TOMB RAIDER: THE LEGEND OF LARA CROFT SERIES REVIEW
Back in 1996, Core Design released a Playstation game that since has spawned 18 sequels across dozens of consoles and PC, mobile games, and even themed Pachinko machines! In the early 2000’s, Paramount produced two Tomb Raider films starring the Oscar winning box office sensation Angelina Jolie (Ron Howard: They were not giant hits). In 2018 Warner Brothers produced a rebooted Tomb Raider film starring the Oscar winning box office sensation Alicia Vikander (Ron Howard: It was not a hit). Finally after over 25 years of global (but not theatrical) success. Lara Croft is getting the presentation and treatment she deserves, an animated series produced by Legendary Entertainment and brought to you by Netflix. Lara Croft (voiced by Hayley Atwell) has decided to end her raiding of tombs and auction off all the trophies, trinkets, and artifacts she’s raided over the course of her adventures. Charles Devereaux (Richard Armitage), not one for bidding, decides to attack and steal a very specific item from Lara’s stash: the stone peril. Legends say that whoever possesses the four stones of peril will obtain the power to decide the fate of the entire world. Lara and friends embark on a globe trotting, temple trespassing, history learning, and culture appropriating adventure. Bradly, Jordan, and Dogget discuss their own personal history of Lara Croft’s quest, from polygons to live action to animation. While Dogget and Bradly point the fingers and accuse several characters of having dark hearts and evil intentions, the Tomb Raider of One of us (Jordan) fills the boys in on previous game plots and their rogues gallery. From dealing with supernatural forces to pissed off animals, Lara is duel wielding pistols and taking names. Will a dinosaur show up? The answer is just a quick Netflix binge away.

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.
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.
