Monkey Man (2024): The Insane Story Of How Slumdog Millionaire Made The Best Debut Of The Decade!

Ben & Rob take a jab at ‘Monkey Man’, Dev Patel’s 2024 brand new feature film; his first in the director’s seat, his first in the writer’s room and without question the best starring turn of his career. When ‘The Kid’ (Patel) is wronged by those in power, he will stop at nothing to find the justice he needs and the audience craves, fighting not only for himself but the survival of those he represents. Also starring Sharlto Copley, Pitobash Tripathy, Vipin Sharma, Sikandar Kher, Adithi Kalkunte and Sobhita Dhulipala, ‘Monkey Man’ might just be the best debut film by any film-maker we’ve ever seen; a heart-pounding action stunner with a heart and soul to match.

Getting this film from script to screen was its own heroic battle, with writer/director and star Dev Patel needing as much determination and willpower as his epic protagonist. But how did this film so successfully steal the hearts of our hosts? Why might this be the most important film for you to support this year? And why is Rob so hopelessly enraged and bitter about UK teen-drama show ‘Skins’?!
