Shin Godzilla level patron Mando (from Thematic Elements!) joins us to talk about two of his favorite 90s creature features - Anaconda and Deep Rising! We had a great time with Mando and really unearthed some of the deeper themes of these movies. Are all snakes in love with JLo? Is the Converse/sock combination the worst footwear choice for a boat? What was Roger Ebert's criteria for determining whether a giant monster movie is good or bad in the 90s? Listen to find out!
