Luke Y. Thompson

Luke Y. Thompson has been a writer and editor in the fields of cinema, pop culture, fast food, weird food, and toys since 1999. He was the first trade reporter to offer thorough daily coverage of Comic-Con at Deadline under Nikki Finke, and has worked on a few super-obscure direct-to-video cult movies, which is how he met his wife. In 2013, he took over Voice Media's Topless Robot "nerd" site, running until its closure in 2015. Writing and editing for the email blast GeekChicDaily, he helped build the company to a level where it was able to purchase Nerdist and sell to Legendary Entertainment. Previous outlets include New Times, LA Weekly, E! Online, The L.A. Times, Deadline, Wizard Magazine, and more. A member of the LA Film Critics Association, he has won L.A. Press Club awards for headlines at New Times LA, and movie reviews for OC Weekly.
