That Film Stew | Episode 621 – Anaconda (Review)

Directed by Tom Gormican, Anaconda s the action-adventure comedy horror film that serves as a meta-reboot of Anaconda (1997) and is the sixth installment in the Anaconda film series. Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) have been best friends since they were kids and always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. We break down all things meta-reboot, movie references, "themes", and of course... big snakes.
