About this episode

The hosts celebrate the cult classic film Anaconda, discussing its themes and memorable moments while pairing it with a themed cocktail.

Wow… this week on the Scary Spirits Podcast , we’re sliding back into the jungle for a seriously wild celebration of the 1997 cult creature feature Anaconda —yeah, that Anaconda —which slithered into theaters on April 11, 1997 , starring Jennifer Lopez and a whole lot of oversized snake energy. It’s one of those late‑’90s horror-adventure movies that just makes you lean back and go, “Wow… they really don’t make ’em like this anymore.” Join Karen and Greg as they kick back, talk man‑eating serpents, jungle paranoia, and all the gloriously over-the-top moments that helped make Anaconda a staple of ’90s horror films . And because it’s Scary Spirits, they’re pairing the episode with a dangerously fun, themed “ Blue Anaconda ” cocktail that’s as bold and unforgettable as the movie itself. So grab a drink, hit play, and wrap yourself around this laid‑back, laugh-filled deep dive into one of the most memorable creature horror movies of the decade. Wow… trust us—you’re gonna want to listen. Blue Anaconda • 2/3 oz coconut rum • 2/3 oz vanilla vodka • 1 oz blue curaçao • 1 oz milk/cream Instructions: Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake well until chilled. Strain into a glass…
