Given recent events, we here at Monster Crush have decided to stop all this monkey business. So join us as we go ape-shit for our singletons this week! Insert additional monkey pun here. So strap in and strap on for some cryptids who might involve reaching a loving hand back down the evolutionary branch so chimpler times (that’s the last one, I swear). This date we bring you the Stellar’s Sea Ape and the Monkey Man of Delhi!

Featuring: Monster Crush is here to distract but never to ignore - Ranking the hottest Donkey Kong characters - Sean Astin’s connection to Donkey Kong is revealed - Spooky News: Happy Godzilla Day, more US congress alien talks, and outer space gets wet - A really Stellar group of animals - Otter tubes - Mundane monsters vs. bonkers monsters - Beyond Belief lives up to its name - Rooftop sleeping - India’s Weapon X Program - And more!

CW: Allusion to current events/2024 US election (1:45-4:00 & 1:02 :00-1:04:00 ), attempted harm to animals (38:00-38:30 ), mentions of physical assault (47:15-48:45 ), also The Monkey Man of Delhi can be interpreted as implied abuse to animals/animal testing
