Erik Kain

I'm a freelance writer and content creator whose work has appeared in Forbes (where I run a blog) as well as The Atlantic, The National Review and Mother Jones covering everything from TV shows to video games to politics and culture.

I make videos about TV shows, movies and video games with an emphasis on fantasy, science-fiction, horror, historical fiction and superheroes. You'll find reviews and analysis of everything from The Rings Of Power to Dark Souls to the MCU and Star Wars on this channel.
