Cult of Distraction is a blog site run by yours truly, Nick Fisher - a software engineer born in Britain and living in Los Angeles who wishes he was a writer and absolutely would be if there was good money in it (and, of course, if anybody else thought that I was good enough to be paid for it).

This site is dedicated to all the pop culture that I indulge in - be it film, TV, video games, anime and whatever other media that interests me, giving my takes on them all and plenty more besides. Sometimes I go out to events related to these things and write about those too. And anything else related to these things that I might get inspired to write about. (Almost) anything goes!

Pop culture often attracts cult followings, and by and large pop culture serves as a welcome distraction from all the depressing nonsense going on in the world. So.. pop culture is a 'cult' of 'distraction'? I dunno, it got stuck in my head when I was coming up with a name for the site.

That would be uber-talented web designer Angela Truong, my universally awesome wife of over 10 years. You can find more of her work here.

Honestly, whenever I can - this is staunchly a blog and not a news site.

See previous answer. Honestly, this site is really about whatever I get time and interest in to watch / play / review etc. and that can include some really old-school stuff sometimes.

I love a good pun. I might not be the best at crafting good ones, though...

Nah.

Because I didn't like it - simple as that. That doesn't mean you can't though. If you have an issue with some of the ratings we give here, there's plenty of other places across the Internet giving the stuff you like some love.

You can reach me by email at nick at cultofdistraction dot com. Or possibly one or two social media links if I ever plan on getting those up and running.

I'm British. We do English the proper way!
