Well, just to clarify, because the title of this post might cause confusion: everything streams free on Crackle. It is the largest operator of an advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) network. However, a new movie dropped on the streamer today, September 1: Corporate Animals.
Let’s take a look at what it’s about, who’s in it (some big stars!), its trailer, etc.
Corporate Animals Storyline
Lucy (Demi Moore) is the self-involved CEO of Incredible Edibles, an edible silverware startup that she believes will help save the planet. She drags her mismatched employees on a corporate team-building weekend in New Mexico, convincing the outdoor adventure leader Brandon (Ed Helms) into taking them on an advanced caving course.
The trip quickly falls apart when a cave-in traps the group deep underground. Not even Brandon can save them as they try to figure out a way to survive.
Cast
The movie stars Demi Moore (G.I. Jane, Ghost) as a delusional CEO who takes her staff on a disastrous team-building trip led by a helpless guide played by Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover).
It also stars Jessica Williams (Booksmart, Fantastic Beasts), Karan Soni (Deadpool) and Nasim Pedrad (Aladdin, Saturday Night Live).
Corporate Animals Trailer
Behind-the-Scenes
From Creep director Patrick Brice, Corporate Animals made its world premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was picked up by Screen Media Ventures, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment company and the main supplier of exclusive and original content for Crackle Plus.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled for Corporate Animals to have found a home at Crackle,” said Brice. “I feel like their audience is a perfect fit for our insane little movie!”
“Corporate Animals is a hilarious dark comedy our fans will love,” said Philippe Guelton, president of Crackle Plus. “With its all-star cast, this is a great addition to our ever-expanding slate of original and exclusive programming.”

Other Crackle Recommendations
Crackle is also where you can find Cleanin’ Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters, which is a documentary about the iconic movie. I haven’t watched it yet, but it looks good.
I did watch The Sonata, and it was actually pretty good. Kind of has a The Haunting of Hill House kind of vibe.
Check-In
Have you ever had a job you felt trapped in? Maybe not literally like in this movie but figuratively?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
