Legends Podcast #632; Cocaine Bear (2023)

Based on a true story - sort of - this Elizabeth Banks-directed film bit off a chunk of the box office earlier this year. In the style of Snakes on a Plane and Sharknado, its absurd title promised campy animal chaos that audiences needed to see to believe. When a drug smuggler dumps kilos of Columbian cocaine on Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia, a bear then snorts the coke and goes on a bloody bender. Starring Keri Russell, Ray Liota, Margo Martindale, Isaiah Whitlock Jr., Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson, some kids and a CGI black bear, the film packs in scares, gags, and gore into 90-minutes of drug-fueled ursine rampage. When the movie is called Cocaine Bear, you have to wonder if it’s up to snuff or simply unbearable to watch.
