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 windshield has them, no owner's manual explains them: what the black dots do when the sun hits your car
Sit in any car, look at the edge of the windshield, and there they are: a black border dissolving into a polka-dot fade, on every vehicle, from a base-model hatchback to whatever a Bentley costs now.

Where was Netflix's My Brilliant Career filmed? One small town carried most of the shoot — in the dead of winter

The Biggest Box Office Bomb Every Year Since 1990
There is no schadenfreude quite like box office schadenfreude. A studio spends the GDP of a small island nation on a movie, executives high-five over tracking numbers, and then opening weekend arrives and the phrase "soft debut" starts doing a lot of heavy lifting in the trades.
