BAIT SERIES REVIEW
Tomorrow Never Dies at the James Bond Rumour mill and with Amazon pulling the strings, The World is Not Enough. It’ll take a real GoldenEye casting director to pick the next actor to be On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Comment sections are being real Dr. No about all suggestions stepping away from the milquetoast generic white Brit. A Bond with a darker complexion? Never Say Never Again. Amazon Prime Video presents a show created by and starring Riz Ahmed as Shah Latif’s. He’s an actor whose career will have to Die Another Day because after leaving a Bond audition with style and swagger, the paparazzi swarm and perpetuate the idea that this young Pakistan actor will be the next 007. But double oh no, his life and family ties are in Skyfall as Shah juggles his day to day life with the web throwing his existence under a microscope. Everyone one with an iphone might as well have A License to Kill because when it comes to the consumer culture capitalist hellscape we’ve all participated in creating, privacy is a myth and The World is Not Enough. Bradly, Frank, and Eoin present the Spectre of Bond’s past and how The Spy Who Loved Me From Russia with Love fit into their cinematic experiences from yesteryear. They praise the creative and demiurgic mind of Riz Ahmed who creates a labyrinth of ideas from the casting process of a culture icon. Also, Quantum of Solace.

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.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, Hollywood Royalty)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
