    Download audio

    The snake is back, but it’s definitely not the 1997 cult classic you remember. In this special bonus episode, we’re sharing our raw, unscripted thoughts on the brand-new ANACONDA starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd.

    Since this was the winning choice from our monthly member vote, we’re skipping the deep-dive history and getting straight into the fun. We discuss whether Tom Gormican’s meta-comedy approach actually breathes new life into the franchise or if the CGI giant snake still feels like it belongs in the 90s. From the comedic chemistry between Rudd and Black to those unexpected cameos that had us shouting at the screen, we’re breaking down everything we loved (and everything that felt a bit "snake-bitten") about this theatrical release.
