This week’s episode is packed with big headlines, fresh trailers, and a blast from the creature-feature past. We kick things off with surprising industry shakeups, including news of a new Men in Black reboot and Netflix making a bold move by buying Warner Bros., a deal that could reshape the streaming and studio landscape.

Each trailer gives us plenty to speculate on, from returning nightmares to brand-new worlds.

In our Bunch Crunch segment, we run through rapid-fire movie and TV news, including a South Korean Extraction spinoff, mutant casting news for Wonder Man, a newly announced live-action TMNT project, Scarlett Johansson heading to Gotham, Avengers: Endgame returning to theaters, and a heartfelt tribute to Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

The main event is our spoiler-filled review of Anaconda (1997), where we revisit the jungle-set creature feature that terrified a generation with its massive practical snake, over-the-top performances, and peak ’90s energy. We break down what still works, what doesn’t, and why this movie remains such a memorable piece of nostalgic horror.

We wrap things up by looking ahead at what’s coming next, teasing upcoming reviews and future episodes you won’t want to miss.
