Experience

Ethan Zack is an entertainment writer with over five years' worth of professional experience writing about video games, comic books, film, television, and music. It was an epiphany moment for a young Ethan when he realized that writing coverage of his favorite media could be just as enjoyable as consuming the media itself. Since then, he's dedicated his career to talking as much as he can about the art he loves — and the stuff he's less keen on. His work has appeared in several established outlets, including Looper, Screen Rant, SVG, and Washington Square News. When he isn't writing, you can find him livestreaming video games or watching one of the many, many movies from his massive classic film backlog.

Education

Ethan graduated from the College of Arts and Science at New York University in 2022 with a B.A. in journalism and history. Throughout his studies, Ethan also took classes on film analysis and video game theory.
