Ben Errington interviews Aidan Leary and C. R. Thompson about their horror movie Monkey's Magic Merry Go Round.

Welcome to the Neighborhood. Ben Errington is joined by Aidan Leary and C. R. Thompson, the director and writers of Monkey's Magic Merry Go Round, a new horror movie featuring the troubled host of a nightmarish kids TV show, which is streaming now on Screambox! After a mysterious bout of amnesia, a beloved children’s television host struggles to piece together his fractured memories, only to find his once-cheerful puppet co-stars behaving with sinister intent. As reality unravels, the line between performance and nightmare begins to blur.
