The CHIIIIIMMME of the silver monkey
7 June 2022
I think I'm in the rare minority of the (already sadly quite small) viewership of this show that had no knowledge or affection for the original 90s show - so this hilariously cheap and baffling mythology-themed game show flew completely over my head. I rather warmed to it though, with the clonevoice of Bradley Baker having a whale of a time and the likeable Cristela Alonzo holding court over the cheapest thing I've ever seen. The weird overdubs. The strange photoshopping of the swag prizes. The clunky wobbly sets. The earnest retellings of world mythologies. It was wonderful. In context, I can see why it got cancelled and why it offended viewers of the original but honestly, I loved watching it.
