Biography
The youngest of three, Korey Coleman grew up loving animation and eventually got into University of Texas hoping to major in film making, but eventually dropped out. While there, however he met fellow artist and future co-host, Martin Thomas who took an interest in his comic strip Eddie the Albino Squirrel.
Years later, Korey started a cable access series called The Reel Deal. The show reunited him with Martin and also brought on fellow reviewers Chris Cox, C. Robert Cargill and Tony Guerrero. During this time, Korey had directed and starred in a movie called 2 A.M. as a way of expanding his film making capabilities. Korey grew bored of doing an access show and figured the next step would be to expand on a wider level. Taking the preexisting audio from their reviews, Korey animated over them for comical effect. Cox had posted the videos online where they were seen by Hollywood.com. After meeting the heads of the site, Korey formed Spill.com. The site ran from 2007 to 2013 with Saving Mr. Banks being their final review. Cox left to start OneofUs.net, Cargill continued his career as a screenwriter and Tony retired from podcasting. The character of Co-Host 3000 is owned by Hollywood.com.
Korey decided to start a Kickstarter in launching a new site.The initial goal was $30,000, but by the end they earned $133,860. From there, DoubleToasted was created.
