20 years ago, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars ended and I wrote about why it remains my choice as the pinnacle of Star Wars TV: inverse.com/entertainment/…
Thank you for the interview! We needed more time to talk about how cool Godzilla 1998 was, but it was fun to talk;)
I finally got to interview Dinosaur Sanctuary author Itaru Kinoshita and his editor Tomoka Matsumura. We chatted about his influences, his outlook on finding the right dinosaur design, and why Sanctuary's depiction of dinosaurs is so optimistic: crunchyroll.com/news/interview…

So many "animal attack" movies exist in the shadow of JAWS, so I wrote about the 35th anniversary of one that instead opted for pure, popcorn-throwing B-movie thrills. Happy birthday, Arachnophobia! inverse.com/entertainment/…
I didn't write anything big about Superman. No, I saved my energy for something much more important: THE HISTORY OF KRYPTO THE SUPERDOG. vulture.com/article/krypto…
I wrote about 15 King of the Hill episodes that I consider to be integral viewing before the upcoming Hulu sequel series: vulture.com/article/king-o…
I wrote about Jurassic Park and the fact that its sequels aren't its greatest legacy. Instead, it's the overhaul of our cultural view of dinosaurs: gamesradar.com/entertainment/…
Before the release of 28 Years Later, I wrote about 28 zombie films that represent one of cinema's most unkillable subjects and how its evolution has matched that of the wider horror genre: vulture.com/article/best-z…
I wrote about the fifteenth anniversary of SPLICE, a sci-fi/horror film that isn't so much a "vision of the future" as it's a Pandora's box for every possible anxiety one could have about genetic testing all crammed into a single movie: inverse.com/entertainment/…
My "Meet Your Pokémon Real Estate Agent" panel from MAGFest 2025 has been uploaded! It was a packed house and a really fun time. Hope you enjoy it! youtube.com/watch?v=mOTj5d…
