About Craig Ellison

Craig Ellison has been writing about entertainment for nearly a decade — from college newspapers to major film publications. His work focuses on adult animation (Futurama, Solar Opposites), video game adaptations (Castlevania: Nocturne), dark fantasy (Jujutsu Kaisen, Daemons of the Shadow Realm), and horror (Mike Flanagan, John Carpenter's The Thing, and anything A24 touches).

Before shifting fully into entertainment, Craig spent over six years as a baseball writer, publishing weekly articles across multiple outlets. That sports background gave him an unusual but useful skill: he treats streaming rankings, IMDb scores, and release schedules like a box score — with healthy skepticism and a soft spot for the underdog.

Craig got his start in student journalism at Illinois Valley Community College (writing for The IV Leader) before transferring to Eureka College on the Stephen W. Rigazio scholarship. At Eureka, he wrote for The Pegasus, covering everything from campus happenings to politics — including the 2020 election and Palestine. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's in Communication.

  • Only Murders in the Building

Why trust his reviews: Craig watches everything he covers. No second-hand takes. No fluff. Just honest opinions from someone who has spent nearly a decade writing professionally about film, TV, and animation.

Craig writes for CineCorner independently. All views are his own.

Episode 4 of The Boys' fifth and final season, "King of Hell", dropped on Prime Video on 22 April 2026 and delivered the show's most nightmarish creation yet: a rotted man fused into the wall of an abandoned Vought facility, tangled in roots and vines, radiating pure hate. His name is Quinn — and he rewrites everything we thought we knew about Soldier Boy.

How does season 1 of The Night Manager end? The recap you need before season 2
The Night Manager season 2 landed on New Year's Day 2026 on BBC One — and on Prime Video from 11 January — nearly a decade after the original six-parter aired in 2016.

What happens at the end of Rick and Morty season 9? The show's grimmest finale hides its warmest moment
Rick and Morty closed out season 9 in late July 2026 with "Field of Dreams", the tenth and final episode of the run, now streaming on HBO Max. Fans are calling it the bleakest finale the show has ever produced — and, somehow, its most tender. Both are true. Spoilers from here.
How long are they in the pods on Love Is Blind UK? The filming schedule is no joke
How long are they in the pods on Love Is Blind UK? The filming schedule is no joke
Watching engagements happen within four episodes, you'd be forgiven for assuming the pods phase of Love Is Blind UK lasts a month or more. It doesn't — but the days involved are far more gruelling than the golden wine glasses suggest.
What happens at the end of 30 Rock?
What happens at the end of 30 Rock?
More than thirteen years after it went off the air, people still search for how 30 Rock actually wraps up — mostly because the finale crams seven seasons' worth of closure, callbacks, and one genuine immortality reveal into a single hour. It aired on NBC on 31 January 2013 as a double episode: "Hogcock!" and "Last Lunch".

Who killed Criston Cole in House of the Dragon? Book readers saw it coming
House of the Dragon spent three seasons building Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) into the most hated knight in Westeros — no small feat in this franchise. In episode 6 of season 3, fittingly titled "The Butcher's Ball" and released on 26 July 2026, the show finally collected on that debt.

Why did Rollins leave SVU? The exit wasn't Kelli Giddish's idea
Amanda Rollins walked out of the squad room midway through season 24, in an episode that aired on 8 December 2022 — newly married, happy, and off to a teaching job at Fordham University. It was a tidy send-off for a character who'd been there since season 13.

What happens at the end of Girl in the Cellar?
Girl in the Cellar premiered on Lifetime on 23 August 2025 as part of its Ripped from the Headlines strand, with Kyla Pratt playing well against type as Rebecca — a mother whose idea of protecting her teenage daughter goes somewhere very dark. If you bailed before the finale or just want the ending laid out, here's exactly how it all shakes out.
