Kristian and Trevor take on the challenge of redeeming Anaconda from 1997. Is it a great monster thriller from the heart of the Amazon River, or is it left floundering in the shallows?
Can this cast be any more 90s? Can a giant snake made from a combination of animatronics and CGI work? Can the two singers survive? Can anyone tell us what Jon Voight's accent is meant to be? Is this move redeemable?
