THE BEAR SEASON 2 REVIEW
Add 1 cup of found fortune, a tablespoon of ambition with a pinch of character motivation. Stir in famous character actor cameos. Be sure to use talented thespian and not major summer blockbuster cameos (see MCU casting clickbait articles for reference). Set tensions to boiling point, really push that powder keg to the degree in which it’s about to explode. Expect uncomfortable gasps and vlogs of anxiety from the audience. Blend in flashback revelations until character progressions are fully realized. Pair with medium rare stakes and you have the perfect sophomore season of television. The Bear season two on Hulu/FX has returned. Owner and head chef of The Beef, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has the funds to make his dreams of opening his and his dead brother Mikey’s (Jon Bernthal) classy restaurant come true. Can he balance the pressures of career and romance with his once upon a time crush Clair (Molly Gordon) back in the picture? Meanwhile Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is searching for his purpose between servicing patrons and maintaining a healthy relationship with his daughter and ex. Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) is throwing her whole existence into getting a coveted Michelin Star. Her father Emmanuel (Robert Townsend) admires what she gives but not what the job takes. Marcus (Lionel Boyce) is in training to make the perfect desserts while taking care of the woman that raised him, and Carmy’s sister Natalie (Abby Elliott) is lining up inspections and striving to hit deadlines. They have 12 weeks until launch. Set your egg timers and join Bradly, Neil, Rae, and Sarah Jane as they break down the heart and soul of this second season ten course meal. Baked to perfection or over cooked? Bon Appetit.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
Lyrae Anderson (Screener Squad)
You can call me Rae. You can also call me a film lover. I’ll watch it all — small screen; big screen, and everything in between. I have attended and worked for Fantastic Fest and South by Southwest for many years. I married a film geek as well. While we don’t agree on everything, we agree on our love of movies.
Sarah Jane (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Sarah Jane was born and raised in Southern California but currently calls Austin, TX her home. She’s seen over 5,700 movies so far with zero plans on stopping. She has a penchant for all things exploitation, and she loves Godzilla with all her heart. Her favorite films are Deep Red, Le Samourai, and Miller’s Crossing. When she isn’t watching movies, she’s busy herding her four cats, her husband, and her 11-year-old kiddo. She’s been a contributor to TalkFilmSociety, Daily Grindhouse, FThisMovie!, Looper, and the Austin Chronicle. You can find her on Twitter and Letterboxd at @fookthis.
