- Biography:
- Luke first became a published author and critic at the age of ten, writing the title poem of the children's collection "I Hate Mustard," in Ireland where he grew up. He has been writing professionally about film and pop culture since 1999, when he was hired by New Times LA on the basis of his self-published zine. Has written for most major Los Angeles publications, including the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, E! Online, Deadline, OC Weekly, CityBeat, and more. At Voice Media, he ran the pop-culture blog Topless Robot for two years, leading it in a rebrand that focused on more diverse voices. As an editor at GeekChicDaily, Luke helped to build an email newsletter into the current version of Nerdist. As of this writing, he covers every level of film from ultra-low budget indies to massive blockbusters at Superhero Hype, The AV Club, Geekerati on Substack, and Slashfilm.
