STRANGE HARVEST MOVIE REVIEW
When it comes to successful harvesting, all you need is a strong work ethic, a team of farmers dedicated to the crop, and a handful of teachers with patience to cultivate the next generation of harvesters. This is community, this is life. Every once in a while though that community turns into a Wicker Man situation. Ritual replaces hard work and the rain is replaced by horrific acts of violence. Writer-director Stuart Ortiz presents Strange Harvest. The community of farmers in our allegory today will be played by a single serial killer referred to as Mr. Shiny (Jessee J. Clarkson) and the crop? The innocent souls of Southern California. Det. Joe Kirby (Peter Zizzo) and Det. Alexis ‘Lexi’ Taylor (Terri Apple) are our talking head narrators in this docu-style series pulling us through the maze of murders perpetrated by the illusive killer, his manifesto of madness, and the strange triangular symbol found at every crime scene. Heebie-Jeebies check? More checked than the king in the hands of an amateur in a game of chess against a master. To further the mixed metaphors, Mr. Shiny is always three steps ahead. Bradly, Kate, and Lewayne are back on that summer horror binge conjuring up a review for the ages, leaving a breadcrumb trail of clues leading up to their final thoughts that will tear the mystery wide open. Listen if you dare.

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.
Kate Chambers (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Kate is a certified horror fiend and Horse Girl™. Her name isn’t short for anything. A native Austinite, she graduated with a BFA in Film Production from the University of Colorado Boulder then returned to the Lone Star State to make her home amid the cinephiles of the Alamo Drafthouse and the Austin Film Society. In her spare time, you can find her either down at the barn with her noble steed Jazz, watching as many movies as possible (often at work), cuddling with her pair of black cats and writing horror scripts, or nursing a beer in any available body of water… or doing Duolingo, where she’s currently on a 1000+ day streak.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
