They finally made a monkey out of him.
This time the boys go ape for Robbie's first biopic, Better Man (2024), directed by Michael Gracey of The Greatest Showman fame. You may have heard, but there's a bit of a twist in that Robbie Williams is portrayed by a CGI monkey for the entire film. The fellas start off by gibbon the movie a rating out of 10 before diving into a spoileriffic discussion about the movie, its historical accuracy, and the astonishing events behind-the-scenes that brought this $111,000,000 primate passion project to life.
Is the movie a howler (monkey) or did it turn out great (ape)? Why did Gary Barlow turn down the original script? Who is the mysterious Nate? Which death cost the film millions of dollars? Why is Adam Tucker credited on so much of the soundtrack? Are we entering a Year Of Robbie?
Chimpanzee for yourself in an episode that's Goodall (i.e. Jane) round!
