McKenzie Morrell

Founder and Editor-In-Chief

McKenzie runs on spicy miso ramen, donuts, and creative chaos. This wordy, thirty-something is known for her sharp-witted tone, and sarcastic demeanor. Her work experience is diverse: adventures include managing an internationally recognized Trampoline Park, producing and editing, and being an overall tech nerd. During her college years she gained flavorful work experience while interning at WWE, The Jerry Springer Show, and The Steve Wilkos Show. McKenzie’s flare for writing, hosting, and producing unique content across the web inspired her to create Fandomize to get back to her Entertainment Journalism roots.

Beth Shiller

When Beth isn’t binging a TV show or writing screenplays, she is studying to get her Ph.D in rhetoric and pop culture at Ohio University. She hopes that one day she can see her work on the big screen. Beth loves everything Marvel, The Walking Dead, Star Wars and Harry Potter. Beth also loves to talk to people and hear their stories and is happy to be back in entertainment journalism. She’s excited to be a part of the Fandomize family.

Jerrold Reber

Contributor

Jerrold spent his childhood in southeastern Pennsylvania ingesting far too many TV shows and movies, thus creating a stark-raving mad geek. His addiction has led to an unhealthy and rabid obsession of various geek pantheons in film and television – Star Trek, Star Wars, both DC *AND* Marvel, James Bond, Supernatural, Doctor Who, cult 80's and 90's television, Lost, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and, and...holy overload! He's still waiting to run away in a 1967 Impala, the Enterprise-D, or a blue police box (bigger on the inside of course).

Naomi MC

Contributor

A daydreamer at its finest, always found with a pen and a notepad in her hand. Beside the notepad, a comic book was always nearby. Losing touch with her nerdy character for years, she came back full force and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Kevin Carey

Contributor

Kevin Carey may not have been bitten by a radioactive spider or traveled to the Upside Down or even sold Dunder Mifflin paper products. But he’s willing and able to write about those who have and so much more. Pop culture, much like tacos, is life. All gray hair grown naturally.

Gabrielle Bisaccia

Contributor

A self-proclaimed LGBT movie buff, Gabrielle spends her time reading, enjoying a multitude of films and daydreaming about the next great cinematic love story. Always a lover of all things horror, she is constantly watching and re-watching titles like The Conjuring and Insidious. You can often find her playing The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption on her PlayStation or taking scenic drives in her muscle car.
