Melvin Benson
Founder, Editor-In-Chief, and Lead Host
Melvin loves a good story. Whether it’s a movie, show, game, comic, or novel, it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s rich, he’s ready and willing to give it a try! When he’s not knee-deep in someone else’s story, he’s writing his own.
Married to his wife Kathryn, the two regularly attend church, study the scriptures, have a tabby-cat named Milo, and stay up way too late watching movies or playing video games.

Daniel Braindead
Producer, Content Editor, and Co-Host
As a child, Dan’s pastor father and Conservative Japanese mother wouldn’t let him watch secular TV or movies. His grandparents, however, would babysit him by sticking him in front of a TV showing him movies like Predator and Rambo: First Blood Part II on repeat. This super normal and very healthy upbringing made him the man he is today.
Dan is married to a very understanding woman and attends First Congregational Church. He has a bachelor’s degree in Biblical studies and has experience as a youth pastor and mental health counselor.
