THE BROTHERS SUN SERIES REVIEW
Charles Sun (Justin Chien), the Jade Dragon’s number one assassin, is tasked to stop a rogue group of killers that threaten his family’s Taipei crime organization. He’s quick with his kicks and even faster with a knife but his true passion lies in not chopping faces of fiends but rather heads of lettuce. After an attempt on his father’s life, Charles flies to California to protect his estranged mother and reunite with his estranged brother. Bruce Sun (Sam Song Li). Bruce is a college kid living in LA who secretly longs to do improv comedy. Their mother, Eileen Mama Sun (Michelle Yeoh) to all appearances is a mild mannered mahjong player. The thing is, Bruce doesn’t know about his family’s elite criminal organization background. The now reunited group will come together to bring down their enemies and elevate each other as a family and individuals with hopes, dreams, and well choreographed fight scenes. Bradly, Harmony, and Kim review Netflix’s The Brothers Sun and discuss binge methods while enduring air travel, mixing violence and comedy in a successful way, and how sometimes what seems to be a predictable story can have some hard hitting chicanery.

YOUR REVIEWERS
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.
Harmoni Anderson (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Unstabletop Gaming)
Harmoni is a mermaid-haired, millennial, rum drinking, Section 31, Slytherin (who’s divorced J.K. Rowling) preschool/nursery teacher and multi genre geek who also loves all things film, tv, fashion, makeup, and an embarrassingly huge BTS stan. Like really embarrassing. As in, mention them and then sit back and watch the insanity. Harmoni likes being able to game and talk movies/TV with people that aren’t 3 feet tall or all that demanding of her. Plus she can curse at us and not get fired….so bonus!
Kimberly Brown (Highly Suspect Reviews)
Kimberly wants to live in a world filled with blue telephone boxes, speedsters, and ice dragons but through an ironic twist of fate, she’s stuck in this reality where these wondrous things only exist on page or film. Kim’s perpetual desire to consume sci-fi and fantasy media as a teen led her to the study of illustration/design at university to better understand its creation. Currently an Austin transplant, when she’s not wearing her critic hat you can find her pretending to like hiking, fielding questions about her hair or maybe even enjoying a local brew at the nearest dive bar.
