He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. (wild, right?)

He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts , giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch , Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Just, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.

Why This Matters
