Cocaine Bear with Keri Russell

“Pass” was my first reaction when the Gofobo email arrived in my inbox with the headline, “Watch the new trailer for Cocaine Bear.” That sounded like a complete shitshow of a premise for a movie if I ever heard one. Seriously? Horror comedy is tricky, but have we devolved soContinue Reading
