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.

What happens to Sheepstealer in House of the Dragon? Ryan Condal compares him to a stray dragged into doggy daycare
For two seasons, Rhaena Targaryen (Phoebe Campbell) was the dragonless Targaryen, which in that family is roughly equivalent to being the Kardashian without a show. Then she chased a wild dragon across the Vale at the end of Season 2, and the internet made her a folk hero.

How to apply for MasterChef: the one requirement that surprises most home cooks is a passport
Every year, right around the time the current season starts airing, a very specific kind of person watches a contestant undercook a scallop and thinks: I could do that. I could do that better. Often in a group chat. Often to me.

Season 3 of My Life with the Walter Boys has been on Netflix since August, and the group chats are, as ever, exclusively about Cole. Cole's car. Cole's face. Whether Cole survives the season 3 cliffhanger. (Melanie Halsall, the showrunner, says she hopes he's alright for Season 4, which is showrunner for "we'll see.")
