About This Interview

Before Now Playing Podcast, there was Snakes on a Podcast.

Hosted by Arnie and Marjorie, this five-episode limited series chronicled the internet phenomenon that was Snakes on a Plane in real time. From roundtable interviews at San Diego Comic-Con to an opening-night theatrical review, this was the show where it all began.



Interview Episode 2 – Jules Sylvester Interview

What’s a movie called Snakes on a Plane without actual snakes? Arnie and Marjorie talk with Jules Sylvester, the film’s snake wrangler, about the real stars of the production: dozens of live reptiles brought in to slither, hiss, and occasionally misbehave on cue. From safety protocols to handling venomous species, Sylvester explains how the production balanced Hollywood spectacle with very real fangs. If you ever wondered how many snakes are “too many snakes,” this interview has your answer.
