The Bad Monkey cast and creator join Kyle Meredith to talk about the Apple TV+ series starring Vince Vaughn. The show centers on a former Southern Florida detective (Vaughn) who gets drawn into a world of greed and corruption that’s decimating the environment in Florida and the Bahamas. And yes, there’s a monkey. Listen to Vaughn’s co-stars Meredith Hagner, Charlotte Lawrence, Natalie Martinez, and Ronald Peet, along with series creator Bill Lawrence, as they talk all things Bad Monkey above or wherever you get your podcasts.
Lawrence (who also gave us Scrubs, Ted Lasso, and Shrinking) dives into the great soundtrack, which features Tom Petty covers by artists such as Eddie Vedder, Jason Isbell, and Weezer. The creator tells us why he wanted the Petty covers throughout the series; in fact, Lawrence’s daughter, Charlotte, discusses her own contribution: a cover of “Wildflowers.”
Charlotte also talks about making her acting debut in Bad Monkey, while her co-star Hagner dissects her character Eve Stripling, a sociopath who keeps us on our toes as to her ultimate motives. Meanwhile, Martinez reveals what it was like to jump into comedy for the first time, and touches on the significance of being from the same Miami area as the show’s setting. She and Peet also touch on going head-to-head in dialogue with Vaughn, with Peet having to knock out a Bahamian accent while acting alongside a monkey.
