Author Details
Amanda Lamadrid is a movie and TV news writer for Screen Rant. She earned an MFA at the University of Miami and has worked as a freelance writer for various magazines, newsletters, and companies. A bookworm and TV/film enthusiast, she has a special appreciation for accurate book-to-screen adaptations, so she's still not over Percy Jackson (2013).
Industry Focus
As a core news writer for Screen Rant, Amanda writes about a wide variety of movie and TV topics, but particularly enjoys deep dives on television shows like House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, Stranger Things, The Boys, The White Lotus, and many others, and movies including The Lord of the Rings franchise.
Favorite Media
As a lover of myths and legends, Amanda is still a sucker for a good Marvel or Star Wars movie, but her favorite multi-dimensional sci-fi film recently was Everything Everywhere All At Once. Her favorite TV show just changed from Barry to Better Call Saul, but she may have a different answer if you ask her tomorrow.
