I don't know why it's taken me this long to have a Big Brother, #BB24, episode but we are here and joining me for the supersize episode is Valencia and Chris.

We discuss last night's episode so if you missed it, you'll want to come back after you watched. We discuss winner predictions and talk about the season to this point. Then we somehow get to talking about The Challenge USA finale. Plus, you have to stick around to hear Valencia's plea.

I am starting a new series for the rest of the month, Under the Radar. Each week a guest will join the show to discuss a show that I think more people should be watching. This week we start with FX on Hulu's 'The Bear.' I understand this show has become a critical darling but I don't think enough of the podcast listeners have tuned in yet.

This week, Chris joins the show to discuss. We begin with generalization without giving spoilers but then the back half we delve into the entire first season. So, if you've watched you definitely want to stick around.

"Carmy, a young fine-dining chef, comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop. As he fights to transform the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges crew that ultimately reveal themselves as his chosen family."

Racquel and Ashley return to the show to discuss the second season of HBO Max's 'Sweet Life: LA.'

Season 2 doesn't give you much time to settle before the drama starts and it doesn't slow down at all this season. The original core cast returns, minus Jordan, and we're also introduced to new friends. As the show grows, the cast reveals more and we appreciate the transparency.

This week, as always, is a good one. Katie joins the show to talk about her favorite movie, '10 Things I Hate About You.' We discuss how she discovered the movie in middle school and immediately identified with the lead character, Kat. 

Then we try to figure out if current high school themes moved away from stereotypes. We then somehow end up talking about 'Skins,' UK version.

To relax, Katie watches 'Greek,' the 2007 teen drama about a college freshman. But she thinks more people should be watching Hulu's 'The Great' the satire about Catherine the Great.

It feels like there aren't any original ideas because so many shows or movies we're watching is based on something else. This week, Khadesia joins the show to breakdown her favorite and ones she dispites. Plus, we brainstorm an actor whose filmography doesn't have an existing IP (intellectual property) think about it.
