The Beta Test Review Writer-director-actor Jim Cummings' made a splash with Thunder Road and The Wolf of Snow Hollow, two independently produced films that were both very well received on the American indie circuit. His latest, The Beta Test, co-written and directed with its co-star PJ McCabe was 100% crowdfunded and made specifically in a way to avoid the traditional old-school corporate model of moviemaking to have complete control of the final product. The Beta Test is many things: a scathing satire of Hollywood culture; a black comedy; a detective story; and an erotic thriller that doubles as a cautionary tale about the age of digital tracking and your digital footprint. It' best described as the twisted delinquent cousin to Robert Altman's The Player— something WGA members will love, and agents will hate! This week on the Sordid Cinema Podcast, Simon Howell and Ricky D break down why The Beta Test is one of their favourite films of 2021 and explain why Jim Cummings is a star in the making.

Welcome back to the Deep Focus podcast. My guests this week are a duo: Jim Cummings and PJ McCabe, the co-directors, co-writers and co-stars of IFC Films' “The Beta Test,” and let me say that yes, this conversation is well-overdue. "The Beta Test" came out in late November, but hey, it's on VOD and more importantly, in a little teaser of what's to come: you will see "The Beta Test" on our upcoming list of the Best Films Of 2021 That You Didn't See. If that feels like a backhanded compliment. It's not meant to be. The film is just sorely overlooked and we urge people to see it. "The Beta Test" is about a married Hollywood agent—played by Cummings—who receives a mysterious letter for an anonymous sexual encounter and becomes ensnared in a big web of deceit, lies, and twist and turns. It's a dark, satirical look at Hollywood, cancel culture, the woke age of empathy and how that's really just terrified a lot of white men. Cummings and McCabe also talk about one of their indie heroes David Gordon Green who they have worked with a little bit and tease two more indie films they have in the works and suffice to say they are very ambitious. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/support

We're ecstatic to present this exclusive 90-minute audio commentary for The Beta Test. Rewatch the film with this playing in your ear and it'll be just like having PJ and Jim in your living room! (Jim presses play on the movie at the 28-second mark, following a short intro.) Read more on Journal.

It's the holidays, so actor and filmmaker PJ McCabe, who co-wrote, co-directed and co-stars with Jim Cummings in the very funny, very strange erotic thriller The Beta Test, tackles Eyes Wide Shut, the 1999 Cruise-and-Kidman holiday psychodrama that stands as Stanley Kubrick's final statement on human frailty. Your genial host Norm WIlner has to admit it: He's never been a fan.

In this twisted tale of a soon-to-be-married Hollywood agent receives a mysterious letter for an anonymous sexual encounter and becomes ensnared in a sinister world of lying, murder, and infidelity in this scintillating satire. Written and directed by PJ McCabe and Jim Cummings, THE BETA TEST is a dark satire thriller of Hollywood power dynamics and the vast interconnectivity of digital culture today. This winding thriller displays the problematic nature of the entertainment industry and humanity's willingness to jeopardize our happiness in small and constant decisions. It asks the question “In the age of internet consumerism and digital tracking, does anyone truly have privacy? And can we ever truly rest without having all the answers?” Co-directors / co-writers Jim Cummings and PJ McCabe join us for a conversation on this fantastical, thrill-ride through the avaricious landscape that defines “Hollywood,” and the pursuit of power, money and sex.

After a year of staying as far away from the show as possible, Pablo comes back to talk about two character driven thrillers. We start with a discussion about 2018's Burning from South Korea and close with a talk about this year's The Beta Test. We also talk about another upcoming Stephen King adaptation and have an interview with the Jim Cummings and P.J. McCabe from The Beta Test.There are just some things we cannot get away from on the show. Another Stephen King adaptation is on the way, and this time Rob Savage is at the helm. We talk about The Boogeyman, whether a short story can effectively be made into a two hour movie, and if a director known for found footage will be able to pull it all off.Parasite made history at the Academy Awards in 2020. Arguably, the path for its success was paved the year before with Burning. The movie is about a man who runs into a childhood friend. This one chance encounter leads to a carefully laid out mystery, commentary on class, and nuanced storytelling. Before we talk about The Beta Test , directors, writers, and stars Jim Cummings and P.J. McCabe talk about how they made the movie, what fears they had, and why improvisation does not work for them. It is a great interview that touches on what is wrong with Hollywood and possibly foreshadows the future of moviemaking.The film itself is a genre mash that includes elements of horror, erotica, comedy, and mystery. It is a modern story that also touches on social media and datamining. But is there too much going on? We talk about the performances, whether the movie is too inside, and the loss of erotica thrillers.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

In The Beta Test, a married Hollywood agent receives a mysterious letter for an anonymous sexual encounter and becomes ensnared in a sinister world of lying, infidelity, and digital data. Writer-Director Jim Cummings tells Write On: "I had the idea for the letter service, and I called PJ and I was like, 'What would you do if you got a letter in the mail, personally, that invited you to a no-strings-attached sexual encounter?' And he said, 'I wouldn't go because that would be insane,' and then I thought, 'Yeah, but what if you were somebody that would?'"   Writer-Director PJ McCabe goes on to discuss their collaborative process: "It's really just the two of us with our laptops out in [Jim's] garage, and we'll just walk around acting it out, and we'll do it a million different ways until we find the way we do it that makes us laugh… and the best setup and payoff in a scene that keeps it the most interesting and moves it, logically, to the next step in the plot."   Don't forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes!   Now available on Google Podcasts!

In The Beta Test, PJ McCabe and Jim Cummings play struggling Hollywood agents trying to project a veneer of success. When Cummings' Jordan receives an interesting offer in the mail, his job and engagement are threatened. McCabe (pictured, left) and Cummings (right) tell us that interviews with real Hollywood agents — and their spouses — helped inform The Beta Test. They also talk about some of the sharp twists in their story, inspired in part by Eyes Wide Shut. And they talk about why they believe the old Hollywood system is over, and what filmmakers should do now.In addition to making the recent films Thunder Road and The Wolf of Snow Hollow, and playing cops in both, Cummings also has a small but crucial role in the new Halloween Kills, playing a cop who is curiously named... McCabe. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Eric Holmes interviews THE BETA TEST filmmakers Jim Cummings and PJ McCabe.

You've probably heard of Jim Cummings' last two films, "Thunder Road" and "The Wolf Of Snow Hollow." Well, now he's partnering with his buddy PJ McCabe and together, the two are co-directing, co-writing, and co-starring in one of the year's best comedies, "The Best Test." With a biting commentary on toxic masculinity, today's Hollywood culture, data privacy, and more, the film is as ambitious as it is outrageous. Both Jim and PJ were kind enough to spend some time talking with me about their film, which will be playing in theaters and available to rent on VOD from IFC Films on November 5th.

We had the pleasure of attending the Texas premiere for Jim Cummings and PJ McCabe's satirical erotic thriller, The Beta Test, with both directors in attendance! It was a wickedly fun, hilariously nasty irreverent ride that features another strong comedic performance from Cummings. We enjoyed the film and look forward to seeing it again when it releases on 11/5, Guy Fawkes day ironically. We hope you enjoy this Q&A as much as we did.

You're listening to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. First I interview the directors and co-stars of The Beta Test, a crackling new comedy of panic set in the double-talking world of Hollywood agents. Then it's the thrilling conclusion of my conversation with writer/critic Bruce Bennett, about the 1961 Japanese mystery/melodrama Zero Focus and bizarro 1975 thriller The 'Human' Factor, starring George Kennedy. The Beta Test screens in this year's Tribeca Film Festival and comes out in November from IFC Films.
