‘The show takes those sitcom beats or cliches and makes them more real.’

Luis, Mike, and special guest Chris Scalia dive deep into the FX series The Bear, unpacking the complexities of its third season. Tune in as they slice and dice through the show’s soundtrack, dive into the most dramatic episode, and debate whether or not there are Catholic undertones sprinkled throughout the plot.
