Is ‘Cocaine Bear’ Streaming on HBO Max or Netflix?

There have been plenty of wild news stories over the years — but the one behind Cocaine Bear might just take the cake.

Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear is loosely based on the true story of a bear that ingested a duffel bag full of cocaine. While we aren’t sure what exactly happened leading up to the animal’s death in real life, this dark comedy takes creative liberty in having the coked-out bear embark on a violent rampage.
