Prime Mates update

Have you ever covered the Ricky Gervais Show’s Monkey News - the animated versions of these really make me laugh with Karl Pilkington’s crazy Mancunian views on things - here’s a taster about a monkey in space but also there’s a great one about a woman who leaves her husband for a monkey😂 https://youtu.be/tizJlqByJbY?si=fc4H6rL6T4asMoFB

Um… somehow I missed that the Harry Malter Family Park is 20 min from my house. I’m at your service.

What about the Futurama ep when they have to make a delivery to an ape planet that has people zoos disguised as private vacations? Or the American dad episode where Jeff returns from space in like 60 years and Stan has become a Gorilla with a jet pack to prepare for the 'inevitable ape uprising'

I think it's time to discuss the werewolf. Half primate, half canine 🤔

Also BEGGING for 'The Concept of burying Harambe in Stephen King's Pet Sematary ft. The Plumbing the Dead Star lads' 👀🤞

Idk if you remember my big list on the Facebook group but any of those dog shit films would be great but also would be cool to see abstract topics like Asian monkey gods/demons or say Ham the space chimp, stuff like that

Return to the Prime Mates roots of primates on screen! But to be respectful of your time...just watch the movie trailer and you and Suren can comment along and review the trailer. And you can do multiple movies in 1 episode. Reviewing Trailers for Primate (2025), The Monkey (2025), Monkey Man (2024), and Better Man (2024), would make for a great episode.

Would love it if Mason came by to talk about primates in comics

ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES SUREN AND COPIOUS BEERS

Hi Matt! Can we practice toggling the poll to use checkboxes instead of radio buttons, allowing us to vote for more than one option? I want to vote for both the Donkey Kong animated series and Curious George!

Better Man with Michelle Braiser? Seeing as she was in the movie 🦧

Bad Monkey Curious George Mr Smith https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Smith_(TV_series) Chimp Crazy Dr Doolittle Borat (Jonny the monkey) Maggilla Gorilla Dora the Explorer

Maybe it’s finally time to do Come From Away/the real life bonobo from the show Unga

Sassy the Sasquatch! He's Australian even.

Get Dave on to discuss Mr Teeny from the Simpson

Is a Wendigo a primate? Maybe Jackson Baley could shed some light on this being an amateur crypto zoologist

The terrible animated Donkey Kong Country TV show from the late 90s. https://youtu.be/LI3LNc3mN1M?si=CUzwNGBOcRCn0ess

The film Monkey Shines, where an evil helper monkey tries to kill the person they are looking after.

The one where a chimp learns martial arts for the CIA. Obviously, the 2004 hit Funky Monkey. Ignore the fact that a chimpanzee is, indeed, an ape not a monkey.

Primate the new horror movie with Sanspants' Scaredy boys

Digimon Adventure: Ep 15 ''The Dark Network of Etemon". The ape in question is Etemon, the second big villain of the show, an orange Ape man, who, in the in English dub, talks like Elvis. This episode is his first appearance. (I think you can watch this on the streaming service Crunchyroll).

History of the See/Hear/Speak No evil monkeys

Mr Go - a Korean movie "there's no rule saying a gorilla can't play major league baseball"

How has this not been covered? I googled “James Bond Chimp” and there is Spymates? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0367088/

Peter Jackson’s Braindead (1992) would be a fun episode. Crazy kiwi horror comedy movie with a very central and memorable “rat-monkey creature” Can’t wait to hear more about the Ape Titty Slide. This might go all the way to the top!

Fine. I’ll drop everything else in life that maybe I should do tomorrow for Ape Titty Slide. Between this and Canada tour I mean I finally feel like someone is finally hearing all the yelling I do at my IPod! What an amazing week for happy news!

Perhaps a review of the new Gorillaz?
