PLATONIC SERIES REVIEW
Two childhood best friends rekindle their camaraderie while juggling suburbia, bar ownership, relationships, and middle age. Did I mention that these two BFF’s are a man and a woman!? Apple TV presents Platonic, starring Rose Byrne as Sylvia and Seth Rogen as Will. For the past 15 years, Sylvia has put her attorney ambitions on hold and focused on raising 3 children while husband Charlie (Luke Macfarlane) has been focusing on breadwinning and making partner. Will hasn’t spoken to Sylvia since his marriage to Audrey (Alisha Wainwright) who Sylvia said was all wrong for Will. When Sylvia discovers that Will is recently divorced and with the blessing of her husband Charlie, she sets out to befriend her once ride-or-die buddy once again. Sylvia looks to help Will with a divorce party and by encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone of bar ownership, while Will attempts to resurrect the bad-ass party girl from the routine of being a boring suburban Mom. Bradly, Dogget, and Neil discuss the 10 episode series and all the positive and negative things it has to say about platonic relationships and friendship in general, where they stand on the spectrum of friendship in their own adult lives, and if once again Rogan and Byrne have caught comedy lighting in a bottle.
CREATED BY: Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller
STARRING: Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen, Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale, Andrew Lopez, Carla Gallo, Alisha Wainwright, Vinny Thomas, Francesca Delbanco, Guy Branum, Janet Varney, Emily Kimball, Rachel Rosenbloom
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, 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 Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Danny Dogget (Screener Squad)
Hey persons, it’s your favorite canine Dogget! As many of you know, I don’t identify as a critic as much as a classy shock jock. That being said, I do my best to give all of you a well-balanced review filled with my true opinions and hopefully a few laughs. You can occasionally find me on other persons podcast like Mission Impodible (that’ll be 10 dollars Nathan). For the most part, you can find me doing reviews on Oneofus.net.
Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
