The Beta Report

The Beta Vault is now officially open! And, there is no better way to kick-off this series than with a movie that is as pure and joyful as Johnny 5 himself. The first movie out of the vault this week is: Short Circuit. If you love E.T., Gizmo, Sloth or any of the other quintessential 80’s buddy companions that we all loved and wished we had growing up, then this is the movie for you…that is, of course, if you could look past the blatant brown face, skunk dinners, and steamy sexually charged robot to human chemistry.

Next week, we’ll open the vault once again for another 80’s Classic! Next, we’ll be watching: Blood Sport. Make sure and check it out before next week’s episode so you can give us your thoughts and opinions on this essential piece of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s library of classics.

And listen to this episode where The KON, Uno and Jay dig up a tv show and movie that are currently streaming on all the major streaming sites that have now become hidden gems, forgotten friends, or old companions reaching out to rekindle past memories of non-quarantine times.

This week, The Beta Bros feasted on the new Netflix show Gentefied (Currently #8 on the streaming service’s Top 10 List). The bros discuss the show’s characters, its depiction of Los Angeles, and the wider issue of gentrification. Is Gentefied delicious authenticity or bitter appropriation?

The Streaming War continues to tirelessly rage on as the various platforms that we love continue to vie for our attention. Netflix has just recently dropped a bomb in the form of a new update giving us “blind bingers” a little help. It just released a Top 10 List that spans the wide and varied library of films and TV shows that occupy its digital vaults. It takes original and licensed content alike and puts up a fresh update every 24 hours, giving the casual thumbnail surfer a chance to see what the rest of the country is watching and helping us make some fresh new finds in places we might have never looked…Yeah, i’m looking at you “Gentefied”. The Beta Bros break it down and let you know if its a useful tool, while making a few off topic pit stops along the way.

They also give their Netflix TOP 10 List and the choices might surprise…
