This week on New Release (episode #153 overall and #2—of 2—in our BAD NEWS BEARS miniseries) … apex podcasters James, Jenn, and Drew form a line for the latest, greatest movie about a big animal doing massive amounts of cocaine. Cocaine Bear is what it says it is. Based on approximately 1% of a real news story from the 80s—where a bear died after ingesting drugs that fell from the sky—this piece of historical fiction sacrifices accuracy for thrills and brutal kills. We discuss our favorite maulings, how the characters got us hooked, and whether or not this movie is pro powder. Whatever you do … DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS BLOW—unless they’re adorable wittle baby bears. Listen with reckless abandon by searching ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe. And join us for Bend It Like Beckham next week!
