BELOW SERIES REVIEW
On an island in Canada called Newfoundland, winters are hard, but the people are harder. With rod and sail, they mastered the elements and found wealth in the Cod. Back in the 80’s, the Penney family was relocating their home from harbour to harbour, when the sea took their house and their father, leaving siblings Calvin and Ruth orphaned. 40 years later, the two are doing the best they can on the island, preparing festivities for the tourists. Calvin (Josh Hartnett) with a heart full of joy is excited to see his adult children again and pitch the idea to start up the Penney fishing business again. Alas, what destroyed the family 40 years ago has returned, and it’s not your run of the mill weather disaster….it’s something else that has come from beneath the waves. It’s ice, ocean, submerged horrors, and a whole mess of attractive actors in the Netflix miniseries Below. Bradly, Drew, and Lewayne get together and cast their lines into the sea of ideas that make up Below. Which are great catches and which would the crew throw back? Sit round the fire and have a listen to their tale and be changed forever more.

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.
Drew Tinnin (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Deliberations of Doom)
Drew Tinnin is a Rondo Award nominated interviewer and critic who has worked at SiriusXM’s Fangoria Radio and Fangoria magazine in NYC, as well as the London-based Dazed Digital. Currently a regular contributor to the Dread Central Network, he’s excited to join up with some old friends and other film fans on One of Us as a new contributor to Screener Squad.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
