Beef
On this episode, we discuss the A24 Netflix series Beef, about two people who get into a road rage incident in a parking lot and allows that rage to consume their lives. Of course we can't discuss Beef without touching on the controversy surrounding one of its casing decisions (TW: mention of SA), and if those decisions keep this show from being truly good pop.

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
