Industry Experience
I've written about entertainment for 20+ years, covering everything under the sun, including movies, television, music, video games, books, and theme parks. I've written everything from gigantic features, interviews, reviews, and love it all. I started writing for my local newspaper before I was even a teenager, and I haven't stopped since.
You can find more of my writing on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/rbonaime.
Favorite Media
For movies, I'll basically watch anything, but I love classics, as well as pretty much anything in the Criterion Collection or Disney. Music, I also try to stay pretty open, but my heart will always be in 2000s indie rock. My favorite TV shows range from Six Feet Under to Lost and The Simpsons. My favorite books are probably High Fidelity and anything by Chuck Klosterman. Finally video games, I love The Last of Us, Super Mario World, and if you're familiar with Maniac Mansion, you'll be my best friend.
