Looks like I'm calling in sick that day.

Not a lot of Richie. Kind of strains believability they would send the current staff to culinary school instead of just hiring more experienced cooks for the restaurant but I’m in.

‘The Bear’ Season 2 Review: Hulu Show Heats Up in Fire New Season – IndieWire

I’m oddly excited to hear the music cues as well. It had a great soundtrack last season

 

[antsman41]

...all of the R.E.M. please and thanks.

Hoping there is a The National needle drop.

The Bear has a bar to reach this year when it comes to needle drops. Will it top Beef's soundtrack?

 

[samsnee]

...all of the R.E.M. please and thanks.

Hoping there is a The National needle drop.

I like The National but I don’t really associate them with Chicago. Will probably get more Wilco

I like The National but I don’t really associate them with Chicago. Will probably get more Wilco

...not Chicago, but more along the lines of sad/angry depressingly beautiful aka The Bear.

Especially a newer track or more first 2 LP to scour from, since Fake Empire/About Today/I Need My Girl have been used heavily.

Maybe... an Available, Theory Of The Crows, Mistaken For Strangers or an Empire Line, Guilty Party, etc.

I only caught the first four episodes so far, but episode 4 with Will Poulter was f**kin magical. And seeing it was directed by Ramy Youssef made it that much better.

Took my third hit of The Bear this past few days...

Binged S1 e5-8 last night, 7 and 8 still hit so hard.

...watched the first two, trying to 'portion' out (a little).

s2e1
> What’s my purpose, homie?
> You’re an aluminum core.
> G.O.R. - lol
MANN'S MIAMI VICE pw - gofastboatsmojito

TINA/SYD's arc since s1 (chef's kiss)

s2e2
> …sometimes I look like February.
> MOOMMMMMM!!
[the mold broom moment, dodgeball, beer hat fall]
> CP (Carmy Problems)

...then teasing STRANGE CURRENCIES with the score and then it hits, the best meet-cute (in forever) and then Carmy sabotages his happiness by changing his phone number // omg

THE BEAR is perfectly sad, beautiful, funny, crazy - all of the characters are realized (and I want to hug them all).

10 min into the new season and Ebon Moss-Bachrach is doing his best 'Jeremy Strong/Kendall Roy' sadboi impression, I love this season already

Why's there a hockey stick behind the locker?

 

[antsman41]

@Kane52630 can you do a gif of Tina's face after Syd asks her to be her Sous Chef - she's so happy?

And, maybe one of Syd falling thru the wall?

...no rush of course.

 

[Kane52630]

Someone on tumblr beat me to it about the 2nd one.

 

[antsman41]

...forget Tumblr is still around (and maybe great).

Them playing Tangerine Dream from Michael Mann's Thief for Richie in episode 7.

Hey folks, just a reminder to keep it classy with the spoilers. For some stupid reason, the US is getting this a month in advance of the rest of the world and international fans might not realize that and accidentally walk into spoilers.

 

[antsman41]

Episode 3 was the yin to s1e7’s yang…

Episode 4 was beautiful, yet sad in everything concerning Marcus.

Episode 5… best romcom moments in tv, let alone film, in 20 years?

> Carmy clocking that no one has ever cooked for Claire

Plus, the sickest lineup of music in 30 minutes //

BASTARDS OF YOUNG
PRETTY IN PINK
STRANGE CURRENCIES (redux) - love that this is Carmy’s love theme
CAN’T HARDLY WAIT

// it’s like I soundtracked this episode.

“she’s the best and so are you.”

 

[Kane52630]
