'The Monkey' is a horror/comedy film that was released earlier this year and is based on a short story penned by King in 1980, carrying the same title. The 2025 adaptation was produced by renowned filmmaker James Wan and directed by Osgood Perkins.

Rogan shared that he tuned in to watch the film with his youngest daughter and labeled it as "hyperviolent" and a "classic". He said:

"You know what I saw recently that I f*ck*ng loved?'The Monkey'. It's f*ck*ng fun man. I watched it with my youngest daughter [who] loves horror movies. We watch a lot of horror movies together. We were looking for something the other night and we were like— alright, let's take a chance on this. Had no idea what it was. Watched the trailer, I'm like— are you in? She's like— okay, this is good."

"NosferatuI'm saying it right now, it's the best vampire movie ever. It's so beautiful, like the way it's shot. There's a scene when he's ['Thomas Hutter' played by Nicholas Hoult] walking up to the castle, it's the creepiest setup of all time. And the dude who plays 'Count Orlok' is the dude who played 'Pennywise' in 'IT', and it's the best vampire ever."
