THE AUDACITY SERIES REVIEW
Matt Damon once said “Fortune favors the brave” in an ad campaign for a crypto currency exchange. A very cynical outlook on this global phenomenon would be that the tech industry has a lotta nerve taking advantage of celebrities with more money than they know what to do with. The Audacity is an AMC Plus streaming show about a wannabe tech titan with all the time and money in the world and no shame. Duncan (Billy Magnussen) is having a no good very bad day. The ethics and morals of his colleagues, family, and board partners are stifling his genius from changing the world. But like Jesus, opportunity knocks from time to time. It’s up to you to have the courage to let him in. Did I say Jesus? I meant, the Devil. Duncan has discovered that his personal therapist, Joanne (Sarah Goldberg), has several wealthy high profile clients who have shared very useful information that someone like Duncan could use to gain advantages in business. Blackmail and comedy ensues. Bradly and Eoin duo up and discuss the cruelty of the tech brah world as well as the underhanded culture of silicon valley in this absurdist satire of men who would monetize everything.

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.
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.
