WRATH OF BECKY MOVIE REVIEW
Becky was a 2020 revenge thriller that asked, “What would Rambo be like if he were a 13-year-old girl?” Lulu Wilson starred as the titular Becky, an angsty girl who has lost her mother to cancer and must defend her family against a group of escaped Neo Nazi convicts led by Kevin James. Sadly, this bloody flick came and went in the height of the pandemic and went largely unnoticed. But like any good revenge story, there’s always more vengeance to be had. 3 years later, we pick up with the eponymous lead in The Wrath of Becky, written and directed by Suzanne Coote and Matt Angel. After escaping the violent attack on her family, Becky, now 16, is on her own with dog Diego and living with a kind elderly woman named Elena. Becky just wants to be left alone, but in the meantime, she is perfecting her combat skills for the day she’s allowed to unleash her bloodlust once again. She is given that glorious opportunity when three members of the American terrorist incel organization the Proud Boys MAGA movement, lead by Darryl (Sean William Scott), cross paths with our wonderful psychopath and give her a damn good reason to go full-Becky once more. Neil, Lewayne, Chad, and T.C. offer up their thoughts on both Becky films and also cap off the review by fan casting the next comedian to play the bearded Neo Nazi leader in Becky’s next righteous killing spree.

Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
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.”
