CHAD POWERS SERIES REVIEW
Its the 4th quarter with the clock ticking and the game on the line in front of a sea of fans and that one person in the stands that matters more than anything. Lesser men would crumble under the pressure and the moment calls for a true hero. Unfortunately, that’s not Russ Holiday. Russ would showboat his victory-walk to legendary status, fumble the ball before the endzone, and cost his college football team the glory of champions. He would then crash out in such a way that even TMZ journalists would feel guilty reporting it. Hulu presents a 6 episode mini series based on the character created by real life NFL superbowl champion Eli Manning, Chad Powers. Years have passed since Russ made a mockery of the sport, himself, and the very idea of integrity as a whole. When the NCAA team Louisiana CatFish need a QB and are holding open try outs, Russ, with his fathers (Toby Huss) academy award winning make up kit, will create the young football freshman QB persona Chad Powers and enlist on the team to earn a redemption. Coach Jake Hudson (Steve Zahn) doesn’t seem to mind the awkward antics of Chad but Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) the coach’s daughter and fellow field coach suspects there might be something more to Powers. Brad, Felix, and Nate dissect the career of Glen Powell, the performances he’s put on in front of and behind the camera, and the performances we all play for others and ourselves while discussing this wacky comedic traumady.
CREATED BY: Glen Powell and Michael Waldron
STARRING: Glen Powell, Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, Frankie Rodriguez, Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Clayne Crawford, Colton Ryan, Keese Wilson, Xavier Mills, Haliey Welch, Eli Manning, Megan Ketch
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, 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 maybe even providing some comments of his own.
R.Felix Finch (Screener Squad)
A native of Sacramento, California, and having spent his post-pubescent years in Virginia, Nevada, Texas, and New York, Felix now finds himself pursuing his Juris Doctor at Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. Nothing is more calming to Felix than the comfort of Chaos, as his time in professional wrestling and on other podcasts has demonstrated, and Felix brings a love for the most absurd outings in the realms of cinema, finding his escape in things such as the overly complex world of Jupiter Ascending and perusing the unbelievably low-budget offerings of Tubi, which Felix is fully convinced is a Psi-Op. In addition to finding Felix here on OneOfUs.net, you can Check him out on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube sharing his life in Law School as “TheBrokeLawStudent.”
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
Nathan Flynn is the resident goofball of OneofUs.Net, often found overly caffeinated, slightly stoned, and ready to unleash the hottest takes imaginable. As the resident Letterboxd Lunatic, his movie opinions are as bold as his love for Top Gun: Maverick — a film he considers less of a movie and more of a religion. When he’s not passionately defending his latest cinematic obsession, Nathan manages a comedy club in downtown Austin, where he’s somehow avoided being heckled… so far. Around here, he’s usually the punching bag, but hey, someone’s gotta do it.
