The La Loma Review—title derived from where I grew up and what I want to do here—is my latest attempt at a clean slate. It’ll be like most of my work: A series of dispatches about cinema, with inevitable digressions into other media and contrived metaphors through various disciplines. Think of it as the Jonathan Kuminga of pop culture newsletters: You’ll find yourself constantly wondering when it’ll put all its pieces together, but it should be a ride regardless.
I’ve been writing about pop culture on-and-off for more than ten years now, and I’ve juggled it with my busy schedule as a corporate serf for the past eight (give or take a sojourn into grad school). I’ve been published on Bright Wall/Dark Room, Medium, and Barber’s Chair Digital. According to my editors, I have good taste and a solid grasp of grammar and style, but I need to work on my punctuality. Only time will tell if I’ve learned that lesson by now.
With that: Do hit that subscribe button, leave nice (or mean) comments, tell your friends (or your enemies, if you’re not a fan)! Give me some of that sweet, sweet dopamine, and maybe get a good recommendation or two for your trouble.
