The Beta Report episodes

  • And the Nominees are...
    Award season is upon us! We've entered the time of year where we get to revel in the greatness of our current entertainment star's work(s). The time for accolades and ceremonies has begun to cascade over us and we've got our initial reactions and predictions for the recent Grammy Awards and the upcoming Oscars.  We also have a ton of new segments that we hope will help you and your viewing needs. From what is or what isn't worth seeing at the theater this weekend to what you we're watching on Netflix and why you should be watching it too. 
    Plus, we've got a brand new PICK OF THE WEEK, a lot of singing in this episode, and an interesting message from Number 45. Listen to the episode to find out what that is...
    We've got all that and so much more on this week's episode of The Beta Report.

  • Black Lightning & Pun Man Save the Day
    When you're struck with a jolt of fear and the thunderous charge of danger is shockingly near. Worry not, as the electrifying duo of Black Lightning and Pun Man are here to light your darkest nights! Okay, that is about as punny as I can get without throwing up. But, this is our show in a nutshell. We review the CW's brand new super hero show Black Lightning's first episode. Are the characters compelling? Is the villain a real threat? Is this show Beta Approved? You'll have to listen to find out. 
    And, as the CW universe of DC characters continues to expand, we discuss what movie or TV universe we'd most like to live in. Would Uno like to live in the MCU to assume his secret super hero identity: Pun Man? Would the Kon want to meet the alternate Khan in the Star Trek Universe? Am I going to Never-land so that I can really be Forever Five?!? You'll just have to listen to find out. 
    We also decided to extend last week's SECRET WORD CHALLENGE for one more week! We also have a new SECRET WORD CHALLENGE for this week that would effect our blog. Plus, as always, we have a new...no, we have THREE PICKS OF THE WEEK for you to check out. All that and many many more puns, and so much more, on this week's episode of The Beta Report.

  • TV Time: 2018 Preview

    The box. Telly. Small screen. The tube. The boob-tube. TV. Television. We all have one. Or two, or three. We even carry one in our pocket now! The way we consume TV shows today, has changed dramatically in the last couple of years. With streaming services, cable channel apps, and video-sharing websites all providing access to what we could only get at a certain time in one particular place, has now opened up a world of opportunities to mind-numbingly binge every TV show that is out there. But, with all those possibilities now available to us, it might be hard to figure out what to watch, when to watch, and where to watch some of the new and returning shows in 2018. That’s where we come in. The Beta Report has done all your homework for you. They don’t call one of us the King of The Nerds for nothing. In today’s episode, we highlight some of the best brand new shows coming out this year and we also look at some of our favorite returning shows like Jessica Jones, The Handmaid’s Tale and Atlanta. 

    We also have a new PICK OF THE WEEK and a challenge for all of our listeners…Listen in to see what that might be and what that might mean for Uno, Kon, and Jay. We got all that and so much more on this week’s episode of The Beta Report.

  • 2017: In Review
    Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a fun and safe holiday season with friends and family. Now, its our turn to celebrate with you as we look forward to kicking off the new year with a brand new show! But, before we dive head first into the new year, we want to look back at what 2017 had to offer.
    Last year was such a great year in entertainment. From Logan to Wonder Woman, COCO to Get Out, Mindhunter to The Punisher, we had one of, if not, THE BEST year for movies and TV shows EVER. While some of you might consider that a bit of an exaggeration, its hard to deny that 2017 was, at the very least, one of the greatest years for comic book movies and TV shows we've ever had! Just look at this list: Wonder Woman, Logan, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel's The Punisher on Netflix, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, The Gifted, Thor: Ragnarok, Legion, Justice League, etc. And that's just the comic book related stuff. The list can go on and on if we consider the other greats (cough cough...STAR WARS, Stranger Things: Season 2, IT...cough cough).
    So, click the link below to hear what we loved, hated, and regretted not seeing in 2017. We also give a brief look at what we're most excited for this new year, our PICK OF THE WEEK, and Uno's brand new impression (WAKANDA FOREVER). All that, plus so much more, on this week's episode of The Beta Report.

  • Star Wars: TLJ Episode
    It time for The Beta Bros...to end...So that THE BETA REPORT can finally return to full strength. That's right people, Uno, like exiled Luke, has felt the Force calling to him from a distance, and is now back! And, what better time to return, as we focus our force powers to try and tackle what will surely be one of the best movies of the year. That's right, this is our Star Wars: The Last Jedi Episode. But, that's not all. We also have our favorite art director, toy maker, Cudahy shaker and all around dope dude, Carlos Mendoza on today's episode too. 
    We're all in to discuss what we know, share theories, and make our predictions as well. Plus, we got our PICK OF THE WEEK and we also have our first sponsored episode....ever! 
    With that said, this episode is brought to you by Lucha Printing (@Luchaprinting; luchaprinting.com). Make sure to follow them on all Social Media sites and hit up our boy Hugo for all your printing needs. He hit us up with some amazing "Estar Guars" shirts that we will be sharing soon. Stay tuned.
