Sam Stashower wasted a lot of his childhood parked in front of the TV and figured he might as well have something to show for it. He gravitates towards horror, thriller and sci-fi, but has also been known to rewatch Forgetting Sarah Marshall on the regular. He is a life staff writer and graduate student in the literature, culture & technology program, and hails from his hometown of Bethesda. He can, and will, compare everything he watches, listens to and reads to Star Trek.
