Talkie Talk #226: The Bear S2 (2023) | Extraction 2 (2023)

00:00 / 1:28:13

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)
