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.

Every time an episode ends, some part of me starts pricing out wellies and a move to the Dales. That cobbled square, that pub, those hills that look retouched by someone with an unlimited budget — surely no real place looks like that.

Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife: how Mica Miller died — and why her family rejects the official answer
There's a version of this story that fits in one line of a coroner's report. Netflix's three-part docuseries exists because almost nobody who loved Mica Miller thinks that line is the whole story.

Raise your hand if you had William Macon locked up, tried, and sentenced by episode two. Yeah. Me too. The alien-hating rancher with the private kill squad and the permanent scowl — Garret Dillahunt was practically wearing a "I Am The Manhunter, Ask Me How" sandwich board.

What did Chad Powers do? The 10 seconds that turned a college star into a national punchline
Technically, Chad Powers did nothing. Chad Powers doesn't exist. He's a wig, a prosthetic face, and a chirpy "yes ma'am" energy stretched over the smoldering wreck of a man named Russ Holliday.

Who is Marshall in Furious? TV's go-to nice guy plays his scariest creep yet
Somewhere around episode two of Hulu's Furious, I caught myself doing the thing. You know the thing. Marshall apologizes, his eyes go soft, and some traitorous part of my brain whispered: maybe he means it this time.
