A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Matt McManus
Matt McManus is a multi-hyphenate creator. He's worked as talent, in development and as a writer with TBS, MTV, WWE and GSN. Matt's original humor got his 24-episode comedy series "McMayhem" voted "What to Watch on The Web" five times by USA Today. He was even one of ten finalists out of 3,000 comedians, on TBS' "Funniest Wins" hosted by Marlon Wayans, co-starring breakout megastar, Tiffany Haddish. Matt worked intimately as a writer and as talent on the WWE Network's "Swerved", produced by Jeff Tremaine, the creator of "Jackass". He currently hosts We The Project's podcast, "Role Call", interviewing some of the most innovative and interesting minds in the biz. He also hosts live events, such as The Producers Guild's 2019 Oscar Party, and The LEAP Foundation's annual fundraiser gala. He voiced four characters on an upcoming top-secret animated comedy show with Six Point Harness, as well he's the voice of a national deodorant brand. He's a RuPaul's Drag Race winner (seriously). He's fearless.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
