About Chris Hayner

Chris Hayner is a veteran editor and journalist, covering all things movies, TV, and video games for way too long. Previous outlets include GameSpot, The Hollywood Reporter, IGN, and Mashable. He loves Fortnite, Paddington 2, and Jaws, but not in that order and watches more pro wrestling than you, which is not a flex.
