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 join us down the Rabbit Hole on our new podcast. 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 Mr. Dude, and even Miss Manda. On with our dating questionnaire that involves some thought, introspection, quickfire responses, and a few other things our team can embellish.

I used to book local shows with my cousin for a few years and it was one of the best and most fun experiences in my life.

CONCLUSION
Why are you part of the MoviesMatrix.com team?
I was initially excited for the opportunity to showcase my ability to write but it turned into so much more than I ever could have imagined.
In addition to meeting all of the wonderfully talented voices and personalities on my MoviesMatrix squad, I now help edit the articles we publish. I am also helping host the official MoviesMatrix podcast: “Down The Rabbit Hole.” My experience so far has been so rewarding and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
