UNDERCARD MOVIE REVIEW
There are several ways to explain it but this obscure quote might help: “He who conquers the left side conquers the world, chief”. What does it mean? Work your jab. In theaters and featuring the Florida boxing locations of Liberty City and Miami, Undercard is led by Wanda Sykes in her first dramatic role. Sykes plays Cheryl ‘No Mercy’ Stewart who is a boxing coach at Baba T’s (William Stanford Davis) gym. She has a young prospect she’s training named Kordell (Xavier Mills) that could be a world champion one day. She is also reaching out to a young man from her past, Keith (Bentley Green) who could really use a wise trainer in his corner. Also, Keith was the child she left with her mother when drugs, alcohol, and a mess of bad choices had her down for the count. Keith is starting to take some steps to a path of violence, hustling, and dealing. Cheryl, now fully sober and sponsored, wants to show him how the talent he carries in his hands and the tenacity and perseverance he carries in his heart could lead him to a championship in the world of boxing. Bradly, Felix, and Caroline square up and unanimously agree that Bentley Green provides a star-turning performance in a plot-heavy standard sports film with more heart than brain. Also Felix explains the ins and outs of how the real sweet science of boxing translates to film.

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.”
Caroline Sulek
Caroline Sulek resides in Mckinney, TX with her son Henry and two cats: Sally and Rocky. As a mom, corporate baddie, and unabashed lover of all things silly, spooky, and creative, she brings a unique perspective to the One of Us network. Her love of art and movies started long ago when she and her brother, Wright, would spend entire summer vacations in front of the TV and she would draw portraits of Wright as he sat watching for hours. Caroline has been a frequent guest and fan favorite of the Trash in the Can podcast with her brother, Wright, and his life podcast partner, Eric Samaniego. Caroline enjoys the most gruesome of horror movies and the most bingeable of reality shows and anywhere in between!
