Cocaine Bear: A Beary Wild Good Time
The Countdown City Geeks sat down for one of the strangest movie reviews possibly ever. Hear their non-spoiler take on the Bear-Gone-Wild tale of Cocaine Bear!
Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood.

The Bad News Bears meets Long Beach California in MGM’s ‘The Underdoggs’
A formula that has worked many times in the past, but this film doesn’t shy away from it, it embraces it. The Underdoggs features Snoop Dogg and comedian Mike Epps in a “laugh-out-loud-near-parody of other youth sports team with a less than ideal role model” movie. You won’t be surprised to learn that this film is also Rated R and deservingly so. In the first frame of the film, you are welcomed with a sort of welcome ad that sets the tone right away that you wouldn’t bring your 8-year-old to see this.
Snoop as Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings is intriguing. The legendary rapper is mostly mild tempered or laid back when he appears in interviews or other movies. In The Underdoggs he spends most of his time cursing out children which sounds less appealing than it actually is. Most of the humor from his character comes from berating other characters, whether it be the kids on the team or veteran comedian Mike Epps.
Mike falls directly into the role he’s been playing since Friday After Next as Day-Day. I half expected Ice Cube to make some kind of appearance in this film, but it doesn’t happen. The story is quite familiar, but you are never too comfortable with the on-goings on screen. The shenanigans of the kids, the banter between Snoop and Epps, or Andrew Schultz as the insufferable Chip Collins is enough to keep you on your heels or the floor laughing. The Underdoggs is now streaming on Prime Video and if you sit down to watch it, don’t bring your 8-year-old or your momma.

Synopsis: Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings (Snoop Dogg) is a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and few of his ex-teammates and rediscovers his love of the game.
