I loved this season of The Bear, and especially the episode with Olivia Coleman, which was *chef’s kiss* (pun intended). The Manic Pixie Dreamgirl love interest though? Did not like her at all. She was too perfect and idealized. I get why they had that storyline, but I kept longing to go back to the restaurant to deal with its problems.
CHEF'S. KISS. I gasped when I saw Olivia Coleman and then she even exceeded my (very high) expectations.
Love everything you said about the MPDG girlfriend character. That's where the season started slipping into "bad Ted Lasso" waters, I felt. (Like, the lack of complexity or real stakes for much of it.) It was important to have that thread, like you said, but like...annoying.
I literally SCREAMED ALOUD in the theater at that part in Barbie!! It was like Greta looked right into my eyes and said, "You're MINE."
About the 4th, did you see that Reductress headline that was something like "Woman Worries 4th of July Vacation Will Be Misunderstood as an Endorsement of USA" I died. I felt embarrassed and seen yet again. lolol
Ohhhhh em geee I’ve missed three newsletters in my cluttered personal inbox, and I am SO HAPPY to have this binge read!!!!!!
Your review of The Bear was SO PERFECT. You touched all the notes I needed rehashed!!!!!! Also I didn’t know WHO that hot actor chef was, just thought some mysteriously incredible and handsome maybe-real-chef, and to find out just now that it was EUSTACE SCRUBB??!?!? 🤯🤯🤯 Thank you for giving words to MPDG girlfriend but also why it worked because — millennials. 😂😂
Mila and I did a deep dive (pun intended) into that amazing ocean site! That was UNREAL!!!! (Blobfish. 😂😂)
EUSTACE IS HOT NOW AND WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT EVERY DAY.
I wish we had more of The Bear to watch. I am bereft. I DID start watching Top Chef, though, and I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of scratching that itch! lol
Omg, I wish SO BADLY I could've been on that deep dive into the deep sea with you and Mila!! The crazy fish down there! My oh my!
We started The Bear last night because you keep talking about it!!!! First episode was killer. We're hooked.
OMG! I am honored to be a part of this journey you are on!!!! I must hear how it goes! Sarah will want to know, too, she and Sergei love it.
YESSSSSS omg Jessie it is right up y’all’s alley!!!

reading this after watching Barbie I’m dying laughing at your Pride and Prejudice comment hahah
I do not celebrate the 4th because I’m not super excited about America AND I have anxiety - so fireworks ain’t for me.
UFOs: I also want to believe but am skeptical!!
Mars experiment: NEVER in a million years, I’m way too anxious for that.
Deep Sea: that is such a cool visual!! I’ll take whichever death is faster and less painful - so kinda depends on the circumstance.
Will Poulter will never NOT be Eustice to me.
Your description of Rebecca Ferguson as “ruthlessly beautiful” is SPOT ON. I love her so much.
