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.

What happens at the end of Eternals? The Celestial, the sacrifice, and two post-credits twists
Eternals crams more into its final act than most Marvel films manage in a whole runtime — a planet-sized twist, a betrayal, a transformation, and two post-credits scenes the MCU still hasn't paid off. Here's what actually happens at the end of the 2021 film, and what it all means.

How true is Dear England? Where James Graham's Southgate drama bends the real story
How true is Dear England? Where James Graham's Southgate drama bends the real story
Dear England tells a story most of the country watched live — which makes it easy to assume every scene happened. It didn't, quite. James Graham's play, and the 2026 BBC adaptation with Joseph Fiennes as Gareth Southgate, sticks remarkably close to the record in some places and takes clear dramatic licence in others. Here's where the line falls.

Two of British TV's oldest soaps, one hour of television, one very bad night on a Yorkshire road. After decades of politely ignoring each other, Coronation Street and Emmerdale finally collided — literally. Here's what "Corriedale" was, what happened in it, and why ITV did it.
What happens at the end of West Side Story
What happens at the end of West Side Story
West Side Story ends with one of the most devastating final acts in musical theatre — and it does not end the way its Shakespearean source does. Whether you know the 1957 stage show, the 1961 film, or Steven Spielberg's 2021 version, the last ten minutes play out the same way. Here's exactly what happens.

House of the Dragon: Green vs Black — who wins the Dance of the Dragons
House of the Dragon is right in the thick of it: season 3 began on 21 June 2026 with the Battle of the Gullet and runs weekly on HBO until 9 August. But if you can't wait to learn how the Targaryen civil war shakes out, George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood — the 2018 history book the show adapts — already holds the answer.

What happens at the end of My Dress-Up Darling? Where the anime stops vs how the story really ends
My Dress-Up Darling closed its second season in September 2025 with a moonlit walk home, a swallowed confession, and a selfie — and no word of a season 3. The manga, meanwhile, finished its story back in March 2025, and it goes much, much further than the anime has dared. Here's exactly where the screen stops and the page keeps going.
