Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available. 

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for Screen Rant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She began her career as an editor in 2014. She was initially a finance editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

The release date for Warner Bros.'s upcoming DCU movie, Clayface, has been announced.

Clayface, which is directed by James Watkins, has been pushed back from September 11, 2026, to October 23, 2026. The supervillain film will star Tom Rhys Harries (Clayface/Matt Hagen), Naomi Ackie (Dr. Caitlin Bates), Max Minghella (John), David Dencik (undisclosed), and Eddie Marsan (undisclosed).

The movie was written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini. Several faces that are synonymous with DC and Batman, such as Matt Reeves, James Gunn, Lynn Harris, and Peter Safran, will serve as executive producers.

Whether intentional or not, Warner Bros.'s decision to move Clayface's release date to the Halloween season is a smart move. The upcoming film is reportedly going to have a much darker and horror-like theme than DC's previous projects. Throw in the fact that Watkins has directed several iconic horror and thriller titles, such as The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil, and Black Mirror, and the timing is all the more perfect.
