Screener Squad: Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed

MAXIMUM PLEASURE GUARANTEED SERIES REVIEW

Camboy (plural camboys): noun – A man who publishes webcam photographs or videos of himself. Apple Plus presents a series starring former She-Hulk Tatiana Maslany as Paula. She’s a single mother with a laptop and private relationship with a camboy named Trevor. Paula doesn’t seem like the type. She has an outstanding relationship with her elementary school daughter Hazel (Nola Wallace). She’s fun, yet a voice of discipline. She’s spontaneous yet very aware of Hazel’s schedule. She’s respectful (mostly) and cordial to her ex-husband Karl (Jake Johnson) and his new wife Mallory (Jessy Hodges). Unfortunately for Paula, no matter how much she shines as a single mother and career gal, Karl and Mallory want full custody and to move to Idaho, taking Hazel with them. Paula is absolutely not going to let that happen and is preparing for the court date to make her case. She’s got nothing to worry about… except the camboy she has been seeing has been beat up, abducted, and is blowing up Paula’s phone with texts and voicemails asking her to send money now or the abductors will kill him. No matter who you are or where you come from, being tied to such a scandal does not look good when read back by the court stenographer. Bradly, Eoin, and Dom discuss the inner workings of sex work on the internet, the deep dive conspiracy that pulls Paula into its clutches, and how effective a web-based detective thriller works as a series.

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.

 

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.

 

Dominic Rizzi (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)

Born and raised in the Hudson Valley, NY, Dom “the Movie Nerd” Rizzi fell in love with film at a young age. After majoring in film in both community college and achieving a Bachelor’s degree in film from SUNY Oswego, Dom went on to start his own podcast Talkin’ TV during Covid before studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. Relentlessly passionate about everything related to film, Dom has shot and produced several short films, as well as having written several scripts. Working at a liquor store by day, Dom has continued to pursue his passion for cinema in any capacity he can, because to follow his dreams, in the words of Shia LaBeouf pre-descent into insanity, “just do it.”
