And here we go! Season 5 of The Spiritual Spiral continues on. For today's episode, I just HAD to talk about the latest season of The Bear. A little context, I'm a HUGE fan of season 1 and 2. From the acting, the storylines, the music, the hypnotic and frenetic pace of the show, I'm all in! So WTF happened to Season 3?! Sure there are still moments of fantastic TV and even when The Bear is mediocre, it's still pretty darn good, but seriously, what the heck happened? Now you may be wondering, why do I care so much about The Bear? Great question! See, I believe that when art is AMAZING, then that goodness trickles down and inspires other artists to want to make fantastic art. Whether it's TV, film, music or books, fantastic art is contagious. It gets people talking, it creates a little "buzz" in the air. Which is why I'm so bummed out when a show, with such an impressive track record, ultimately fails. Did the creators run out of fresh ideas, did they feel rushed by HULU or maybe their egos got in the way of the creative process? We may never know the answer, but I try and unpack it all in today's episode. I even play a few clips from The Prestige podcast where the hosts also try and dissect what in the world went wrong? Okay, so on with the show. I'm stoked to be back for Season 5. As always, thanks so much for listening and being so incredibly supportive. It's also always helpful if you share the show with your friends or maybe head over to iTunes and write a quick review.  I'd also love to hear from you so please reach out on IG @eddiecohn with any questions. Thanks again for listening.
