I love how this episode really tells us so so much about Carmy and his relationship to food and also his relationship with his brother. Him staring at the Cannoli - which have appeared before on the Bear - in that moment was such a gorgeous choice. I think it also explains why he does not know how to operate around food in a healthy way. He's recreating the patterns of his family in his professional environments. I also thought they did such a good job of creating that tension, when you have a family member like that and every small move, every clinking noise ups the anxiety cause you don't know what will set them off. One of the best episodes of a series in the last few years imo.

Ah yes, the All Star Holiday Special for the whole family to enjoy! You might know Gillian Jacob from Community, and maybe Love on Netflix, which is quite a good show. Anyway the next 4 episodes are all impeccable.

ah yes, the episode that legitimately makes my chest hurt while i'm watching it like i have heartburn or something... just so unbelievably well done!! i'm so excited for next week's episode--a personal favorite!!!

Such an emotional episode through amazing storytelling. It explains so much about these characters and their behaviour then and now. I am actually surprised dinner ended up on the table (although not for long). The all-star cast is stellar. I have seen JLC in a lot and she's always good but this cameo blows it all out of the water for me. Agree with you, Joe, Bernthal is the only person who could play Mikey. Next episode is my favourite of the whole show so far, I am so looking forward to your reaction. Thanks for stressing out just for us : )

Ah yes! I have seen a few episodes of Community (maybe 3 or 4 total), and that is probably where I most know her from. Also, the Fear Street films on Netflix.

Family dinner scenes have been such a trope throughout television and film, and I have never seen anything that comes close to this in showing real, palpable dysfunction. This was incredible.

This episode hits too close to home for me to really appreciate, but it increased my love for this show tenfold. This is such a realistic depiction of a dysfunctional family, and you know it's going to go that way long before the holidays are there. Even now, 20 years removed from those kinds of family gatherings, I still live with dread toward the end of the year and relief and surprise of things not blowing up in January... The interesting part is that the precision tasks like high level cooking bringing structure and order became the place where I felt comfort. This was brilliant, and now I completely know why Carmy and Natalie felt so relatable to me. But the writing and direction of Christopher Storer here is so on point here, it scares me.

A tour de force all around, but can I give some particular flowers to Mulaney? He's the one who, when you turns up, you most say "him? really?" But he has to play a bunch of different notes that don't really jibe with everything else going on in the room and he crushes it. Next episode titled Forks. Be afraid, be very afraid. (jk!)

Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal both won guest actress/actor Emmys for this episode.

Oh my god, it’s Christmas at grandma’s house (minus the last 10 minutes or so). Oof... What an absolute rollercoaster and a brilliant episode. I’m really curious to know what the script for this episode looks like. There’s so much cross-talk all the way through – how you even begin to write that out? Perfectly acted all around, but I totally agree, Jamie Lee Curtis stole the show!

I'd love to know how much (if any) was improvised because it seems like it might be a bit.

John Mulaney absolutely had to bring a contrasting energy to this episode from anyone else, and he had to make it work with everyone else. He was great.

This is the best portrayal of family dysfunction I have seen in a single television episode. It was viscerally shattering.

This episode will be great for whenever I feel bad having no family to spend the holidays with.

Gillian Jacobs (Tiffany) is probably best known for her role on Community but she also has connections to a lot of the cast members & crew of The Bear. She is the girlfriend of show creator Chris Storer. She previously appeared on Girls with Ebon Moss-Bachrach, in the 2008 play The Little Flower of East Orange with Liza Colon-Zayas (Tina)(which was directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman), in the movie Life of the Party with Molly Gordon (Claire), & on the show Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories with Bob Odenkirk. This is the first time we've seen Tiffany in person on the show but her voice can be heard when Richie calls her from jail in S1E8 & pictures of her were on the table when Richie was in the basement in S2E1. There were also pictures of Donna & Claire on that table. When Jimmy is talking to Tiffany about the banana stand he says his dad used to take him there to get chocolate bananas. Natalie asked Carmen in S1E1 if he's talked to their mom so you can assume she's still alive. I feel like Donna is more of the reason that Carmy & Nat are in Al-Anon than Michael is. And in the previous episode when Carmy told Claire he knew the feeling of caring for sad, drunk people & she said I know you do, they were probably referring to his mom. I've seen this episode multiple times but this is the first time I've watched it straight through without pausing. I really have a love-hate relationship with this episode. Artistically, it's perfection. It was shot on 35mm film & is saturated with yellow to make it look & feel aged & the performances are so good you forget they're famous actors. But emotionally, it leaves me crushed & exhausted.

This to me felt like a loving homage to 70's dramas. It's a little bit Scorsese and a little bit Cassavetes. It's a really smart choice to pull from those filmmakers to help tell this story. Deeply tragic and funny. I couldn't take my eyes off it
