Writing
Articles (including essays, reviews, and reporting) have appeared in various magazines, journals, and websites, including Time, Millennium Film Journal, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and Cineaste, where I am an assistant editor.
My work primarily concerns culture and mass media, including film, television, comedy, and books. I previously wrote a weekly column on late night television for Paste, where I also covered television and stand-up comedy.
