We're going to carry on and plan the sequel, because let's face it, baby, these days, you've got to have a sequel.

And welcome back to Micro Queers.

It's our horror movie Roundup, and I'm Joe.

And I'm Trace.

And dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun

getting that theme in there.

Oh my god, like that's the new theme for this.

Everyone, we are discussing the reboot of Anaconda, starring Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zon, and Tanddewey Newton.

And it's not good.

Yeah, Trace was really out of it that he wanted to have a conversation about this, regardless of the quality.

So I think we both went into this hoping, oh, okay, they must be about this, regardless of the quality. So I think we both

went into this hoping, oh, okay, they must be doing this for a reason. Clearly, they have some

kind of excuse or rationale for bringing this back. And I think you were quite hopeful. I was

trepidious. And we said, well, regardless of how we feel, we'll have a conversation about it,

and unfortunately, we both came out pretty negative. Yeah. And I mean, like, I, I'm sitting at a two out of five, which even

then, I mean, I chuckled at some points in the show. There were four or five times in Anaconda's

97-minute runtime where I actually genuinely laughed. And so there are parts of

this movie that work. But yeah, it's one of those things. I saw the director, you know,

we're working with Tom Gormickin who directed that, oh, God, the unbearable weight of, oh, my God,

the unbearable weight of massive talent, that Nicholas Cage, Pedro Pascal movie. Okay. Which I also heard was high concept, but not particularly well executed. And, you know, I liked it more. I thought the humor worked better. Okay. After watching Anaconda, I'm kind of like, ooh, like maybe it was the Nick Cage, Pedro Pascal, chemistry that was really saving that movie for me.

Right.

I haven't seen it since I saw it at South by Southwest, so I can't really remember a lot of details, but I remember liking it. It was one of those like, oh, it's a good three and a half out of five movie. It's not super subversive of a revelatory, but it's a fun time. Okay, okay. I think when I came into this, I was like, yeah, honestly, I knew that you didn't like it.
