Matthew Simpson
Matthew is a writer and podcaster based in Vancouver, Canada. A lifelong Trekkie, he has seen every episode of every series at least twice, which sounds like a lot until you realize he’s also watched The Office (US) all the way through seven times since 2020, and then it still sounds like a lot. He thinks that The Leftovers is the greatest show of the 21st century so far, that Star Wars has worn out its welcome, and that the single best thing The Simpsons has ever done was their rendition of The Raven. He podcasts about movies on the Awesome Friday Podcast and also writes for Exclaim.ca.

Eleanor the Great Review: An Excellent Showcase for June SquibbGrief is among the most challenging of human emotions.
