PARASYTE: THE GREY SERIES REVIEW
My skin is not my own! You know the quote, but how do you know it? It’s like the word Ewok; sometimes we just know stuff. Or perhaps the alien inside you shared the knowledge with you in a dream. Parasyte The Grey is a live-action Netflix miniseries adapted from the world of popular anime Parasyte the Maxim. Jeong (Jeon So-Nee) Is brutally attacked at a party only to wake up with fatal wounds healed and memory of the incident a hazy fog. During her assault you see that the invasion of earth was happening by lil wormy parasytes straight out of The Wrath of Khan. These creepy crawlies enter the human body through an open orifice and attach to the brain, erasing the consciousness of the host. Later they all plan to meet up and execute phase two. A special task force lead by Choi (Lee Jung-hyun) called The Grey, is tasked to stop this alien invasion and kill all invaders as indiscriminately as possible. Jeong, a human who’s maintained her consciousness with a parasyte living inside her called Heidi is caught in the middle of colonization vs survival, good vs evil, and freedom vs bureaucracy. Bradly, Dogget, and Matt discuss the success of Netflix niche anime adaptations, dubs of all languages with subtitles being a gateway into new kinds of storytelling from all around the globe, and the importance of the impactful season 1 cliffhanger.
CREATED BY: Yeon Sang-ho and Hitoshi Iwaaki
STARRING: Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, Kwon Hae-hyo, Kim In-kwon, Yoon Hyun-gil, Lee Hyun-kyun, Moon Ju-yeon, Masaki Suda
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.
Danny Dogget (Screener Squad)
Hey persons, it’s your favorite canine Dogget! As many of you know, I don’t identify as a critic as much as a classy shock jock. That being said, I do my best to give all of you a well-balanced review filled with my true opinions and hopefully a few laughs. You can occasionally find me on other persons podcast like Mission Impodible (that’ll be 10 dollars Nathan). For the most part, you can find me doing reviews on Oneofus.net.
Matt Foster (Screener Squad)
Matt Foster is a stand up comic, podcaster, and movie critic currently living in the greater Salt Lake City area. His lifelong love of genre film began early, when he realized they freaked out his mom. He performs (epidemics permitting) regularly on Dungeons and Comedy, a DND live play with standup comedians, and is the slightly less mustache-y half of the Nighthawks Podcast, a cinema-centric discussion cohosted by Trevor T. Trujillo.
