Beware Boiúna (Patreon Clip)
Summary
The hosts discuss a giant snake movie, comparing it heavily to the 1997 film *Anaconda* and noting its similarities in plot and set pieces. They debate the effectiveness of the CGI snake, arguing that the film wisely avoids excessive close-ups to maintain a *Jaws*-like tension. The conversation also covers the movie's environmentalist themes and praises the on-location filming in the Amazon for its stunning aerial visuals and sense of isolation.
