The last one was fun, so we figure, why wait 3 years for another? In this episode, Brent, David, and TJ do a double review, first discussing Season 2 of Hulu’s The Bear, and then moving on to Netflix’s Chris Hemsworth-helmed action sequel. We’ve cooked up a great episode (WINK!) and we’re going to extract some… ok, just give it a listen.

Caution! Talkie Talk reviews are spoilery unless otherwise noted.
This episode also features minor discussions, which could include spoilers, of these films/shows:
– The Bear, S1 (duh)
– Extraction (2020) (duh)

Sherlock: Series 4

The 4th series of Sherlock, airing in 2017, brings back our favorite detective, his faithful friend John Watson, John’s new wife Mary, and the other characters we love yet again. Series 4 is the show’s most unique and polarizing season, for better or worse. Let’s talk about why.

Sherlock (Series 3)

Series 3 of the BBC’s Sherlock is tonally different than either season that came before, and that can be both good and bad. It’s a season that toys with its characters’ emotions more than ever, as the plots get more convoluted and wacky than before. It’s… a lot. But it’s also pretty tightly told, entertaining as ever, and some of the funniest Sherlock has to offer.
