Episode #312: Cocaine Bear

Reel Film Nerds

Welcome to March everyone. Can you believe how fast this year has rocketed by? For today’s pod Mike, Matt, and Ma Hinshaw chat about a film that is tearing up the box office Cocaine Bear directed by Elizabeth Banks. Not drug related animal topics include 8K, Movie Pass sucks again, and a new incredible Blu-ray giveaway.

This movie is exactly what we wanted, just not enough of it. Cocaine Bear is a high dollar B-movie with A-list stars and an amazing CGI bear. The biggest problem with this film is they did not push the boundaries harder. There are some really great over the top scenes and humor but they are too few and far between. Another big issue is the amount of stories in this film. There are a ton of characters, which is great, but they all have these pretty intricate stories. Why, why are there so many? A handful at best but better developed really would improve this film.

Matt and Mike both agree this is a wait until it’s streaming kinda movie. It is a ton of fun and if you want to go to the theaters please do but it’s not a must see film. Mike awards Cocaine Bear 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt is just a smidge lower with 2 out of 5 Reels. Of course we can’t forget Ma Hinshaw who just loves pretty much anything, she awards the movie 3.5 out of 5 cookies.

Next week Mike, Matt, and even Ma continue their theater going run with Guy Ritchie’s latest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre starring Jason Statham. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!
