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.

Cheaper than any supplement, sitting in most kitchens: 3 things green tea does for the heart
Somewhere in your kitchen, quite possibly behind the good olive oil and a jar of something you bought for one recipe in 2023, there is a box of green tea. It costs roughly nothing per cup. And it has been studied more obsessively than most of the pricey powders people order off the internet at 1 a.m.

Still forcing yourself to 'not give up'? The Slow Horses star flips it: quitting can be the brave choice — if you pass one test
We have collectively decided that quitting is for cowards. "Never give up" is on the mugs, the gym posters, the motivational reel your uncle keeps resharing. Perseverance is the whole personality now. Which is exactly why it's a little jarring — in a good way — to hear someone successful argue the opposite.
