Michael Calore: I don’t think there’s any service in the internet that can give you that guarantee.
Lauren Goode: No, we live in the data revolution. It’s like the new industrial revolution. We’re in the data revolution.
Michael Calore: Well, we just went from bleak to dark.
Lauren Goode: I’m sorry. But now we’re going to give you some recommendations for fun recipes and apps that you can use to improve your life.
Michael Calore: Let’s do that, actually. Let’s take a break, and when we come back, we’ll do our recommendations.
Lauren Goode: OK.
[Break]
Michael Calore: All right. Welcome back. Angela.
Lauren Goode: Yes.
Michael Calore: You are our guest, so you get to go first. What is your recommendation for our audience?
Angela Watercutter: So this week sees the release of a little film called Cocaine Bear, and if you are somebody who thinks that a movie called Cocaine Bear is up your alley, trust me, you are correct. I’ll leave it at that.
Lauren Goode: This was directed by Elizabeth Banks?
Angela Watercutter: That’s correct. Yeah. Yeah.
Lauren Goode: I just listened to her on the Marc Maron podcast, and I was like, “Got to see Cocaine Bear.”
Angela Watercutter: Yeah. Yeah. No, she is … She’s fantastic. And yeah, it’s a movie about a bear who eats cocaine.
Michael Calore: And it’s based on a true story?
Angela Watercutter: It is, except the bear in the true story, I think, just overdosed and died, which is terribly sad. This one goes on a murderous rampage. That’s not spoiling anything that’s in the trailer, but yeah.
Lauren Goode: Did you see it in the theaters?
Angela Watercutter: I did.
Lauren Goode: And what was the reaction of people in the theaters?
Angela Watercutter: There was laughter and amused screaming, I would say. And shock. And shock and surprise. But yeah, I mean, again, as I said, if you think that a movie called Cocaine Bear sounds like something you are into, you are probably correct. Nobody’s expecting art house. We’re expecting midnight movie, future-cult-classic kind of stuff, and that’s what you get.
Lauren Goode: What kind of bear is this? Is it a grizzly?
Angela Watercutter: It’s a black bear or brown bear. I think black bear.
Michael Calore: It’s a cocaine bear.
Lauren Goode: Right, with a little white dusting on it.
Angela Watercutter: It is definitely a cocaine bear.
Lauren Goode: I can’t top that.
Michael Calore: Well, Lauren, you have to. What’s your recommendation?
Lauren Goode: I don’t know. I’m honestly at a little bit of a loss this week. I’m a little tired. I’ve been keeping some odd hours. So I mentioned the Marc Maron podcast. I do like Marc Maron’s podcast, and he recently did a standup, Mike, that you recommended to me offline called From Bleak to Dark.
