Beth Accomando

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

I have been writing about film since 1987 and think of myself more as a film activist than critic because I love to advocate for movies and for them to be seen in cinemas. I also program films through Film Geeks SD at Digital Gym Cinema and Comic-Con Museum. I have been an editor on the sequels to The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and am the creator of the Emmy-winning video podcast Stripper Energy: Fighting Back from the Fringes about a civil right battle fought from the unlikely stage of a strip club.

Favorites:

Recent favorites: Shaun of the Dead, Mysterious Skin, Irreversible, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Millennium Mambo, In the Mood for Love... Old faves: Anything with Monty Python or the Marx Brothers, The Godfather, Hard-Boiled, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Raging Bull, Trust, Police Story, Full Contact, Adam's Rib...oh there's too many.

Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal: Season 3 (2026) 100% EDIT “It will make you gasp in awe, but it will also break your heart. ” – KPBS.org Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 1 (2022) EDIT “The first two episodes of Andor just felt blandly expository and uninspired.” – KPBS.org Sep 24, 2022 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 2 (2022) EDIT “The first two episodes of Andor just felt blandly expository and uninspired.” – KPBS.org Sep 24, 2022 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 3 (2022) EDIT “I was about to give up on the series because it was feeling formulaic and thin. Then Fiona Shaw's Maarva and Stellan Skarsgard's Luthen Rael entered the story in episode three and the show finally came into its own.” – KPBS.org Sep 24, 2022 Full Review Andor: Season 1, Episode 4 (2022) EDIT “I am eager to see where Andor takes us and I hope it does not let me down.” – KPBS.org Sep 24, 2022 Full Review The Book of Boba Fett: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) EDIT “While [The Mandalorian] immediately hooked me with its mysterious but oddly honorable character, I am still scratching my head a bit about Boba Fett.” – KPBS.org Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Cursed Films: Season 1 (2020) 91% EDIT “I feel like maybe this could have made a compelling feature documentary with each of the profiled films being a short 10-minute segment and doing away with all the ridiculous side excursions that all the episodes I have seen so far take...” – KPBS.org May 1, 2020 Full Review What We Do in the Shadows: Season 2 (2020) 98% EDIT “The show is hilarious and its return is a most welcome gift for us sheltering at home where laughter is a highly prized commodity...” – KPBS.org Apr 20, 2020 Full Review What We Do in the Shadows: Season 1 (2019) 95% EDIT “The humor is still very dry and character-driven, and the show is simply delightful.” – KPBS.org Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Cobra Kai: Season 1 (2018) 100% EDIT “The main reason it succeeds is that all involved had a vision for why they wanted to revisit The Karate Kid more than three decades later.” – KPBS.org Apr 8, 2019 Full Review The Twilight Zone: Season 1 (2019) 70% EDIT “The Twilight Zone reboot has yet to dazzle me but it shows a respect and affection for the original that's encouraging along with a willingness to reinvent that's promising.” – KPBS.org Apr 8, 2019 Full Review
