Amazing review as always. I like how deep you both get into this one as it definitely appears to be a movie to have a lot to talk about.

I’m so jealous you got to see this! I’ve been following it since seeing Thunder Road and Wolf of Snow Hallow and it’s one of my most anticipated movies because Jim Cummings is one of a kind with his delivery and comedy, like a mix of Paul Rudd and Jason Bateman. Him being in the flashback in Halloween Kills was my favorite part of that entire disappointing movie. Hearing story spoilers for this means nothing because it’s his performances that makes anything he does worth while. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this.

Joseph describing the lady 😆 haha 😂 Oh, Lord! 😂 I suppose she’s a “lovely” lady too, my friends. Great movie review tho the movie per se is not good. Your reviews make the movies look interesting even when they are not. That’s a gift, folks!

Was listening to Nicolas Cage in an interview and he mentioned how masterful Jim Cummings and his movies are, so I just watched this. I loved it. I’m not entirely sure I understood it’s overall message, but what a wild ride. Cummings very much is channeling Cage and Jim Carrey in his performance. What a wild movie. I was engrossed the whole way.

Hollywood satire, social media satire, dating sites satire, narcissism, hypocrisy, polygamy, open marriage, all blended into a devilishly good smoothie called "Beta Test".

I love Jim Cummings, and I loved what he did in Thunder Road and Snow Hollow. But I am starting to wonder if he can ONLY play the part of a person who is anxiety ridden or angry etc. I would like to see him branch out of that comfort zone.

Iffy about how Jim Cummings’ movies are shot. Wolf reminded me of a sterile car commercial.

It's still an entertaining and interesting film despite some flaws, which if addressed would've made it a lot better, e.g. like you said, he should've been more invested as a married 50 yr old instead of not even being married yet. I don't get how there were murders just because their mates found out they were cheating...it didn't mesh. Didn't notice the rotting hidden teeth as I was focused on the vampire fangs...are those his real teeth or another symbolism? Haha.

I'm super late with this comment. I just saw the movie last night and Cummings reminds me a lot of Jim Carrey lol. I never saw him before this and he's funny af to me in this movie. The opening scene was so crazy I was all in but then they just lost me through out the movie. I didn't understand giving up 5k to meet the secret person but for me it would have made more sense for the basement dude to ask for the 5k to keep their encounters secret and those that didn't pay he could then send their partners the info on them cheating. Also he had so much money from the people paying 5k yet he was living in the basement lol. I agree with y'all review it was just all over the place but had enough good moments to be a decent watch.

Im sorry no disrespect but I think you totally missed the point and the premise of “The Beta Test”. Watch it again! The opening scene sets all the craziness and obsession up! It’s also a satirical film!

Just from the very little I've seen and yournreview and the way it was handled especially this special treatment of certain reporters all comes off as very pretentious which makes me sad as I love the actor and director parts of this man

The vape had poison in it! That’s why she then ,as she tears up puts her hand out as if wanting to take a hit and is why he looks at her funny before handing it over to her before he starts choking,We’re led to believe she doesn’t vape! She then kills herself by also hitting the Vape as he’s dying. BTW It becomes more of a mystery when you can’t actually see the face of the “Encounter Girl” while watching. Spoiler, It is Olivia Applegate BTW so he dies find her!

I think you guys didn’t understand the film. Or maybe I didn’t but the scene at the very end with the wife she is exited about 8 more dead in LA. I think she was in charge the entire time and she set this up to kill alpha men off so that women can move into the work place to replace them. The entire thing was a “beta test” she knew what was going on the entire time. That’s why she had the scissors for self defense as well just incase he was a “toxic alpha male” and she had to kill him: also they are running to the boarder to escape the justice system. They were running at the end. The title is the only thing that gives it away because it is extremely hard to follow. Idk just my theory, would love to hear what others think.

I think you're massively confused. She wasn't in charge and it has nothing to do with "toxic alpha men", neither did she sound excited about 8 more being dead -- She was worried. Anyway, she was a participant like Jim Cummings' character who got her own card, for which there is literally a scene where she receives a purple envelope with her name on, which she then opens and also checks "Top" and "Dom" on the spot (Jim Cummings' character did it later). The only question that remains is who did she have sex with -- if at all -- because Jordan is apparently the only one who hasn't paid the money to discover their "soulmate". The title was also an afterthought to the whole production, so I don't know how much you want interpret into it, but since the writers keep saying it is a critique of social media and their accountability/cancel culture, you could spin a few theories. For example, the idea is that Doms and Subs are the best matches for each other, but Caroline and Jordan both checked 'Dom'. That's not supposed to work out according to popculture, but Caroline is a true 'Dom' who isn't insecure and compromises, while Jordan is insecure, which is akin to a Beta. Jordan's progression is going from being insecure and a sleazy cowardly lying dirtbag, to being OK with himself, being confident and goal driven, to transforming into an equal for Caroline at the end, an actual 'Dom'. So the 'test' could be if he's actually a beta/sub after all, if he can't overcome his insecurity during the journey. That's also why the deaths might be happening, because the relationships adhere to the combination of Dom+Sub and those relationships with an insecure emotional beta just end that way, even if the appearance might suggest that they would be 'Doms'. That's also what the scissors symbolize at the end -- will he be a beta and attack her, or will he be an alpha by taking responsibility and compromise. Or, you know, it's just a play on words because it's about beta testing an app.

I love watching people complain about how movies are made without any real understanding of what the people making them are doing and why they're doing it. Now just that, but trying to put themselves in the filmmaker's position or the characters', but can't because they're not them. It's sometimes more fun than the movie.
