JURY DUTY PRESENTS: COMPANY RETREAT SERIES REVIEW
As part of our ongoing commitment to workplace synergy and content optimization, the One Of Us Screener Squad has asked Felix, Eoin, and T.C. to complete a comprehensive evaluation of this recent entry into the hidden camera comedy genre. This innovative offsite simulation places a group of employees into a fully immersive team-building experience, complete with trust exercises, morale-boosting activities, and escalating interpersonal dynamics. Key operational detail: all participants are trained performers… with the exception of one authentic stakeholder embedded within the exercise: Anthony Norman. Following the success of Season 1’s courtroom pilot program where one real participant navigated a fabricated legal environment, this second-phase rollout pivots to a corporate retreat model, expanding chaos metrics, increasing improv-based deliverables, and stress-testing authenticity under more “relatable” workplace conditions. The Screener Squad convened in the One Of Us yurt for a full-spectrum analysis, evaluating participant engagement, comedic ROI, and overall execution of the “one real human vs. total fiction” framework. And the Squad completes their assessment of Company Retreat with pitches for three subsequent *Jury Duty Presents* seasons.

Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
R.Felix Finch (Screener Squad)
A native of Sacramento, California, and having spent his post-pubescent years in Virginia, Nevada, Texas, and New York, Felix now finds himself pursuing his Juris Doctor at Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. Nothing is more calming to Felix than the comfort of Chaos, as his time in professional wrestling and on other podcasts has demonstrated, and Felix brings a love for the most absurd outings in the realms of cinema, finding his escape in things such as the overly complex world of Jupiter Ascending and perusing the unbelievably low-budget offerings of Tubi, which Felix is fully convinced is a Psi-Op. In addition to finding Felix here on OneOfUs.net, you can Check him out on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube sharing his life in Law School as “TheBrokeLawStudent.”
