Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Cocaine Bear

The Marvel universe plunges yet again into a multiverse with "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," in which Paul Rudd's Ant-Man character and his family members again find themselves immersed in the Quantum realm. HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss this third "Ant-Man" film in a podcast episode in which Marie enjoyed being surrounded by all of the special effects and Mike instead felt trapped by them. Marie and Mike agree that the script's treatment of its characters was not always satisfying, namely, what is Bill Murray doing in the Quantum realm? Marie and Mike also discuss "Cocaine Bear," which is, yes, loosely based on an actual 1985 incident in which a bear ingested a smuggler's cocaine dumped in a forest. Although Marie and Mike did laugh a lot at the silliness here, the movie's extreme violence did bother them at times.
