Mauri Hermundsson, known as Mustiga Mauri, is a Swedish YouTuber, journalist, and TV host, born on October 30, 1995, in Järna. His father is from Iceland, and his mother is from Germany. Though he added Mauri to his name at the age of seven, it is not his official first name in the population register. He started his career as a journalist at Expressen and Aftonbladet before launching his food-focused YouTube channel Uppdrag: Mat in 2018. The channel, run with photographer Filip Meneses and editor Hugo Johansson, quickly gained popularity. By October 2021, it had over 529,000 subscribers and 90 million views. His video featuring Bianca Ingrosso was one of Sweden’s most-watched in 2020, with 1.8 million views. In 2019, he was nominated for the Stora Journalistpriset in the Årets Förnyare category. Hermundsson’s influence grew, ranking eighth in Medieakademin’s Maktbarometern in 2021, with Uppdrag: Mat being the fourth-largest YouTube channel in Sweden that year. In 2022, it ranked fifth. Beyond YouTube, he transitioned to television, hosting Lego Masters Sverige in 2020 and launching his own TV4 show Mauri – Vad hände sen? in 2022, which was nominated for Årets Underhållningsprogram after its first season. He also hosted Aftonbladet’s humor series Noll kontroll (2022) and became a panelist on Bäst i test (2024). In April 2024, TV4 announced that he would be the sidekick to Pär Lernström for the 20th season of Idol, replacing Amie Bramme Sey. Since 2021, Hermundsson has also hosted the podcast Topp 1 i Sverige, where he interviews Sweden’s top experts in various fields.
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.
