The Background: Lauren Vanderveen graduated from North Carolina State University with a bachelor's degree in film studies. The only thing she loves more than watching movies is writing about them in movie reviews, which she has done so for AllMovie and the Watercooler. Her freelance journey has veered into other areas of interest as well, such as editing and consulting work. As a news writer for CinemaBlend, Lauren covers topics related to pop culture, streaming titles and the reality TV beat.
What They're Into: Lauren’s shortlist of favorite films of all time includes Lord of the Rings, Snowpiercer, Hitchcock’s Notorious, Kristen Stewart’s entire catalogue and countless others. For scripted television, it’ll always be Battlestar Galactica to the bitter end. But she is also a connoisseur of reality shows on the Bravo network and the Travel Channel. You’ll never find a bigger Survivor superfan with no desire to actually compete than her, too.
What They're Excited About Right Now: Bridgerton, Bridgerton, Bridgerton.
