This time, JTRO and family travel to the future, where they must battle once more for humanity’s right to party.

Cocaine Bear
24 February 2023
Told you it gets weirder. Might look like a prank at first, but Cocaine Bear is actually a b-movie by Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games, Pitch Perfect) inspired by the story of a black bear who ingested illegal drugs in Georgia in 1985. The bear in this movie goes on a crazy rampage though…
