RESIDENT ALIEN SERIES REVIEW
In the dead of night, a UFO crashes in a small town in Colorado and that same night, a doctor unexpectedly passes away. The good doctor’s replacement comes in contact with an alien who kills him and assumes his identity. This being from another world has no interest in phoning home; he’s in pursuit of a device which has the power to wipe out all mankind in the blink of an eye, and that is the end goal of his Earth mission. Unfortunately for him, that means he’ll have to spend time learning how to be more convincingly human and he’s not generally crazy about this lesser species who are smarter than pandas but not quite as intelligent as lizards. “Resident Alien”, based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, stars Alan Tudyk as the visitor from a distant galaxy, and Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees who has some earth-shaking secrets of her own. Bradly, Jordan, Harmoni, and Dogget discuss the brilliance of Alan Tudyk’s performance in this series and how that’s not exactly surprising when looking at everything else he’s done in his career.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Harmoni Anderson (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Unstabletop Gaming)
Harmoni is a mermaid-haired, millennial, rum drinking, Section 31, Slytherin (who’s divorced J.K. Rowling) preschool/nursery teacher and multi genre geek who also loves all things film, tv, fashion, makeup, and an embarrassingly huge BTS stan. Like really embarrassing. As in, mention them and then sit back and watch the insanity. Harmoni likes being able to game and talk movies/TV with people that aren’t 3 feet tall or all that demanding of her. Plus she can curse at us and not get fired….so bonus!
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.
