- 2:39Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know. It's I literally put it
- 2:41Speaker 3: on one night because it's like an hour and fifteen
- 2:43Speaker 3: minutes long, and I was like, I'll just check this out.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Not a shit. Grave Dancers one of the after dark
- 2:50Speaker 3: horror fast movies from back when that used to be
- 2:54Speaker 3: a thing.
- 2:55Speaker 4: There are those like those eight horror movies you would like,
- 2:58Speaker 4: it was like an eight pack of movies or whatever.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Yeah, the eight films to Die For. Yeah, oh no,
- 3:04Speaker 3: I've been slowly recollecting them all. That one was solid enough.
- 3:10Speaker 4: It gave it gave me straight vibes of this didn't
- 3:16Speaker 4: get a theatrical release because there wasn't enough star power
- 3:20Speaker 4: in it.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Other than that. Graphically plot, everything was no different than
- 3:26Speaker 3: like The Boogeyman or Darkness Falls from back in the
- 3:29Speaker 3: early two thousands. But nobody to carry it because I
- 3:33Speaker 3: want to say, the biggest name and I don't even
- 3:35Speaker 3: remember his name is the brother from prison Break, not
- 3:40Speaker 3: the one who's trying to break out, the brother, but
- 3:42Speaker 3: the one who's already.
- 3:43Speaker 4: In Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fucking uh. I want to
- 3:47Speaker 4: say Daryl, but I know that's not right, Sam. No, uh,
- 3:54Speaker 4: fucking Dominic Purcell, that guy, yep, that's.
- 3:59Speaker 3: That's That's about the biggest name in that movie. Other
- 4:01Speaker 3: than that, what did I give it? A two and
- 4:03Speaker 3: a half? I watched House on Haunted Hill in preparation
- 4:08Speaker 3: to do Return to House on Haunted Hill because I
- 4:11Speaker 3: had never seen it, but I know you said that
- 4:13Speaker 3: it was really good. And then Night of the Dribbler,
- 4:18Speaker 3: which is a micro budget from Canada, and yeah, it
- 4:24Speaker 3: was a movie didn't so I had no idea that
- 4:28Speaker 3: it was an actual comedy horror going into it. We're
- 4:33Speaker 3: talking like student Bodies. If you've ever seen that that
- 4:37Speaker 3: kind of comedy.
- 4:38Speaker 4: What were they dribbling? Was it basketball's or.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah? The killer is a man with a
- 4:43Speaker 3: basketball on his head.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Man, I went to some weird places there with that. Okay,
- 4:50Speaker 4: what you got it right behind you?
- 4:53Speaker 3: Of course you do. So I got it in this
- 4:56Speaker 3: shooting slashers from terror terror visions, right yeah, terror? Oh yeah.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Let me tell you. They want to make sure that
- 5:04Speaker 3: you can't get the movies out of their boxes. Look,
- 5:06Speaker 3: these are in there tight.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Okay. Look, so I am gonna say something that everyone's
- 5:13Speaker 4: gonna think I'm lying about. So I bought that.
- 5:16Speaker 3: What that?
- 5:16Speaker 4: Remember that Twilight box set that came out a while
- 5:19Speaker 4: back that had all the movies in it. I bought
- 5:22Speaker 4: that for my wife. Everyone's probably thinking I'm lying. I
- 5:25Speaker 4: the movies are great trash to watch. But I bought
- 5:27Speaker 4: that for her. And it had a case like that,
- 5:30Speaker 4: you know how normal Normally when you get like a
- 5:33Speaker 4: steel case box set, they have like the padding in
- 5:37Speaker 4: there so they can easily get them in and out.
- 5:39Speaker 4: This was a paper This was a like laminated cardboard case. Literally,
- 5:47Speaker 4: I fucking ripped that thing to shreds and I put
- 5:49Speaker 4: them in. I put them in steel case. Malco protectors
- 5:52Speaker 4: and put them on my shelf because it was the
- 5:54Speaker 4: most horrid fucking box I had ever seen in my life.
- 5:58Speaker 4: See but those are just all stacked on top of
- 6:00Speaker 4: each other, right, They're just like one two three yeah,
- 6:02Speaker 4: one two three yeah. See the fucking Twilight one had
- 6:05Speaker 4: little cardboard in between all of them. It was impossible
- 6:10Speaker 4: to get them out. Yeah, off fucking tangent. But yes,
- 6:14Speaker 4: that's from Terror Vision. I wanted to I thought, for
- 6:16Speaker 4: some reason, I thought shoestring Slashers was vinegar syndrome. I
- 6:20Speaker 4: don't know why, but I wanted. I've I've been wanting
- 6:23Speaker 4: to get that one.
- 6:24Speaker 3: I specifically got it because I saw somebody doing an
- 6:27Speaker 3: unboxing and there was this one in there too, the
- 6:30Speaker 3: nineties Nightmare. And although I haven't heard of a single
- 6:34Speaker 3: movie in this, I'm a sucker for the artwork that
- 6:37Speaker 3: was on the front. You can really see it with
- 6:39Speaker 3: my twelve mechanistic camera here, and uh, I was like,
- 6:44Speaker 3: you know what, Yeah, it looks like trash. I would
- 6:46Speaker 3: have watched on USA Network or whatever. But Night of
- 6:48Speaker 3: the Dribbler two because there is a second one. No no,
- 6:53Speaker 3: sorry no no, I gave it a two.
- 6:55Speaker 4: Oh, like there's two of these movies.
- 7:00Speaker 3: There were a couple of parts in it that like
- 7:02Speaker 3: legitimately gave me a good laugh. But I did not
- 7:05Speaker 3: expect the satirical comedy going into it. I expected so
- 7:09Speaker 3: bad it's funny kind of yeah. I was like, oh,
- 7:12Speaker 3: this is actually a comedy movie. Okay, well the comedy worked.
- 7:16Speaker 3: The horror Holy shit, no wear wolves on wheels. Yeah,
- 7:21Speaker 3: this was This was kind of like that where there
- 7:23Speaker 3: was a lot of scenes of like people playing basketball
- 7:26Speaker 3: while they were trying to be funny and there wasn't.
- 7:28Speaker 3: It was like watching a like no, no, I can't anything.
- 7:33Speaker 3: I don't even know what to compare it to. It
- 7:36Speaker 3: would be like watching, well maybe not around you, because
- 7:40Speaker 3: you're in Florida, watching the high school basketball team play
- 7:44Speaker 3: on the community channel here. Like that's the vibe that
- 7:48Speaker 3: it gave was like, oh, okay.
- 7:50Speaker 4: It's no Luck of the Irish. Okay, if you know
- 7:53Speaker 4: that movie from Disney Channel, the crowd went silent Oh no,
- 7:58Speaker 4: I absolutely remember, Well, wait, what did you think of
- 8:01Speaker 4: Return to Silent Hill, Because like it's I legitimately like
- 8:05Speaker 4: it's not okay. It's so hard to explain, like it's
- 8:09Speaker 4: not a good movie, but I have such a great
- 8:12Speaker 4: time with it. I don't know. Did you like? Did
- 8:14Speaker 4: you like return?
- 8:15Speaker 3: Is that the newest, newest one?
- 8:16Speaker 4: Return to Return to House on Hanted Hill from two
- 8:18Speaker 4: thousand and seven?
- 8:19Speaker 3: Oh? No, so I haven't. I watched the first one,
- 8:22Speaker 3: First Operation, but I have not watched the second one yet.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Got you.
- 8:25Speaker 4: I enjoy it more than the first one, but really
- 8:29Speaker 4: mainly because the first one, even though you have Jeffrey Combs,
- 8:32Speaker 4: you have fucking Captain Barbosa. I can never remember his
- 8:35Speaker 4: goddamn name. And it's that that ending CG sequence is
- 8:40Speaker 4: just so bad. But Return to House on Haunted Hill
- 8:44Speaker 4: is so much fun, so much gore. Uh, Jeffrey Combs
- 8:48Speaker 4: is back, By the way, it's not really a spoiler.
- 8:50Speaker 4: He's back again. I don't know why. It's it's a
- 8:52Speaker 4: difference of like a three star and a three and
- 8:54Speaker 4: a half I gave, like, does it deserve a three
- 8:56Speaker 4: and a half? Return? No, But it's the time I
- 8:59Speaker 4: had with it, fucking great time.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Speaking of bad CGI, I also rewatched The Final Girls
- 9:04Speaker 3: the other night. Does that have you ever seen that?
- 9:07Speaker 4: I love that movie? Where's what does it have? Bad CGI?
- 9:11Speaker 3: Oh my god? The whole scene in the theater where
- 9:13Speaker 3: like right before they go into I forgot that. I
- 9:16Speaker 3: forgot how bad it was too, because it had been
- 9:18Speaker 3: a while since I've watched it, and I was like,
- 9:20Speaker 3: oh yeah, like the dude lights up the joint and
- 9:22Speaker 3: then there's bad CG as it hits the line of
- 9:25Speaker 3: liquor causing the fire and stuff, okay, and then the
- 9:28Speaker 3: part when they initially try to escape the camp. I
- 9:31Speaker 3: don't know if it was bad, but it was really
- 9:33Speaker 3: wonky CG. And it kind of gave me a headache
- 9:35Speaker 3: for a split second. But fuck man, crime fucking crime
- 9:40Speaker 3: example of a great PG thirteen horror movie.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Yeah, no one expects that to beat PG thirteen, but it.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Is, and and it was. I remember liking it, but
- 9:51Speaker 3: on a rewatch, I was like, this hits maybe because
- 9:54Speaker 3: I have a child who's that age, and like I
- 9:57Speaker 3: saw like the whole fucking like mother daughter thing. Obviously
- 10:00Speaker 3: I have a son, but like, yeah, you know, that's
- 10:03Speaker 3: still that dynamic of like the mother being like, well,
- 10:05Speaker 3: you're the best thing that ever happened to me, and
- 10:07Speaker 3: then like it hit me in the fields because of
- 10:08Speaker 3: my wife and shit, and I was like, oh, yeah,
- 10:11Speaker 3: this is so good, and where the fuck is the sequel?
- 10:13Speaker 3: Forgot that it left us on a cliffhanger spoiler.
- 10:16Speaker 4: Yeah, but come on, well, anybody's sequel, not even to
- 10:20Speaker 4: fucking mention. You have Tayssa Farmiga, Malin Akerman, who is
- 10:23Speaker 4: literally one of my heart throbs. She is gorgeous. I
- 10:26Speaker 4: love Malan Ackerman. And then you have Nina do Brev.
- 10:29Speaker 4: You've got Adam Divine. Uh before he well that might
- 10:34Speaker 4: have been during Workaholics now that I think about it.
- 10:36Speaker 4: But you've got Adam Devine. You've got Thomas middle Dish
- 10:38Speaker 4: if you don't know the name. He's been in so dude,
- 10:41Speaker 4: so many movies. He's been in a lot of the
- 10:43Speaker 4: Godzilla movies. He's been in Congskull Island, Zombie Land, Double Tap,
- 10:47Speaker 4: you know the face, great fucking cast. And then you
- 10:49Speaker 4: have Ali a Shawkat who is in Green Room. It's
- 10:52Speaker 4: such a great cast and it's so fucking funny, and yeah,
- 10:56Speaker 4: you would not guess that that is a PG thirteen
- 10:58Speaker 4: movie and and uh it's so good. Yeah, that was
- 11:02Speaker 4: episode something on this podcast. We did that like a
- 11:05Speaker 4: year or two ago. Now two years ago. We didn't
- 11:08Speaker 4: do it last year. Yeah, we did it two years ago.
- 11:10Speaker 4: I love that movie. Anything else you got that it?
- 11:15Speaker 3: That was it?
- 11:15Speaker 4: All right, let's go look out the old letterboxed here.
- 11:19Speaker 4: I remember the last thing I talked about? Oh yes,
- 11:22Speaker 4: I do. Oh did I mention Hungry on the last episode.
- 11:25Speaker 4: I don't think I did. So I watched Hungary Sun
- 11:27Speaker 4: over by Alliance Entertainment, and let me see what the
- 11:31Speaker 4: description says, because I don't want to like ruin anything. Okay,
- 11:34Speaker 4: it does. There's a fucking hippo in the Louisiana swamp plans.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I'm not even sure that's real. I don't even think
- 11:42Speaker 4: that can happen. I'm pretty sure hippos are like native
- 11:44Speaker 4: to not this country. Maybe I'm fucking stupid. I don't know.
- 11:48Speaker 4: But it's essentially hatchet, but instead of Victor Crowley, it's
- 11:53Speaker 4: a fucking hippo's so.
- 11:56Speaker 3: I also heard that it takes a while for the hippo.
- 12:00Speaker 4: It's like Jaws in that respect. It does take a bit,
- 12:03Speaker 4: and sometimes the hippo looks fantastic, and then sometimes it doesn't.
- 12:10Speaker 4: It's fun. It's like a good stupid movie two and
- 12:13Speaker 4: a half stars. Like it's fine, it don't it's not
- 12:15Speaker 4: really good, but it's not bad, It's enjoyable.
- 12:20Speaker 3: It's currently sitting in my DVD player. It made it
- 12:23Speaker 3: that far, made it that fun. I went to watch
- 12:26Speaker 3: it and I fell asleep, not while watching it, just
- 12:28Speaker 3: prior to hitting play.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Okay, and then my cold movie challenge for last week,
- 12:35Speaker 4: because I'm behind on all this shit, it was Psychotronic
- 12:38Speaker 4: Encyclopedia week. Don't even ask me what that shit is
- 12:41Speaker 4: because I didn't even I didn't even research it. This time.
- 12:44Speaker 4: I went to the letterbox list and there was thousands
- 12:47Speaker 4: of movies to choose from, so I filtered it through
- 12:50Speaker 4: horror and what is readily streaming, and I fucking hit
- 12:54Speaker 4: shuffle and the first thing that popped up, funny enough,
- 12:57Speaker 4: was a movie called Dementia, because the week before I
- 12:59Speaker 4: watched it mentioned thirteen. This movie's from nineteen fifty five.
- 13:03Speaker 4: It is a silent film, which is very strange because
- 13:06Speaker 4: the talkies have been a thing for about twenty years
- 13:09Speaker 4: at this point. And it was one of the craziest
- 13:14Speaker 4: movies I've seen in quite some time. Nothing made sense,
- 13:18Speaker 4: but then at the end, it's that's when everything snaps
- 13:21Speaker 4: it together. It's a fifty eight minute movie. Just go
- 13:25Speaker 4: watch it. It is streaming on Prime. I want to say,
- 13:30Speaker 4: uh oh to be in plex. Okay, so whatever, but yeah,
- 13:33Speaker 4: it's literally fifty eight minutes. It's the craziest shit I've
- 13:37Speaker 4: seen in so long, especially for the time too. Did
- 13:41Speaker 4: it come out nineteen fifty five? Technically nineteen fifty three,
- 13:44Speaker 4: but then it got banned for I can't remember what
- 13:47Speaker 4: it's I have a huge review I did on it,
- 13:49Speaker 4: but it got banned because of definitely two scenes. I
- 13:53Speaker 4: can understand why it got banned because it's nineteen fifty
- 13:56Speaker 4: five and they hadn't done shit like that. Uh, and
- 13:59Speaker 4: then eventually it got released in nineteen fifty five instead
- 14:02Speaker 4: of nineteen fifty is dude, it's a whole thing. I
- 14:04Speaker 4: went down a rabbit hole with this movie. My review
- 14:07Speaker 4: is five paragraphs because it's part of my Cult Movie Challenge,
- 14:10Speaker 4: and I'm reviewing all of those movies, So go read
- 14:13Speaker 4: that if you have time.
- 14:15Speaker 3: What and I'm sorry, what the fuck did you say?
- 14:16Speaker 4: The subject was, oh, like the prompt, Yeah, psychotronic encyclopedia.
- 14:24Speaker 4: All right, okay, yeah, which is fitting for dementia. Rewatched
- 14:30Speaker 4: basket Case because I gave that a two star for
- 14:32Speaker 4: some reason.
- 14:33Speaker 3: I don't know. Why.
- 14:34Speaker 4: I was probably drunk or something because that was like
- 14:37Speaker 4: six years ago. That's a three and a half star movie. Great,
- 14:40Speaker 4: great time. I have basket Case two and three to
- 14:43Speaker 4: watch soon. Don't know how that's going to be a thing,
- 14:45Speaker 4: because if you've seen the ending of basket Case, I
- 14:48Speaker 4: don't know how they're going to continue. Watched Mobeta Blues
- 14:52Speaker 4: for another podcast, so that a shameless picture show, Spike
- 14:55Speaker 4: Lee Joint three and a half stars. New movie for
- 14:58Speaker 4: that Three new movies for this year year actually Bury
- 15:01Speaker 4: the Devil, which is a one shot movie sent over
- 15:04Speaker 4: by Pixels Media. Really like that one, three and a
- 15:09Speaker 4: half stars. It's a one shot. It's really good. Night
- 15:13Speaker 4: Borne with Rupert Grint and some finish lady that I
- 15:17Speaker 4: don't know. That was a upsetting movie and I don't
- 15:21Speaker 4: really think I understood. Me and my wife are both
- 15:23Speaker 4: like what, what's what's going on? Three stars for their
- 15:27Speaker 4: performances in the set pieces. And then a movie called
- 15:30Speaker 4: Hellcat that just dropped as well on Shutter a bottle
- 15:35Speaker 4: film in an RV or in a trailer that's attached
- 15:39Speaker 4: to a truck. Crazy shit, crazy shit, four stars. So
- 15:44Speaker 4: I recommend all of them. Nightbourne's there's just they don't
- 15:49Speaker 4: explain enough right, and then hellcat, it was just so
- 15:53Speaker 4: well done for being in It's literally takes like ninety
- 15:57Speaker 4: percent of this movie takes place in the fucking back
- 16:00Speaker 4: of a trailer RV, like a like one of the
- 16:02Speaker 4: ones you pull behind a truck whatever, those fucking yeah yeah,
- 16:05Speaker 4: like silver bullet whatever. So that one was really good.
- 16:09Speaker 4: People I haven't even heard of in the movie. The
- 16:12Speaker 4: main actress was great, main guy was great. There's like
- 16:16Speaker 4: three people in the movie. It was so impressed. And
- 16:19Speaker 4: there's a kind of a twist that you'll never see
- 16:23Speaker 4: coming fucking so out of left field. But those were
- 16:26Speaker 4: all really good. And then this weekend is insidious, uh
- 16:31Speaker 4: seeing it Saturday like fucking way too late. It's gonna
- 16:34Speaker 4: be past my bedtime. There will be a bonus episode
- 16:37Speaker 4: ideally out on that I don't even know if I'm
- 16:39Speaker 4: gonna have time at this point, but I am excited
- 16:41Speaker 4: because I have this many expectations for the listeners at home.
- 16:45Speaker 4: I have two zero's up. We don't need this movie,
- 16:49Speaker 4: but it's a different family and it's a different story. So,
- 16:54Speaker 4: as Corey put it, the only thing this movie can
- 16:57Speaker 4: do is impress me because I have zero expectations. So
- 17:00Speaker 4: that's where I'm at with that. If that's all we have,
- 17:03Speaker 4: we can move on. I think that's that's all. I've
- 17:06Speaker 4: gone trying to think if I had another announcement for
- 17:08Speaker 4: a movie I watched, but I can't think of anything.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Get you good to move on?
- 17:12Speaker 3: You'p good to move on.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Let's deal with let's go into the body count. I
- 17:20Speaker 4: have a fan on underneath me because I get so
- 17:23Speaker 4: hot in here, and I'm hoping that it's not like
- 17:25Speaker 4: I can hear it, but I'd like, I don't know,
- 17:27Speaker 4: we'll see. So this is oh so two things from
- 17:30Speaker 4: the corrections department real quick. So the Bay actually landed
- 17:34Speaker 4: at a three point zero nine out of five and
- 17:37Speaker 4: fell in between Vampire and Brooklyn at a two point
- 17:39Speaker 4: eight four and at a three point one to three. Also,
- 17:43Speaker 4: the Bay on tub had the glitches that Corey was
- 17:47Speaker 4: talking about, because I checked my DVD and there were
- 17:50Speaker 4: no glitches, and I counted forty two glitches on the
- 17:55Speaker 4: two B version of the Bay. So apologies to anybody
- 17:58Speaker 4: who watched that on tub. They have some corrupt as version.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Go buy the DVD. I don't know what the fuck
- 18:04Speaker 4: that was about. It was baffling to me. Anyways. This
- 18:07Speaker 4: is Cocaine Bear from twenty twenty three, released on February.
- 18:10Speaker 4: I think that should be February twenty fourth. I think
- 18:14Speaker 4: I don't know whatever in February. Fuck it perfect time
- 18:16Speaker 4: for Valentine's Day. Rated R for bloody violence, gore, drug content,
- 18:20Speaker 4: no shit and language throughout, no sex and nudity, severe
- 18:24Speaker 4: violence and gore, severe profanity, severe alcohol, drugs and the
- 18:27Speaker 4: smoking again no duh. And moderate frightening and intense scenes.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Runtime of an hour and thirty five minutes. This isn't
- 18:33Speaker 4: even a fucking horror movie, which I okay, it's a
- 18:37Speaker 4: comedy crime thriller.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Oh, if you google it, it says horror comedy.
- 18:40Speaker 4: And I looked on IMDb and Letterbox crime comedy thriller,
- 18:45Speaker 4: what the fuck?
- 18:46Speaker 3: So, to be fair, it does fall more into those categories,
- 18:49Speaker 3: but I guess we'll have to go by Google because
- 18:51Speaker 3: it says horror comedy. And so it's a.
- 18:53Speaker 4: Bear on cocaine attacking people. That is an animal attack
- 18:57Speaker 4: horror movie. So this is the one time I don't
- 19:01Speaker 4: agree with Letterbox or IMDb. Rarely do I disagree with them,
- 19:06Speaker 4: but I wouldn't have had this on my Honorable Mentions
- 19:09Speaker 4: list if it wasn't listed. I swear to god they
- 19:11Speaker 4: changed this shit sometimes, Because there was a time when
- 19:14Speaker 4: I checked IMDb and it listed The Sixth Sense as
- 19:17Speaker 4: a horror movie, and then I checked it again when
- 19:19Speaker 4: I was gonna add it to the roster, not a
- 19:21Speaker 4: horror movie. I'm like, I swear to god, they changed
- 19:24Speaker 4: these things from time to time. Or maybe it's some
- 19:25Speaker 4: weird fucking Mandela effect. I don't know. That's besides the
- 19:29Speaker 4: point I'm already rambling here. This was directed by Elizabeth Banks.
- 19:32Speaker 4: She's only directed two other movies, Pitch Perfect two and
- 19:36Speaker 4: Charlie's Angels in twenty nineteen. Don't know what the fuck
- 19:39Speaker 4: made her want to do this, but I love the
- 19:42Speaker 4: arc there of directing. We have Jimmy Warden, Sorry, we
- 19:46Speaker 4: have written by Jimmy Warden. He also wrote The Babysitter
- 19:50Speaker 4: Killer Queen composed by Mark mothersbaw and he composed Happy
- 19:55Speaker 4: Gilmore twenty one, Jump Street, and Thor Ragnarok Fucking Okay.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Cinematography by John Julis Sorian. He did the cinematography for
- 20:05Speaker 4: Candy Man twenty twenty one, edited by Joel Negron. He
- 20:09Speaker 4: did Sleepy, Hollow, House of Wax and Project Hail Mary
- 20:12Speaker 4: again just Wild Projects starring Kerrie Russell as I guess
- 20:17Speaker 4: I never heard her name, but it's s A R.
- 20:20Speaker 4: I is not sorry or Sary, don't. I don't think
- 20:24Speaker 4: I fucking ever heard her name said in the movie.
- 20:28Speaker 4: So that's her name.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Pronounce a goddamn thing. So I am not the person
- 20:32Speaker 3: ye turn that.
- 20:33Speaker 4: I'm thinking it's Sari. I did fucking whatever. She was
- 20:35Speaker 4: in Antlers as Julia Meadows, which we were viewed last year,
- 20:39Speaker 4: I believe. Then we have Alden echin Reich as Eddie.
- 20:42Speaker 4: He was in Solo as Don Solo, Osha Jackson Junior
- 20:46Speaker 4: as David, who was also in Straight out of Compton
- 20:48Speaker 4: his ice Cube. I guess ice Cube was fucking busy
- 20:51Speaker 4: to play himself, which is weird. Ray Leota has said
- 20:55Speaker 4: I shouldn't have to tell you who he is, but
- 20:57Speaker 4: he was in Good Fellows as Henry Hill. Then he
- 20:59Speaker 4: had Isaiah Whitlock Junior as Bob, who was into Five
- 21:02Speaker 4: Bloods as Melvin. This is a This is just a
- 21:05Speaker 4: god awful name and I feel bad for this child,
- 21:08Speaker 4: Brooklyn Prince. It's not a great name as d D.
- 21:12Speaker 4: She was in The Florida Project as Mooney. The Florida
- 21:15Speaker 4: Project is one of the most detestable movies on planet Earth,
- 21:18Speaker 4: and I will stand by that she was fine, but
- 21:21Speaker 4: I fucking hate that movie. And so was a norm.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Track for like, can we backtrack for like two seconds
- 21:26Speaker 3: because I just wanted to go back to the music
- 21:29Speaker 3: composed by Yeah, you said the name, and I was like,
- 21:32Speaker 3: I had to google it real quick. It is the
- 21:34Speaker 3: same guy who composed the music for Rugrats too, by the.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Way, yeah, oh yeah Rugrats. Yeah he did the movies
- 21:39Speaker 4: and the sum of the show, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 21:42Speaker 4: one hundred percent.
- 21:42Speaker 3: You said the name and I was like, I've seen
- 21:44Speaker 3: that name a million fucking times Rugrats and bunch of other.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Do Do Do do probably gonna get up.
- 21:52Speaker 3: But I also never realized that he was the keyboardist
- 21:54Speaker 3: for Devo either, So yes, man has done a lot. Uh.
- 21:59Speaker 4: Then we have Christian Convury as Henry. He was in
- 22:02Speaker 4: The Monkey as Young Hal estimated budget of thirty five
- 22:07Speaker 4: million dollars, which is crazy. I guess they had to
- 22:10Speaker 4: spend a lot of money on the cocaine. I'm not
- 22:11Speaker 4: sure and then a worldwide box office grows of eighty
- 22:14Speaker 4: eight point three million, filmed in Dublin, Ireland because apparently
- 22:18Speaker 4: all the woods in America were being used at that time,
- 22:22Speaker 4: and also Universal Studios in California. You can watch this
- 22:26Speaker 4: on Peacock Movies that came out around the same time.
- 22:29Speaker 4: We were fucking spoiled for horror movies. Now not all
- 22:33Speaker 4: of these are horror movies, but just just wait. It's
- 22:35Speaker 4: also the year that every movie had the longest title ever,
- 22:38Speaker 4: so John Wick, Chapter four, Dungeons and Dragons, Honor among Thieves,
- 22:42Speaker 4: ant Man in the Wasp, Quantumanium, Fuck but Evil, Dead, Rise,
- 22:47Speaker 4: Scream six, Late Night with the Devil, Shazam, Fury of
- 22:50Speaker 4: the Gods, Knock at the Cabin, Creed three sixty five.
- 22:54Speaker 4: That a dinosaur movie with Adam Driver that fucking everyone
- 22:58Speaker 4: forgot about. We have a Ghost and the Wrath of Becky.
- 23:01Speaker 4: We were spoiled and that's like, that's between January and March.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Wild Shit IMDb summary. An autball group of cops, criminals, tourists,
- 23:10Speaker 4: and teens converge on a Georgia forest where a huge
- 23:13Speaker 4: black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Let's go into the autopsy. I love how it's said
- 23:23Speaker 4: in Georgia, and they filmed so many fucking movies in Georgia,
- 23:26Speaker 4: but they were like Ireland, gorobably going down.
- 23:29Speaker 3: I mean, it always comes down to money. Yeah, it's
- 23:31Speaker 3: probably cheaper and it looks the most like Georgia.
- 23:34Speaker 4: But also it was thirty five million dollars. What the fuck?
- 23:39Speaker 4: You don't have any locations except outside. You could go
- 23:42Speaker 4: film in my backyard and you'll probably run into an
- 23:45Speaker 4: actual fucking black bear. So just eat a cocaine you're
- 23:48Speaker 4: good to go. Golly all right, So had you seen
- 23:52Speaker 4: this movie before? Yes, okay, what are your overall thoughts
- 23:56Speaker 4: on Cocaine Bear.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Cocaine Bear is a oneful, untrue true story, fun fucking time.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Yeah, plain and simple. I remember when they well, I
- 24:08Speaker 4: saw the announcement for this. I remember seeing a while
- 24:12Speaker 4: back it was like Cocaine Bear directed by Elizabeth Banks,
- 24:15Speaker 4: and I was like, yeah, sure, okay, and then obviously
- 24:19Speaker 4: this is a real movie now because we're reviewing it.
- 24:21Speaker 4: But I thought it was hilarious because I was like,
- 24:23Speaker 4: what the fuck is this? What do you cocaine Bear.
- 24:25Speaker 4: What And then I did some research and I was like, oh,
- 24:29Speaker 4: we'll get into it because I have a whole bunch
- 24:30Speaker 4: of notes. But it is based on a true story.
- 24:33Speaker 4: Obviously much of it is fictionalized. But it is a
- 24:36Speaker 4: great time. I mean, it's a bear on cocaine ripping
- 24:40Speaker 4: people apart. It's hilarious at times, it's horrifying at other times.
- 24:45Speaker 4: It's all shot beautifully. I mean, this movie is so
- 24:48Speaker 4: much better than people give it credit because it has
- 24:51Speaker 4: really bad ratings. And this goes back to my fucking
- 24:55Speaker 4: thing about people just not being able to have a
- 24:58Speaker 4: good time with movies. This movie, by all accounts, is
- 25:00Speaker 4: a fantastic time. It really is. And if you can't
- 25:04Speaker 4: have fun with this, I can't fucking help you. That's
- 25:06Speaker 4: what I'm gonna leave you.
- 25:07Speaker 3: We went into this expecting nothing but just a fun time.
- 25:10Speaker 3: Like it's called Cocaine Bear. That's like watching Fractoon and
- 25:14Speaker 3: expecting something from it.
- 25:15Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. You know, the name, like this
- 25:17Speaker 4: is one of those movies where you know what you're
- 25:20Speaker 4: getting into just by the name. Typically, typically there's times
- 25:24Speaker 4: where you like have to watch a trailer and know
- 25:26Speaker 4: what you're getting into its cocaine bear. If you don't
- 25:29Speaker 4: expect to see a bear on cocaine going crazy and
- 25:32Speaker 4: you're expecting some fucking masterpiece, you're not gonna get it.
- 25:36Speaker 4: I mean, my god, it's a masterpiece for for completely
- 25:39Speaker 4: different reasons, not for conventional standards. But I went to
- 25:44Speaker 4: rate this and I was like, I cannot believe the
- 25:46Speaker 4: terrible rating on letterbox. It has people just don't know
- 25:49Speaker 4: how to fucking have fun. Whatever, dude, Anyways, this is base. Okay,
- 25:54Speaker 4: you know what, I'm not evenna say, bass. This is
- 25:56Speaker 4: inspired by real events, right, It's not. It's not based
- 26:04Speaker 4: on But in nineteen eighty five, there was a one
- 26:06Speaker 4: hundred and seventy five pound mail American black bear found
- 26:09Speaker 4: a duffel bag full of cocaine that had been dumped
- 26:11Speaker 4: in the wilderness by drug smuggler Andrew Thornton. The bear
- 26:15Speaker 4: ingested the cocaine, fatally overdosed, and then eventually discovered was
- 26:20Speaker 4: eventually discovered dead in northern Georgia. He was later taxi
- 26:23Speaker 4: dermied and became something of a bizarre pop culture icon
- 26:28Speaker 4: in the shopping mall in Kentucky. He's also named Pablo
- 26:33Speaker 4: esca bear which is hilarious, and so that's obviously so
- 26:38Speaker 4: much less exciting than the movie because the bear didn't
- 26:41Speaker 4: go on a ccaine.
- 26:43Speaker 3: No, but I didn't know he was Taxi dermid somewhere
- 26:45Speaker 3: because I kind of want to see that.
- 26:47Speaker 4: That's a fun fact. But yeah, he did not go
- 26:50Speaker 4: on a cocaine fueled killing spree. He ate cocaine, he
- 26:53Speaker 4: died and blah blah blah. So I love how someone knew, Like,
- 27:00Speaker 4: so obviously clearly someone Elizabeth Banks saw the story and
- 27:03Speaker 4: was like, I can make a movie out of this.
- 27:06Speaker 4: This hasn't been done before. Name a movie before this
- 27:10Speaker 4: where an animal ingests a drug and goes crazy. I mean,
- 27:14Speaker 4: Kujo got rabies, right, That's not the same fucking thing.
- 27:18Speaker 4: And I should have done more research to prepare for this,
- 27:20Speaker 4: because I'm bringing up a topic that I did no
- 27:22Speaker 4: research for. But if you can name a movie where
- 27:25Speaker 4: an animal touches a substance that they're not supposed to
- 27:27Speaker 4: have and goes killing people, please let me know. But
- 27:31Speaker 4: I can't think of anything not a drug substance. Honestly,
- 27:34Speaker 4: I'm blanking. If there's even like a toxic waste substance
- 27:36Speaker 4: where this movie happens. I think any movie where an
- 27:40Speaker 4: animal gets into drugs came as a mockbuster to this movie.
- 27:45Speaker 4: I mean, you do have the host from Bong June
- 27:48Speaker 4: Ho where they dump a bunch of fermeldehyde into the
- 27:51Speaker 4: water system in South Korea, But then that's like a
- 27:55Speaker 4: mutated monster. That's not the same thing either. That's not
- 27:58Speaker 4: the yeah no, so yeah, anyways, let's get into this
- 28:01Speaker 4: movie here before we even get to the bear, because
- 28:04Speaker 4: we get to the bear right off the like right
- 28:06Speaker 4: off the rip. It's fucking great. But we get text
- 28:10Speaker 4: on screen, and this is one of my favorite things
- 28:12Speaker 4: about a movie. It says, typically black bears aren't like territorial,
- 28:17Speaker 4: They rarely attack humans in their vicinity, and people have
- 28:20Speaker 4: a higher probability of surviving an attack by fighting back
- 28:23Speaker 4: rather than submitting. And then it's like source Wikipedia. That
- 28:27Speaker 4: sets the tone for the rest.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Of the movie.
- 28:29Speaker 4: And you know what, that might be a part of
- 28:31Speaker 4: the movie where people got lost and they were like,
- 28:33Speaker 4: fuck this movie, this is gonna be terrible because of that.
- 28:37Speaker 4: For me, I laughed so hard I almost puked my pants.
- 28:40Speaker 4: I don't know what do you feel about that?
- 28:43Speaker 3: Much like you, I already went into this knowing that
- 28:45Speaker 3: it was gonna be what it was, So seeing something
- 28:47Speaker 3: like that, it was like, oh, yes, yes, I appreciate.
- 28:50Speaker 3: I appreciate that subtle humor thrown right in at the beginning.
- 28:53Speaker 4: And yeah, they lean into it immediately, like it's called
- 28:57Speaker 4: Cocaine Bear. We're starting with the ridiculous caption that we see.
- 29:00Speaker 4: You know, they they say sourced by Wikipedia. I think
- 29:03Speaker 4: they just made it up and then and then said that,
- 29:05Speaker 4: but I'm assuming they had to pay Wikipedia something to
- 29:07Speaker 4: use their name. But it's such a it's such a
- 29:11Speaker 4: great opening because it's like, here's a fact about black bears.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Now forget every single one of those facts, because we're
- 29:17Speaker 4: in a movie where a BlackBerry becomes a cocaine fueled
- 29:20Speaker 4: killing machine. And I think right away the movie is
- 29:23Speaker 4: that establishes how ridiculous the movie is right away. It's
- 29:26Speaker 4: not trying to convince the convince us this is going
- 29:29Speaker 4: to be some serious, you know, horror thriller. It's not
- 29:33Speaker 4: pretending that the bear is like fucking scientifically accurate. It's
- 29:37Speaker 4: a giant, stupid, self aware horror comedy and commits to
- 29:42Speaker 4: that premise immediately. And I appreciate that because it doesn't.
- 29:46Speaker 4: It's not trying to be something. It's not right off
- 29:49Speaker 4: the bat, They're like, this is how stupid this is
- 29:52Speaker 4: gonna be. And I really appreciate when a movie does that.
- 29:55Speaker 4: So that's just my take on that. I don't want
- 29:58Speaker 4: you to try and sit here and tell me I'm
- 29:59Speaker 4: a about to see like a Christopher Nolan Lovell mind fuck.
- 30:03Speaker 4: You're like, no, this is how stupid we're gonna be.
- 30:06Speaker 4: Thank you movie. Thank you Elizabeth Banks, who randomly directed
- 30:09Speaker 4: this movie. Did you catch the random Frozen reference in
- 30:12Speaker 4: the beginning in this movie? No? The only reason I
- 30:16Speaker 4: did is because I watch movies with captions because I'm deaf.
- 30:19Speaker 4: The two people that get attacked in the beginning are
- 30:22Speaker 4: named Olaf and Elsa.
- 30:25Speaker 3: I guess I just didn't put two and two together.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Yeah, and considering that that movie has a snowy backdrop
- 30:34Speaker 4: and there's some snow in this movie, I guess it
- 30:38Speaker 4: feels appropriate. I just I never noticed that until I
- 30:42Speaker 4: had the subtitles on, because it'll say Elsa, you know,
- 30:44Speaker 4: Simmy Colon her line, ol Off, Simmy Colin his line.
- 30:48Speaker 4: I was like, are they fucking referencing Frozen right now?
- 30:52Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. But Elsa doesn't make it very far. She
- 30:57Speaker 4: gets she gets gooshed pretty fucking quick, which I find
- 30:59Speaker 4: interesting because usually in those situations it's the guy that dies.
- 31:02Speaker 4: But they were like, fuck this lady her first, and
- 31:05Speaker 4: she gets brutally attacked. I fucking love that. And then
- 31:08Speaker 4: ole Off, well, you know, he's we don't really know
- 31:11Speaker 4: what finds that, We don't really know what happens to
- 31:13Speaker 4: him until later in the movie. Did you think he
- 31:15Speaker 4: died right away or did you think he was gonna
- 31:17Speaker 4: come back.
- 31:18Speaker 3: With something like this, I would have just assumed that
- 31:20Speaker 3: he would have been shrugged off is dead if I
- 31:23Speaker 3: was if I had gone into this as like a
- 31:25Speaker 3: fucking scream who done it? Or just like a regular slasher,
- 31:29Speaker 3: not seeing his death might have made me be like, hmm,
- 31:31Speaker 3: he could come back. But with something like this, it
- 31:33Speaker 3: was kind of like that, you know, does it matter
- 31:36Speaker 3: if he comes back at all? Anyway?
- 31:38Speaker 4: And it really didn't matter that he came back. It
- 31:40Speaker 4: was just funny because it's like, yeah, that man has
- 31:43Speaker 4: seen some shit. Poor ole Off, what the fuck he
- 31:45Speaker 4: lost the love of his life. So yeah, that was
- 31:49Speaker 4: a great opening, you know, and the CG on the
- 31:51Speaker 4: bear is a little wonky, but I did see some
- 31:54Speaker 4: BTS photos of the bear and they do have a
- 31:58Speaker 4: I don't know if they were just they had a
- 32:01Speaker 4: practical bear head that I'm assuming they were kind of
- 32:03Speaker 4: just using and then built.
- 32:05Speaker 3: See.
- 32:05Speaker 4: I don't know exactly the process, but I know I
- 32:07Speaker 4: did see a practical bear head at one point, so
- 32:10Speaker 4: when they used it, I'm not sure. But that's besides
- 32:13Speaker 4: the point getting into kind of the meat and potatoes
- 32:15Speaker 4: here of this story. There are two children in this movie,
- 32:20Speaker 4: as I mentioned, and surprisingly they're fantastic kid actors, not
- 32:24Speaker 4: just because they're good at acting, but because I liked them.
- 32:29Speaker 4: And usually one of two things happens with kid actors.
- 32:32Speaker 4: They're not good or I fucking hate them. And for me,
- 32:35Speaker 4: I enjoyed both of the kid performances in this I
- 32:37Speaker 4: think they were great together. But I'm wondering if that
- 32:40Speaker 4: was just me or if you enjoyed their performances as well.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Oh, I think they did a while. You know, they
- 32:44Speaker 3: did a good enough job. I know either way, Like,
- 32:47Speaker 3: obviously there are plenty of movies where kids need to
- 32:49Speaker 3: be part of it, But like I guess you're right,
- 32:52Speaker 3: they're either just good or they're not really guys. You know,
- 32:56Speaker 3: they work together well and their performances. You can kind
- 33:00Speaker 3: of tell when a kid actor's gonna get left in
- 33:03Speaker 3: the dust, like real, like it's it's sad and it
- 33:07Speaker 3: sucks because like especially if these kids are like, you know,
- 33:09Speaker 3: like this is what they want to do, but like
- 33:11Speaker 3: it's it's it's bad.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Dude.
- 33:15Speaker 3: You know I can't act. I'll admit it, and yeah,
- 33:17Speaker 3: kids can't act. So yeah.
- 33:18Speaker 4: So that's what I loved about this because it's d
- 33:21Speaker 4: Dye and Henry and they're both believable. I like DDI's
- 33:25Speaker 4: uh kind of not attitude, but the relationship she has
- 33:29Speaker 4: with her mom, Carrie Russell, it felt very real. It
- 33:31Speaker 4: felt very genuine. And then she has her friend Henry,
- 33:34Speaker 4: and they had great chemistry together. Because, like I said,
- 33:36Speaker 4: I either don't like the kid actors, like they're they're
- 33:39Speaker 4: good kid actors, but I just don't like them because
- 33:41Speaker 4: their pieces, like they're annoying. Like the Florida Project. Going
- 33:44Speaker 4: back to that, all the kids in that movie, I
- 33:46Speaker 4: wanted to fucking punt to the moon. They were so
- 33:49Speaker 4: goddamn annoying. But in this movie, I felt that they
- 33:51Speaker 4: were great. I don't know if they were a necessity
- 33:54Speaker 4: for this movie, because you do have a lot of
- 33:56Speaker 4: moving pieces with how many different people are going into
- 34:00Speaker 4: the forest for different reasons.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Yeah, but as a.
- 34:03Speaker 4: Father I did now, at least as a father, because
- 34:07Speaker 4: when I first saw this, obviously I wasn't a dad,
- 34:09Speaker 4: But now as a father, I connect to that aspect
- 34:11Speaker 4: of my kid just wanted to go see the waterfall,
- 34:14Speaker 4: you know. I wanted to take her to see my
- 34:16Speaker 4: new kind of you know. She was like, I want
- 34:17Speaker 4: to go take you to see my new boyfriend. I
- 34:19Speaker 4: can understand that resistance. And they bring up a thing
- 34:22Speaker 4: that's a trope and a lot of movies where the
- 34:25Speaker 4: single parent meet somebody new and the kids just bashed
- 34:28Speaker 4: with that person, but they don't even reveal the guy
- 34:31Speaker 4: that she's seeing. She just wanted to go paint the
- 34:33Speaker 4: waterfall before she went. So her kid going missing and
- 34:38Speaker 4: Carrie Russell tracking her down, I fell a connection, dude,
- 34:42Speaker 4: because I'd be like, fucked my kid. I gotta go
- 34:44Speaker 4: find this goddamn kid in the fucking Shadohoochie forest. So
- 34:48Speaker 4: I related to that as a dad.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Yeah, No, there's a lot of I guess subplots, like
- 34:54Speaker 3: if you were gonna keep them in, obviously you need
- 34:57Speaker 3: the drug dealer. It's almost like they shoehorned in a
- 34:59Speaker 3: bunch of sub lots of why people ended up in
- 35:01Speaker 3: the forest to amp up the kills.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I feel like they kind of had
- 35:06Speaker 4: to add as many it's many different care because you
- 35:09Speaker 4: really have like four different let me see here I
- 35:13Speaker 4: wrote this down. Yeah, you have like four different people
- 35:16Speaker 4: going into the woods. You have Carrie Russell looking for
- 35:18Speaker 4: her son or sorry, her daughter, and Henry who is
- 35:22Speaker 4: accompanied by the park ranger Liz and Matt or whatever
- 35:26Speaker 4: his name with the goofy the guy with the goofy
- 35:28Speaker 4: fucking hair in the bandana around his neck. Then you
- 35:32Speaker 4: had the guys who are working for Eddie's father going
- 35:36Speaker 4: to look for the cocaine.
- 35:37Speaker 3: And you got this.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Rogue cap from like a county over something like that.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Just like, I have to be involved in this. I
- 35:45Speaker 4: knew the guy that fell from the plane. He's like
- 35:48Speaker 4: my white whale. And even the lady was like, well,
- 35:50Speaker 4: that's not even in your jurisdiction. He's like, I'm gonna
- 35:53Speaker 4: go there and I'm gonna solve this fucking crime. Because
- 35:55Speaker 4: I need to get him. And then there was there's
- 35:58Speaker 4: one more, right David and Eddie the mom, and then
- 36:03Speaker 4: you had the cop and I mean, I guess you could.
- 36:06Speaker 4: I guess you could rope in sid Rayleiota's character because
- 36:10Speaker 4: he comes out there by himself home, so you have
- 36:12Speaker 4: like four different people going into the woods. But I don't.
- 36:16Speaker 4: And we'll get to that in a second, because I
- 36:17Speaker 4: think the storytelling is actually surprisingly good. But before we move,
- 36:21Speaker 4: I wanted to talk about the kids doing cocaine because
- 36:23Speaker 4: that was that was so fucking hilarious. When they find
- 36:27Speaker 4: the cocaine in the forest and they go to open
- 36:30Speaker 4: it and they take the knife and they scoop out
- 36:32Speaker 4: probably like two or three grams of cocaine. And I
- 36:35Speaker 4: remember watching that in the theater, in the theater, in
- 36:38Speaker 4: front of God and everyone. I was like, oh, that's
- 36:40Speaker 4: too much, like really loudly, and I was like, oh fuck.
- 36:43Speaker 4: I was like, okay, Whoopsie's And then of course they
- 36:46Speaker 4: end up spitting most of it out because I was like,
- 36:49Speaker 4: that would have been an overdose right there. Kids that
- 36:52Speaker 4: size jamming an eight ball down their throat, Oh my god.
- 36:57Speaker 4: So that was hilarious. I thought that was funny. I mean,
- 36:59Speaker 4: I'm not I don't want kids doing drugs out there,
- 37:02Speaker 4: but I thought that was I thought that was absolutely
- 37:04Speaker 4: hilarious because the kids, you know, Henry's trying to seem
- 37:07Speaker 4: cool in front of Deedy, like, oh, I do drugs
- 37:09Speaker 4: all the time, and then he eats and he's like, oh,
- 37:11Speaker 4: these are terrible. These aren't the drugs I normally do.
- 37:14Speaker 3: It's fucking great.
- 37:16Speaker 4: So I really love that. I thought that was funny.
- 37:18Speaker 4: And again I'm not advocating children doing fucking drugs, but anyways,
- 37:23Speaker 4: so the storytelling is what I wanted to talk about
- 37:25Speaker 4: next because it's I do feel like it's pretty strong.
- 37:28Speaker 4: We mentioned there's like four or five timelines or not timelines,
- 37:32Speaker 4: but like four or five storylines. But I don't really
- 37:35Speaker 4: feel like it's overwhelming or they're trying to do too
- 37:37Speaker 4: much at once. How do you feel about how many
- 37:40Speaker 4: people were involved and the end goal for everyone?
- 37:43Speaker 3: Personally? I don't think it was too much at all,
- 37:46Speaker 3: but like, upon watching it and then reading reviews and
- 37:49Speaker 3: stuff for like the I was just like, yeah, I mean,
- 37:52Speaker 3: I guess I can see why that might have turned
- 37:54Speaker 3: some people off, because like they were a handful of
- 37:56Speaker 3: reviews that I read where people were like, hoo much
- 37:58Speaker 3: going on. I'm like, yeah, like there's a lot of
- 38:01Speaker 3: subplots going on, But at the same time, is there
- 38:04Speaker 3: too much, because like, really, nothing's it's just bringing them
- 38:06Speaker 3: all together so they can all be in the forest
- 38:08Speaker 3: and get fucking killed.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Like, yeah, it would be one thing if you had
- 38:12Speaker 4: four different plot lines where people were going different ways,
- 38:16Speaker 4: but they all nearly everyone arrives at the ranger station
- 38:20Speaker 4: and goes from there. So you're just watching people at
- 38:23Speaker 4: different moments in time arrive at this ranger station and
- 38:26Speaker 4: continue on with their day. So I really enjoyed that.
- 38:31Speaker 4: So obviously, the beginning opens with the guy, and this
- 38:34Speaker 4: is such a great opening.
- 38:35Speaker 3: It's just a.
- 38:35Speaker 4: Guy who's clearly geeked out of his mind on cocaine,
- 38:40Speaker 4: just fucking throwing bags out the window, just freaking yeating bags,
- 38:45Speaker 4: and he straps a bunch to himself, goes to jump
- 38:48Speaker 4: out of the plane and thunk right in the head
- 38:50Speaker 4: and just falls to his death. So again with the
- 38:54Speaker 4: the parrot opening with the text and then seeing that,
- 38:56Speaker 4: I was like, this is so great. So, like I said,
- 39:01Speaker 4: the cop recognizes the man from the local news report
- 39:05Speaker 4: realizes something is going on and goes into the area
- 39:07Speaker 4: to investigate. Then you have Henry and de Ede skipping
- 39:10Speaker 4: school to go to the mountain. Oh, I forgot, forgot
- 39:12Speaker 4: to include them. Then you have David and Eddie who
- 39:16Speaker 4: actually owned the cocaine well you know their boss does.
- 39:19Speaker 4: And then ranger Liz Peter there we go. Indeede's mother
- 39:22Speaker 4: go down there as well. So you have all these
- 39:24Speaker 4: people going in there. And what I love about the
- 39:26Speaker 4: structure is everyone is moving through the same physical space
- 39:32Speaker 4: without realizing how interconnected their paths are. And at one
- 39:35Speaker 4: moment you see Liz, Peter and Sari go to the
- 39:41Speaker 4: right on one path, and then you see David and
- 39:44Speaker 4: Eddie with that the punk guy that David beats the
- 39:48Speaker 4: shit out of in the bathroom, which was great, go
- 39:51Speaker 4: down another path. And the funniest thing to me about
- 39:54Speaker 4: that is the cop arrives last, but somehow beats everybody
- 39:59Speaker 4: to the gazebe Oh did you notice that.
- 40:03Speaker 3: It's like he just fucking knew where to go.
- 40:07Speaker 4: Well, I have a feeling that the guy that was
- 40:09Speaker 4: leading David and Eddie was kind of beating them around
- 40:12Speaker 4: the bush, you know, and Eddie or sorry, you know, Julie,
- 40:18Speaker 4: damn it. Sari, Liz and Peter were going to the falls,
- 40:23Speaker 4: which was not the gazebo. So I feel like somehow
- 40:25Speaker 4: that cop just like knew and he blined there beat
- 40:29Speaker 4: everybody and I thought that was hilarious.
- 40:32Speaker 3: So and then gets up on the roof like a stuck. Wait,
- 40:37Speaker 3: how do I get down? Well, I don't know how
- 40:39Speaker 3: the fuck did you even get up?
- 40:41Speaker 4: That's exactly what I said. He's on top of the
- 40:45Speaker 4: gazebo when David Eddie and that punk guy arrived, and
- 40:49Speaker 4: I'm like, how in the fuck did you get up there?
- 40:52Speaker 4: And he's like, how do I get down? I'm like, no,
- 40:54Speaker 4: you answer my question first, pal like wait a second,
- 40:57Speaker 4: hold on, And of course by this point, the bear
- 41:01Speaker 4: is already coked up. I mean he I can't believe
- 41:05Speaker 4: that Dedi got away from the bear because when Liz
- 41:09Speaker 4: and Sari meet Henry, because they find Henry first, because
- 41:13Speaker 4: Dede has fucked off somewhere else because she got attacked,
- 41:17Speaker 4: and that whole scene where Henry's in the tree and
- 41:22Speaker 4: the bear comes around and starts attacking people, and then
- 41:24Speaker 4: Peter climbs a tree and Henry's like, bears can't climb trees,
- 41:27Speaker 4: and Peter's like, no, that's like the thing they're good at.
- 41:30Speaker 4: Like Jesus Christ, what is happening in this movie? That
- 41:34Speaker 4: whole scene was great because fucking' uh. Peter doesn't make it,
- 41:37Speaker 4: he gets he gets real killed, real fast. Sari and
- 41:41Speaker 4: Henry managed to make it, and they continue to track
- 41:43Speaker 4: down Dedi, and then ranger Liz just fucks off. She's like,
- 41:46Speaker 4: I'm going to get help, like you are the help,
- 41:51Speaker 4: aren't you. You've got the gun, don't you have her raining? Yeah,
- 41:56Speaker 4: I'm getting I'm getting better back up, which is hilarious.
- 41:59Speaker 4: What happens to her, which we'll get to. So the
- 42:02Speaker 4: Bear wants more cocaine. I mean, that's it. That's the
- 42:04Speaker 4: whole that's the whole thing. All these people are here
- 42:06Speaker 4: for these different reasons. The bear is just like, I
- 42:08Speaker 4: need more cocaine in my system. And all of these
- 42:12Speaker 4: individual storylines keep colliding until the movie reaches the point
- 42:15Speaker 4: where there's basically no longer a plot, it's just momentum.
- 42:19Speaker 4: And that's when Cocaine Bear really starts cooking. In my opinion,
- 42:25Speaker 4: Like I said, you have the first encounter with Sari,
- 42:28Speaker 4: Liz and Peter. That whole scene was great. She fucks
- 42:32Speaker 4: off to the cabin to get real help, and just
- 42:35Speaker 4: when you think it can't get any more ridiculous, at
- 42:37Speaker 4: that point, the EMTs arrive and they have no idea
- 42:42Speaker 4: what they're walking into, which was great.
- 42:44Speaker 3: I think, am I.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Getting my shit confused? No, before the EMTs are EMTs arrived,
- 42:50Speaker 4: the punks are in the in that little lodge that
- 42:53Speaker 4: are still kind of you know, recuperating after you know,
- 42:56Speaker 4: having a skateboard thrown in their face, and Ranger Liz
- 42:59Speaker 4: comes back and one of the punks is like, oh
- 43:01Speaker 4: my god, it's outside the door the bear. So he
- 43:04Speaker 4: opens the door and then he accidentally gets shot in
- 43:07Speaker 4: the head. I can't fucking tell you how much I
- 43:10Speaker 4: laugh every time that happens.
- 43:12Speaker 3: I know, it's totally unexpected.
- 43:15Speaker 4: I always I always forget about that moment, and every
- 43:18Speaker 4: time it happened, literally every time it happens, Like Jesus,
- 43:23Speaker 4: I shouldn't be laughing. Someone just accidentally got killed. And
- 43:26Speaker 4: the whole conversation was like, did you just shoot my budget?
- 43:29Speaker 3: Like it was an accident.
- 43:30Speaker 4: He jumped in front of the gun. Uh ten out
- 43:33Speaker 4: of ten no notes. It is so fucking hilarious. I mean,
- 43:36Speaker 4: I don't think he really deserved to die, but goddamn it,
- 43:38Speaker 4: like you just stepped in front of a fucking person
- 43:40Speaker 4: with a gun.
- 43:41Speaker 3: What are you doing? Yeah? No, that was one of
- 43:44Speaker 3: those things because like the first time I watched it,
- 43:46Speaker 3: of course I wasn't expecting that. And then I haven't
- 43:48Speaker 3: watched it since it initially released. Oh yeah, I wasn't
- 43:51Speaker 3: expecting that.
- 43:53Speaker 4: So then of course the bear barges his way into
- 43:56Speaker 4: that ranger station, and then and then the EMTs arrived there.
- 44:00Speaker 4: You know, they see the they can't open the door
- 44:02Speaker 4: because the dead guy is behind it. They find ranger
- 44:05Speaker 4: Liz and the guy, the EMT guy is actually really
- 44:09Speaker 4: famous TikToker. I can't remember his name, Yeah, Scott Seiss. Yeah,
- 44:13Speaker 4: so he's actually like a really famous TikToker. He's in
- 44:16Speaker 4: this movie and he was great.
- 44:17Speaker 3: He did yeah, he did it. Fucking Like his tiktoks
- 44:20Speaker 3: are fucking hilarious because I'm also an angry, fucking retail worker,
- 44:23Speaker 3: so like I connect to him. But he's like a
- 44:27Speaker 3: pretty like at least you know, the little bit of
- 44:29Speaker 3: movie time that he got, like he's pretty genuinely decent actor.
- 44:32Speaker 3: It's unfortunate that he, like I guess he just does
- 44:35Speaker 3: his stand up comedy or whatever, but like he could
- 44:37Speaker 3: totally be in movies.
- 44:38Speaker 4: And be Yeah, no, I agree. He was great in
- 44:41Speaker 4: that because after they realize the bear is there, the
- 44:44Speaker 4: bear jumps on the door on top of him. Somehow
- 44:47Speaker 4: he gets it off I can't remember. But then the
- 44:50Speaker 4: other Emt chick gets Ranger Liz in the uh fucking gurney,
- 44:56Speaker 4: loads her up, and then he's like way and jumps
- 44:59Speaker 4: on the back. That whole scene is one of my favorite,
- 45:02Speaker 4: probably my favorite fucking scene because as soon as he
- 45:04Speaker 4: gets onto the truck he can't get the doors closed
- 45:07Speaker 4: and can't get the doors closed, and then that shot
- 45:09Speaker 4: of the bear jump, I mean, dude, bro jumps like
- 45:13Speaker 4: thirty forty feet into the van while it's moving. Such
- 45:17Speaker 4: a great shot, but he demolishes everybody in that van. Really,
- 45:21Speaker 4: he demolishes you know, Scott first, and then fucking Ranger
- 45:27Speaker 4: Liz like flies out and lands on her face and
- 45:30Speaker 4: skids down the road, which I also forgot.
- 45:34Speaker 3: That was crazy.
- 45:35Speaker 4: And then the lady Emt hits a tree and fucking
- 45:38Speaker 4: flies out the window and I'm like, oh my god,
- 45:41Speaker 4: I forgot how everyone in this scene dies. It was
- 45:45Speaker 4: very graphically, very graphically, and that shot of her flying
- 45:49Speaker 4: out the window was done so well. Obviously her flying
- 45:52Speaker 4: out with CG and once you hit a certain part
- 45:55Speaker 4: they flipped the CG into her rolling over. But that
- 45:58Speaker 4: was great. I was like, well, everybody's dead and the
- 46:00Speaker 4: bear just fucks off. He's like, yeah, I'm I'm done here.
- 46:02Speaker 4: I'm gonna go find some more cocaine and go have
- 46:04Speaker 4: some fun. But that was a great scene. The gazebo
- 46:08Speaker 4: standoff is another great example of how this movie balances
- 46:12Speaker 4: various characters and letting the situation spiral out of control.
- 46:16Speaker 4: And I love when the bear does show up wanting
- 46:21Speaker 4: more cocaine and it just like kind of it like
- 46:23Speaker 4: kind of starts bear hugging Eddie and like I don't
- 46:26Speaker 4: know what it's doing. It's kind of wrestling around, and
- 46:28Speaker 4: then it just falls asleep on top of him and
- 46:30Speaker 4: he's like.
- 46:31Speaker 3: What is he?
- 46:32Speaker 4: What does one of them say? He's like, hey, is
- 46:33Speaker 4: he still alive? And Eddie's like she and like what
- 46:36Speaker 4: do you mean? She's like his her vagina is on
- 46:38Speaker 4: my ear? How do you know that's the vagina?
- 46:43Speaker 3: Eddie?
- 46:43Speaker 4: How do you know so much about bear anatomy?
- 46:45Speaker 3: No? Fuck?
- 46:46Speaker 4: And then the officer just starts raining cocaine on the
- 46:49Speaker 4: bear and it's just it's just it's like peak cinema
- 46:53Speaker 4: in so many ways. It's just the most ridiculous, over
- 46:55Speaker 4: the top thing. But I love it. I mean, I
- 46:59Speaker 4: are we on this page here with how just fun
- 47:01Speaker 4: this movie is? Oh? Absolutely okay, I'm just making sure,
- 47:05Speaker 4: uh because really, I mean I feel like we're basically
- 47:09Speaker 4: almost in like a cartoon logic.
- 47:13Speaker 3: With human with real live live action. Right.
- 47:17Speaker 4: It feels like so cartoonish but it's really granted, and
- 47:22Speaker 4: so everybody dies, but it's very you know, like that
- 47:24Speaker 4: Home Alone asked, where like shit's happening that would never
- 47:27Speaker 4: really happen, and it's.
- 47:28Speaker 3: Very Looney Tunes. Only in Home Alone, they don't fucking die.
- 47:31Speaker 3: But I still really dead.
- 47:34Speaker 4: I still really I mean, we we kind of have
- 47:36Speaker 4: a like an adult Home Alone its saw, but like
- 47:39Speaker 4: I genuinely want to see like an adult like an
- 47:42Speaker 4: R rated Home Alone where it's set in a house
- 47:45Speaker 4: where this guy is setting you know, I would love
- 47:47Speaker 4: to see that. Fucking love to see that uh so, yeah,
- 47:52Speaker 4: you have all that happen. And then Raliota fucking shows
- 47:55Speaker 4: up out of nowhere. And this is also kind of
- 47:57Speaker 4: like an emotional moment too, when Radiota shows up because
- 48:00Speaker 4: Eddie and de Vite are like, fuck this, we're done,
- 48:02Speaker 4: we're leaving, and they run into ray Liota and he's like, no,
- 48:04Speaker 4: you don't understand. These people are going to be coming
- 48:08Speaker 4: after me if they don't care if they we don't
- 48:10Speaker 4: get this cocaine, they don't care what happens. They care
- 48:13Speaker 4: about the money that they're losing. So if they come
- 48:15Speaker 4: after me and I don't have it, they're gonna come
- 48:18Speaker 4: after my family. And I was like, ooh that hit
- 48:20Speaker 4: me on like a oh fuck, you're right, Like he
- 48:22Speaker 4: doesn't really want to do this either, but he's like,
- 48:24Speaker 4: I need to protect my family. And you can tell
- 48:27Speaker 4: that Eddie and Sid have had a very fucked up
- 48:31Speaker 4: relationship because his dad is a cocaine dealer. Also Eddie's
- 48:35Speaker 4: wife girlfriend something someone died. Yeah, and he was just say,
- 48:40Speaker 4: oh my god. When he's sitting there eating the chicken
- 48:42Speaker 4: wings at the edge of the bar. It's a sad moment,
- 48:44Speaker 4: but it's so goddamn funny. So there's actually like some
- 48:48Speaker 4: emotional stakes to this movie. I mean there really is,
- 48:50Speaker 4: which is which is interesting for Cocaine Bear. You don't
- 48:54Speaker 4: expect to like have those kind of heartfelt moments, but
- 48:57Speaker 4: they're in there. And I think I love Rayle Yoa
- 49:00Speaker 4: in this movie for many reasons. One it's Raaliota, he's
- 49:04Speaker 4: a legend. But two, this is actually the last movie
- 49:07Speaker 4: that was finished before he passed away. And he's usually
- 49:12Speaker 4: this tough guy being you know, like like Goodfellas and
- 49:16Speaker 4: like he's just.
- 49:17Speaker 3: Usually this tough guy.
- 49:18Speaker 4: But in this movie he gets maulled by Baby Bears,
- 49:22Speaker 4: and like it's like I love like that's how he
- 49:25Speaker 4: went out, you know what I mean. Like it's sad
- 49:28Speaker 4: because he literally died in real life, but it's like
- 49:31Speaker 4: this is the last thing, one of the last things
- 49:33Speaker 4: he did, and he's getting mauled by Baby Bears. I
- 49:36Speaker 4: just I think it's just a kind of a funny
- 49:38Speaker 4: way for for him to like leave a legacy.
- 49:41Speaker 3: And he's like, look, I've been in enough acclaimed fucking movie.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Not that he knew that this would be his last movie,
- 49:47Speaker 3: but you know, I think every actor of status gets
- 49:51Speaker 3: to a point where they're like, I can you know what,
- 49:54Speaker 3: I'm fucking Raleiota. I can do whatever I want. I
- 49:56Speaker 3: was in Good Fellas, I was in fucking like, dude,
- 49:58Speaker 3: I fucking love Raleota. Wild Hogs, Dude.
- 50:02Speaker 4: Dude, I love wild Hogs. It's like such a dumb movie,
- 50:05Speaker 4: but I fucking love wild Hogs.
- 50:07Speaker 3: And yeah, the same.
- 50:08Speaker 4: He's so serious in that movie when he really is
- 50:12Speaker 4: just it's like, there's no reason to be this angry
- 50:14Speaker 4: about suburban bikers. He's like, it's assholes like you who
- 50:19Speaker 4: think they're bikers and he gets so, you know, easy
- 50:22Speaker 4: rider on it. It's just it's so fucking funny. But yeah,
- 50:25Speaker 4: I legitimately love him and wild Hogs. I was gonna
- 50:27Speaker 4: say wild Hogs, but I didn't want for people to
- 50:29Speaker 4: be like, that's the fucking thing you pick, So thank
- 50:31Speaker 4: you for me.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that was a I that was a movie
- 50:37Speaker 3: that like has no right to be as good as
- 50:39Speaker 3: it is.
- 50:40Speaker 4: Let's be real, it's hilarious. Honestly, it has terrible ratings,
- 50:44Speaker 4: but it's so funny to me. Of course, now I
- 50:47Speaker 4: can't remember his name. The shoveler from Mystery Men, William H.
- 50:51Speaker 4: Macy is yeah, peak comedy in that movie. He is
- 50:55Speaker 4: so fucking funny, and him together with Tim Allen, John Travolta,
- 51:00Speaker 4: and Martin Lawrence is so it's so funny. I love
- 51:05Speaker 4: it so much. It's definitely one of those guilty pleasure
- 51:08Speaker 4: movies because by all accounts it's really not like a
- 51:12Speaker 4: good movie, but it's so fucking funny. I mean that
- 51:15Speaker 4: scene at the end of the movie where they get
- 51:17Speaker 4: their bar rebuilt and that one guy is like crying
- 51:19Speaker 4: over it. It's like, what it is so fucking funny.
- 51:24Speaker 4: Hell yeah, Justice for Wild Hogs. Yeah, but yeah, Raleio
- 51:31Speaker 4: is a fucking legend, Like I mean him, him just
- 51:33Speaker 4: even being in this movie for the little bit that
- 51:35Speaker 4: he had was so. I remember seeing the trailer for
- 51:38Speaker 4: this and I was like, fucking Ralelyodo, what are you
- 51:41Speaker 4: doing in Cocaine?
- 51:42Speaker 3: Bear?
- 51:43Speaker 4: Like ten out of ten? Ten out of ten? No notes, Uh,
- 51:47Speaker 4: the bear itself is you know, we gotta talk about
- 51:51Speaker 4: the star of the movie here. It's not great, Like
- 51:53Speaker 4: I said, it's not great cg at sometimes, but other
- 51:55Speaker 4: times it's pretty solid. And I know there was definitely
- 51:58Speaker 4: some sort of a like bear head that was used
- 52:02Speaker 4: I'm assuming for like those close up moments, but then
- 52:05Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it's definitely fully CG
- 52:07Speaker 4: because there's I don't think there's a moment where any
- 52:09Speaker 4: part of that bear is real. I could be wrong.
- 52:12Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a definitely no. No, I think you're right.
- 52:17Speaker 3: It's all you know, even if it was a real bear,
- 52:21Speaker 3: they used CG to blend it with the rest of
- 52:23Speaker 3: the CG bear that they had to create.
- 52:26Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not like damaging to the movie. And
- 52:29Speaker 4: in my in my in my opinion, because like it's,
- 52:32Speaker 4: like I said, we're already kind of in this cartoonish world,
- 52:35Speaker 4: So this bear that doesn't look fully real isn't a
- 52:40Speaker 4: deal breaker for me because I'm like, it's it's already
- 52:42Speaker 4: so cartoonish. So it's one of those times.
- 52:45Speaker 3: But I mean it's it's good enough. It's not like
- 52:47Speaker 3: it's hut and paste from a clip art like sci
- 52:51Speaker 3: fi original style or whatever that would be. You know,
- 52:53Speaker 3: you you feel like these people are actually interacting with
- 52:56Speaker 3: this bear, whether they were or not.
- 52:58Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, that's exactly my point. So you feel like
- 53:02Speaker 4: he's really there doing these crazy things, sniffing lines of cocaine,
- 53:06Speaker 4: it's fucking hilarious and so yeah, so like it doesn't
- 53:09Speaker 4: it doesn't really take away from the movie at all
- 53:11Speaker 4: for me, cause again, we're watching Cocaine Bear, like the
- 53:14Speaker 4: visual effects accomplish what they need to accomplish. A giant
- 53:18Speaker 4: black bear running around the woods, terrorizing people on cocaine
- 53:21Speaker 4: and occasionally behaving like it's having the best fucking day
- 53:26Speaker 4: of its life, which is hilarious because that moment when
- 53:29Speaker 4: the cop is like dangling all the cocaine off the side,
- 53:33Speaker 4: he's like on its hind legs just kind of like sniffing,
- 53:36Speaker 4: and then he's just doing this scene where he's like
- 53:38Speaker 4: got his tongue out and it's in slow motion and
- 53:40Speaker 4: it's hilarious. Like it doesn't even make sense. But that's
- 53:43Speaker 4: kind of the whole point, because I don't even think
- 53:46Speaker 4: the bear is hunting them because he hates people. They're
- 53:49Speaker 4: just obstacles between him and his next bump of coke.
- 53:53Speaker 4: He just wants a cocaine like this.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he's an animal who doesn't understand what's going on,
- 53:58Speaker 3: like most coke heads.
- 54:02Speaker 4: I need another bump, man, uh so yeah, I mean, really,
- 54:06Speaker 4: that's the only thing that doesn't work for me is
- 54:08Speaker 4: the CG. But like I said, it doesn't really impact
- 54:11Speaker 4: my rating. It's just sometimes I'm like, eh, that's that's
- 54:14Speaker 4: a little rough, especially when the baby bears pop up
- 54:17Speaker 4: and it's like the last it's like the last scene
- 54:19Speaker 4: of the movie where the new people are filming the
- 54:23Speaker 4: bear and the cubs pop up, and I was like, oh,
- 54:25Speaker 4: it's a little rough. But what I love about the
- 54:27Speaker 4: ending where le ray Liota is getting mauled to death
- 54:29Speaker 4: by these bears. It's just it's a dark scene by
- 54:31Speaker 4: a waterfall, so a lot of that CG is able
- 54:34Speaker 4: to be kind of masked within the darkness. And how
- 54:36Speaker 4: how how it's contrasted, so agreed, Yeah, that was a
- 54:40Speaker 4: great moment. And then yeah, he just gets his entrails
- 54:43Speaker 4: ripped open and then falls off the cliff, and doesn't
- 54:46Speaker 4: he get hot? Like he gets hung by his own entrails, right,
- 54:50Speaker 4: He like falls off the cliff and then is his
- 54:52Speaker 4: like fucking intestines get caught on a branch and then
- 54:55Speaker 4: he gets Yeah, he gets hung up, And I'm like, that.
- 54:57Speaker 3: Is that is just a terrible insult to inj My
- 55:01Speaker 3: good lord, you guys just don't know when to stop.
- 55:05Speaker 4: So I think the only thing I have is, uh,
- 55:08Speaker 4: the the ending, which kind of ties back in to
- 55:11Speaker 4: the beginning, where it says like authorities never recovered any
- 55:14Speaker 4: of Andrew Thornton's dumped cocaine. As far as we know,
- 55:17Speaker 4: it's still somewhere out in the forest. And I love
- 55:20Speaker 4: that because it's such a silly joke. Like, by the way,
- 55:22Speaker 4: we haven't still found the cocaine. It's probably not good
- 55:27Speaker 4: at this point anymore. You know, it's been thirty forty years,
- 55:31Speaker 4: probably not probably not good. It's probably unless it was
- 55:34Speaker 4: like vacuum sealed. But even then I probably wouldn't touch it.
- 55:38Speaker 4: And don't don't shut off the movie immediately, because there
- 55:41Speaker 4: are a couple of like mid credit scenes that you
- 55:44Speaker 4: see and then at the end of the credits you
- 55:47Speaker 4: hear this growl and then like a and I thought
- 55:50Speaker 4: that was hilarious. It is so so silly. Yeah, I
- 55:55Speaker 4: apparently there is a I mean, at least according to
- 55:58Speaker 4: the letterbox, there is a Cocaine Bear two on letterbox,
- 56:00Speaker 4: And I mean, sure, what the why the fuck not?
- 56:04Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you? I mean, come on, just more more carnage.
- 56:08Speaker 4: This doesn't even have to have so many working parts
- 56:10Speaker 4: because Raliot is dead, Eddie and fucking David left, Carrie
- 56:14Speaker 4: Russell has her kid back. You could just make this
- 56:17Speaker 4: about people just getting fucked up in the woods.
- 56:19Speaker 3: Fucking yeah, yeah. I could almost be just an animal
- 56:21Speaker 3: slasher movie. If you ever made a sequel.
- 56:24Speaker 4: Please give me a bear on cocaine with a giant machete.
- 56:28Speaker 4: That is exactly what I.
- 56:29Speaker 3: Well, I didn't mean like that, but I meant like
- 56:31Speaker 3: the camper style, five or six people go out into
- 56:34Speaker 3: the woods to camp and then they run into the
- 56:36Speaker 3: ban No I know, but I will gladly accept a
- 56:38Speaker 3: bear on cocaine fucking slashing people Jason style as well.
- 56:42Speaker 4: He just picks it up in his mouth and just
- 56:43Speaker 4: start fucking whipping it around. No, man, fuck that, Let's
- 56:47Speaker 4: just go all out grabs it with his paw, act
- 56:49Speaker 4: like Jason. If we're gonna go that balls to the wall, bonkers,
- 56:53Speaker 4: let's do.
- 56:54Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 56:54Speaker 4: My god, I really need that movie. Also completely unrelated
- 56:59Speaker 4: to co cane bear, but I just remembered because you
- 57:02Speaker 4: brought up were wolves on wheels at the beginning of this.
- 57:05Speaker 4: I am one hundred percent. After I finish editing my
- 57:09Speaker 4: wife's screenplay of her vampire movie. I am absolutely writing
- 57:14Speaker 4: a better version of were Wolves on Wheels because I
- 57:18Speaker 4: want to make I just like so, what I've heard
- 57:21Speaker 4: from the industry right is if you go pitch a movie,
- 57:24Speaker 4: you need to have like two or three done screenplays
- 57:28Speaker 4: so that that way people can see if you're like
- 57:31Speaker 4: a one hit wonder or eh, we're not so much
- 57:33Speaker 4: on this idea, what else do you have? So me
- 57:35Speaker 4: and her, me and her trying to bang out some
- 57:37Speaker 4: scripts one hundred percent. I don't even want to give
- 57:39Speaker 4: away the name of the movie because I don't want
- 57:40Speaker 4: someone to fucking copyright it or trademarkt I'll tell you later,
- 57:43Speaker 4: but I am in the process of starting that because
- 57:46Speaker 4: I'm gonna basically keep everything the same until they get
- 57:50Speaker 4: to the cults, and then after that it's gonna be
- 57:52Speaker 4: everything's gonna be different, because like, fuck that movie, what
- 57:55Speaker 4: a waste of time. And I don't normally shit on movies,
- 57:59Speaker 4: but don't call your movie wear Wolves on Wheels and
- 58:02Speaker 4: give me one were Wolf on one Wheels stupid. I'm
- 58:06Speaker 4: sorry I made you watch that. The lis It's okay
- 58:09Speaker 4: hanging over me for the rest of my life. So anyways,
- 58:12Speaker 4: my final thoughts here. Like we mentioned up top, Cocaine
- 58:15Speaker 4: Bear is exactly the movie the title promises. It is dumb,
- 58:20Speaker 4: it is ridiculous, There is a shocking amount of gore,
- 58:24Speaker 4: well structured, and most importantly, it's fun. Like, guys, this
- 58:27Speaker 4: movie is fun, okay, And it's not me sitting here
- 58:30Speaker 4: trying to convince you otherwise, but really, just turn your
- 58:34Speaker 4: brain off, fucking forget about everything in life and watch
- 58:38Speaker 4: a bear on cocaine mall people to death. I think
- 58:41Speaker 4: that's the biggest thing. Yeah, that's the biggest thing.
- 58:43Speaker 3: I want to see ultimate turn your brain off movie. Like, yeah,
- 58:46Speaker 3: off some fucking popcorn, grab a soda whatever you like
- 58:49Speaker 3: to drink, and sit down and forget that this terrible
- 58:52Speaker 3: world exists around us anyway, exactly.
- 58:56Speaker 4: And I think that's what I'm trying to emphasize here,
- 58:58Speaker 4: because the premise is so inherently stupid that the movie
- 59:01Speaker 4: could easily become a one joke novelty what if a
- 59:04Speaker 4: bear did cocaine? It's funny for like thirty seconds. But
- 59:07Speaker 4: the really the challenge with that statement is figuring out
- 59:11Speaker 4: how to turn that into an actual feature length story,
- 59:14Speaker 4: and Elizabeth Banks managed to do it well I mean,
- 59:17Speaker 4: I guess she directed it, someone else wrote it regardless,
- 59:21Speaker 4: Still they managed to do this and like in a
- 59:26Speaker 4: cohesive manner. That was all of the things I just mentioned.
- 59:29Speaker 4: It doesn't overstay, it's welcome, It never takes itself too seriously.
- 59:34Speaker 4: And if it understands that the audience showed up for
- 59:37Speaker 4: a specific reason, well at least the people who liked it,
- 59:39Speaker 4: at least, because this movie is not well liked. It
- 59:42Speaker 4: is not high art, it's not trying to be. It's
- 59:44Speaker 4: just can't be silly fun bear cocaine problems. I would
- 59:49Speaker 4: absolutely watch a sequel if there was one.
- 59:52Speaker 3: Literally one other fucking movie that I watched that I
- 59:55Speaker 3: forgot about, called The Boy from Below, and it has
- 59:58Speaker 3: d Wallace in it. But at one point, she's talking
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: with somebody because she owns a video store, and she says, no,
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: movies are escapism. You shouldn't be watching stuff that's just
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: gonna make you like real life. About the movie, that
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: movie was only like a two. But that that little
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: thing that she said just resonated with this whole friggin thing.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: Yeah, No, you're you're right. Dreams are meant or dreams
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: movies are meant to be. They are this kind of
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: dream like fictional place where anything can happen. And I
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: feel that some movies, yes, deserve a critical eye, like
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: The Shinings The Shining, You deserves a critical eye to
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: watch that movie and enjoy it. But for this movie,
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: Cocaine Bear, there's no you don't need to be like.
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: We have not been analyzing or critiquing this movie. We
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: just literally, if you've listened to this episode all the
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: way up to now, we've been talking about the things
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: that were fun about this movie because there's nothing to create.
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: There's nothing really to analyze. There's no deeper meaning to
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: this movie or subtext or theming really happening here. It's
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: literally just a fun movie exactly. That's what this is.
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: So any closing thoughts from Derek on Cocaine Bear.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: Just watch it and have a good time. If you've
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: never seen it, or if you have seen it and
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: it's been a while, it's just I'm gonna end it
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: with it's just a fun time. So just watch it,
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: enjoy it. What we just rambled on for about five minutes.
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's it's just just fucking check it out, man.
- 1:01:28Speaker 4: So that is Cocaine Bear from twenty twenty three. Let
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: us roll into the final cut. So two taglines here,
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: which are both fucking horrible. Get in line, like I
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: get it a line of cocaine, but yeah, get in
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: line for what like to bet whatever? And then inspired
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: it's inspired by true events. Okay, terrible. There were so
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: many other great like cocaine puns you could have. It's fine,
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: It's fine trivia. Raliota's final completed film, roll the or
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: his death on May twenty two. Fuck he's been dead
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: for four years, Collee. He passed away after he came
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: to re record his lines and post production. Elizabeth Banks
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: said that Leota praised the look of the Bear once
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: he got a look at it. Cocaine Bear was intended
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: to be a working title, but the producers decided to
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: release it under that name as they quote couldn't think
- 1:02:22Speaker 4: of anything else fair enough. Elizabeth Banks side of the
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: work of filmmakers John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, and Steven Spielberg
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: as influences on the film. She also noted that Jaws
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: and Jurassic Park played a role in how she shaped
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: the film. Goofs these are like some yeah, that's that's
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: fair goofs. You know, the two kids eat about a
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: tablespoon of cocaine each, and although they spent most of it,
- 1:02:44Speaker 4: doubt some would remain in their mouths, and they would
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: have inhaled some of what they sped out. Yet they
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: show no effects of having ingested cocaine. That's true, They
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: really didn't. They didn't act crazy this one.
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: I love.
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: Having a stethoscope in your ears does not prevent you
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: from hearing your colleague coming out calling out from the
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: other room. That's that's fair. Thornton is seen dead in
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: the stretcher, but his face and head are normal and undamaged.
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: A fall from an airplane would have severely smashed the
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: whole body, head included. And yeah, yeah, that's that's that's true.
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: And this one is the fucking petty one. The movie
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: is supposed to take place in nineteen eighty five, but
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: the ambulance that shows up to the ranger station is
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: a nineteen ninety four Ford Eco line get the fuck
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: out of here, NERD, Get out of here. That's no
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: one needs you, NERD. So rated five point nine out
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: of ten on IMDb. That is a two point nine
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: to five out of five for our purposes of the
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: nightmare index. Then it has a two point six out
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: of five on Letterbox, sixty five percent on the Tomato Meters,
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: seventy one percent audience score. What did you give this?
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: Give it a four?
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: Yeah, baby, I gave it a four as well. So
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: that is a freightmare certified slap and that gives us
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: a nightmare index of a three point four zero, which
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: is gonna stand in between Army of the Dead at
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: a three point three five and Ah Zombies at a
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: three point four to four out of five. Love that.
- 1:04:25Speaker 4: This is where shit gets crazy. Similar movies according to IMDb,
- 1:04:30Speaker 4: Violent Night, Renfield Strays, Knock at the Cabin, and Megan Okay.
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: Similar movies according to Letterbox, Over Your Dead Body, The
- 1:04:42Speaker 4: Suicide Squad, Lake Placid, The Hunt, and Ready or Not. Okay,
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: I have no words.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: I nope, I'm at a blank where they even came
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: up with half that shit?
- 1:04:55Speaker 4: I don't even understands, as is customary on this show.
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: I forgot to remind you to get funny reviews, so
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: I'll just.
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: I actually tried to look, but ifortunately couldn't really find anything,
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: we were all just subpar.
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: All right, I've got you I've got you, Don't you worry?
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: Uh? Okay?
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: Three stars from Jim Kaddock. Was this supposed to put
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: me off? Cocaine? Question mark? Two stars from Sydney. This
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: would have been a masterpiece if it went ten percent
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: harder in some places and seventy percent harder in others.
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: Ambulance scene was best picture, though, agreed. No stars but
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: a heart from David chen. I liked it when the
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: Bear did cocaine okay. Five stars from Alex Vlajo. Can't
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: wait for Fentanyl Moose.
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: I would watch Fentanyl Moose three a half.
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: Well, that one would be the fucking Moos doing fentanyl
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: and passing out, like fentanyl is a downer that's not
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: gonna do anything.
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: Drugs.
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure fentanyl is a downer. It probably three
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: and a half stars from Jeeba. I can't believe that
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: Paddington Bear changed changed his first name to Cocaine What
- 1:06:11Speaker 4: Paddington Bear Cocaine Bear?
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: No? Why I get is but like these people trying
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: to be witty and they're failing. So our reaction to
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: your review is better than your review.
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: That's a fact. So this one I only wrote down
- 1:06:24Speaker 4: because it was This was so ahead of its time.
- 1:06:28Speaker 4: I guess because this was reviewed February twenty fourth, twenty
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: twenty three, when the movie, like the day of the
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: movie came out, Right, we can only hope that this
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: marks the beginning of a franchise where different animals take drugs.
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: Really looking forward to LSD cow. But you have meth Gator,
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: you have crack Coon, you have this movie.
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: Did that?
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: Like this is the best This is the best review
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: ever because this happened.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it literally spawned a franchise.
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: Of Yeah, there's also Cocaine Shark. Pretty sure, there's a lot.
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: There's a lot now, like people have been definitely trying
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: to I guess profit off of Cocaine Bear by doing
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: things like meth Gator.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: There's also Cocaine Shark, Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space, cocaine.
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: Wa ko wait, go back to Cocaine Crabs from outer Space.
