Anaconda (2025) Review: Paul Rudd and Jack Black Can’t Save This Meta Snake Sequel

Anaconda (2025) Review

Director Tom Gormican’s Anaconda (2025) brings Paul Rudd and Jack Black to the Amazon for a meta horror-comedy where fans remaking the 1997 cult classic encounter an actual giant snake. The result? “Two movies in one,” as Johnny North explains—comedy first, horror second, neither fully committed. Rudd and Black’s chemistry elevates weak material, but tonal inconsistency, limited snake screen time, and a surface-level script land the film in forgettable territory. For die-hard franchise fans only.

Finnish Action Masterpiece: Johnny North Reviews Sisu – Road to Revenge

🎬 &Quot;Simple Movie, But It Works&Quot; - Johnny North'S Sisu: Road To Revenge Review

Sisu: Road to Revenge on Netflix is “one of the best movies I’ve seen this year,” according to Wrestling Uncensored’s Johnny North. The Finnish action sequel features a unique approach: a protagonist who never speaks throughout the film’s runtime.
Set in 1946 Soviet-occupied Finland, the movie follows legendary commando Aatami Korpi seeking revenge against the Red Army officer who killed his family. Starring Jorma Tommila and Stephen Lang with an €11 million budget, director Jalmari Helander delivers what Johnny calls superior to The Expendables franchise.
“It’s just boom, action, next action scene, next action scene,” Johnny describes. “I just love how it was kind of cold at times and it felt kind of gritty. Simple movie, but it works.”
Strong violence warning: Johnny repeatedly emphasized this film is not appropriate for children due to extreme graphic content throughout.

Why WrestleMania 43 Saudi Arabia Could Be ‘Botch-A-Mania’ Plus Wrestlepalooza Preview

Wrestlemania 43 Saudi Arabia 2027 Shocks Wrestling World

WWE just made wrestling history for all the wrong reasons. When the company announced that WrestleMania 43 would take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North didn’t hold back their scathing criticism.
“This may be the weirdest, worst WrestleMania of all time, and I’m kind of excited about it for that reason. Like this may be botch-a-mania,” Dave declared, painting a grim picture of aging legends wrestling in extreme heat for a manufactured audience.
But the controversy doesn’t stop there. With September 20th bringing both WWE’s historic Wrestlepalooza revival and AEW All Out in Toronto on the same night, the hosts broke down why this could be a turning point for professional wrestling – and not necessarily in a good way.
From John Cena’s final Wrestlepalooza appearance against Brock Lesnar to the dream match of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reuniting against FTR, Simon and North delivered unfiltered analysis that wrestling fans won’t hear anywhere else. They didn’t even spare AJ Lee’s much-hyped return, questioning whether the nostalgia is worth the hype.

Clash In Paris Preview Thumbnail

In this episode of Wrestling Uncensored, co-hosts Dave Simon and Pro Wrestler Genesis Johnny North deliver their unfiltered take on the combat sports world, beginning with a deep dive into the fallout from AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. The hosts were in agreement on the overall score for the event, but their opinions diverged on specific matches, with Simon praising the insanity of the steel cage match and Johnny North championing the standout performance of Bozilla in the women’s four-way bout.

The conversation then shifts to the persistent rumors surrounding Chris Jericho and a potential return to WWE when his AEW contract expires. Simon and North find themselves on opposite sides of the debate, with North arguing that Jericho has “unfinished business” in AEW and should conclude his storylines, while Simon advocates for a harder line, suggesting AEW should use his remaining time to elevate younger talent. The episode culminates with a detailed breakdown of the six-match card for WWE’s Clash in Paris, complete with predictions and analysis of the fervent French crowd’s reactions to stars like John Cena and Logan Paul. It’s a comprehensive look at the world of professional wrestling, only on the Ringside Report Network.

Forbidden Door 2025 Preview: Hangman vs. MJF, Cena’s Final Tour and WWE’s Creative Problems

Forbidden Door 2025 Preview Thumbnail

Wrestling Uncensored hosts Dave Simon and Johnny North delivered their most passionate debate of the year while previewing Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door from London’s O2 Arena. The duo clashed over whether “Timeless” Toni Storm should retain her Women’s World Championship against Athena, with Simon delivering a fiery defense: “Tony Storm is a superstar – she makes the championship important, she makes the division important. Athena’s promos are terrible compared to Storm’s, which are some of the best in the business.”
But the real fireworks came during their analysis of WWE’s backstage culture, as Simon raised serious concerns about Triple H’s behavior on WWE Untold. “He’s holding them very close, whispering in their ears while they’re basically in their gear,” Simon observed about Triple H’s extended embraces with wrestlers. “It’s not a workplace thing – this is like a power move.”
From Hangman Page’s “magnificent” title reign that has him “crushing promos” against MJF, to potential dream matches featuring the “fucking good team” of Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay, the hosts delivered their most comprehensive wrestling analysis yet. Plus: Chris Jericho’s rumored WWE return, John Cena’s farewell tour strategy, and why Simon thinks WWE’s comedy segments are “cringy” disasters that ruin otherwise solid programming.
