Dinner service is here, and we’ve got nothing to lose. Remember that time we saw a turtle and a cat sharing a pop in the back booth? This week, Andrea and Jodie are talking about episodes four through six of the final season of The Bear: Carmy makes the rounds, Richie makes some calls, Sydney tries to hold it all together, Marcus and Luca’s honeymoon phase might be over, and we find out what happens when a seemingly unprepared restaurant decides to welcome absolutely everybody inside anyway.Follow:The Watchers on Instagram (@WatchersPodNJ)Andrea on Instagram (@AQAndreaQ)Jodie on Instagram (@jodie_mim)Thanks to Kitzy (@heykitzy) for the use of our theme song, "No Book Club."

The Bear is back, and it feels like hardly any time has passed. (Because hardly any time has passed.)This week, Andrea and Jodie are talking through the first three episodes of the final season: the familiar reminder that if something can go wrong, it will; Carmy trying (and failing) to let go; Richie entering his maximization era; Marcus and Luca’s whole…vibe; Ebra being generally the best, and why, if you ask us, the Faks remain crucial to The Bear family ecosystem.Plus, pipes, spoons, vampires, and Cheese.We’ll be back next week to talk about episodes 4 - 6.Follow:The Watchers on Instagram (@WatchersPodNJ)Andrea on Instagram (@AQAndreaQ)Jodie on Instagram (@jodie_mim)Thanks to Kitzy (@heykitzy) for the use of our theme song, "No Book Club."

"And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it." Wherein "it" refers to: the full-body haunting of home, the burden of being needed, the myth of control, and what it means to understand the difference between leaving and running.Before the final season of The Bear, we wanted to do a quick, non-exhaustive reset. Jodie and Andrea recap where everyone started, where season 4 left them, and what we’re expecting/hoping for in season 5.If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

It’s the end of tourist season on Widow’s Bay, so for now The Watchers are packing up, saying goodbye to our new island pals, and breaking down the season finale, “We Hope You Enjoyed Your Time!” We're talking Ruth’s whole deal, Tom’s variously questionable choices, Evan’s place in the Warren line, and a return to Andrea’s favorite segment, Hatch Watch. Plus, an important reminder: older women know everything.Next week, we’re heading back into the kitchen for the final season of The Bear and checking in on Carmy, Sydney, Richie, and the rest of our beautiful, stressed-out friends.If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

This week, The Watchers are hunkering down for the penultimate episode of Widow’s Bay, "Emergency Shelter." Jodie and Andrea talk storm shelter, Rosemary’s tastefully titillating genealogy presentation, Tom’s wrestling match with the island's ancestry, Dale in doorways, and all the weird time stuff we’re tracking before the finale. Also: Nor’easters, shit-talking Martha’s Vineyard, and the new game that's sweeping the nation: “Dead Baby, Dead Baby Lesbian.”If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Widow's Bay gets the Haddonfield treatment (Jersey? Illinois? Yes.) as Jodie and Andrea review the show's slasher turn, "Your Baggage." We talk Wyck playing third wheel, Patricia becoming the Final Girl she was always meant to be, and the way a simple "GO SOX" is the key to any good New England boy’s heart.Referenced in this ep:On Widow’s Bay, Is There Anything Kate O’Flynn Can’t Do?Ways to support the detainees at Delaney HallEmail Congress: No More Funding for ICERead: Don’t Give Up: A Letter From Delaney HallSupport Families at Delaney Hall with Food4NJ.orgIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

The Watchers are still happily docked at Widow’s Bay for Episodes 6 and 7, "Our History" and "Seasickness." Jodie and Andrea get into the island's haunted history, Puritan curses, Jaws references, and why the Glen Rock would absolutely destroy Plymouth Rock in a fight.If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

The Watchers are back from their 12-hour trip, just in time for Widow’s Bay, Episode 5, “What to Expect on Your Trip.” Tom takes the island’s very special mushrooms, Patricia proves she is absolutely not the right trip sitter, Wyck and Jerri find a clue (a clue!), and Evan reminds us that this show is spiritually set in Jersey by engaging in some of our time-honored traditions. Hanging out in a car, ghost hunting, and daring each other to knock on the doors of homes that belong to potential psychopaths.Next week, we’re back with Episodes 6 and 7, “Our History" and "Seasickness"If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.
