How 'Stick' Turns a Corner and 'The Bear' Pays Off; Plus, 'Andor' and 'Your Friends & Neighbors'

Weekly host Blaine welcomes and gives an overview for the episode to begin (0:02).

Once Donovan and Adam join, Blaine describes how he managed to miss the last few episodes of 'The Bear' and it has everything to do with the Disney+ series 'Andor' (2:08).

Also in the non-spoiler section, the guys have an email on 'Your Friends & Neighbors' on Apple TV+ (7:42), they discuss how 'Stick' is addressing all of their concerns (9:10), and somehow the non-spoiler talk about 'The Bear' turns into a treatise on smoking (11:38).

After the break, they detail how 'Stick' became even better (16:13) and how 'The Bear' needed season three for the current season four (35:36).
