Chris Stuckmann was born (April 15, 1988) in Akron, OH. He developed a love of movies early on through films like Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), Back to the Future (1985) and The Princess Bride (1987). As he got older, his love of film led him to purchase a video camera and try his hand at making movies of his own. Throughout his teenage years, he and his friends made hundreds of short films, and two feature length movies. Chris has said he considers that one of the best times of his life, and a major learning experience for him.
Eventually, YouTube was introduced in 2005, and Chris saw this as a great opportunity to share his films with others. Up until then, he was only able to share them with close friends and family. First, he launched a channel for his short films, hoping to share them with the world, and later, a speed drawing channel featuring realism and manga style drawings. But it was his "Chris Stuckmann" channel that launched him into a successful career in film criticism. As of 2017, Chris has surpassed 1 million subscribers.
Chris still directs short films with local talent in Cleveland, OH, and many of his films have screened at film festivals around the country. He has said that his goal is to have fun creating art, and to share his passion with others. He isn't a fan of fame, and views himself as a regular guy who simply loves movies.- Editor

Doug Walker was born in Naples, Italy; and because his father was in the Navy, lived in many different places across the United States when he was growing up. He went on to study film at Northern Illinois University, majoring in communications.
After college, he worked as an illustrator and started making YouTube videos for fun. He first grabbed viewers' attention with clever 5 second movie versions of popular films, and gained more notoriety with his snarky "Nostalgia Critic" reviews.
In 2008, "Nostalgia Critic" moved from YouTube to the independent site That Guy With the Glasses and Channel Awesome. By 2009, an increased income from advertising on the new site allowed Walker to quit his day job (a video that he made to commemorate the occasion also went viral) and develop his web persona full-time.- Actor

Phelan Porteous is a Canadian guy who makes funny videos on the Internet. His claims to fame are his reviews of really bad horror movies and Disneyesque mockbusters, both B-grade and big-budget, and Mortal Komedy, a parody of the Mortal Kombat series. He's also well-known for being a Meta Guy who mocks the hell out of poorly-used tropes, as well as his unique delivery which involves lots of deadpanning with occasional bits of hamminess. He also used to die a lot in his reviews, but that gag's (mostly) been retired.
His main review show used to have no official name (a fact that was lamp-shaded within the series itself), but it's since been dubbed "Phelous and the Movies" after a seemingly-random title given to the show on IMDB. The show was also referred to as "Phelous Who" for a short time and given an accompanying title sequence, likely because of all the shout-outs to said series present in his videos. The title sequence has since been retired, with the explanation given that he wanted to make better use of the title cards drawn for his episodes. He also has a couple of other video series: Bootleg Zones, which focuses on bootleg and knockoff toys and video games of varying quality (and its spin-off, Miraculous Merchandise Zone, which looks at official products); Halloweenie, a low-budget public access show with an odd skeleton man who looks at Halloween-related items and topics; and episode-by-episode reviews of Mortal Kombat: Conquest, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.
On January 12, 2015, Phelan announced that he was leaving Channel Awesome. He had been with the site since December 2008.
On June 19, 2020, Phelous uploaded a video called "Beauty and the Beast (Dingo Pictures). Rather than a review, it is an original animated video, retelling the Beauty and the Beast story while making fun of Dingo Pictures. Since this video is a massive break from Phelous' other videos and has its own self-contained story.
A frequent collaborator with his wife Allison Pregler, and the two often appear in each other's videos.- Writer
