There wasn't much to do during COVID lockdown except stay inside and watch TV.
Luckily, there were still new shows hitting the streamers at the time, such as Netflix's Tiger King.
Years later, the docuseries' co-director Eric Goode (who also helmed 2024's Chimp Crazy) has a new project centered around an entirely different kind of wildlife: reptiles.
Monsters of God premiered Thursday, August 6 on HBO and has been met with positive reviews, sitting at an impressive 100% average critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Here's the website's offered synopsis:
"Filmmaker Eric Goode follows his first love – reptiles – into the dark and gonzo underworld of exotic animal smuggling. In this global network, everyone is chasing the ultimate prize, whether it be owning the rarest of species, claiming the biggest fortunes, or taking down the most elusive criminals. The billion-dollar criminal enterprise is fueled by extreme obsession for these creatures, driving many to push the boundaries of laws and environmental ethics. As he digs deeper, Goode uncovers a labyrinth of outlaw traffickers, bombastic collectors, and the dogged law enforcement agents on their tails."
HBO has taken to social media in recent days to promote the Monsters of God premiere. "There's a whole other world out there," reads the Instagram post's caption below.

“Right now, a lot of people are thinking I’m trying to take down the reptile world," Goode, 68, said at a recent Q&A in Los Angeles, per Deadline. "Yes, I didn’t like people keeping chimpanzees in Chimp Crazy. I wanted laws changed so you couldn’t do that. I didn’t want people having 200 tigers in their backyard [in Tiger King]. Reptiles are different. It’s nuanced... If people were breeding more reptiles, that may take pressure off of the poachers. And so there’s a lot of gray in this story, and it’s not painting anyone with one brush."
