📺 The Media Guide S8E1

Between the World Cup, ramping up for S8 and our expanding publishing schedule, and the day job, it's been hard to keep up with everything going on. So for this first edition of The Media Guide for season eight, we have a doozy of an issue to catch up on everything we've missed over the course of the last month plus twice as many favorites to check out above the paywall.

📺 The Bear Season 5 — Hulu

One of our most anticipated shows of the year even despite the last two seasons being below average. While the whole season has already dropped at this point, I've been savoring it with an episode a week and so far, appreciate the approach they've taken for their last season.

🎵 Probable Claws by Sincere Engineer

Oh boy, this is some killer indie rock! There's just so much to love here. Easily a contender for album of the year so far.

📚 Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1 — Dark Horse Comics

I don't really know anything about Concrete, but it's a long running series and that cover is absolutely gorgeous.

🎬 Disclosure Day

Spielberg returns to sci-fi and while I haven't seen it, there reviews seem fine to slightly dissapointing, which is a bit of a bummer.

📺 House of the Dragon Season 3 — HBO

Here there be dragons! And so far through a couple episodes, we've seen a ton of dragons.

📺 Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness Season 1 — HBO

I adore Curb and Larry David, but so far this show of skits about American history has been a lot more misses than hits, retreading a lot of themes from both Curb and Seinfeld a bit too closely.

📚 The Eye Collector #1 — Image Comics

The cover art for this is absolutely gorgeous and given we just published the gothic-weird lovecraftian A Face That Knows, this feels like a great companion to get you in the mood while you wait for your copy.

📚 M1: Monster Racing League #1 — Image Comics

Jae Lee on art for a book about a Monster Racing League. Need I say more?
