The Desire of Horror

20. Anaconda

Charla Ferguson and Martin Essig Season 2 Episode 20

Forget whatever you think you know about anacondas, you're about to get schooled. Anaconda starts out with some very brief but essential facts about the Amazonian native, like that anacondas enjoy regurgitating their prey in cat-like play with their food, which is the Chekov's Gun of anaconda facts for this raucous romp into the jungle. And it only gets crazier from there. Thank God that the movie provides us with John Voight's sleaze ball advice on everything from snake poaching to women. While it's almost unbearable to listen to his offensive "Spanish" accent, you'll love the 1980's video game snakes that Voight gets almost everybody killed trying to capture live. Voight's offensive "Spanish" accent and overly affected slime even turn fun-guy Owen Wilson insane with the weird promise of all the loot they'll get if Wilson will only help him to capture the hyperreal reptile. Come join us for a special time with those two goofballs, as well as J. Lo., Ice Cube, and the amazing hair of 1990's Eric Stoltz.
