Yo welcome into the house of L podcast. I am Lauren Tom. Thanks so much for hanging out here with me.

My hope is that you click on both of the reviews. But if this is the only one you cared about, that's totally fine.

I figured I would split them up instead of putting them in the same episode and forcing people to hear about a movie that they didn't necessarily care about.

But I spent the weekend at the movies. I went to the movies twice this past weekend because there were two movies that I was really interested in seeing.

The first one is the one that we're going to discuss here cocaine bear cocaine bear.

And then I went and saw Ant Man and Wasp Quantum Mania, which is in the other episode.

And you can go right to that if you prefer or you can just listen to my review of cocaine bear.

Neither one of these, well, I can't say that for Ant Man Quantum Mania because there's so much other stuff connected to it.

But the cocaine bear review, I'm not going to belabor it. I'm just going to tell you about the time that I had the movie that it was and what I think happens next.

So I get a text from my best friend, Sophia. She says, hey, I want to go see that cocaine bear movie.

I say, yeah, it's on my list of things that I want to do too. So let's go.

We both luckily, like our schedule is almost never match up like this, but our schedule matched up for Friday after I was done with the radio show she was done producing the television shows that she works on over at WCIU.

So we're both near or in downtown. So block 37 kind of becomes the meeting place where we go and see movies.

I really like block 37. It's a little bit more expensive, but I can literally walk on in the pedway.

If it's cold, if it's nice out, I get a nice walk outside, but I can walk the pedway from the score studios to block 37 in like 15 minutes.

And it's nice and easy and I go, it's nine, 15 minutes more like 10 minutes, 10 minutes is nice and easy and I'm right there and good to go.

So she was interested in cocaine bear. I was interested because we have been talking about it on the show.

Dan and I had discussed this from the trailer of the movie, like the concept of the movie. Now, if you don't know, the story is loosely and loosely is doing a lot of things.

You want a lot of heavy lifting here loosely based on a true story where there was a large amount of cocaine that was found in the mountains by a bear and the bear ingested the cocaine and sadly in the real life story.

I guess I shouldn't say sadly compared to what it was in the movie, but sadly the bear died of an overdose because it's cocaine.

And the bear and bears don't do cocaine. So as you can imagine, the doing copious amounts of cocaine, what it might do to a bear's heart, it stopped it.

So that bear died, but that was the jumping off point and with the idea of being and I like it like it's a creative idea of what would happen if the bear got high off the cocaine and kept craving the cocaine and then went on a spree went on a killing spree.
