Liam would like to begin by stating that anybody who has a cigar in their profile picture is a tool, and nothing they say should be taken seriously. With that out of the way, Liam is a stage director, actor, and playwright, as well as a lifelong cinephile with a preternatural inability to keep an opinion to himself. He is evangelical in his defense of the Oxford comma and the proper use of the word "myriad." Like everyone from Pittsburgh, it is very important to Liam that you know he is from Pittsburgh, where he lives with his wife, three children, three cats, and a rescued pitbull named Blondie.
Liam also hosts Fright Pub, a show where friends enjoy their favorite alcoholic beverages (always good) while reviewing horror movies (sometimes good).
Liam Macik has hosted 61 Episodes.
