Pete

Screwing the pooch and selling the puppies since 1977!
What’s to be said about the newest member to the SNMR crew? (yes, we know Tracy is newer, but come on... she’s a good looking dame! They get to by-pass all this hierarchy shit) He is one honest mo-fo who loves his cinema! Seriously this boy gives Steve and Matt (ok, just Matt) a run for his movie quote knowledge money. But we are getting ahead of ourselves...
Pete came into our lives under the most mysterious circumstances. Sure Matt knew him from when they both worked in the MTV control room. And they had gone out to pick up women while hammered from time to time. And ok… they may have allegedly been responsible for the e.coli-infected Taco Bell tragedy of 2006 (who could have known that sneezing on raw chicken then not bothering to cook it would have such adverse effects). But none of the thing they (may) have done even come close to those things they (may) have NOT done.
Pete never reviewed a movie before, and Matt saw this as a golden opportunity to train a protégé from a blank canvas. See Matt refuses to have children to carry on his long line of reviewers (he says it takes to long). Cloning was out of the question because lets face it, all the money that would cost could buy DVD’s. So Pete was brought into the fold to be made into Matt’s boisterously nonsensical image. Since baptism in the fires of film critique have always been the SNMR way, Matt threw Pete headfirst into the review for The Departed. After the smoke had cleared, and all the dead hookers had been swept away, it was painfully obvious that Pete, while still a n00b, would be no ones carbon copy.
He had his own opinions, views, and secret spilling abilities that Matt initially found unsatisfactory. And since Matt never over-reacts to anything, the obvious choice was to have Bones off the fresh reviewer.
Luckily, the night before the order was to be given, Erin and Matt got really shit faced, and instead of ordering Bones to “Kill Pete,” he commissioned his hit man to “Buy Pete a puppy”.
The puppy’s name is Sir Woofsalot. He and Pete are now best friends
