If you follow us at MoviesMatrix.com, you are familiar with crawling inside the Matrix to read our welcome note, subscribe to our news, and learn about our team.
Continue to challenge us, chat with us, and come see us on video. We have much more coming in the near future because it’s not like we don’t have a lot of time on our damn hands. (Thanks Corona!)
Lately, we have been adding to our special #NerdHerd inside the Matrix, so we feel every once in a while, it would be important to introduce you to our entire team. From writers to gamers, bloggers to vloggers, we’re trying to come at the Geckaphile Globe in anyway possible.
So, be on the lookout for these “Inside the Matrix” posts. We’ll get to everyone, eventually. (And, not for nothing, we are still looking to recruit more of the aforementioned nerd herd. If you are a cinephile or geckaphile, or both, drop us a line from the website. We’d love to hear from you.)
You have already met Mr. Crockpot. And now, on with our dating questionnaire that involves some thought, introspection, quickfire responses, and a few other things our team can embellish.
Here is Mr. Dude…
Inside The Matrix: @MRDude_7
Inside the Matrix: Who are you?
IRL: Owen
Explain Your Twitter Handle:
- My handle is just a dumb name I came up with on the spot. Not a fan of it, but I’m horrible at coming up with names.
- I chose my banner because it’s colorful, retro, and kinda encapsulates what my profile is about: entertainment.
- The most important thing to me in my bio is “positivity”. Believe it or not, that’s why I joined Twitter. Everything is so negative and bad out there. I just want to make someone’s day just a little bit brighter.
Birthdate: July 4 (yes, really.)
Home: The Steel City
Status: College-bound (and destined to be broke for the foreseeable future)

Best Book/Comic/Graphic Novel You’ve Ever Read: “Misery” by Stephen King.
What do you collect? Blu-Ray DVDs (Hey, it’s something.)
Poof. You’re a Superhero… Spider-Man. He’s just a normal kid who lives this amazing other life (pun-intended). Also, swinging from webs seems like so much fun.
What is your favorite movie quote?
Believe it or not, I… hardly ever watch TV. Therefore, I spend my life writing stories, working on other stories, or playing video games.
Famous People You Have Actually Met: My uncle is Rick Witkowski, guitarist for ’70s prog-rock band ‘Crack the Sky‘ (that’s him, second from left). Rolling Stone has even covered them so I would say he’s pretty famous.
Coolest Thing You’ve Ever Done: Gone tubing attached to the back of a boat… I haven’t done that much cool stuff yet, I’m young, kapeesh?
Stray Pet Peeves:
- Bending books too far back and creasing the spine (I cringe every time I see it)
- Listening, watching, or doing anything Christmas-y before at least November 1 is just wrong
- Being addicted to phones or TV because where’s the fun in that?

- Messages
- YouTube (can’t live without it)
- News
- Music
I Once Got Detention For… checking my grades on my phone during school. Yes, really. I swear I’m not that much of a nerd. I needed to know and my teacher didn’t seem to agree.
What is your favorite item you’ve bought during the Coronavirus? An Apple Watch. Technically I didn’t buy it, it was a birthday gift, but I love it. It tracks my activity, my workouts, plays music through my AirPods, and even reminds me to breathe (yes, literally), it’s awesome.
The zombie apocalypse is coming, what three people (hero or villain) do you want on your team?
- Superman (duh!)
- Ultron
- Flash

From unpopular opinions to introspective thinking, I enjoy making posts that force people to see things in a different — sometimes, not-so-friendly — perspective. And, I stand behind every word.
