Summary
“These Country Bears… they busted through that ceiling!” - Chris
On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off Listener Request Month 2026 with a banger convo about the totally insane Disney animatronic nightmare film, The Country Bears! Why couldn’t these bears have some different personalities from one another? Did Beary’s parents just steal a bear cub from the woods? Was Willie Nelson paid in weed? Why couldn’t we get more Stephen Tobolowsky in this movie? And how many of these bears are hooked on honey? PLUS: Rest in Peace, Country Bears’ original drummer, Toots!
The Country Bears stars Christopher Walken, Stephen Tobolowsky, Daryl Mitchell, Diedrich Bader, M.C. Gainey, Alex Rocco, Queen Latifah, and the voices of Diedrich Bader, Haley Joel Osment, Candy Ford, James Gannon, Toby Huss, Kevin Michael Richardson, Stephen Root and Brad Garrett as Fred Bedderhead; directed by Peter Hastings.
