The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

‘Walking Dead’ Producer Shares BTS Look at That Insane Spiked Walker
Whether or not The Walking Dead has begun to show its age, the makeup and VFX crew only have more fun with their undead designs as time wears on.

Even ‘The Walking Dead’ Bosses Don’t Know How Old Carl Is Supposed to Be
It’s a classic conundrum for serialized shows with child actors; younger characters invariably grow older than the story would suggest.

Stephen King ‘Mr. Mercedes’ Series Announces Full Cast, Fall Premiere
As it did a great many others, the tragic passing of actor Anton Yelchin, gave significant pause to a series adaptation of Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes.

New ‘Making a Murderer’ Episodes Confirmed to Premiere in 2017
We’re still not sure what to expect from Season 2 of Netflix’s true-crime breakout Making a Murderer; whether new episodes could arrive in installments, or if the case takes significant serves between now and then.
