Kevin and Tom examine the moments when the show performs at its best: is it the introspective, brooding Carmine scenes at The Bear or when the show “goes home” with secondary characters?Kevin draws a spot-on parallel of Syd/Carmy as Peggy/Don in Mad Men while Tom campaigns for more Richie exploration. The Bear can’t be discussed without a dive into the show’s musical choices. With the Gen X sounds of Eddie Vedder and R.E.M taking center stage, the topic of needle drops surfaces and Tom and Kevin analyze whether the FX show becomes too navel-gazey (the PYK stance: it doesn’t).A central question of the show: what does joy for Carmy look like? For Tom and Kevin, joy looks a lot like Oliver Platt on the television screen. Say it with us now: God Bless Oliver Platt.Subscribe to the new PYK Substack!<a href="https://www.packyourknives.com/"> https://www.packyourknives.com/</a>Rate PYK 5 Stars on<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pack-your-knives/id1321502272"> Apple</a> or<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/73iFqZMiBJTe3AJKT5t3es?si=aDbJMKW3Rk24COlN6u_vVg"> Spotify</a>Follow PYK on Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/PackKnives"> @packknives</a> & Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/packyourknives/"> @packyourknives</a><a href="https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH">COUNT THE DINGS MERCH STORE</a> - Check it out here:<a href="https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH"> https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
