The Bear
Hulu
New Series!
Chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) has gone from haute cuisine to hot dogs, and he might have finally found his happy place. Carmy gave up his career as a chef at the world’s best restaurant and returned to sweet home Chicago to take over his family’s sandwich shop, The Original Beef of Chicagoland, following his brother’s suicide. With the restaurant deeply in debt, Carmy has to win over the stubborn kitchen staff, manage the menu, and keep the business and his sanity intact. “I have every intention of turning this into an efficient, respectable place run by adults … eventually,” Carmy says. Enter young, smart and ambitious Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), an aspiring chef who comes looking for a job at her father’s favorite restaurant. “There’s a chance to prove herself by working at The Original Beef — not just to Carmy, who she admires so much, and the OG crew of The Beef — but to herself,” Edebiri. The Bear brings the viewer into the frenetic, controlled chaos of a cramped kitchen where the actors have to take the heat. “It was a working kitchen and when we’d shoot, the A/C would be off and we’d be cooking in scenes, so the burners would be blasting,” Edebiri says. “On top of that, my character loves a collared shirt. So yeah, it could get hot.” The Bear also stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce and Liza Colón-Zayas, with Edwin Lee Gibson and Matty Matheson in recurring roles. — Ryan A. Berenz

TCM Spotlight: Revisionist Westerns: “Women in Revisionist Westerns Double Feature” & “African Americans in Revisionist Westerns Double Feature”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
One example of how the Revisionist Western subgenre of cinema upended traditional Western tropes was in its occasional inclusion of primary characters not frequently given much prominence in traditional Westerns, notably women and people of color. Tonight’s two double features on Turner Classic Movies show some examples, first with a pair of female-focused Revisionist Westerns: William A. Wellman’s Westward the Women (1951), in which a mid 19th century wagon train of women overcome hardships as they travel from Chicago to California to meet their mail-order husbands; and Nicholas Ray’s Johnny Guitar (1954), starring Joan Crawford as a tough, gun-toting saloon keeper with a sordid past and one of the first feminist Westerns. Following these are two Revisionist Westerns with prominent African American characters. First is Buck and the Preacher (1972), which “bucked” Western traditions with its central cast of Black actors, including star/director Sidney Poitier (his feature film directorial debut), Harry Belafonte and Ruby Dee. After that is Thomasine & Bushrod (1974), a Bonnie and Clyde-like “blaxploitation” Western directed by Gordon Parks Jr. (Super Fly), and starring Max Julien and Vonetta McGee.

Star of the Month: Judy Garland
TCM, beginning at 4pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Friday salute to the films of Judy Garland concludes today with a lineup of five films, several of which are from her later career. First up, Garland provides the voice of a Turkish Angora cat named Mewsette in Gay Purr-ee (1962), the only animated feature Garland appeared in. It costars Robert Goulet, in his first film role, as the voice of Mewsette’s boyfriend, an orange tabby named Jaune Tom. The movie was cowritten by Dorothy Jones and her husband, legendary animator Chuck Jones. Next, Garland costars as 1920s-’30s Broadway star Marilyn Miller in Till the Clouds Roll By, a 1946 biopic of composer Jerome Kern (Robert Walker). Garland’s sequences were directed by her new husband, Vincente Minnelli; she was pregnant at the time, and about four months after she completed her scenes, she would give birth to their daughter, Liza Minnelli. Following that is A Star Is Born (1954), the second adaptation of this classic Hollywood tale, a musical drama that earned Garland her first Best Actress Oscar nomination. The day concludes with Garland’s final two film appearances: A Child Is Waiting, a 1963 drama written by Abby Mann and directed by John Cassavetes, and costarring Burt Lancaster; and I Could Go on Singing (1963), a musical drama that featured Garland singing in a big-screen production for the first time since A Star Is Born.

Special Theme: Follow the Thread: “’70s Styles”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies concludes its Saturday night June salute to fashion in the movies with a double feature of iconic films representing notable styles of the 1970s. Fashion at the start of that decade had begun evolving from the free-flowing, individualistic, hippie trend that dominated the latter part of the 1960s. Bell-bottoms (and bell-sleeves), fringes, tie-dyes and frays were all popular, especially in the early ’70s, when individual expression was the underlying spirit. By mid-decade, disco music — and fashion — started to dominate. And there were other looks as well, like the ones seen in this evening’s titles. Up first is the 1975 romantic drama Mahogany, in which Diana Ross plays an aspiring designer who finds fame and fortune in the world of fashion (Ross also performs the movie’s Oscar-nominated original song “Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To).”) The actress/singer herself had always been interested in design — she even helped create the wardrobe for the Supremes when she was a member of the group — so she pushed director Berry Gordy to let her create her character’s outfits. He hesitated but ultimately relented, and Ross’ designs for the film were an immediate sensation. Some described the clothes as over-the-top, while others loved them more than the movie itself. No matter what, they had an undeniable impact in the world of fashion. When people think of tonight’s second film, Martin Scorsese’s Best Picture Oscar-nominated 1976 classic Taxi Driver, there’s a good chance that Robert De Niro’s Best Actor Oscar-nominated performance as Travis Bickle is the first thing that comes to mind. Or it might be the shocking violence associated with the film, or perhaps the controversy surrounding the casting of Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Jodie Foster as Iris, a 12-year-old prostitute. And, for many people, it might be the costumes. Ruth Morley designed looks for De Niro and Foster’s characters that continue to inspire on fashion runways and in the streets. Bickle, a mentally disturbed Vietnam veteran, was disillusioned by his country that let him down upon his return. As an act of rebellion, he wore military surplus attire that resonated at the time and continues to be relevant. Iris had a very ’70s look that included a flowery crop top, a studded white belt, hot pants and hat with an upturned brim. And while that attire was definitely of its era, it was also part of a deco revival trend that had started in the late ’60s. A third Taxi Driver character stood out for her clothes, too: Cybill Shepherd’s Betsy. That wasn’t because of Morley’s costumes, though. Instead, it was Diane von Furstenberg’s now-iconic wrap dress worn by Betsy that captured the public’s imagination and became a cultural phenomenon that remains a “must-have” for many women today.

Point Blank
MOVIES!, 1:05pm
Catch a Classic!
Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn and Carroll O’Connor lead the wonderful cast of this terrific 1967 crime noir based on Donald Westlake’s (writing as Richard Stark) novel The Hunter, thrillingly helmed by John Boorman (Deliverance) in just the second feature film he directed. Marvin plays Walker, a double-crossed thug who has been cut out of the score from a major heist and is left for dead. But Walker somehow doesn’t die, and neither does his thirst for merciless vengeance as he strives to claim his money and hunt down members of the L.A. crime syndicate who were involved in setting him up. One of those movies that may have been a little ahead of its time, with its non-linear structure and often stark locations, Point Blank did not do well upon its initial release. Over the years, though, it has become not only a cult classic, but was also recognized as an outright classic, selected in 2016 for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry.

Them!
TCM, 9:30am
Catch a Classic!
One of the earliest of the “big bug” monster movies that arrived in theaters in the early post-World War II Atomic Age — and the ensuing anxiety that era and its new weapons delivered to audiences — also happens to be one of the best. The “Them!” in this 1954 classic from Warner Bros. are ants that have been transformed into gigantic monsters after years of exposure to radiation left over from A-bomb testing in the New Mexico desert. The film takes its time before revealing the creatures, which is good for a few reasons. For one thing, they are kind of silly-looking, although considering the effects standards of the day they aren’t too bad, and certainly there would be far more ludicrous creations hitting movie screens in these types of films over the ensuing years in cheaper movies with less creative talents. Not showing the ants right away also ratchets up terrific suspense and an eerie ambience as police officers (including one played by the film’s star, James Whitmore) on patrol begin getting reports of missing persons, and finding strange footprints accompanying massive damage while they patrol during a sandstorm. Sounds like the creepy howling of the wind during that sandstorm play an important role in these early scenes, and throughout the movie, in creating a tense atmosphere in Them!, and the chilling trills signaling the ants are nearby more than offset how limited the insects’ appearance may be in terms of making them terrifying threats, whether it’s in the early scenes in the desert or the climactic showdown in the Los Angeles sewer system. — Jeff Pfeiffer

TCM Spotlight: Revisionist Westerns: “Horror and Sci-Fi Double Feature” & “’90s Double Feature”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
The final evening of Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Thursday night tribute to the Revisionist Western subgenre features two double features related to different themes. The first two movies show how wildly a Western could be subverted by filmmakers who combined elements of that traditional genre with those from genres that at first would appear quite distinct from it: horror and science fiction. Up first is Westworld (1973), one of the earliest films to combine sci-fi with a Western. Written and directed by Michael Crichton, it shares elements of Crichton’s later, and more successful, Jurassic Park, in its story of a futuristic Western-themed amusement park whose life-like android gunslingers suddenly malfunction and begin killing people. Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin and James Brolin star. Next is the neo-Western horror classic Near Dark (1987), cowriter/director Kathryn Bigelow’s (her solo directorial debut) tale of a young man in a small Oklahoma town who becomes involved with a family of nomadic vampires. Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton star. Finishing up the evening, and the monthlong programming stunt, are two Revisionist Westerns from the 1990s, both making their TCM debuts: Dead Man (1995), a surreal and psychedelic Western from writer/director Jim Jarmusch that stars Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Crispin Glover and Lance Henriksen; and Posse (1993), directed by and starring Mario Van Peebles, and also featuring Stephen Baldwin, Billy Zane, Tone-Lōc, Melvin Van Peebles, Tiny Lister and Isaac Hayes.

Friday Night Frights!: “Dracula A.D. 1972” & “The Satanic Rites of Dracula”
MOVIES!, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Tonight’s Friday Night Frights! double feature on MOVIES! brings you the final two of the famed horror productions from Britain’s Hammer Studios that boasted memorable onscreen pairings between legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as, respectively, Count Dracula and his vampire-hunting nemesis Van Helsing. First up is Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972), which brought Lee and Cushing back together in these roles for the first time since Hammer’s original Dracula in 1958, and marked Cushing’s return to the role of Van Helsing for the first time since 1960’s The Brides of Dracula (which did not actually feature an onscreen appearance from Dracula). Updating the previous productions’ Victorian era settings to swinging, psychedelic early 1970s London, the film finds Lee’s bloodsucker being brought back to life and preying on a group of young partygoers, one of whom is a descendant of Van Helsing. Hammer continued Dracula A.D. 1972’s modern setting, and brought back many of its characters, for Lee and Cushing’s third and final Dracula/Van Helsing team-up — 1973’s The Satanic Rites of Dracula, which concludes tonight’s double feature. This movie also marked Lee’s final appearance as Dracula, while Cushing would appear once more as Van Helsing in Hammer’s last Dracula production, 1974’s The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires.
