On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are getting these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane in the snake-filled David R. Ellis snake film about plane snakes, Snakes on a Plane.

Did we mention there are snakes? Loads and loads of blood-thirsty snakes?

We kick off the inaugural episode of our monthly b-movie series with a movie that will go down in the annals of history as a film that\\u2019s clearly as fine as Citizen Kane, but with a whole lot less sleds.

We talk about what constitutes a b-movie for a bit. We\\u2019re pretty much in agreement with what it means to attain that fabled classification. Unfortunately, that doesn\\u2019t mean we\\u2019re going to be happy with what we\\u2019re going to subject ourselves to in the future.

But back to the plane. We marvel about how enjoyable this movie actually is despite it being something of a joke for most people. It may not have won any awards, but dang if this wasn\\u2019t a fun and silly movie. It\\u2019s a respectable hour and forty-five minutes and didn\\u2019t actually feel that long. Our hats are off to the always wonderful Samuel L. Jackson for helping to elevate this one to great heights and give it some legitimacy. If it weren\\u2019t for him, this would just be a movie full of dinguses who can\\u2019t keep themselves from being eaten.

In a movie about actual snakes on an actual plane, it had a decent look and some fine sound design to it. Say what you will about the story, this film was actually technically well-made. Let it never be said that a ridiculous film can\\u2019t shine bright.

Snakes!

The microwave snake button

There\\u2019s a button on that microwave that says \\u201cSnake.\\u201d Microwave manufacturers, why isn\\u2019t this a universal feature? Are you trying to get us all killed by snakes?
