Screener Squad: Secret Invasion

Secret Invasion Series Review

SECRET INVASION SERIES REVIEW

Back in the time of Blockbuster Videos and grunge rock, a young Nick Fury teamed up with a woman from outer space and together they would thwart the evil efforts of the Kree and stop the genocide of the peaceful, shape-shifting, extra terrestrials known as Skrulls. Thirty years later, branches of the US government with highly classified information have exposed the conspiracy that these aliens do in fact exist and walk among us! But enough about the July 26, 2023 UFO hearing (EDITOR: The hearing in question is much ado about nothing, or once again, no proof). Disney Plus is proud to present the ongoing MCU series Secret Invasion starring Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury. Fury has returned to earth to deal with the Skrull invasion. His Skrull friend Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) has a daughter now named G’iah (Emilia Clarke) who has taken a liking to following an angry no nonsense Skrull named Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir). Nick Fury in the 90’s along with Carol Danvers had promised the wayward Skrulls that if they fought to protect earth, then he and Carol would fight to find them a new planet. No planet has been found and Gravik is tired of waiting. Through global threats and espionage he plans to lure Fury into a confrontation and monologue his plan of world domination. Fury with the help of Talos, an MI6 agent named Sonya Falsworth (Olivia Colman), and love interest Priscilla (Charlayne Woodard) will come together to see through the lies and discover the truth behind the Secret Invasion. Bradly, Jordan, and Sarah Jane put on their tin foil hats and discuss the comic this is based upon, marvel at the chewing of scenery by the A list cast, and confirm through Rhodey (Don Cheadle) dialogue that the WWE is in fact Marvel Canon.

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)

Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.

 

 

Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)

Born with a comic book in one hand, a camera in the other, and in front of the television as WrestleMania played out, Jordan Worth Cobb was thus birthed into this crazy world. A Digital Filmmaking major from the University of Central Arkansas, Jordan has done it all in film from directing, writing, editing, and producing in addition to skills involved in film and TV criticism, journalism, and years of podcasting experience. On any given day, her ADHD riddled brain bounces focus from film to pro wrestling to TV to superheroes to noir to video games to espionage and yes, even to sports. She played little league you know. For more of this eccentric nerd, you can follow her on Twitter here and read her original writings on Deepest Corners of My Notebook.

 

 

Sarah Jane (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)

Sarah Jane was born and raised in Southern California but currently calls Austin, TX her home. She’s seen over 5,700 movies so far with zero plans on stopping. She has a penchant for all things exploitation, and she loves Godzilla with all her heart. Her favorite films are Deep Red, Le Samourai, and Miller’s Crossing. When she isn’t watching movies, she’s busy herding her four cats, her husband, and her 11-year-old kiddo. She’s been a contributor to TalkFilmSociety, Daily Grindhouse, FThisMovie!, Looper, and the Austin Chronicle. You can find her on Twitter and Letterboxd at @fookthis.
