Really Awful Movies: Ep 429 – Megaboa

September 15, 2023

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
