Let's solve a mystery. <p><strong>The Background: </strong>Jerrica Tisdale is a freelance writer at Cinemablend. She joined the team as a freelancer in 2019. She began freelance writing in 2012 (celebrating a big 10-year milestone in 2022). Over the last decade-plus, Jerrica has written for many different publications on pop culture topics, including TellTaleTV, Screenrant, Gossip and Gab, Big Brother Access, The List, Starpulse, and other entertainment sites. She's also done ghostwriting and copywriting for companies such as Groupon and Staples. If it's related to writing, Jerrica has probably done it at some point. However, her passion has always been for pop culture and entertainment topics. She grew up with a deep-rooted passion for film and television. One day, she'll finally be brave enough to write a script or ten thousand scripts. Jerrica considers her true talent to be researching, or as she likes to call it internet detective work. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What She's Into: </strong>Her favorite shows include Parks and Rec, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Big Brother, Veronica Mars, Fleabag, Barry, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and British panel shows. Her favorite movies include Whiplash, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ruby Sparks, Clueless, What We Do In The Shadows, Atonement, and most movies by David Fincher. Jerrica is also a major book nerd. She has a problem with buying too many books that she may never be able to read all of them, but she will surely try. Her favorite books include Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster, anything by Oscar Wilde, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, and anything by Khaled Hosseini, James Baldwin, Thomas Hardy, and Edgar Allen Poe. Jerrica is always searching for her next favorite but finds that to be a very hard search, so when she finds something she truly loves, she will never stop talking about it. You'll either hate that or love that about her.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What She's Excited About Right Now: </strong>Jerrica is excited that it's fall movie season, aka Oscar bait season. She plans to invest in a discount movie pass and see as many potential Oscar winners as possible. She's also going to attend virtual (and possibly in-person) screenings at the Chicago International Film Festival this October. Jerrica is also excited to read as many scary or classic novels throughout the month of October. It is spooky season. </p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

After graduating at Florida Atlantic University with a degree in film and theater in 2015, she worked for a year as a journalist for Talk Media covering South Florida news. In 2017, she spent four years as a ghostwriter writing about addiction and mental health for rehab and therapy blogs. Now, she divides her time writing about the subjects of both entertainment and mental health issues.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What They're Into</strong>: Carly is an avid cinephile who is always looking for the next best film to watch whether it goes back to the silent film era to what's playing in theaters. Her analytical mindset enhances her writing as she gains true understanding of the characters and stories that makes a movie great enough to write about. Her passion ranges from following film scavenger hunts on Letterboxd to discover new films and creating watchlists based on the latest trailers. She enjoys the originality and freshness indie cinema brings, particularly A24 films. During her spare time, Carly loves to listen to post hardcore rock music, watch classic television sitcoms, and reads a variety of books. She also likes to challenge her writing by writing essays on various trending topics that draw her eye.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What They're Excited About Right Now</strong>: The latest movies hitting the "Big Five" film festivals (especially Venice and Sundance).
