for those always wondering “ damn I wish I could have seen the hard court legend from the mean streets of glen cove. White Chocolate “ 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀. heres a pic I’ve never seen until today literally sent to me a few hours ago taken of White Chocolate on his graduation 1988 For context I’m 6 ft 4 and all of White Chocolates friends from Glen Cove are tall. ( probably had something to do with the toxic ball fields we all played on next to an incinerator as kids ) My hair added 2-3 inches of pure intimidation on defense “

Obviously White Chocolate is on the far right

Hold the phone, White Chocolate, graduation from High School is a rather modest achievement. 🤪

Watched the first 2 episodes of season 4 of The Bear already and have to say I’m looking forward to the other 8. The heart of the show, and the focus on the actual employees, seems back and I already liked both episodes more than the entirety of season 3–bar the Napkins (Tina) episode.

Yup. Started with a plan to watch the first couple eps. We're now on episode 6 and promising to stop after this episode. Another excellent effort.

“Waterfront” - the new drama on Netflix feels like the writers took scripts from Ozark, Outer Banks and Days of Our Lives and combined them to make a show.

It coulda been a contender instead of a bum.
Sorry, wrong waterfront.

Yup. And I really like Holt McCallany

I’m through 5 episodes now and I’m happy to report, despite the curveball at the end of 5, the Bear that I liked so much to begin with is back. There’s a lot less screaming, a lot more heart, the story has stayed with the chefs in the restaurant and the background players have thankfully taken a step back. Most importantly, the show has been funny again. Like casual laughs and big time laughs. I’m totally engrossed again. The story has progressed, which it hadn’t last season, and still has a bit of mystery.

I did a 6 month subscription to Peacock at the end of November so I could watch the Johnnie games on Peacock. My wife and I decided to watch the first season or two of Yellowstone since it's free there. I'll look forward to watching the Bear as soon as we finish the last two seasons of Yellowstone in the next day or two. Loved the first two seasons of Bear, agree that season three was spotty.

The ice chips episode 8 season 3 of the bear was longer than a slyfox post pre paragraph spacing
 
I’m not spoiling anything here because it’s a storyline from season 3 but it’s really irritating me…anyone else find it a dick move that this Shapiro guy from Ever would be trying to poach Sidney in the first place? I mean, The Bear is open, what a few months tops, and this guy is literally trying to take her from a guy he used to work with and, seemingly, gets along with.

Before covid a good friend of mine at work while I was on vacation in South Africa negotiated to poach someone who was in the process of joining my team. Literally the deal was done while I was away and never even tried to explain or apologize to me

So yeah the storyline on the bear is annoying but happens all the time
 
Season 4 was fantastic. Without spoilers, definitely get the feeling there’s 1 season left. This show, like I’ve said, got back to its roots and why everyone liked it so much in the first place. Anyone who’s been through grief, (family) dysfunction, or loss can identify with how these issues are tackled by this show (and The Leftovers, everyone should watch that). I know this sounds crazy but my First Communion party (yes I was 8 or 9) was just as bad as the Fishes episode and that episode triggered the hell out of me. This season, although it definitely left on a bit of a cliffhanger, was very cathartic and actually good for pretty much every character. And, it was funny again. Season 3 had zero laughs.
 
Ramblings.

Yes Leftovers is awesome. I avoided it when it was first on then my wife and I ended up binging it a few years later. Didn't hurt that it ended in Australia. ;)

Read a story today that said Season 5 is going to be hard to execute with all the work Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss Bachrach and Ayo Edibiri have booked for the future. Ebon especially is tied to so much Marvel work after Fantastic Four with the two Avengers films in production.
