Screener Squad: The Paper

THE PAPER SERIES REVIEW

What are some things you can use the newspaper for? Paper mache for a float or some kind of school art project. Catching droppings at the bottom of your bird cage. A prop for a costume at halloween or a play. However it may surprise you to learn that in the before times, in the long long ago. newspapers were used to spread information about your local town, city, county, or province. Also in the past there was a popular sitcom called The Office that ran from 2005 to 2013 about a paper company called Dunder Mifflin. Now, that insanely popular show has a spin-off run by Greg Daniels who also made that show: The Paper. Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson) is the new editor in chief of the Toledo Truth Teller. He plans to crack down on clickbait articles and inspire his employees to be the dignified reporters his local town and the world so desperately need. Esmeralda Grand (Sabrina Impacciatore) the former boss of the paper feels that her position is being usurped and plans to get back at Ned for this injustice through gossip, misleading news stories, and all around wacky sitcom hijinks. The show hopes to pick up the pieces of it’s progenitor series and carry it into the future. Bradly, Kim, and Ryan put on their press hats and break the news on the success and failings of cringe comedy, office romance, and who they would and would not want to meet in a dark alley.

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.

 

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.

 

Ryan Aleck Hill (Screener Squad, Video and Audio Editor)

Ryan is a Washington D.C. based filmmaker & video editor who loves watching and talking about movies more than just about anything. He currently works at a creative agency as a director of photography/video editor, and does freelance video editing for Anthony Fantano/TheNeedleDrop. He also has a YouTube channel (Downhill Media) where he works on a weirdo art explainer series called “Artsplained” with his partner Michelle. He was a part of the Spill.com community way back in the day, where he was cursed with an obsession for movies. In an effort to break the curse, he shows up on the Screener Squad podcast every once in a while and edits for One Of Us. Chris Cox claims that this is the only way it can be broken. You can follow him on Twitter but you’ll probably regret it.
