Choosing 'The Bear'

Shauna is almost done watching season three of Bridgerton and its weirdly-paced main romance, but is more excited about The Fourth Wing, a new book by author Rebecca Yaros – and so is Olivia who has been encouraging her to read this book about horny humans and dragons. (The humans are horny, not the dragons… probably). Olivia is still watching a lot of airline content, somehow managing to binge all of the Kristen Wiig murder mystery series Palm Royale. Since she really wants a second season, she's asking everyone to finally get Apple TV+ and watch it. After a spoiler for the next episode of PCJ, Shauna and Olivia talk about the show everyone is (or should be) watching, The Bear. The Junkies discuss whether the show is a comedy or a drama, how accurate it is in its portrayal of restaurant work, the themes of generational trauma and family dysfunction, and how watching the show both makes you hungry and introduces the phrase "Yes, Chef" (in a Chicago accent!) into your everyday vocabulary. We have all new Patreon tiers!
