I've heard people use it a couple times. Sounds like a fun expression I could use. What's it mean and where did it come from?

It is related to chaos raining down, all hell breaking loose, etc....
I'm pretty certain that is a reference to the movie The Wizard of Oz in where the Wicked Witch unleashes her forces of flying monkeys to capture Dorothy.

Just do not unleash them in a public park. Flying monkeys must be kept on leashes at all times. If some naughty monkeys unleash themselves, you will have to spank those monkeys.

It's usually 'release the flying monkeys' or 'Don't make me release the flying monkeys' * it refers to the flying monkeys that the Wicked Witch of the West releases to capture Dorothy, the Scarecrow, The Tin Man & The Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz.

I think that it means "All hell is going to break loose" or "Here comes the drama" or something. That's what I get from it

You mean you don't remember the Wizard of Oz?
