Everything New Coming To Netflix In July 2023

Like many, I inhaled The Bear as soon as its first season blew up last year. While I consider myself a casual viewer of food shows and a decent cook, I wondered what it would be like to cook the meals that were produced, even romanticized, in the TV show.

Is it really that intense when there’s bigger meat at stake? Is making the different types of food in such a small place as impossible as it seems?

So I signed up for the Institute of Culinary Education’s aptly-titled class “The Bear - A Day at The Beef of Chicagoland” in their New York location. Here’s everything I learned.

Ever since Jaws created the modern blockbuster in 1975, Hollywood’s summer movie season has been defined by big-budget spectacles. You know the type: the tentpole that costs millions of dollars and rakes in millions more.

But what year was the best year for blockbusters? Was it 1999, when The Matrix marked a high point (and a turning point) for the genre? Or was it 2008 with Christopher Nolan’s superhero opus The Dark Night and the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

The Inverse Entertainment team put their heads together to debate which year takes the crown.
