For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Give me a lighthearted recap
Two decades after Kill Bill carved itself into movie history, Quentin Tarantino is finally bringing a long-lost part of the saga into the world — and, fittingly for 2025, it’s arriving through Fortnite. The new animated short, The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge, adapts an abandoned sequence from the earliest draft of Kill Bill. It debuts inside Fortnite and will screen theatrically as part of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, the long-requested four-hour cut that unites both films.
At a special launch event at the Vista Theater in Los Angeles, Tarantino broke down how this unexpected crossover came to life. Tarantino said the initial meeting with Epic Games wasn’t at all what he expected. He told the audience:
“They got together with me to talk about some situation where my characters and Fortnite do something kind of groovy. So I show up at the meeting thinking that we’re just going to talk about that — they want to license the characters, and they want to get my ideas about what will be a fun thing to do. They asked if I had something in the eight to twelve minute range that could be good for our purposes and make sure your iconic characters are wrapped up inside this.”
What Is the 'Kill Bill x Fortnite' Event About?
As it turned out, Tarantino already had exactly that. Tarantino explained that Yuki’s Revenge came from the first draft of Kill Bill, written over twenty years ago. The chapter focused on Yuki, the twin sister of Gogo Yubari. In this abandoned sequence: “Gogo had a twin sister and had the sniffles that night at the House of Blue Leaves and leaves early. It never even made second drafts. It was too crazy, too violent, and just too much action.” Because of pacing issues — and because it was simply too wild for the finished film — the entire chapter was removed. But Tarantino never totally let it go.
“When I wrote the first draft of the script, there was a lost chapter that, frankly, I just didn’t think we could pull off. And Yuki has been a figment of my imagination for over 20 years. I actually thought maybe the ship had sailed as far as doing new material. I was wrong.”
Alongside the Fortnite short, Lionsgate is releasing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair — the infamous four-hour cut that combines Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 into a single 281-minute epic, with a 15-minute intermission. The film hits select theaters on December 5, including the whole cast: Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks, and the late David Carradine as Bill.
