This week on the podcast, an Aussie-US, Lionsgate-WWE Films co-production, See No Evil.

This one rests on the formidable shoulders of wrestler, Kane, the antagonist here and chief antagonist to The Undertaker during the heyday/attitude era of WWE.

Juvie/criminal types are taken to a prison work program, but rather than picking up garbage on some interstate, they’re tasked to clean up some derelict hotel.

They’re supervised by two corrections officers, and as they’re going about their duties (rather lazily, it should be said), they are being stalked…by…a giant…hulking…killer.

See No Evil, but listen to and subscribe to the podcast! New episodes are uploaded every Friday.

This week on the podcast…snakes and snake-related nature run amok flicks.

We shine the spotlight on Megaboa, a 2021 affair, featuring a prof and some grad students fending off a giant snake on a tropical island.

Unlike other animal attack genres, snake horror flicks have yet to produce a bona fide classic, a la Jaws (sharks), Backcountry (bears), Alligator (gators) or Cujo (dogs).

Ever wonder why that is?

Anyway, let’s take a deep dive into this one, shall we?

Topics discussed:

  • The killer snake genre
  • Eric Roberts and his oeuvre
  • Other animal attack genres
  • The prevalence/ubiquity of anthropology professors in horror
