This episode is part reptile rant, part movie review, and fully opinionated.We’re sharing our thoughts on the new Anaconda movie and breaking down all the wild stereotypes and misinformation it pushes about anacondas and large snakes in general. From exaggerated behavior to the classic “giant man-eating monster snake” trope, we talk about what the movie gets wrong, why these portrayals matter, and how they shape public perception of reptiles.Then we switch gears completely and review The Devil Wears Prada 2… which, unlike the snake movie, we absolutely loved. We talk favorite moments, characters, fashion, and why it somehow managed to live up to the hype.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://coldbloodedcaffeine.com/- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://reptilekages.com/- https://thebiodude.com/- https://reptilinks.com/- https://frostbitefeeders.com/- https://arcadiareptile.com/?utm_source=the_wild_type&utm_medium=podcast
