About this episode
The episode reviews the biopic 'Michael' and the series 'Beef', discussing themes of relationships and the impact of vibe in media.
We review Michael, the biopic on Michael Jackson, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role. Then, we discuss the acclaimed comedy drama series, Beef, which is back with another season and a whole new cast of characters. This time, it follows two couples (Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as one pair, alongside Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny) divided by generation, wealth, power and crumbling marriages. Then, on Take Two we ask you: What’s a movie or show where the vibe (like the music, wardrobe, or overall mood) really made the experience for you?
