Cinema is an art, and every artist has a distinct manner of converting their work across. Among the stalwarts of cinema, Quentin Tarantino stands as one of the most highly acclaimed directors, and Samuel L. Jackson, as one of his most frequent collaborators.
Together, the duo have defined a genre of movies throughout the retro age and into modern Hollywood. Yet, one of their most iconic prospects faces a challenge from Jeremy Allen’s The Bear.
The critically acclaimed FX series that premiered its first episode in 2022 followed an award-winning chef transitioning from New York to Chicago. The drama-comedy has its own storyline and engaging plot to follow along with a fine cast to complement it all. Yet, it is surprisingly loaded in one aspect that potentially outnumbers the records garnered by the aforementioned cinema legends.
How Jeremy Allen White took over Samuel L. Jackson and Quentin Tarantino
The Bear has found whopping appreciation from critics and audiences alike for maintaining authenticity in its portrayal of fine dining scenes and the intensity of kitchen life. Additionally, its drama revolving around the conflicts and conversations around its characters made way for some of the finest television content. However, regardless of its setting, the show is remarkably profane, dropping a massive number of F-bombs.
An IMDb trivia highlighted that the Jeremy Allen White show, in its two seasons or eighteen episodes so far, used the F-word rigorously. Accounting for a whopping 1052 times, the show dropped the curse word at least once every 34 seconds. Moreover, its season two finale featured the word or its associates 124 times in 40 minutes, or an unhallowed 3.1 F-bombs per minute.
The numbers significantly outpace that mouthed by Samuel L. Jackson, who has a track record of frequently cursing in his movies, especially the ones directed by Quentin Tarantino. The Nick Fury actor has dropped the F-bomb 301 times so far whereas the director’s movies have had 901 instances of it, throughout his nine movies, falling behind what The Bear managed in its outings so far.
The Bear garners records, awards, and a new season
Season 1 of The Bear saw it shaking the shackles and breaking another record. This time, it earned 10 Emmy wins, a new high for a comedy-drama series. Additionally, Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edibiri took home the acting wins. Thereby, the show earned an Emmy in most of the categories it was nominated for, a rare feat in this competitive space.
Season two of the show stands set to possibly break a long-standing Game of Thrones record for the most nominations for a single episode while also eyeing the most nods for a comedy series. Finally, the show is set to return with its third season and favorite characters on June 27, kick-starting the acclaim and award-winning prospects all over again.
The Bear is currently available to stream on Hulu and FX.
