Eric Francisco
Eric is an entertainment journalist who’s written for Vulture, Esquire, The Hollywood Reporter, The Daily Beast, The Observer, and others. If a movie or TV show has superheroes, alien worlds, kung fu, or John Cena, Eric is your man to make sense of it all.
Eric has reviewed more movies than he can remember and reported on geek pop culture trends, like the controversial Comicsgate movement, the resurgence of Dungeons & Dragons, and Asian-American representation. His pull quotes have been featured in marketing for movies and TV shows such as Now You See Me 2 (2016), Venom (2018), Child’s Play (2019), and WandaVision (2021). Before the pandemic, Eric attended New York Comic-Con nine years in a row. Follow Eric on Twitter @EricFrancisco24, where you'll see him yelling about the New Jersey Devils.
