Host
By day, Georgia Macey is a project manager at a vitamin manufacturer, but by night (and by weekends), she is an avid reader—especially of horror, mystery, and thriller fiction—and a sporadic writer—currently working actively on both a literary horror novel and a cozy mystery series. Georgia has a master’s degree in English literature with a concentration in Shakespeare, teaching Shakespeare for Actors in Los Angeles, and has worn many other hats in entertainment, in acting, dramaturgy, stage management, directing, and now podcasting. She has performed stand-up comedy at Funny Women Fest LA and contributed two essays to the 2014 book World Film Locations: Toronto, on Frequency and The Skulls. Georgia also enjoys singing and playing guitar; the little riff at the beginning of the podcast is her work, but she promises she knows at least two other chords. Georgia’s most viewed movies of all time are The Princess Bride and Clue, and she may be watching one of them again right now.

Since he was a kid, John Macey has been a voracious film viewer. His movie trivia knowledge is encyclopedic, and he loves nothing more than talking movies with anyone and everyone he meets. The only thing that John loves more than talking about movies is being in movies, and you can catch him as Kyle in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon now streaming on Paramount+.
