Smuggling Reptiles With The Monsters of God

Tiger King and Chimp Crazy filmmakers Eric Goode and Jeremy McBride uncover the wild world of reptile smuggling and illegal wildlife trafficking in their new HBO docuseries, Monsters of God! They reveal how rare snakes, turtles, iguanas and other reptiles are smuggled across borders, the staggering prices collectors will pay for endangered animals, why collectors risk prison to get them, and how they tracked down notorious wildlife trafficker Anson Wong (the Pablo Escobar of reptiles) in Malaysia. They also share Jake “The Snake” Roberts’ surprising connection to the underground reptile trade, Slash’s love of reptiles and contribution to the Monsters of God score, and what 15 years, 200 interviews and 1,500 hours of footage revealed about one of the world’s most secretive black markets. Plus, they talk Tiger King the pandemic's effect on the series popularity, what really happened when they realized Joe Exotic was trying to have Carole Baskin killed, and why they believe the Tiger King story ultimately went on too long.
