Anaconda (2025) is TOO dumb | The Pointless Creative #03

It’s episode 3 of The Pointless Creative with Jordan and Sabino! As promised, we’re chatting about movies about making movies -- the Anaconda remake starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd, Bowfinger starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy. We also touch on The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (Nick Cage), webcomic progress, vibe coding an app, and more.

00:00 - Teasing Anaconda (2025) and Bowfinger (is Eddie Murphy even funny?)
02:50 - Webcomics are a perfect medium for creatives (because we don’t need to rely on anyone else!) ... and the ironic twist of not consuming what you create!
05:35 - Jordan’s Progress Report (comics are live, new panels, letting the characters define the composition)
08:28 - CREATIVE PRO-TIP! (it’s your art, you make the material do whatever you want!)
12:36 - Sabino’s Progress Report (vibe coding a travel puzzle app)
19:55 - Passion projects bubble to the top; creative heartbreak!
23:20 - Anaconda!
44:43 - Next week’s watch list: The Infinite Husk
47:38 - A Film Enthusiast’s Greatest Shame
48:49 - Film as an Empathy Machine (a One Battle After Another coda)
