2️⃣ Free/Quick Binges 4 Memorial Day Wknd!
These are 100% bingeworthy, I mean check out those rotten tomatoes scores!!! 🤯🤯
(except for that last one lol, more on why that may still be worth watching below)
I was super duper satisfied after I found these dupes. I wasn’t even a fan of “The Bear” at first. But after watching the 1st season again I was HOOKED!
ANNDD… The next season drops next month!!!

Movie/ Show: “Boiling Point”
🚨Sequentially, it’s recommended that you watch the movie and then the show.
I found these recommendations on IG and thought they would be really hard to compare to “The Bear” considering a movie has a smaller amount of time to get us hooked on the characters.
But this was SUPERB!!! The movie is shot as if it was in one shot (just like that one episode of “The Bear”) and it has a really creative way of transitioning from character to character so you can really get a sense of their respective painpoints without feeling disjointed from everyone else.
The show ends a little lack luster but overall the show was just as solid as the movie. I personally preferred the movie but that was probably due to my low expectations going into it.
RATING: 9.5/10

Movie: “Burnt”
This was okay and the rotten tomatoes score is a little aggressive, but it wasn’t as good as “The Bear.”
There was a nice little plot twist that made it a bit more enjoyable for me.
RATING: 5/10
