Team Startefacts

I'm no Aja Romano, but I try.

Marvel, Supernatural, Star Trek, and everything fandom-related in between. If it's worth reading, watching, or listening to — I'm on it, and telling you about it.

I've been at Startefacts since the actual beginning back in 2022.

One of my early assignments was covering CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where I sat in a dark hall geeking out over Doctor Strange footage and thought: God, this is a dream job for me.

Well, turns out — not THE dream job, per se. Entertainment journalism is hard, harder than ever in 2026, with AI threatening your integrity and your work ethic at every turn. But hey: I still try. I love what I do, and I love writing about the MCU, however shitty their movies have gotten over the last few years. I'm still in my chair in a movie theater when a new Nolan movie comes out, or a Guy Ritchie movie, or frankly any Statham movie.

What I cover: the MCU and superhero cinema, long-running genre TV (Supernatural, Star Trek, and their fandoms), fan culture and how it shapes what gets made, action filmmaking and the directors who take it seriously.

How I work: I watch the thing before I write about it — the whole thing, not the recap. I rewatch scenes when my memory isn't reliable, which is often. I check release dates, credits, production history, and source material against primary sources — press notes, the books, the people who made it — not the top-ranking aggregator. If I got something wrong, I fix it and say so in the piece.

Where else to find me: Twitter/X — tips, corrections, and complaints about my Statham opinions all welcome.

Two fruits, same 'healthy' label: one has 50% more fiber, the other less sugar per bite — a diabetic should pick one
Walk into any grocery store and both of these fruits are sitting under the same invisible sign that says good for you. Vitamin C bombs. Snack-sized. The kind of thing a nutritionist would nod at.

There's a specific kind of song that doesn't ask permission. It gets into the house through a car radio in 1966 and it's still there sixty years later, folded into the part of your brain that also stores your childhood phone number.

For most of my adult life, grilled cheese has been the meal you make when you have given up. Bread, orange cheese, butter, a pan, twelve minutes of staring into the middle distance.
