MARTY SUPREME CHRISTMAS DAY

Experienced this same thing today in a pretty empty movie theater. Respect the buffer!!!

They’re gentrifying my local AMC 😢

Gotta lot of work to do!

S3 E10 Forever
Carmy confronting Chef David is exhilarating for everyone except Carmy. I enjoy Syd and Luca conversing a lot, would love to see more of them together! The ending party scene is fun, even though it feels a little wild.

S3 E10 Forever
Loved the montage of chefs. Love Luca picking the brain of the other chef like a true fan. Would love to see some of the Ever staff move to The Bear, but I guess we will see. Syd hears all of the chefs trading stories and wrestles with whether she should stay or go from The Bear.

S3 E9 Apologies
Several of the characters in this episode struggle to not just apologize but also be honest with themselves. It's been frustrating watching Carmy do nothing about Claire. Cicero has a nice moment with Carmy, but can't bring himself to tell Carmy the true state of the restaurant.

S3 E8 Ice Chips
The labor turned therapy session gives both Donna and Sugar some time to reconcile and own up to each other.

S3 E7 Legacy
The window service of The Bear gets some much-needed screentime and leaves me wanting more! Sugar is handling everything surprisingly well, and then it happens....

S3 E6 Napkins
The incredible Tina episode, directed by Ayo Edebiri! Watching Tina go through the process of job hunting is frustrating to watch, even if we know she lands on her feet. I love the conversations between Tina and Mikey that we get.

S3 E5 Children
The closing of Ever comes as a shock to everyone. Is The Bear doomed to follow them, or can it stand out? There are also some great one-on-one conversations throughout! The Computer drops some hard truths, but it is hard to know how much will actually change.

S3 E4 Violet
A surprisingly family-focused episode. Everyone is in a different spot with their familial relationships. The heartthrob Josh Hartnett as Frank is incredible.
June 25, 2025 at 7:58 PM
S3 E3 Doors
A straightforward and somewhat smooth set of services until it isn't. Richie's list of non-negotiables is both amusing and almost as important as Carmy's list. Seeing the good chef/bad chef approach of Carmy and Syd with Tina is a fun and complicated dynamic.

S3 E2 Next
Marcus's conversation with Carmy at the end is lovely and poetic. "Take us there, Bear."
June 25, 2025 at 6:58 PM
S3 E2 Next
A stressful live negotiation of everyone's expectations for The Bear. I am not sure a lot of progress is made in this episode, but a lot of information is laid out. It is funny how often it is mentioned that everyone wants to get back to work, and yet they still continue to argue.

S3 E1 Tomorrow
A montage that serves as a soft reset for the show. It slows things down and gives us a lot of context and background on Carmy, even if little is said.

S2 E10 The Bear
And yet you still have to get up and try again.

S2 E10 The Bear
The hits just keep coming.

S2 E10 The Bear
The opening shot is reminiscent of S1 E7 Review, but with a more prepared and focused staff until they aren't. Pete's perspective is tough, but he handles it as best as he can. How does Carmy handle the pressure of opening a restaurant? He doesn't.
June 25, 2025 at 6:32 AM
S2 E9 Omelette
The stress of having a successful restaurant opening weighs on everyone. Uncle Jimmy telling the story of Bartman and his ability to relate it to Carmy and turn it into advice is fun.
June 25, 2025 at 5:52 AM
S2 E8 Bolognese
Boundaries are set, and relationships are defined. It is also fun seeing the rest of the crew adjust to New Richie. Michael continues to find a way to haunt the restaurant.
June 25, 2025 at 5:14 AM
S2 E7 Forks
The casting of the crew of the Ever is so well done. Adam Shapiro is fun, Andrew Lopez as Garrett is perfection and Olivia Coleman as Chef Terry just feels right. That last scene really feels like the last puzzle piece in the puzzle. Every Second Counts.

S2 E7 Forks
AKA the re-invention of Richie. There is an adrenaline rush in watching the evolution of a guy who doesn't have much going for him and yet finds a way and pushes through, and discovers himself! Also, some Taylor Swift definitely helps.

S2 E6 Fishes
We hit another gear when Pete arrives with the 8th fish. Michael's and Uncle Lee's beef is on another level. It is hard to revisit this episode with how stress-inducing it is, especially in the last 5 minutes.
June 25, 2025 at 2:48 AM
S2 E6 Fishes
Jamie Lee Curtis as Donna is soooo chaotic and stressful. It makes sense why Carmy is the way he is, but it is so impressive that his cooking style is so different than hers. So much happens in this episode, but most importantly, we experience the true dynamics of the Berzatto family.
