Cocaine Bear! It’s that movie that everyone was joking about for about a week and then completely forgot. Jay and Mike talk about it. They also talk about Knock at the Cabin, the latest film from N. Night Shyamalan. It’s about a cabin that has a knock at the cabin. They also talk about The Whale, starring Cocaine Bear!

It makes my happy!
Never stop!
I love how Mike has just given up
Second thing, I saw Avatar, but I know why no one is talking about it, because there's not much to talk about. Sure, it's a visual spectacle, but it's incredibly self indulgent. To the point it's like, oh yeah, I guess we need to get around to telling a story.
And the story itself is just kind of meh. The character arc of Jake deciding he can't be passive and has to fight should have been like the culmination of act 2, before the climax and fighting the villain. But instead that's like the last scene on the movie. It took 3 freaking hours to complete an arc that should have taken 45 minutes. But since Cameron decided to make what, 2-3 more movies it's going to really draw this very simple story out as much as possible. So yeah, it just doesn't have enough to actually say to warrant a 3 freaking hour long runtime. And if the took 3 hours to tell act 1, I'm sure act 2 and 3 are going to be equally long, drawn out, and have little to say.
Avatar is like that fish tank screen saver you used to install on your computer. Or it's like a Costco demo on the TVs. It's there to be a visually stunning display. But does it have much beyond that? Nope. Why is no one talking about it? Because they just watched the cinematic equivalent of a Costco TV demo for 3 hours. There's not much to say. "It looked pretty neat". Okay then.
