THE BEAR SEASON 5 REVIEW The kitchen is closing for one final service. The Bear returns for its fifth and final season, with Carmy, Sydney, Richie, Sugar, Marcus, Tina, and the rest of the crew racing against the clock to prove that The Bear can become the restaurant they've all sacrificed so much to build. […]
The war is no longer being fought with dragons alone. Sarah and Will break down House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 5, "Unbowed and Unbent," as unrest spreads through King's Landing and every side begins using manipulation, insurgency, religion, money, and guerrilla warfare to gain an advantage. They discuss Ormund Hightower's campaign to undermine Rhaenyra, the violent attacks against the Gold Cloaks, and Daemon's growing frustration with how the city is being governed. They also examine Rhaenyra and Daemon's conflicting ideas about power, legitimacy, faith, and what it truly means to rule as a Targaryen. Elsewhere, Alicent attempts to protect Helaena and her unborn child, Mysaria finds herself caught between competing loyalties, and the damaged relationship between Aegon and Aemond reveals how deeply their childhood resentment continues to shape the war. Sarah and Will also explore Ormund's influence over Daeron, Criston Cole's brutal campaign through the Riverlands, Oscar Tully's military tactics, and how the nobles and common people of Westeros are being sacrificed for a conflict built around one family's bloodline. Then, the conversation shifts to the final season of The Bear. Sarah and Will share their thoughts on the season's one-day structure, Carmy's conclusion, Sydney and Tina's expanded roles, and why Episode 7, "Caramel," feels like a spiritual successor to the fan-favorite episode "Forks." They also discuss the series finale, the growth of Richie and the restaurant staff, the moments that worked—and one particular job interview that did not—before ranking all five seasons of the acclaimed series. Topics include: • The Gold Cloak murders and unrest in King's Landing • Ormund Hightower's strategy and support for Daeron • Rhaenyra and Daemon's battle over power and legitimacy • The role of faith, culture, and public favor in Westeros • Alicent, Helaena, Mysaria, and the unborn child • Aegon and Aemond's lifelong sibling rivalry • Criston Cole's legacy and the Riverlands guerrilla campaign • The Bear series finale and final-season reactions • Why "Caramel" continues the character growth of "Forks" • Sarah and Will's complete ranking of The Bear We discuss House of the Dragon strictly from the perspective of television viewers who have not read the source material.

The kitchen is officially closed... but before we say goodbye to The Bear, there's one very important question...Did we actually predict Season 5 correctly?
SPOILER-FREE kami... If you care about that sort of thing. We know, we know. This episode is overdue. Our past few weekends have been full but finally, here we are with so much backlog to get through! We begin with the recently concluded series, The Bear. It's been a rollercoaster ride of a series in terms of greatness and not-so-greatness but now, we're at closing time so we're gonna have to say our goodbyes to Chef Carmy, Sydney, Richie and crew. Pagkatapos nun, we get into the live-action remake of one of Disney's most beloved movies in the modern era, Moana! Catherine Laga'aia brings Moana to life while The Rock is still... The Rock. We then get into one of Netflix recent rom-com hits, Voicemails for Isabelle. Was it something to fall for or something to forget? Pag-usapan natin! Last but not the least, we also have our Queen Rhaenyra, Milly Alcock, in Supergirl! The much anticipated film from James Gunn's DC Universe is finally here BUT... Yeah, there are probably a lot of buts.

If there is a smarter or better TV critic than The New York Times's James Poniewozik I have yet to come across him or her. So when I was dying to talk to someone about The Bear's moving final season I rang up James and he graciously agreed to come on Special Sauce to talk about it. We had a blast talking about Carmy and Sydney and all the other finely etched characters on the show. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Content Note: Carmy's story involves a family member's suicide. We mention it gently and briefly in the setup. Spoiler Alert: story lines are discussed so if you haven't seen it, watch first. He is one of the best chefs in the world. He also cannot sit in a quiet room without something coming apart. In this Summer Shorts episode, Mechelle asks four questions she wishes she could ask Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto from The Bear — about what happens when rest feels more dangerous than breaking, how we internalize the environments that shaped us, why we blow up our own intimacy right when we need it most, and what it would mean to choose rest as the most radical act available to us. This one is for every high-achiever, every caretaker, every person who has ever used excellence as armor. Season 5 of The Bear — its final season — is airing this summer. The timing could not be more perfect. Explore The Wholeness Library App FREE!

Dopo 277 minuti di maratona, Spin-Off dedica una puntata intera al finale di The Bear e alla quinta stagione nel suo complesso. Una stagione finale che riporta la serie sui binari migliori dopo una terza e una quarta stagione più diluite, chiudendo gli archi narrativi di Carmy, Sydney, Richie e del ristorante con un senso di compimento raro nella serialità contemporanea. In questa puntata Federico e Fabrizio commentano la quinta stagione di The Bear, il finale della serie, l'episodio “Caramel”, le due stelle Michelin, l'addio di Carmy alla cucina, la crescita di Sydney come nuova guida del ristorante e l'evoluzione di Richie, probabilmente uno dei personaggi meglio scritti dell'intera serie. Si parla anche delle cose che hanno funzionato meno: la gestione di Claire, il monologo finale di Carmy, alcune sottotrame ripetute con Uncle Cicero e Computer, lo sfogo di Marcus, il rischio del lieto fine totale e la scelta di chiudere tutto in modo più consolatorio che amaro. Una puntata spoiler, pensata per chi ha già visto tutta la quinta stagione di The Bear e vuole capire se il finale rende davvero giustizia alla serie creata da Christopher Storer.

Moodfellas is terug — en dit keer voor het eerst vanuit onze gloednieuwe podcaststudio!Nieuwe tafel, nieuwe setting, nieuw geluid — maar gelukkig nog steeds dezelfde humor, scherpe meningen en ontspoorde zijpaden.In deze aflevering duiken we onder andere in Disclosure Day, Spielbergs nieuwste sci-fi project. Een film waar meteen grote verwachtingen aan hangen, want zodra Spielberg weer richting sciencefiction beweegt, gaan bij ons natuurlijk alle antennes omhoog. Wordt dit een klassieke Spielberg of stelt ie teleur? Ook bespreken we Toy Story 5. Want hoe vaak kun je terug naar speelgoed dat eigenlijk al een perfecte afsluiting had? Is er nog genoeg verhaal over voor Woody, Buzz en de rest, of begint Pixar hier aan iets dat vooral heel spannend is omdat de lat zó hoog ligt?Verder hebben we het over seizoen 5 van The Bear. De serie die begon als een rauwe, stressvolle keukenbom en inmiddels is uitgegroeid tot een van de meest besproken dramaseries van de afgelopen jaren. Waar kan Carmy nog heen, hoeveel chaos past er nog in één keuken en blijft de serie die intense energie vasthouden?En dan is er nog The Backrooms van YouTuber Kane Parsons. Een internetfenomeen dat begon als indi horror op YouTube, maar inmiddels is uitgegroeid tot een project waar Hollywood met grote ogen naar kijkt. Gele muren, lege gangen, ongemak, found footage en dat gevoel dat je ergens bent waar je absoluut niet hoort te zijn.Daarnaast natuurlijk nog veel meer filmnieuwtjes, streamingtips, opvallende feitjes, meningen en gezelligheid.Nieuwe studio. Nieuwe energie. Zelfde Moodfellas.Fijn dat je luistert!

Voice Of Costume - Creating Character through Costume Design
How do costumes quietly reveal grief, ambition, identity, burnout, and healing? In this deeply insightful conversation, The Bear costume designer Courtney Wheeler breaks down the emotional storytelling hidden inside every sweater, suit, vintage tee, and color palette across seasons 3 and 4 of the hit FX series. From designing Carmy's evolving silhouettes in Copenhagen and New York, to shaping Sugar's motherhood arc, Richie's growing confidence, and Donna's emotional recovery through wardrobe, Wheeler reveals how costume design becomes character psychology on screen. The discussion dives into the chaos of shooting two seasons simultaneously, navigating constant creative pivots, collaborating with actors like Jamie Lee Curtis, and solving unexpected production problems — including creating a practical glitter effect for a dream sequence under intense time pressure. Wheeler also opens up about burnout, work-life balance in film and television, finding creativity under pressure, and the emotional parallels between the restaurant industry and Hollywood production culture. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories from The Bear, costume design insights, creative collaboration, character development, production strategy, filmmaking process, and artistic problem-solving, this episode is a must-listen for filmmakers, costume designers, storytellers, creatives, and anyone fascinated by how visual details shape unforgettable television. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner.

What do mullets, SpongeBob stick-and-pokes, and foil-wrapped sandwiches have in common? According to this week's guest, London writer Clive Martin, they're all hallmarks of a new type of food-obsessed, young urban professional that Clive calls the “defining person-type of 2025.” You know the type: people who queue up around the block for hours for a taste of the latest Instagram-viral, cartoonishly gigantic Italian sandwiches, in a neighborhood where the old school Italian sandwich shops are being displaced. Clive calls these people “The Normans,” after a North London cafe-restaurant they frequented for its loving homages to greasy-spoon staples like chippy teas and chicken fingers. But it's a subculture that transcends international borders, at least in the English speaking world: a distinctly bro-y strain of contemporary foodie culture fueled by viral images of oozing cheeseburgers, indie rock music, Anthony Bourdain hagiography, and upscale, farm-to-table recreations of working class and immigrant food traditions. The plan their weekends around new eateries, walk around wearing restaurant merch, and secretly wish they could they could quit their fintech job and start over as Carmy from The Bear. Clive is a former colleague of ours from VICE, and one of our favorite observers of contemporary culture—especially when it comes to cities and gentrification. We brought him on to discuss his article for VICE, titled “Meet the Normans,” and how food supplanted music, film, and art as the dominant mode of cultural consumption among young people. We also get into the subculture's nature as a kind of masculine reaction to other strains of millennial yuppie food culture, how both the food internet and the bro internet are reshaping our cities, and how the rising cost of living is pushing the gentrification cycle into exurban areas like Upstate New York, Margate, and Joshua Tree. Finally, we share some of our favorite, decidedly not-Norman restaurants in London, Philly, and LA that are still hanging on.Follow Clive on X @clive_mart1nRead more by Clive:“Urban sprawlers: How city folk ruined the countryside” (The Face)“Ketamine, crime, and chaos: Life in a London party slum” (VICE)Other relevant reads:“Welcome to Neo New York, where everything feels old school but isn't” by Emilie Friedlander (VICE)“We are all foodies now” by Steven Phillips-Horst (Spike Art) This is a public episode.

Episode 289: The Bear Season 4 – Chaos, Dissonance, and Burnout in the Kitchen We're back, chefs. Season 3 of The Bear was one of our most downloaded episodes last year—so naturally, Adam Franchuch and Paulina Schemanski return to the studio to dissect Season 4. They bring the heat (and the industry cred) as a sous chef and GM of one of Michigan's top restaurants. This time, we talk:
Season 4 of The Bear premiered on Hulu a couple of weeks ago so it's time to get our into our now yearly discussion with the Ultimate Date Night Draft winner himself, Justin Yu. Eric and Justin dive into a full spoiler conversation all about season 4 including the financial challenges that the restaurant faced this season, the difficulty of changing the menu so much, how that frequency can also speak to a level of selfishness (looking at you Carmy), how tough it is for a restaurant to find the right puzzle pieces to make the concept run smoothly, how those puzzle pieces were reflected in this season, Sydney's big decision this season, the work/life balance of everything, Carmy's journey, restaurants that live on stodges, and much more! Plus, Justin shares with Eric what restaurants he's excited about, what's new at Theodore Rex, and the best wings in Houston. Follow Eric on Instagram/Threads @ericsandler.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder is joined by psychiatrist Dr. Eric Bender to explore the psychological depth of the Emmy Award-winning show, The Bear (FX). Through a psychodynamic lens, they examine Carmy's character—his trauma, complex PTSD, obsessive-compulsive personality traits, and avoidant attachment style. They also break down the borderline dynamics in his family, especially his mother's primitive defenses, identity diffusion, and projective identification. The discussion covers dissociation, personality styles, sibling roles, and emotional neglect, drawing connections to clinical work and real-life therapy. This episode gives both clinicians and fans of the show a nuanced understanding of how early attachment, trauma, and family dynamics shape adult behavior. Whether you're a therapist, student, or simply a fan of the show, you'll gain insight into how The Bear reflects complex inner worlds. Link to blog. Link to YouTube video.
