Jeff and Amy kick off a brand-new series on StereoScope Rewind with Apple TV+’s mind-bending show “Pluribus” (episode 1). Still in Stranger Things withdrawal, they dive into this hauntingly beautiful pilot about Carol, a woman who somehow doesn’t change when the rest of the world does—everyone suddenly moving, speaking, and smiling in eerie unison. They unpack the episode’s “what is happening?” energy, the stunning visuals, the unsettling but non-violent vibe that feels like a pleasant version of The Last of Us, and Carol’s complicated bond with Helen. Jeff and Amy also geek out over the show’s long silent stretches, the “happy disease” concept, the mysterious hive-mind “us,” and a fun surprise cameo connection to Young and the Restless star Peter Bergman. If you watched the pilot and are confused, fascinated, and craving theories, this episode is your perfect companion.

Jeff and Amy reunite after a mini break and catch up on 4th of July adventures. Jeff unexpectedly marches in a Mammoth parade, Amy watches Independence Day with a burger and a beer, and both dive into the beauty of Yosemite (and the joy of no cell service).
Then it’s on to The Bear Season 4, Episode 5… a “stressfully calm” installment packed with introspection, quiet tension, and unexpected joy. They break down Carmy’s silence, the before-work montage, and the quieter personal lives of Marcus, Tina, and Sydney. Plus: the return of Luca, White Squall posters and Jurassic Park props?

In this heartwarming episode of StereoScope Rewind, Jeff and Amy dive into The Bear Season 4, Episode 4: Worms. It’s a surprisingly gentle, wisdom packed detour that centers on Sydney. They unpack the episode’s subtle emotional depth, from snapshot storytelling to unexpected life advice delivered by an 11 year old. The hosts reflect on the power of old friendships, the comfort of walk and talks, and the joy of simply stepping away from the chaos of the kitchen. Plus, they finally crack the mystery behind the title "Worms" (spoiler: it's sweet and sour). Along the way, they share favorite quotes, culinary cravings (hello, garbage salad), and predictions for what's next in Sydney’s journey. It’s a cozy, thoughtful rewind that reminds us how much you can feel in just 30 minutes of TV.
