Screener Squad: Beef

Beef series review

BEEF SERIES REVIEW

BEEF is what you get when you can’t just let some petty shit go. You know what I’m talking about… that one time you were dissed in front of your paramour or when your boss (the one that hates your guts), yells at you in front of your peers. Sure, maybe replacing their shampoo with hair remover seems harmless… But when is revenge truly won, and in the end is it worth it? Well strap in kids, because Steven Yeun and Ali Wong are going to take this beef further than any of them ever imagined. And it’s not just their own lives that are being disrupted. Each and every time they think they’ve won, it opens another thread or lie that affects their loved ones. With performances that can only be described as “holy shit,” the entire cast serves a purpose beyond Danny (Yeun) and Amy’s (Wong) Beef. This story is sad, but the comedy in between the sadness is why you stay until the end. Join Sarah Jane, Kim, and Chad as they gush about one of 2023’s best shows.

Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)

Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”

 

 

Sarah Jane (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)

Sarah Jane was born and raised in Southern California but currently calls Austin, TX her home. She’s seen over 5,700 movies so far with zero plans on stopping. She has a penchant for all things exploitation, and she loves Godzilla with all her heart. Her favorite films are Deep Red, Le Samourai, and Miller’s Crossing. When she isn’t watching movies, she’s busy herding her four cats, her husband, and her 11-year-old kiddo. She’s been a contributor to TalkFilmSociety, Daily Grindhouse, FThisMovie!, Looper, and the Austin Chronicle. You can find her on Twitter and Letterboxd at @fookthis.

 

 

Kimberly Brown (Highly Suspect Reviews)

Kimberly wants to live in a world filled with blue telephone boxes, speedsters, and ice dragons but through an ironic twist of fate, she’s stuck in this reality where these wondrous things only exist on page or film. Kim’s perpetual desire to consume sci-fi and fantasy media as a teen led her to the study of illustration/design at university to better understand its creation. Currently an Austin transplant, when she’s not wearing her critic hat you can find her pretending to like hiking, fielding questions about her hair or maybe even enjoying a local brew at the nearest dive bar.
