Lina McDonald
Editor-in-Chief
Lina McDonald was born with a sword in her hand and a weight on her foot. Cue a sixteen-year training montage, complete with exploding volcanoes, murderous sharks and a shirtless Brad Pitt. You want to add an oxford comma? Don’t even run—because you’re not getting away in time. Lina can outrun a bear. Make sure to breathe evenly: even asthma can give you away.
Milan Anderson
Staff Writer and Video Editor
The disembodied voice that shoots and edits the podcast. Dreams of spending hundreds of millions of dollars of other people's money. On a film, not in the fraud kinda way. Youtube feed filled with cars, tech, cameras, or the tech in cameras in cars. Knows the most about cars out of anyone who doesn't own one. Has connected to hotel wifis on 6 continents. Way too liberal.
Scout Crockett

Scout, formerly known as "La Exploradora Blanca," is a revolutionary writer and hardcore napper.

Single and ready to mingle, Scout enjoys picnics in the woods, thrifting, fajitas and Marvel movies.

Madelyn Walsh
Staff Writer
Walsh is a collector–a collector of cat figurines, existential crises and multiple identities. Always on the prowl for film inspiration, she brains up one havoc of a storm. Not even The Summit Pinnacle could contain this beast. Equipped with her left hand and her shoulder angel Donald Glover, she has tackled writing in a quest for a career, perchance. The fool who persists in his folly becomes the wise, and she is quite the persistent fool.
