    It’s time to lace up your gloves and bust out the bear-repellant! In this week’s episode of The Cinematic Schematic podcast we’re pitting two recent box office hits against each other in a Cocaine Bear vs Creed III showdown.

    Standing in the left corner, we have a movie featuring the most memable movie title since Snakes on a Plane. And in the other corner, we have the third entry in an unexpectedly solid sequel trilogy nobody not named Sylvester Stallone was asking for, Creed III.

    It’s Michael B. Jordan‘s anime-inspired directorial debut vs Elizabeth Banks‘s biggest box office winner since 2019’s Pitch Perfect 3.

    Joining hosts Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman to discuss this epic Cocaine Bear vs Creed III match is returning guest from Oklahoma’s Curbside Chronicle, Nathan Poppe. Not only is Nathan’s analysis a perfect fit for the cocaine bear’s shenanigans, but he also brings years of experience as a concert photographer to the table.

    In a Cocaine Bear vs Creed III showdown, which movie comes out on top? Tune in to our conversation providing spoiler-free reviews of each film before concluding with a verdict of which film takes home the championship belt.
