The Fellas:
Kyle
Some say Kyle is p cool.
Most don’t.
Shaun
Much like the phoenix he adopted for his multiplayer persona, you just can’t keep Shaun down. Whether it be a giant rat infestation, a car that never works or being forced to watch the Lord of the Rings extended editions he meets all obstacles with a smile and a joke. He created the Nerdy Thursday podcast and operated dutifully until Kyle reached out asking for his assistance with Experience Grind and just like Shaun and the Phoenix, you haven’t heard the last of Nerdy Thursday He wears his heart on his sleeve and it’s a pretty big heart! If Shaun likes something, you’ll know it. If Shaun hates something, YOU’LL know it.

Ryan
Ryan was the original host for Experience Grind but took an extended leave of absence to, as he puts it, “Take care of something.” We don’t like to ask what that “something” was because when you do his one good eye gets glassed over as he stares into his damaged memories and only mutters under his breath “Time warps…” and “the ultimate evil…” before regaining his senses and melting something with his laser eye. Oh yea, he has a laser eye now. …and a cyborg arm.

Dave
Dave is a natural speaker and the apex of consummate host. The man loves film, and he is passionate about it! He brings a knowledge, insight and jaded disdain that only years working behind the scenes of the film industry can forge. He started The Caped Podcasters with Bryan before transitioning it into Beer Me A Movie. He brings knowledge, drive and dedication to the group as well as a grasp of marketing that would make Don Draper blush.
Fun Dave fact: He is the exact PERFECT height to play Spider-Man on the big screen.

Bryan
If you ask anyone on the entire planet who is the nicest person they have ever met. The unanimous answer the world over is Bryan. With that niceness comes a brutal honesty that is somehow never hurtful but always truthful, a skill honed over years of co-hosting with Dave and his famous temper. Did you know that the scene at the end of Spartacus where everyone stands up to proclaim that they are Spartacus was actually based on the real-life exploits of Bryan during the Roman empire? Oh yea, did we mention he’s immortal?
