What a strange newsletter subject when the email doesn’t mention Lionsgate, the Detroit Lions, or any kind of lions and is actually about content marketing.

This suit looks so good. Are you kidding me?! I refuse to be normal about this.
Tom Holland in a modified version of his Spider-Man suit from No Way Home on a soundstage. The red is more like Andrew Garfield’s ASM2 suit, the raised webbing is likely from the Raimi Spidey movies, and the longer spider emblem is a mix of all three Spider-Man emblems.

I sat down with the brilliant @alisechaffins.bsky.social (her 6th time on the show!) to dig into The Bear Season 4. We get into Carmy's "apology tour", that intense finale, and whether a Season 5 is even a good idea.
