But, before you hit the theaters, make sure and check out our Captain Marvel Preview show to get you ready for all of the cosmic mayhem that this noble-warrior-hero will be raining down on everyone’s face! We also have our initial reactions to the new X-Men: Dark Phoenix trailer. Is the Phoenix story line just not meant to be adapted into live action? Will this be d...

Celebrity depravity is typically something we stayed away from. But, when Pete Davidson started dating Kate Beckinsale, the Beta Boys just couldn’t stay quite any longer. In this episode, we’ll be talking all about our buddy Pete, the return of a group we never knew left, and the unfortunate passing of Hollywood heartthrob Luke Perry. We’ll also breakdown the new Game of Thrones Season 8 trailer a...

For this year’s Oscar’s Review Show, The Beta Report is going host-less, too. So this is an hour long episode of just silence. SIKE. We’re breaking down all of the surprises and snubs, the familiar and the refreshingly unfamiliar awards and choices. We also span the entire pantheon of Oscar winners and pick our #1 Favorite Best Picture Winner of all Time!

We’re all saddened by the sudden—yet expected—news that The Punisher and Jessica Jones are now officially cancelled. The general consensus is that they’ll more than likely return on Disney’s streaming service, Disney+ due out later this year (presumably in the fall). So, with Disney making a push at the streaming service game and Hulu as well as Amazon Prime releasing great original content, is Ne...

Seldom do we take the time to honor the men who shaped our country and liberated us from the oppressive tyranny of foreign and domestic threats…to a degree. Yes, these men aren’t perfect and some aren’t even competent, but what they undeniably are, are the building blocks for compelling and entertaining movie characters. With that said, in honor of President’s Day, The Beta Boys give you the TOP 3...

Just like the sweater song, Weezer is a beautiful tapestry of our fragile and precious adolescence all wrapped up in a menagerie of teenage nostalgia. Add that deliciously warm garb to the collective coolness of past hits and iconic anthems and what you get is a Teal blanket that holds all of the enchanting possibilities of building an imaginary fort. All that to say, we’re talking about cover son...

Love is blind, but you don’t have to be when it comes to your Valentine’s Day movie choices.

The Beta Bros also uncover a hidden in plain sight love virtuoso. You’ll be shocked to find out which group of films by the same director, we believe are the epito...

This episode is Sicko Mode, is gonna be Sicko Mode, is going Sicko Mode….??? We honestly have no idea how to use this word. Our age is definitely showing here. But, thankfully, we booked some teenage experts aka The KON’s kids, to walk us through the proper way of using: “Sicko Mode”. And old meets new, as The Beta Boys dust off some TBR classics with a new edition of GO/NO GO (The Prodigy & The L...

To the most homicidal iteration of Batman we’ve ever seen…we bid you farewell. As we say goodbye to Ben Affleck, our cleft chin crusader, we ask the one question on everyone’s mind: So, who’s next? Who can or should step into the cape and cowl and be the next Batman? We also step into another dimension, where time stops and TV shows no longer get rebooted. The Beta Boys react to Jordan Peele’s upc...

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beta Report is proud to present…THE RANDOM TOPIC GENERATOR. [Cue cheesy game show music!!!] The Beta Bros wanted to shake things up this episode. Instead of having a set agenda, we took several random topics that we each wanted to talk about, through them into our high-tech Random Topic Generator, and just let it rip! It goes from Joker to Candyman and Ted Bundy to…Miss B...

In case you guys haven’t heard, GLASS has made more than $100 Million Dollars in the box office to date. It only took $20 Million to make. That’s insane! But, it is good though? Did we really need this trilogy 18 years after Unbreakable first burst onto the scene? And the twists…were they effective or is it all just played out now? The Beta Bros take a deep dive into M. Night Shyamalan’s introspec...

The 2019 Oscar nominations were revealed this week. Movies ranging from Netflix Originals to the powerhouse studio mainstays were all well represented in every category of this year’s noms. But, none more surprising than Black Panther receiving a Best Picture nomination. Will Oscar trade his gold for vibranium and award Marvel’s smash hit with Hollywood’s highest honor? Would an Oscar win lend any...

No, this isn’t the Beta Report’s new NBA-centric podcast about great rebounders in NBA history. It’s just a clever title. Although, that would be a pretty great idea. File away for later (Patent Pending)…This is however one of those moments where the universe just aligns things for you perfectly and you have no choice but to bring it to light: Punisher+Glass=Jigsaw…this stuff writes itself! Anyway...

Spider-Man: Far From Home has just released its first trailer. Just in time for The Beta Report to rip it to shreds and give you every little detail you might have missed, like: Is Mysterio a wizard from Kamar Taj, where Dr. Strange also learned his magic? Is that the Spider-Noir suit? Is this a different Spider-verse? We also build up a few theories, re-work timelines, and travel to different dim...

Other than our smartphones, I don’t think there has been anything more culture defining than: Netflix. The media streaming giant has consistently poured out hit after hit, creating some of the most entertaining and memorable shows and movies of our time like Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Roma, and Bird Box, to name a few. Netflix has not only grown from a mere movie rental service, it...

Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Aquaman, Deadpool 2, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Incredibles 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, Hereditary, Halloween, Ready Player One, SOLO, A Quiet Place, Bird Box, Roma, A Star is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody…2018 was a great year for entertainment! But with so much great, high-quality content endle...

Listen as we break our heads trying to figure out what is going to happen to Tony, what’s up with Hawkeye’s new duds, and why wont they just buzz Ant-Man in? Plus, another New Tune Tuesday, on Thursday, except when...

Let’s try this again. We experienced some technical difficulties last week with the sound of the podcast, so we unfortunately had to pull it. Thank you to all of our friends and listeners who gave us a heads up about the episode. With that said, we had way too much to say about Captain Marvel to not address it one more time. So, here’s our (late) Captain Marvel Reaction Show! We give our first imp...

To the man, the myth, the legend…this episode is dedicated to the late great Stan Lee. Listen as The Beta Bros talk about the legend’s life and his impact on popular culture. I guess one person, can make a difference. ‘Nuff said.

Its dead. Its gone. Its not like the zombies on TV. This time, what’s dead, stays dead…or will it? In all honesty, The Walking Dead has been a little stale for quite sometime now. As Uno so eloquently put it, off the air: “The premise is, stay alive. After 7 years, it gets old.” And while true, this premise has been a little tired, what made TWD so compelling were its characters and not their spec...
