MR. AND MRS. SMITH SERIES REVIEW
Where does an early 2000’s successful rom com action blockbuster IP go after the credits roll and the hot leads would rather die than work together ever again? Why, to a streaming 8 episode series of course! Creators Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane bring you a very new take on Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Our two star-crossed lovers, played by Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, find themselves placed together by the deep cover super secret organization they work for. They are given the code names John and Jane Smith and pose as a married couple as their cover for performing espionage provided by a mysterious person on the other end of a text conversation that they call Hi Hi. As they work together the two learn more about each others pasts, what makes them tick, their pet peeves, their turn ons, their favorite kind of internet websites, and what dreams they have for the future. Can their hot chemistry survive the spy game, and who is it that’s giving the orders? Bradly, Harmoni, and Jordan discuss the abundance of wonderful guest stars and cameos present in this rom com drama caper, gush over the strong foot forward 2024 has provided, and discuss short series and a form of therapy for the love ones in your life.

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!
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.
