- Nick has been unloading his geek-related brain matter for 18 years across various platforms with his first ever film review being for "Batman Begins," which he still believes is the best Batman film ever.
- Nick's first ever interview was with Andy Samberg for "Hot Rod" where they both expressed their love for living legend, Ian McShane.
- Prior to writing for Static Media, Nick's career-changing moment was being sent to the "Alien: Covenant" set and being jumped by an actual face hugger.
