HEELS SEASON 2 REVIEW
From September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001 Vince McMahon of the WWF waged a ratings battle with WCW’s Eric Bischof. Shady deals, empty hand shakes, and underhanded tactics were used by both companies in an all out brawl to be the world’s number one league in wrestling entertainment. The ongoing conflict was referred to as The Monday Night Wars. Incidentally, Vince and Eric’s epic temper tantrum has echoed into show creator Michael Waldron’s Heels season 2 on Starz. Jack Spade (Stephen Amell) has just come off the DWL’s biggest event resulting in Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig) humiliated, Crystal Tyler (Kelli Berglund) the new DWL champion, and Wild Bill Hancock (Chris Bauer) fetal positioned in his own feces. Rival wrestling league Dystopia promoter Charlie Gully (Mike O’Malley) would love nothing more than for the DWL to slowly fade away and die but sees an opportunity for elevated profits in a possible collaboration with the DWL. Jack will have to set his ego aside to help himself by helping his enemy. Ace will need to wrestle the demons of his past to triumph as the face of the future, and Crystal will have to step out of the shadows of being a valet to become her own woman in the squared circle. Bradly, Jordan, Neil, and Rae are at ring side with wrestling facts, easter eggs, and surprising twists. If you miss out on this review you better be living under a rock or incarcerated. If you’re incarcerated? Break out of that cage and plug in to Heels season 2!

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.
Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)
Born with a comic book in one hand, a camera in the other, and in front of the television as WrestleMania played out, Jordan Worth Cobb was thus birthed into this crazy world. A Digital Filmmaking major from the University of Central Arkansas, Jordan has done it all in film from directing, writing, editing, and producing in addition to skills involved in film and TV criticism, journalism, and years of podcasting experience. On any given day, her ADHD riddled brain bounces focus from film to pro wrestling to TV to superheroes to noir to video games to espionage and yes, even to sports. She played little league you know. For more of this eccentric nerd, you can follow her on Twitter here and read her original writings on Deepest Corners of My Notebook.
Lyrae Anderson (Screener Squad)
You can call me Rae. You can also call me a film lover. I’ll watch it all — small screen; big screen, and everything in between. I have attended and worked for Fantastic Fest and South by Southwest for many years. I married a film geek as well. While we don’t agree on everything, we agree on our love of movies.
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.
