No Problem with 'Beef'
"Beef" is a new dark comedy with a near entire Asian-American cast

Laura Diaz is an up-and-coming influencer under pressure by a VIP sponsor to give her best performance for a Halloween live stream giveaway. As the stream starts with a series of trivia questions, the night takes a creepy turn when a mysterious user comments on Laura's personal life. As Laura continues to open gift boxes from her sponsors, she soon discovers that some of the boxes have grotesque gifts inside of them. The mysterious user then texts Laura and explains that she will have to play along with his own sick game of giveaway, or else there will be a deadly price to pay.

Netflix's Afterlife of the Party might fall into the rom-com genre, but it's much more about grief, strong female friendships, and platonic love than it is about romance.
Dramatic Horror!!! Wait, what?? Did you say "dramatic horror"?? IS there such a thing?? I mean, TRULY. Well, if San Francisco-based, Pakistani-born independent filmmaker Dr. Hassan Zee and this film critic have anything to say about it, there IS such a beast as experienced through the director's newest feature film set to officially debut October 4th in the City by the Bay. Folks, indie film will always be a bastion of experimentation and originality, and this film for me fits that bill.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
