In 6th grade, when Grae, aka Ms. Moviefone, was arranging movie outings for all her friends, she picked the movie. Through the years studying film at the University of Texas at Austin, being honored by Sundance and the Director's Guild of America, and working as a filmmaker in Los Angeles, she realized how terrible she was at keeping her opinions to herself. The Popcorn Mafia podcast was born, and led to her becoming CNN's movie critic, as well as the Senior Editor of Rotten Tomatoes for several years. She also has dished the dirt with stars on HLN's Weekend Express, ABC World News Now, The Today Show, The View, and Fox News. Her passionate thoughts can also be heard on terrestrial radio all over North America. And just to note, she still won't let other people pick the movies. Credits Include...
