Ryan Coogler Spills On Love Affair With Coke Freestyle Machine: 'I Got Involved'
"Coogler spilled, "I'm not a big soda person, but when they started to let you mix and match the drinks, I got involved with that." Leave it to a visionary filmmaker to understand the artistic implications, freedom of expression, and revolutionary status of messing around with the various soft drinks and flavored syrups on a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine. Mixing Sprite Zero, Barq's French Vanilla, and Diet Powerade? Involved. Every available flavor of Fanta, plus Hi-C, on top of iced tea? This necessitates involvement."
"Lately, AMC Theaters (notable home of Coca-Cola Freestyle machines) patrons have expressed their dismay that the iconic Nicole Kidman pre-roll has been shortened to a tiny husk of its former self in order to make space for an extended Coca-Cola promotional montage. Coogler's involvement with the Freestyle genre poses a possible solution: He could cola-borate with Kidman on"
Ryan Coogler said on Good Hang With Amy Poehler that he is not a big soda person but got involved when people were allowed to mix and match drinks on Coca-Cola Freestyle machines. He described mixing combinations such as Sprite Zero, Barq's French Vanilla, and Diet Powerade, and layering every available Fanta flavor plus Hi-C on iced tea. The remark framed soda mixing as artistic experimentation, freedom of expression, and a revolutionary act. Film Twitter reacted with amusement and shared posts celebrating the line "I got involved with that." AMC Theaters patrons have noted prominent Freestyle machines and concerns about shortened Nicole Kidman pre-rolls.
