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.

She made the decision over a week ago and posted it tonight, while the rest of the cast is in Italy shooting season 6 without her. Mikayla Matthews is off The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and her statement does not bother being diplomatic about why.

America has been typing her name into search all day, and mostly one query behind it: what was she in. The answer runs from a soap opera in 1994 to a thriller released this January, and it takes in a cheerleader who could not be killed, a country star, and two roles that were only ever her voice.

Tony DiNozzo is back on NCIS from October 6, and Michael Weatherly says the bullpen did fine without him for 10 years
Tony DiNozzo is back in the NCIS bullpen on 6 October, and the first thing fans want to know is not what he has been up to — it is whether Ziva is in the car. The showrunner has now answered that, and the answer is a very carefully worded no.
