Cult of Distraction is a blog site run by muggins here, Nick Fisher. I'm a software engineer born in Britain and living in Southern California, who wishes he was a writer and absolutely would be if there was good money in it. (And, of course, if anyone thought I was actually good enough to be paid for it...)

This site is dedicated to all the pop culture that I indulge in: film, TV, music and anime as a focus, but really whatever media interests me. I give my takes on them all and plenty more besides. (Almost) anything goes!

Pop culture often attracts cult followings, and pop culture also 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 15 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. This site is really about putting on a focus on whatever I get interested in at any given time. That can include some really old-school stuff sometimes.

I love a good pun, especially if it relates to the review somehow. It's corny, but who cares?

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 cultofdistraction@gmail.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!
