RFYL 255: Anaconda (2025)

You are listening to the Run for your life podcast.

Hey everyone, welcome to the show. I'm Daphne.

And I'm Pink.

And this is the Run for Your Lives Podcast.

This episode, we are talking about the action, adventure, comedy, horror. How many different uh genres can I also say? Can I add to the list? I don't know. Film Anaconda, directed by Tom Gormakin and released December 25th. 20. 25th, 2025.

Merry Christmas! This was a Christmas present, I guess, from the studio to the masses. Because it came out on Christmas.

Yes. Did I see it on Christmas? No.

No. I randomly watched it a couple like maybe two months ago. A month. Yeah, like one or two months ago.

Mine was more like two weeks ago.

Yeah. I'm like, uh when I saw it, I knew that it was gonna be like the perfect funny horror movie for us to cover during one of those weeks that we need something to cover.

Most weeks we need something to cover.

Well, you know what I mean. Something but that's a little bit lighter or a little bit funnier that isn't as um tedious. Like sometimes, as we've covered this season, like 28 years later, 28 years later, Bone Temple, those are two movies that require like a lot of thought and process time. This is one that does not need that deep analysis. And so it was one of those weeks that it just worked out that we could do it and it wouldn't uh be overtaxing.

Yes, tax season is over.

Yeah, uh-huh. I can tell exactly what this is going to be. Uh-huh.

A podcast?

Yep. Smartass Pake is here for the podcast tonight. Okay.

When it when is he not to some degree?

Well, sometimes not as much. Today, for some reason, I'm just feeling, yeah, that you're here in your purest, most witty form to be hilarious. So I'll take it.

You'll take it. Appreciate it. Incredibly kind and loving words.

I'll get it printed on a t-shirt for you. Then you can see it all the time. We're gonna start this episode the way we always do with some production notes. Was filmed in Queensland, Australia. It is the seventh installment in the Anaconda film series. Director Tom Gornikan co-wrote the movie with Kelv Kevin Elton, with whom he frequently collaborates on projects. The budget for this one was 45 million. It grossed 135 million. It's 99 minutes long. Pake, give us a cleverly crafted synopsis.

I wouldn't I don't know if I'd call it that, but it's something. A group of friends going through various midlife crises decide to remake a favorite movie from their youth, but encounter unexpected events when they enter the jungle.

That's very interesting, Peg, because my first thought is you don't expect to encounter a snake when you enter the jungle, because that would be the first thing I would expect that you would encounter.

Yeah.

So you one that big is unexpected for sure. Yeah. Uh I think it was bigger than the one in the original Anaconda. Interestingly enough, we have skipped all the movies in the middle. And we did the first one and we did this one. Um, not all of them went to the movie theater either. Like some were direct to video, so sometimes we overlook them or or don't go down that road or venture into the jungle to address them. So I think we'll we'll definitely uh let them live where they are without us encountering them. Yeah, it's probably a good idea, honestly, that we skip them. This this second one wasn't too bad, but I stopped there.

Yeah, I d I wouldn't have, haven't seen any of them.

But I also think that they're not gonna be like tremors where there you can find the fun in each of the movies no matter what. I just feel like yeah, they're probably all gonna get real rough, and I yeah, I don't really feel the need to to check them out.

Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, we got plenty of other stuff to do.

We do. Tons of others, especially this year, because I've looked at the list, I keep adding to it. Just this year alone, the number of horror movies coming out, plus like the level, like they're good, solid horror movies. Yeah, there are many coming out this year. And so, yeah, there's no reason to dive into something that I don't know if I want to put our listeners through. So let's not let's let's protect Catherine from it. Not gonna make you watch it, Catherine. Although I will say this I would like to see the Quatch in its entirety. Yeah, and we can cover that. Like, I'm interested in that because I think that could be fun. Um yeah, so we might as well just jump into it. It's kind of one of those ensemble cast or character things where there's really not a lot to break out because they're together most of the time. There are only a couple little side quests here and there, but those aren't even very long.

Yeah. So we'll uh go with the style of in the order I took my notes, which is great because then when I'm done watching and taking notes, I'm done. I don't have to compile into any other sub-lists. So works for me.

You prefer that, I know. You like to keep things simple like that. And this is one of those movies that it really like lends itself very easily to to that format. So I think we're good.

So we'll we'll go chronological, but again, try not to recap too much, but touch on stuff and and talk about what what we liked and things that happened.

I can tell you, and I'm not gonna tell you what it is, but there was probably the one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a movie to place in this one. Um I can't wait to talk about it. It's made me laugh so hard.

There's there's some major comedy moments that I think and I'll talk about them that I think cross over the line a little bit from really like stupidly funny to just stupid at a point. And I think they they walk that tightrope in this one for sure in a couple of moments.

They really do. They really do. I question what they were thinking. Because it's not really necessary, but then it's like, no, throw it in if you want to, I don't care.

Why not? It was it was nice to watch this for the first time with Riley, because then those moments were made much more fun by his reactions to them.

So I did he love it? Did he love the comedy? Because I feel like for sure. Because some of it was just downright silly. But then there were a couple of heart more heartwarming moments, like they were specific things that I thought, you know, everybody needs friends like these. Ones that will go to bat for you and go on adventures with you like that for sure.

Dead squirrels in your mouth. Yeah.

Oh my god.

You know, all of those things.

That's what you hope for. The best you can hope for is someone to shove a dead squirrel in your mouth.

Who doesn't like that?

Number one on the bucket list.

Mm-hmm. I think all of us, since we were young children, go one day find someone who'll shove a dead squirrel in my mouth in that level of devotion.

Yep. I will be blessed.

Yep.

Oh man. Okay, so first off, Doug McAllister, played by Jack Black, he's making wedding videos, only films. He's trying to make things special for the bride and groom. Like he wants to make something a little bit different, not the usual, you know, flair that wedding videos have where those are those special memories of cutting the cake, jumping up and down. There's some jumping photo jumping in the video, you know, dinosaurs chasing you in the background, creatures slithering. Oh wait, no. No, that's his vision of what the video should look like.

He's trying to make artistic short films.

Yes, but you know what? I would want him to do my video because it was freaking funny. Super funny. It would be memorable, that's for sure.

Absolutely. Because yeah. Because he's like, it's something you're gonna watch forever. If you do something like that, you are. Because who's really watching just the cut and dry regular wedding videos? Nobody's watching.

I mean, we could be wrong, Peg, and now we're gonna get mail from our listeners about how much they cherish their own wedding videos. If you have watched your wedding video more than five times since you got married, let us know.

Mm-hmm. And then would you watch it more if there was a monster in it?

I would.

It would definitely make it more interesting.

Yeah. But yeah, he's he's trying to throw his ideas in here, but nobody really wants to take them, so you can see he's not really feeling fulfilled, but it's a living.

I I can't even the B plus life, because that's what you should hope for. A B plus life. I felt bad for Doug at that point because I his boss is just trying to kind of placate him and make him feel better, or you know, all of this, I'm retiring soon. All this could be yours.

Everything that the sun touches will be yours.

Only thing is it doesn't seem very magical, does it? And it definitely wasn't very magical to Doug. But he does put his family first. That is something that I really appreciated from his character. Because I feel like in other Jack Black movies, he always plays these characters that come up with the crazy ideas to go do things. And he's not, I don't feel like he's often the one on the other side, the one that's saying, No, no, no, I need to do this instead. Like the straight man, like the the person being responsible. He's not like that. I don't feel like his characters are like that often. And so this was interesting to see him in a role where he's like a voice of reason versus the voice of, come with me, and you'll see a land of pure imagination. Which is kind of what we got from Paul Rudd's Griff.

Yes, Griff, uh struggling, aspiring actor. Uh he's struggling at just his aspirations. Uh he just gets in his own way, and yeah, we just see him like str yeah, struggling is great. Yeah, just really trying hard and not getting anything out of it. And so he kind of is the one that comes up with this idea. So as we get Doug reuniting with all of his childhood friends or right here at his surprise birthday party, Griff shows up, comes from LA, makes it out to Buffalo, uh, and shows the movie that they all made together, The Quatch.

Which I would love to cover on this podcast because I think it would be fun.

All of the bleeps and all.

How many times can you say fuck as a child? Except the teacher made them bleep them out in order to show them at school, which I found hilarious. So the only copy that exists is the one that is stuck in a VCR that's a TV VCR combo.

Yeah, and so after watching this together, it's kind of reliving this moment and seeing how happy they all were there. And they they bonded over movies, not just movie making, but then as they're kind of meeting up the next day over brunch or lunch or whatever, and talking about their love, their shared love of Anaconda, the movie.

Uh of all the movies.

And quoting it and and all of these things. And and Griff is so desperate for the glory days, um, that spoiler alert, uh, for the reveal later, but yeah, he just lies to his friends about having the rights to the movie so that they can remake it. Because he's just trying to relive that, and he's like, what if I just get everybody out of here? What can I say to get us back together again and make things feel like they did when we were kids? Claire and Kenny, surprisingly, I guess, you're just on board almost immediately. But again, as we said, these like crises, because you know, Doug's dealing with like career and like happiness. Griff is just again, just trying to find footing. Claire's going through a divorce. Kenny is whatever Kenny's doing.

Kenny is Kenny. He's a complicated person. Buffalo Sober.

Yes. I love it so much. I love some Steve Zahn. I always love Steve Zahn. Uh, but it's one of my favorite little things for him there. It's Buffalo Sober, just beer and wine. And then some of the lighter liquors. Nef definitely not all of them. It's great.

But he had to be Buffalo Sober because he he got fired from the video agency by Doug for knocking the cake over at a wedding. Because he was drunk. Or high. Or both. Probably.

Yeah. So yeah, as you said, it's it's strange that Jack Black's character of Doug is the one that's trying to be mature and responsible and is like, actually, no, we don't we can't do this. I can't do this. I can't leave my family and all of that. But then even his wife is trying to like talk him into it. She's trying to convince him to go for it. Like, I see how happy you are, you just go do it. Um, but he's like, no, I need to be here for y'all. And then it doesn't take long, because then he's faced with the monotony of his job once he's back the next day or later, you know, editing his video for these people that didn't like what he wanted to do, and then he's just realizing he doesn't want to wait for their lives to be over. He wants to know right now what will it be? So he's in.

So interesting they used that song because that was the theme song to Dawson's Creek, and Dawson was a filmmaker, and like it all ties in that way.

Yeah.

Um I honestly loved Doug's wife, Mailee, and his son Charlie. The support that they they were just so supportive of him. And you could tell even during the party, Mailey's looking at him watching the Quatch with his friends and realizing just how happy he is and how he's so lit up from the inside.

Yeah.

And I just love that she told him to go do it because often I feel like in some relationships, you don't always have a partner that's willing to push you to do something for yourself, even when you want to do it, but you feel like you have to be responsible. Um, or even just to be supportive at all in in something that's a dream that you have. I think it's important to encourage each other. And I just appreciated that. Plus, Ioni Skye, someone I watched as a teenager in movies. She was in the river's edge, she was in Say Anything. I think everyone remembers her from Say Anything. Great to see her in a role in this movie, and she looks fantastic, so I love that. Yeah, I love that she just told him to go, that it was okay. Giving him permission to go.

Yeah.

Without giving him permission, through encouragement instead. Yeah. I just appreciated that. To me, it showed that they have a really solid relationship.

Yeah.

So I liked that.

So again, it didn't the turnaround doesn't take too long, and then he's in and they start planning, and they've got a lot of work ahead of them, but the plan is on. This movie's gonna have themes and everything. So got a lot of work to do.

It's also gonna cost over two million dollars, but that's not gonna happen when you can only get a bank loan for $9,000. Oh man.

Yeah. I guess Claire's bankrolling a lot. She seems to be pretty loaded, so that's good. I guess.

I don't know. She's a lawyer, though, so I feel like maybe she makes pretty good money, so she's able to do that.

That works. Uh yeah, so they'll take off the world's greatest Doug Award. Uh, I do like that. It does come back, but also it's just like a little thing. Because like you told him it should say dad, and it's like, whatever, it was funny. I was like, You're right, Charlie, it is funny. I like World's Greatest Doug. That's great.

He takes after his dad, I think, a little bit.

Well, you see how much he's just like so sucked in. He's like, when when Doug comes home, he's like watching the quatch again. Like, apparently his son has just been like glued to this TV, just watching this over and over again. Like, which is honestly kind of cute. It's like he's just very like it probably is igniting something in him that he's like, oh, this is something I maybe he wants to do, something he's passionate about, but also like this bonding or like connection to his dad of like you were fun, like you know exactly, because I feel like there's an age that kids get where they think, oh, mom and dad are lovely.

I love my mom and dad, but then they hit this age and it's like, oh no, mom and dad are awful, they're annoying. They hit that age, but I feel like it is a way for him to look at something his father has done. Look at his at his father in a movie. Like as a as a kid, and really see who his father was as a kid, I think, is just really special.

Yep. So the trip is on, and they get thrown right into the thick of it uh pr pretty early. They get there, immediately meeting Santiago, who is quite the character, uh, but a good dude. Uh, underneath it all. A little weird, but a good guy. Um, but it's the the runaway Anna that we started the movie really with, uh, even before meeting the other characters, is we see her kind of running from these guys that we assume are the bad guys, but again, spoiler, it's for something we'll learn later. They're actually the good guys that are trying to stop her, the criminal. Um, but they're chasing her this whole movie, and they get thwarted because of the Anaconda movie title. Here we go. Uh yeah, so as they meet Santiago and they're just kind of gets things set up, Anna runs across them, steals the actual captain's keys to that boat. Uh, under these like false pretenses, she can't get them to get off the boat, so she's like, I'm part of the team now. Okay, let's go. Just whatever. We have to leave.

Yeah. She I think really felt like she had no choice. She had to take them because it was the only way to get them out of her face. Or rather, to get them out of her way so that she could get away from the police that were coming after her.

And I liked kind of the the foreshadowing, because when they first meet Santiago and he's talking about, you know, him and Haytor, and he mentions the the illegal gold mining and that being a detriment to the environment and to the snakes and all this stuff. So you're like, they set that up already. With Anna then the next person they meet right after that being the one who's doing that secretly. Uh maybe it's we don't get any real like there's a lot of plot that is left out because it's just kind of an hour and a half comedy horror movie. But I wonder, it's like, is all this gold mining that's been like stuff like Anna and her people maybe that's the reason big boy's out and about in this? Movie?

Like I don't know. I think Big Boy is quite a name for that snake. That's a good one. Maybe that's just what we'll call him for the next the rest of the movie here. I mean, they could be responsible. I mean, her and Paolo, who we never see again.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

No, yeah, no. I think he probably became dinner for Big Boy the snake. I'm quite I'm quite sure.

Also, I uh kind of not really backtracked, but just random note. Uh Tandy Way Newton, her American accent was so convincing that I honestly took an embarrassingly way too long of a time for me to even figure out was her.

I love her. She is so fantastic in whatever she's in. I just love her. She's one of those actresses that you have seen her in so many things, but she's still kind of like a chameleon when it comes to voices and accents. I can't believe, though, that it took you a while to figure out that it was.

Way too long.

No, she's great.

Yeah. So they're making the movie, doing their thing. Uh Griff's got his character down. I'd be lying if I said I haven't done that with a toothpick at least once in my life.

I wondered about that.

Mm-hmm.

It looks painful.

You flip it and then it gets cut. Yeah, not fun. Ow. Um. Santiago Santiago's hilarious, like the snake POV the right way. Take two.

Take two. I love that. I honestly liked Santiago. He did not survive long enough for me in this movie. I thought he was great.

He's fine.

He was dinner.

He's fine. He's alive at the end of the movie. He's fine.

He's not alive at the end of the movie.

Very much is. You must not have watched long enough.

What? Is there a deleted scene?

The post-credits.

No way! He's not alive.

There's a post-credit scene where he sits up on the ground and is like, guys, Doug, Griff, where is everybody?

No, you're making this up.

I am not. I wouldn't I would never do anything like that ever in my life. I only speak full truths, no sarcasm, no jokes. I've never told a lie or fib or story in my entire life. I wouldn't.

As your nose starts growing like fucking Pinocchio right now. You've gotta be kidding me.

But Santiago is alive and well.

I'm going to look. I've been around you and Jerry and Jeff so much.

It seems just like such a weird thing for me to make up, though, right?

I know, but you like to get a rise out of me.

But this is the part now, is you not knowing that, not watching the post-credit scene, and then me getting to pick on you about it. That's the rise that I'm getting. So that's what's worth it.

I didn't know there was one! It's not a Marvel movie.

More more movies than Marvel have them. A lot do.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Oh my god!

He's alive!

That is amazing. Oh my gosh. So you were right. You actually were were you were telling me the truth.

What did I say? I would never lie ever, ever, ever in my whole life. Ever.

Uh you would. Um you'd want to get a rise out of me, because it's what you, Jav and Jerry do all the time. I stand corrected. He is alive. Wow. That is wonderful. I I stand corrected. I did love though when he yes. He didn't seem to like when Kenny was uh trying to emulate a snake point of view, and so he got down there. I mean Santiago, he was in tune with the snake with Haytor, and he he was in tune with it. Like Haytor was like his child, not biological, but adopted child. I felt bad for him when Hayator made an unfortunate end. By accident. I mean it really was an accident, but I still didn't like it. It was sad for for Santiago. You could tell he was destroyed. I mean, snakeity snake.

Snakeity snake. Yeah, so yeah, movies going great. You they set it up again, you see Claire and Griff having some clear chemistry, probably since they were kids. I think you even see in some of that when the the quats footage. But here, now that she's freshly separated from her husband, um kind of rekindling that. Also, I would just love to be hanging out on that boat. That boat was really cool.

It really was a cool boat. It looked very clean and neat and just comfortable. Like, you like you'd just be chilling. Would not need to be in a place where they were all these snakes and other, you know, things to attack you. Like, I don't need that, but I'd love to be on a boat. My sister has a pontoon boat, and so we go out on the lake every summer, and it's really nice, but it's it doesn't look like this. This is like a mansion boat compared to her hers, but uh yeah.

Boats are fun. Uh double headbutt is truly revolutionary, and I hope that they found a way to get it in there. Um, and then they're all showing off their headbutt techniques, and Anna's just surrounded by insane people. I love that. Just like they're all so different. Toma! Um and then she's just you just I love the little just shot of Anna sitting there, like, what have I done? Who why am I on the boat with these people? Out of all the boats I could have stolen, I fucked up.

Yes. She she has told them that this is her father's boat and they have to cancel the booking, but that's not the truth. And it's them begging her to take them where they need to go because they don't have a backup plan. There's no other money, there's no other anything. That this is all they have for this. And she just they wear her down because she really doesn't have time to be fighting with them. Not with the po-po on her ass.

Mm-hmm. Did like Kator while we had him. Uh he does get out of the crate, take a little flither around the boat, and uh Griff's not so happy about that.

No.

And the others are a little concerned, but Santiago's unbothered. It's all under control. And for the thing he says, his little saying, I don't know why, but I'm a big fan of it for some reason. May the sounds of the forest be the music of your dreams.

No. Probably not. Not unless it's it's rain or birds. I don't want any of the other sounds of the forest.

Nighttime forest sounds are more bugs and frogs. Yeah.

So um, yeah, not my not my thing, really. I think I'll Yeah, no, that's not for me. We know that.

Yep. But then Griff is scared of Hator, so he murders him. What the hell?

By accident.

So we say. No, I'm kidding.

Well, when they're doing that scene, and he just throws him, he goes flying into the water and gets stuck in the propeller, and that was that was sad because Santiago is obviously devastated. And I just I felt bad for him because he had like a synergy with that snake.

Yeah.

He nursed him back to health, he, you know, took care of him, even though when they were first meeting Haytor, they were all like, Oh, he's cute, and then he jumps at the box and they all freak out thinking he's gonna attack them. And Santiago was like, No, no, no.

The snake does get a Viking funeral, so that's nice.

You know, I thought that was really special. And I also like that Santiago was willing at least to hear Griff like talk about, you know, be being apologetic about what happened. And Santiago's not afraid to mix pills with beer. Like, he's like, no.

Like that is like that answer. He was like, Well, I'm taking my pills. Yeah, let's mix it up. Like, all right, party. Uh, with the the feds, the police, whatever, close behind them. So is the true monster conda. Everything's closing in. But yeah, I will say good on Griff for reaching out to Santiago and trying to make it right. And they do end up kind of bonding a bit, which then leads to Griff being wrangled into wandering the waters in search of a replacement snake. Right then, right now.

Uh he is not the person that I would have taken out there because he obviously is terrified of snakes. Like he does not like them. They freak him out. Kenny, I think, would have been a better choice. Better yet, give Kenny one of your pills, Santiago, and then take him out there. And you might have a good time.

Yeah. As Griff is wont to do, just fully abandon Santiago. I mean, it's scary out there. Very snaky.

Yes. Incredibly snaky.

Uh, and so with Griff going back to the boat, Santiago's out there on his own. He does find a snake out there. It's just a bit more snake than he was prepared for, I think.

Yeah, more snake for your buck, I guess. He was very big. Again, I don't know if he's bigger than the one in the first movie, but I feel like he might be bigger than the one in the first movie.

It seems like he probably I don't know. It's been a little while, but probably.

Yeah. I think so.

Um Yeah, and they're back. Kenny's getting crossfaded over here, enjoying the chair a lot. Speaking of intergenerational trauma, Doug, um Kenny's got some serious parent stuff that he should probably be talking to a therapist about, whatever it is. Uh uh. It just kind of comes up. It's one of those, it's a great little comedy bit where it's just like very subtle. Because again, we're going back to like when they're at the diner, and it's like, and the snake was a metaphor for things we were going through at the time, and they're all looking at him weird, and he's like, you know, like, you know, being off of your parents' insurance, and then your parents it's like, okay, there's something. And then he's sitting there with the like when he's high, like in the chair, and he's just like, and it holds you. Unlike when your parents do. And it's like, okay, dude's got some issues.

Chairs, they hold you. They literally have arms. And honestly, at that point, I thought we were gonna be taking on his drug-induced hallucination where the arms of the chair were just gonna rise up and completely consume him and pull him down.

I love you, Kenny.

Like something out of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. I don't know. Or the mighty boosh. Um. Yeah. But Doug is not happy because he realizes Kenny's high again and Griff will really wants them to go out and try to find Santiago, which I totally get. But Kenny is, yeah, no, it is it is not pretty. He's on another plane by himself.

But they all do go out looking for him, and I mean they do find him. Uh so we learned anacondas do sometimes regurgitate their prey. See it a few times here. Uh, but it's already the halfway point of the movie, and we have first contact between main characters and main monster snake. Took a while.

Yeah, it did. It it took a while. I have to tell you that when Doug was fixing the van and he puts the hood down, and the ra and I almost said raptor, it just reminded me about Clever Girl. I'm like, oh my god. There's the the head of the snake. It's like, yep, this is Jurassic Park right here. Clever girl all over again. It was great. And then Doug sa uh Doug says, It was a di it was like a dinosaur. It's like, yes, it was. It was like a raptor, only infinitely bigger than a raptor, more of a raptor-like creature the size of a T-Rex.

Well, even um, and I feel like we get kind of a nod to the T-Rex in the rear view mirror as well.

Yes, yeah. I felt I felt some love. I appreciated it as a huge fan of Jurassic.

Really? You are? You've never said anything about that.

I know, I know it's a surprise.

Who would have guessed it?

Yeah. But this is when um Anna's telling them things like, well, the people that are chasing us, they're the gold miners, they're the illegal ones. It's not her, it's them. Like, we need to get away from them, they're gonna kill us. And they're snowed, like they don't know any different. They're very um naive.

Yeah, for sure.

I feel like they, for the most part, other than Griff going to LA, they've lived in Buffalo, so they're used to the same like community, same atmosphere, same everything. And so to be in a different place, you sometimes have to be a little more skeptical and a little bit more aware of what's going on around you and know that it's different than maybe the environment you're used to.

Don't just believe somebody when they tell you there's a post-credit scene.

I'm never gonna live this down, am I? Uh-huh.

Yeah, shit gets very real out there. Uh and so yeah, when they get back, the team's like, okay, we're just gonna we leave, and Anna says there's like a airport and a place we can get to on this stop. But uh Doug is also struck with new inspiration because they have the badass Anna here now, so we still have some time to shoot before we have to leave. We've got a little bit of this trip left, so we're gonna rewrite some stuff and and get some new ideas.

Uh not necessarily as well received as he probably had hoped, because I think this makes Griff a little bit jealous and realizing that even though he had a more starring role in this movie, he was kind of being relegated to the background versus being in this story with him and Claire and their relationship and their characters in this movie.

Yeah.

In the movie, not the movie. In in the anaconda, in the anaconda, not anaconda, which is the movie we're talking about right now.

My nose is bleeding real quick now. My brain just no the movie within a movie.

So they're shooting the anaconda.

What? It's just kidding. This wasn't a movie the whole time?

Oh my god. Sometimes it's better not to bother to try to explain. Sometimes it's better just to be quiet.

I thought this was a documentary about a movie. About a movie.

No. No.

The musical. Anyway.

Anna Conda the musical?

Yes.

Oh my goodness. Peg, I'd like you to write the music for it. Can you write some songs? I'm sure you could. Maybe not like on the fly, but I'm sure that you could.

Mm-hmm.

Alright, no. I was like, I'm trying to think about no. I don't have time to think of musical numbers right now.

But you want to. I know, I can see it.

Maybe. Yeah, so yeah, the Griff's not super happy about that, but there's also some good ideas. We have themes now. Again, we with we can tie in the social element of the gold mining and things like that. And, you know, Kenny does make a good point. The Academy has lately been embracing social horror more. So we've talked about that. We love our Oscar spe uh season around here. Uh the white Jordan Peel line is funny. Although because I get very in the weeds about Oscar stuff, I did have to be like, I mean, it's a good line, but I was like, Peel hasn't gotten any Academy recognition since Get Out.

So it's He sh I mean I've Nope was a masterpiece. We've talked about it. Was fantastic, and us was a really clever idea, too.

I love all of those movies. Yeah. Um, so yeah, you say Griff is upset with Doug, he's switching focus to Anna. I mean, we gotta have a little internal drama, right? But then Doug immediately can get mad at Griff right back because as they're having this conversation and this argument, a full Hollywood production floats on by and they're filming Anaconda with the rights that Griff lied about having.

Again, Griff, he had a good reason. Like, he wanted to get his friends back together. And I think re-watching the Quatch together like started that, but I also think that Griff's life in LA isn't all unicorns and rainbows. He really needed to recapture some of that magic that he had in his childhood, teenage years with his friends. He really needed that.

He needed to go back to feeling, you know, those feelings because it's yeah, it's totally okay to drag your friends to another country to break copyright and IP infringement laws.

No, it isn't. I'm just saying that I understand where he was coming from. He he just wanted to recapture the magic. I mean, I don't think that you can recapture it in Snowy Buffalo if it's supposed to be a movie about the rainforest.

And it should have been the Quatch too.

How about we take the Quatch from the short film that it was and create a longer version? You know, like Mama or Smile or a bunch of others that we've covered on here.

Quatch 2. Or the jungle quatch. Quatch 2, ain't that a kick in the quatch? I don't know. There's a lot of different ideas it could be.

Alright. Yeah. Sure. Ugh.

Uh and then Griff quits fired is the terminology I guess we can we can use there.

But not without telling Doug that he should call the movie Anna Conda because of Anna.

Very clever. That's why he's the actor, not the writer. Uh and leaves the group. I mean, he figures maybe the actual Anaconda production can get him home, except he finds that boat and it's had a run-in with Sneaky McSnakerson.

Uh, not that long after it went past them, either, right? Like it seemed like it might have been 30 minutes after it went by that it was doing that. It's like everything is just completely destroyed. And there's no one there, except for this one woman who was actually like the personal assistant or whoever who told them that they were shooting Anaconda. And uh Griff thinks he can save her, but no.

No. That's a hard nope after she gets nabbed. And he does it. He does. Leaves. Never mind.

Nope. This does not seem like a very good idea. Um even before that though, he had this conversation with Claire where they were talking about, you know, what happened in their lives, and he's really honest about I've got nothing to show for myself. I don't have a family, I don't have a career, I've not done anything that matters. Um I'm just, you know, I'm gonna go here and and see if I can get home. I'm done with this. And Claire top basically says to him, it's never too late to to get those things in your life. It's it's not too late. You don't have to give up. You can you can try to get them now. But he just goes off on his own. And you can you can tell that the chemistry that has been building up throughout the movie between the two of them is really getting rekindled. She really doesn't want him to leave, and she is afraid for him being out there by himself.

Scary things out there, like a big snake.

Yeah. Real big snake.

Slightly oversized.

Yes. It's not gonna fit in your carry-on. Or even the box that they used to keep Haytor in.

I don't know how Haytor fit in that box, honestly.

I don't blame him for trying to get out of it, right?

Mm-hmm.

That was a very small box.

So while Griff is out and about before he gets back, we meanwhile. Back at the ranch, we get the official heel reveal for Anna, because she's the actual illegal gold miner, and uh Zhao, the guy that was after her, was actually the good guy all along. Too bad Griff doesn't know that when he shows up and wounds him and shoots him.

He tries to be Rambo and save the day, is what he tries to do. He's got like a bandana on his head, like he he found this gun, which was Jao's gun, and he wants to like be in charge, and no. Not a good idea. Definitely not a good idea.

Yes, because then R.A.P. Kopf guy, but then R.A.P. Anna. Uh Claire is a good actor, though. She definitely was I don't even have kids.

I love that line. For the record, that's how you headbutt, bitch. That was also another line I loved from her.

Yep.

I loved that. It was great.

So they're free from Anna, but now they don't really have the boat and everything else that they had, so wandering around on their own.

They can't they can't decide where the boat is. They just don't know where the boat is after this. Okay? I'm not sure why they lost track of it.

Because so the movie can happen. Ryan George would say.

Absolutely.

And then the ridiculous comedy bit, the most most ridiculous over-the-top comedy bit of the movie, I think. I need one of your pisses. Um somebody peeing on a spider bite. It's not helpful. No. No, Griff, not all animals. Actually, not any animals. Not even jellyfish. That's a myth. It was created by some kinky liar in history, I assume.

But we learned this great thing. Poor Kenny suffers from urinary stage fright. And he also can only pee sitting down. So the whole situation.

Yeah, the whole pea shy story. The the hard pivot into stupid is where this just is where it went. I was like, okay, sure.

Again, whiz on me. Whiz on me.

On like second watch by myself, I was more in the like, this is dumb, let's make this different. Um, so I will say, at least on first watch, having Riley appreciating the stupid humor more made it a better first watch. Cause yeah, then again, like watching it again today on like on my own. I was like, This is dumb.

Incredibly dumb. Incredibly dumb. Kenny is miraculously able to whiz sitting down.

I mean, just oh my god. It's like such a hard pivot. Because we have like all like the death and like Anna turning on them and then them escaping. And then it just immediately into this scene, and it feels like whiplash a little bit. You're like, what okay, we're doing this now, sure. I could have used a little like r warming up for this.

We breathe for two seconds, please, because this was like boom, here we go. And then Doug and Griff are having this moment where Doug's talking to him about being jealous that Griff went to LA because he went for it, and then suddenly the anaconda appears and takes Doug, and you're just like, they can't kill him off in this. This is too funny a movie. We just had whizzing on a body part. How can that be happening?

I know. I hate whenever I pee on somebody and then they die minutes later because I feel like my pee was wasted.

I know that's exactly what you were thinking when you were.

I mean, all of us have been there, right?

But still ever, you know, at least once a year.

Yeah, but it's frustrating.

You should never celebrate any breakthrough of any kind because something bad is probably gonna happen a second later. But I will say this. They go, they they keep going, they go to this field, and I'm just like, oh my god, okay, so it's the raptors again, because I figure the ra that there's gonna be something in the field that will come and get them because it just reminded me of Don't go in the tall grass. Don't go in the tall grass. It's like, nope, nope, nope, nope. And then I have to tell you the most ridiculous thing. I have never seen anything more ridiculous in a movie in quite some time.

Mm-hmm. The entire distraction bit. Uh also incredibly stupid comedy, but more effectively funny to me, I think. Uh I think it helps because it's Jack Black, because he is just kind of the king of dumb physical comedy.

Oh my god.

But yeah, it it's it's a perfect storm of so stupid that it circles back around. Like, it is funny again. Waking up with the boar strapped to his back and the squirrel in his mouth, and he immediately having to run from the snake. It's it's ridiculous, but but fun. And then you they have to take it just one more step within the boar waking up while strapped to him. Like, oh my god.

I honestly expected the squirrel to be running behind them.

Yeah.

I don't know that I've ever seen anything so ridiculous. I mean, and we've covered 250 plus movies on this podcast, and this I just don't know. I the pick the boar on his back, how he was running with it on his back, because it wasn't a 10-pound boar on him, okay? Let's be realistic to what was actually happening, okay? He had a boar strapped to his back.

As you do.

As you do when you're out in the jungle. Yeah. When the boar woke up, that I lost it. I couldn't stop laughing. And and I don't like comedy bits. Like, I'm not the biggest comedy fan. This is an ongoing joke.

Which you hate because you hate comedy, so the fact that it's a joke makes it even worse.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It does. Um, but this and and the running and and the boar, and uh there was something about him running, and and I just couldn't. Yeah.

Yeah.

And then he woke up and I'm just like. And then there's this whole discussion about who decided to put the squirrel in his mouth. Kenny, there's no question. Even if they hadn't shown us who did it, you know who did it.

I mean, come on.

You knew it was you.

Yeah.

Yeah. They like squirrel meat. Snakes like squirrel meat. How do you know that, Kenny? You didn't tell us how you knew that.

Kenny's just such a well of information.

Oh, yes. Deep as they go. Empty.

So the next place they wind up on another the set of this new Anaconda movie, again, that's also been just I was like, this snake keeps attacking the Anaconda sets and crew. It probably I don't was like, what is this snake's deal with the movie? And I was like, it probably feels like his culture's being appropriated or something. He's just like watching him film and he was like, that's racist, and then he attacks them and kills them all.

That isn't how we are. You're per you're presenting us in a way that isn't authentic to who we are as a species. I feel the need to shut you down.

Yeah. It makes sense to me.

Yeah.

And yeah, so while they're here, and then the Anaconda shows up, and then we get one hell of a cameo stepping in for the save.

My gosh. I remember the first time I watched this, my jaw dropped to the ground. Like I was so shocked when Ice Cube showed up.

Yep.

And then when he said, Who did you think it was John Voigt? I lost it again. I'm like, uh, they wanted so they wanted to have John Voigt and um Owen Wilson in this too.

Yeah.

But they couldn't, he knew that he couldn't bring them back because their characters died in the original movie. So they they did some other things that were really cool, which bringing in Ice Cube I thought was great.

Yeah. So Ice Cube was back for the new movie, but in a meta way, because he's also back for the new movie in real life. Uh as himself, not as his character, but then in the movie, in the movie, he's his character. And now my nose is bleeding again, my brain's bleeding.

Again, and it is a documentary musical about uh Well, and Claire and Kenny were more concerned about where's Jayla, where's Eric Stoltz?

Well, Jenny from the block.

Jenny from the block, she's gonna be okay, but Eric's not from the block.

Yeah. Yeah, Eric Stoltz is named in this movie, but not shown. So he's pretty much in this movie the same amount he was in the original, so that's good.

Yeah. I I figured they just had another injury happen to him and he's off in a room somewhere.

Yeah.

Doug is flabbergasted that they were shooting this movie before they even knew what the end was gonna be. Like he can't understand that. I also questioned when they were talking about the pyrotechnics. I just kept thinking, pyrotechnics, yes, they I'm sure that they could hurt the snake, but it's not the same thing as dynamite to blow it to shit.

Like the movie set pyro is for visual effect for the most part. So the fact that it doesn't work uh isn't really that surprising. Um yeah, but they've got the movie set, they've got it's loaded with pyro charges, so I mean, time to kill two birds, well, one snake with one movie. The analogy's not perfect, but it's there. Kill the snake, finish the movie in one go.

Yeah. And they got everything set up to do it, like they get the lights on and then the cameras, and I'm like, cause he's gonna film it, because he's gonna want the footage, because then they can make their movie with it. I mean, he's using footage from all sorts of different things. He's got a camera, and then he's got Kenny with his phone, and yeah, so this time it's some other cameras. I yeah, I'm not really sure. It's all coming together though.

He's got his like Adobe movie studio. He'll he'll get it all figured out.

He'll get it all worked out. I I don't know how, but okay.

Yeah, the plan it takes some work. There's some hiccups, but it's eventually it's a wrap. Uh complete with a nod to the masterpiece known as the Quatch.

Yes.

Griff gets to come out Not on my watch, mister.

And shoots the snake and blows it up until the head comes alive, which don't know what that's about, but okay. What on earth?

And then the his Doug's award from his son came in handy there.

Yes. Who even knew that that it would to take out the head of the snake? I mean I don't know.

To cut the head off the snake, you have to be the world's greatest Doug.

Yep. That's the only way you can. So if your name's not Doug, I'm sorry. Can't do it.

Mm-hmm. But they did finish the movie, they showed it, and immediately got shut down by Sony. So that's that's great. But Doug is approached by JLo to direct the official remake.

So that's I had no idea she was gonna show up at the door when she when it was her, I was just wow. Like, Ice Cube wasn't enough. You had to get J Lo. Okay. That's great.

And then Santiago lives, so get him a role in the new movie, too.

Please. Ugh. The Anaconda. But I and Doug quoted Kenny, but not quite the same quote when they were um when he and Griff were standing up there talking about the Anaconda. Talking about the snake is a metaphor for the monsters that come for all of us if our dreams remain unrealized. And I'm like, that actually is a really powerful quote and much more profound than what Kenny's how Kenny said it earlier. And we get little updates. Somebody wouldn't let them release it. Claire and Griff get married. Doug directs their wedding film, or rather, the proposal, which is like from Alien, which is cool. Griff went back to be on SWAT, so his character was brought back in. And Kenny succeeded in some ways, but just couldn't help himself in others. Meaning public urination in a bathroom or restroom in front of other people, standing out. Which I didn't really need that to be the last images, really, of him in this movie. Um I loved when they wanted the selfie with Ice Cube. He tells him not to post it, but of course Kenny posts it anyway, and Ice Cube's wants him to remove it. And then Ice Cube had to go and rescue J Lo and Eric Stoltz. Mostly Eric Stoltz. J Lo, you know, Jenny from the block. I love the music in this movie too. Kickstart my heart by Molly Crue when they were when the snake was chasing them in the golf cart, and they were fighting over golf cart technology and the governor, which is basically this thing that reduces how fast a car can go. I always thought my dad did something in my car, my first car, and made it so it couldn't go any faster than it would go. Because he had I figured he didn't want me going that fast. At least that's what my friends told me was the problem. I don't know. Now I'm wondering. Then back in black for when Ice Cube appeared, which was great. Um and then I don't want to wait. We heard that a couple of times, but when they four of them were coming out of where the snake blew up, they were playing that, and it just made me think, oh, it's kind of Dawson's Creek. It's about friendship, it's about, you know, being together with your friends and having those memories. So I'm looking at my notes to see if there's anything that we didn't talk about. A couple of things. This isn't the first time that Jack Black has worked with Paul Rudd. They were on the legend Anchor Man, Legend of Ron Berkaday, Walker, the Dewey Cox story, and year one. The director and the writer kind of watched all the Anaconda movies before they did this one. And their original script had tie-ins to the other sequels. Didn't really go over as well, so then they took those all out.

Yeah, because nobody's seen them and nobody cares. So why would you why worry about it? Just focus on nodding to the original, because that's the one that people care about.

Yeah. And Doug McAllister calling his movie The Anaconda. It's kind of like. I mean, we've seen that with other movies that have come out that have been kind of sequels or reboots, like The Final Destination, The Predator, The Suicide Squad, The Batman, The Wolverine, like all of those movies. Like it's it's a more common thing that we've seen more recently. Um, but I think that's it.

Yeah.

I feel like this was a fun one, and if you want a movie that you can put in and just kind of laugh and see really silly things, it's definitely one that that will um tick all those boxes. Plus, there are some cool cameos.

Yeah, it was fun. Like, it's a lot of the the rating, the Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings and stuff are not great. And that was even when it came out in theaters, because I was excited for it to come out in theaters to go see it. And then the first like week or two went by and I was seeing the reviews and stuff, and I ended up not watching it in theaters and not waiting until more recently to even see it. And I mean, I'm not that I say you should always do that because you know, watch stuff you want to watch anyway, because sometimes it's good. But like I was deterred from like spending my time and money at the movie theater whenever I was like, oh, apparently it's not great. And I I won't say that those aren't warranted or super warranted. I think it kind of lands in the middle where it's like, yeah, it's not the greatest horror comedy movie ever made. It's got its flaws, for sure, by the ton, but it's also, like you said, it's it's fun. And it's it does its job in that that regard, I think. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's it's fun.

For me, it's like a snake's on the plane, like, okay, I can put this on in the background and just have it running, and and that's okay. Like, I don't have to pay attention every second. I know that's a concept you don't understand, but it's how I operate sometimes.

Yeah.

There goes the feedback phone. Wow, so uh yeah, hopefully there's some some thoughts on this one, so let's go check that out and see. Alright, we do have some feedback this week, so we'll get into that. But before we get into Anaconda feedback, we do have the first one here that is going back to last week with They Live, as we've got a message from Connor. Says, had lots of fun rewatching. Those one-liners by Hot Rod had me laughing and very confused at times. I must say this movie hits very close to true life watching in 2026. I will not be asking anyone to put on sunglasses in the near future. I don't think I'd last well in five and a half minutes street fight. Here's a pick of one of my prized possessions, and he uh added a uh they live collector's edition Blu-ray, so yeah.

Oh, I don't have that. I might need to get it. Actually, most of the stuff I watch now, it's streaming, like I just go on streaming sites and watch things. Tubi has so much on it as it is.

But you have to watch commercials on Tubi, and I hate that so much. I'm so spoiled. I'm so spoiled that.

I know.

If there's ads on a streamer, then no, then I won't do that. Why would I do that?

Yeah, but I got you to do it a couple of weeks ago for an episode that's coming up.

Yeah.

So it's okay. You can do it once in a while.

Ugh, I don't know. If that one if that while is every 10 years, and so I've done it now. I'm good.

There is a treasure trove of like 70s and 80s horror movies on Tubi. And I've gone down rabbit holes watching movies I had forgotten about. It's honestly been a riot sometimes. We did get some feedback about Anaconda. Catherine says, I was pretty devastated when the first snake was killed, but overall I like this different take on the Anaconda franchise. After the successful P, I was really hoping the snake would eat them all.

Oh my gosh.

The Snakedy Snake song was decent, but I anticipate Pake having a better rendition. Aww.

The remix will will be coming now.

Yes.

Um, we have one from Tony who just says, I wanted to love this movie, but I just didn't. Uh and you know, thanks for the uh honesty. And no, I totally get that because I've I I get that sentimentality because it is too goofy sometimes, and it's yeah. I will say does not I was gonna say does it doesn't have the depth of the original, but I mean does the original have that much depth? I don't know. But but no, I get it. It is it leans into the comedy a lot, and so if that's not what you're going in there for, then I get it.

Yeah, absolutely. We heard from Mark. Hello, Mark. He says, I thought it was great, I love the humor in it, plus gotta love the cameos in the movie. It was an Anaconda movie fans joke movie. Now they need a Lake Placid remake with the same humor though. Oh, but Betty White's not here, and she was the humor in the original. The original had some humor to it at times, but I would still watch it. I look forward to your thoughts on the film. TTFN, Mark.

Thanks, Mart. Then we have one for uh Kara here, who I think uh she saw host and went to uh original Anaconda, but I'll read it because we have covered that movie seasons back in the past. Um, the original Anaconda, so there's some thoughts on that. So, Kara, uh you're listening here, uh, thanks for the thoughts on that. I will read them and then also check out the new one um if you haven't. Yeah, uh, so according to so for the original Anaconda. She says, I saw this movie on my birthday in fourth grade, and it is solely responsible for my fear of snakes and the Amazon. I couldn't get enough of it. I definitely had a teeny irrational fear of being swallowed whole by an anaconda, but I was entertained. Just watched it again last week and it still holds up, honestly. So like the main characters in this movie. You know, it's it's a cult classic and a childhood favorite for a reason.

Yeah. We had fun when we covered the original movie. It was yeah, it was tons of fun. So we also have feedback, not on a movie we've covered, but basically a question from Papa HRF, which we haven't heard from you in a while, Papa HRF. So please send in feedback when when you watch a movie that we're covering. And they say, So I just got home from seeing Obsession, and holy hell, that might have been one of the best movies, not just Hora, I've seen in a long time. Did you guys cover that one yet? We have not. However, it is on our list.

So uh yeah, yeah, uh, thanks for for pointing that out. Yeah, and for that one and anybody else listening that if you want to kind of suggest certain movies and stuff, we always love to hear from that because yeah, we have fun picking and choosing what movies we want to do, but also you guys are listening, so like we want to cover the things you want to listen to.

So if you want that cranked up to 11, then you get Buffalo Buffalo. So check that out. As we just try to be as goofy as we can, make each other laugh, or groan. I don't know, whichever one, you know, we will accept both of them equally. Uh play games, have a good time.

It's fun. It started with us playing a video game every week, like just hanging out, and then we started the podcast, and I don't think we've played Fall Guys in like eight or nine months. We just talk and record and catch up with each other.

Yeah.

So that's what we do now.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, so a lot of great podcasts for you to check out. And then next week you can come right back here to run for your lives. We'll have something fun, fresh, and new for you. Daphne, what are we doing next week?

Well, moments after surviving the deadly Lodomas family ritual, Grace discovers that her nightmare is far from over when she and her estranged sister Faith become targets in a new game orchestrated by a powerful council of elite families. Yes, I'm excited. We're going back to one of my favorite movie franchises. And I guess it's a franchise. There are two now. We're going to cover Ready or Not Two, Here I Come. Was released on March 20th of this year, directed by Tyler Gillette and Matt Bettanelli Open. And we have a special guest. Penny is joining us. Penny from Still Slaying. She is a huge fan of Sarah Michelle Geller, and Sarah Michelle Geller is in this movie. So I thought she would be a great guest to have for us to chat about it.

Yeah. So definitely check that out next week. And if you have watched it or if you're going to watch it over this week, then give us some thoughts before the episode next week so we can have have you on feedback next week.

Yep. And we'll be posting the feedback posts or the feedback request posts early next week, as usual. And with that, we've reached the end of another fun episode. Thanks everyone for listening. I'm Daphne.

And I'm Pate.

And if you have to run, you better run for your lives.
