need money (as if having a shit ton of money won’t provide you with more free time, more control over your life, better healthcare, better mental and physical health, shelter, food, clothing, the ability to take care of your family, the ability to travel, the ability to do more fun and interesting things, the ability to buy more fun and interesting things, etc.).

Watching this live was Hilarious. Julien's laughing in the background still cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣.

julian dying off camera is sending meeeeee

Me: Making a huge bowl of cereal. Double Toasted: 😏👍 Well, check this out!

Omg I love yall this my movie!!! I still randonmly sing songs from it "ALL ABOARD my lady gotta loose caboose ALL ABOARD my lady gotta loose caboose ALL ABOARD get on the Julie train" 😂😂😂 "in the afterlife you could be headed for the serious strife now you work the scene all day but tomorrow theyll be hell to pay" 🤣🤣🤣

You guys should do a roast with one of the cast members of the movie y’all are roasting. I would’ve loved to hear and see Brendan’s reactions to the commentary. Edit: Chris Kattan plays a character that died from a broken neck, and a few years later he actually broke his neck during a SNL skit which damn near ended his career.

This movie reminds me of Poor Things

Yes!!! It's about damn time you guys review this movie! I don't give a fuck what anyone says, this one is absolutely one of my favorites as a kid lmfao! I know this film is bad lmao.

Please do American Ninja 1 & 2 for this series, featuring the one and only Steve James! True schlock classics in dire need of roasting!

The 90s and early 2000s were all about this Anti corporate reluctant hero stereotype

Omg.😂😂😂this is what Julien was talking bout? 😂😂😂this shit is WILD

Dave Foley(Herb the creep) played Chris in the Dan Vs cartoon. Also, Herb is a creep, just staring while Stu and Julie are talking alone together

That part with the garden tool used to give me nightmares when I was little

Very accurate 3:37 Emo detected 😒 9:05 Wtf! 13:45 Eww 20:52 Nightmare fueled 👀 23:35 Get back here!! 😭 26:10 Lol someone angry 😂 28:55 So sick of that monkey 31:08 Look how they massacred my boy 36:10 🤦‍♂️ Right I'm horrified 😭 40:19 Painful 😖 46:20 Nope! 49:12 Lol 😆 59:52 Monkeybone is an odd little relic. I love Brendan but I think Chris Kattan steals the movie lmao 😂 Also Rose McGowan 😻

Yay! I was wondering when this was gonna be uploaded. This was such a fun review!

Between this and “Freddy Got Fingered”, the 2000s had a thing for having depressed, mentally-disturbed animator protagonists be the central characters of their obnoxious comedy films. What was up with that?

This movie definitely freaked me back in the day when I was 4.

Oh god I remember this movie…I thought i was having a fever dream…much like the movie itself!

I remember Harry from AICN blasting this movie because his cameo was cut lol

The ending animation of this movie was kind of a sexual awakening for me as a kid

I'm amazed that Billy and Martin recognized Thomas Harden Church just by voice cause I don't hear it just by that short scene. Wow!

I hate to say it, but this movie is actually a guilty pleasure. When I was teen in the early 2000’s before this came out, I drew cartoons A LOT and did whatever to get people to notice them. When they finally happened, obviously it started off nice then got a little nuts after a while. It eventually led to weird dreams where they were saying “Help us save the kingdom from the wizard!” Or what not. Of course, that’s done with and I still draw today but not as much because of other life related distractions. That being said, I heard this movie sucked but I still went because I was a huge nightmare before Christmas nerd. I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed monkeybone’s antics. The biggest problem is that the movie has a massive identity crisis and just doesn’t know what the hell it wants to be. Brendan Fraser definitely looks like he doesn’t want to be here but at the same time still tries to squeeze something interesting out of this confusing script. The visuals and stop motion stuff is easily the highlight and it sometimes succeeds with poking fun at the “something not that great getting milked for every penny” thing you see in other shows and whatnot. It’s also one of those amusing ideas on paper that unfortunately was put into a hodge-podge on screen but thank god Henry selick bounced back with coraline years later. Lastly, I got no sleep last night because of a bad wind storm and this video made my day. Thanks, double toasted! 😎💥👍🏻

Pre-video watch comment-- DAMN I didnt know you guys interviewed henry, I gotta check that out. He's such an incredibly self aware guy and great to just listen talk lol, I went to a q/a once and I would've listened to him shoot shit for hours, maybe days. big fan of him all the way back since his liquid television shorts, so though I can't stand how monkey-bone turned out as a whole, there's such an extreme layer of innovation and creativity hidden inside the movie if you can get thru it lol. Some incredible and classic techniques, Henry went full Ray Harryhousen with some of those crazy live action/stopmo set ups. I cant remember if the studio was officially the 'skeleton' of laika and laika house before they swapped ownership, a lot of how the animation was shot is making me think so

I watched this shit as a kid and had no idea wtf was really happening 😂

Idle Hands and Joes Apartment need to be next😊

This shit was nightmare fuel as a kid

I haven’t seen this in sooo long. Is it bad I watched this a lot as a kid. I don’t think my parents knew what it was. They got it for me cause it had the monkey and they knew I loved Brendan Fraser. I watched the mummy and George of the jungle all the time too.

43:05 best bit from this roast

28:15 Cue the end credits DT, that's all we needed to hear. 🤣

I remember this movie when I was a young kid watching HBO at the time. That movie will always be one of my guilty pleasure movies. Plus, check out the deleted scenes by Horror Ooze, including the alternative ending where Death takes her little brother, Hypnos straight down to either hell or whatever underworld she's taking him as punishment for cheating her and having Monkeybone be a part of it. And just like Hypnos talking to Monkeybone in Stu's body... His little devil ass is hers!!!

The blueprint for Poor Things

6:14... reminds me of Mark Hamil's zoanoid transformation in The Guyver.

Damn, I somewhat forgot that this movie existed and it popping up flooded my brain with memorable scenes that haunted me for days back when it came on tv. Like the nightmare where the machine keeping Fraser's character alive got unplugged and he just deflated. And I remember Medusa being a waitress in the 'underworld' or what is it. Just minor details and visuals. I didn't know the movie was received so badly.

I forgot about this movie, felt like a fever dream.

2:32 was the original scene of how stu got into Down Town before it changed.

I'll say what I've always said about Monkeybone, from the day I discovered its existence; the movie itself is utter dogshit, or rather monkeyshit in this case, but the premise is fucking awesome.

14:35 "Monkeyd***" 💀

It’s a fucking classic!!!

This is one of the few movies ive seen over and over again

Man dies this take me back 😆 almost forgot this film exists

Oooh yeah . . . First the Nostalgia Critic, now DT. Here we go 😂😂

Mentioning Brendan Fraser to be like Tom Green, this is literally Freddy Got Fingered if Tim Burton was the producer.

I haven’t heard of Monkeybone in years lol. I’ve never seen it. Brendan Fraser did this movie and George of the Jungle. I’m glad he finally won an Oscar for the Whale. Julien laughing in the background always cracks me up. Protect him at all cost.😂🤓👊🏾👊🏾

I’ve got a good comparison. This movie is like being trapped in a Primus music video, with zero context.

Ahh yes, the cinematic, Lynchian masterpiece that inspired poor things

Somehow missed this one during its theatrical run, gonna have to check it out!

I saw this movie when I was 10 ior 11 on a cruise(it was a seaday so we hadn't reached port yet)....this movie baffled TF out of me and I have a crazy malleable imagination. I just remember staring at it with my jaw so far open, it was damn near to hell for being so baffled! I did have chocolate strawberries and a Shirley Temple though so that was good🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So many of these bad movie reviews are childhood favorites of mine lol

A friend took me to this movie when it opened. To this day I still don't speak to him.

All I need is the Double toasted Roast The Gigli Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 2003 Worst movie of all time!

When people ask me what's the worst movie i have ever saw, i say Monkey Bone. I when with my daughter and all my neices and nephews. I paid for this movie for like 4 or 5 people. I'm still sad. Smh

Not gonna lie I used to LOVE this movie growing up as a kid lol. I stayed renting it from the video store.

It’s like that one song goes “Me and my monkey”

I love this movie and I’m not ashamed! I’m not ashamed!

This one happened live a few weeks ago, I didn’t think Korey was going to upload it

6:35 Judging from the look on Brandon, this movie and the monkey from the live action George of the jungle movie, is the reason why Brandon Fraser did not want to work with monkeys ever again

Ever notice whenever the main character is an animator, they show a cartoon they made, and it's always terrible? Reminds me of Freddy Got Fingered

maaaan david foley runnin around like the greased up nakey dude from family guy

This movie is SO GODDAMN WEIRD that I kinda can’t help but love it.

They were def on A LOT of drugz for this one

Bill Waterson wasn't really into merchandizing.

Julien laughing in the background is giving me an unyielding rage i can't hold back

They have to hit Cool World.

Yes

Stop asking questions, good lord 😂

Oh no not this film😂

For another bad movie review, I recommend Saving Silverman. I used to like that movie when I was younger but I rewatched it recently and it does not hold up

Unironically this is one of my favorite brendan fraser movies. I think I was like 10 when I watched it the first time but it still holds a special place in my heart of funny.

Now you guys have to tackle Cool World it is way more weird than Monkeybone.
