The Good, The Bad, and The What!?

GBW #87: Nefarious Necessities (The Edge / Grizzly / Claws / BONUS: Cocaine Bear)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

This week, in honor of the release of "Cocaine Bear," Chris and Ryan dive into three films about killer bears. Before the traditional GBW structure, we start with a mini-review of "Cocaine Bear." Then, we move into 1997's "The Edge," the David Mamet-penned "men vs. nature" turned "man vs. man" thriller that's gripping, has great set pieces with the late Bart the Bear, and is a better treaty on class than a lot of its contemporaries like "The Menu" or "Triangle of Sadness." Then, we move into blatant "Jaws" knockoff "Grizzly" from 1976, which sports some terrific gore and bear attack sequences, and a not-so-terrific *gestures broadly at everything.* Finally, we move into what is most likely an alien transmission from outer space with 1977's "Claws."
