KING OF THE HILL – SEASON 15 REVIEW
Dang ol’ new King of the Hill, man. Not just talkin’ about dang ol’ Hank bein’ back talkin’ about propane and propane accessories, talkin’ about new king as in Bobby Hill, man. Talkin’ ’bout season 15 on Hulu and Disney Plus, man. Last season, Hank and Peggy returned from Saudi Arabia to enjoy their golden years back in Arlen—closer to their son Bobby and their old friends. Season 15 shows us a new side to Hank and Peggy as they realize retirement isn’t so much about settling into a routine until the clock runs out, but rather sharing what you’ve learned on your path with those still walking that old dusty trail. This season also focuses on Bobby as the co-owner and head chef of his restaurant, along with his new on-again, off-again, back-on-again romance with Connie. You’ll see Bobby try his talents on a reality TV cooking show, operate a food truck with his dad at a sci-fi convention, and maintain his manners when Kahn and Minh openly disapprove of a “dumb redneck hillbilly” dating their daughter. Their words, not mine! Bradly, Mike, and Ryan meet up in the alley, crack open some cold ones, and shoot the breeze over another successful season of Mike Judge’s best show to date. But which one of the trio didn’t love it as much as the others? The answer may surprise you, I tell ya hwat!
CREATED BY: Mike Judge and Greg Daniels
STARRING: Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Tai Leclaire, Toby Huss, Ronny Chieng, Stephen Root, Ashley Gardner, Lauren Tom, Jonathan Joss
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.
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.
Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is an award-winning creative jack of all trades, and is pretty competent with most of them. He is a writer, director, animator, video editor, and motion graphics artist. He has tried his hand at nearly every form of artistic expression at least once. He was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania where he fell in love with film, writing and special effects at an early age. His obsession with film would lead him to being locally known as a “human IMDb” and being on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He would study film in Pittsburgh before taking his talents to Austin. Not letting something like Tourettes get in his way, he has produced a handful of animated short films that have won awards from film festivals all over the globe. He has also written several yet-to-be-produced screenplays and TV pilots, with some of them being recognized in screenwriting competitions. He has even created motion graphics and animations for several clients, from movie theaters to Twitch streamers. When not creating or watching films, he enjoys MST3K, classic video games and buying vinyl records. He loves dogs, dropping obscure pop culture trivia and watching travel videos. He currently resides in Austin Texas and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm. His body of work can be found at his homepage or you can take a gander at his somewhat-impressive IMDb listing here.
