Matt Verlaque
Co-Host of Criticless Cast Unhinged
Matt Verlaque, also known as Spicy Meatball, is sassy AF and loves to rebel against main stream opinion even though he indulges in all things stereotypical such as plaid, beards, and craft beer. Want an excellent guide to the local beer scene? Say no more fam. He also enjoys Michael Bay, Wes Anderson, and Guillermo Del Toro. Based on that line up, you could say he’s a jack of all trades.
