The Rufus Project Redeeming Features Cast: Anaconda (1997)

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? Listen on and find out! Did we miss any redeeming features?  Do you think we were too generous or unfair?  Do you have a suggestion, or a challenge, for us to take on in the future?  Then get in touch with us by either leaving a comment on our homepage, Facebook or Twitter, or email us at therufusproject@gmail.com This is also the second last episode on the old feed.  Please find "The Rufus Project Podcast" on your fave podcast app, or click here for the new feed.
