- Nick has been unloading his geek-related brain matter across various platforms with his first ever film review being for Batman Begins, which he still believes is the best Batman film ever.
- His first ever interview was with Andy Samberg for Hot Rod, where they both expressed their love for living legend, Ian McShane.
- He still regularly watches Ted Lasso win at darts or Paulie from The Sopranos get confused about interior decorators.
Experience
Having studied film and television for three years, Nick spent a long time writing about what he loved for Moviepilot, Screen Rant, Dexerto, and Jumpcut as a side hustle. Eventually, he took the plunge as a freelancer and joined Looper in 2022 and then SlashFilm in 2024, where he could finally apply his secret talent of 'punmanship' to those who need it.
Education
Nick has a B.A. in media film and television also involved focusing on European and British cinema, as well as mainstream television.
