“There are times when you have to choose between being a human and having good taste.”
-Bertolt Brecht
Kiko Martinez – Editor
Kiko Martinez is a lifelong San Antonio boy who has been diagnosed with OCMD (Obsessive Compulsive Movie Disorder) but is not currently seeking treatment. He has never met a movie he won’t watch and prides himself in giving all cinema its fair chance to impress him. Kiko earned his degree in journalism and has been writing reviews and articles on film since ’01 for a number of different newspapers and magazines around the U.S. He also helms CineSnob.net. Kiko has interviewed everyone from Dakota Fanning to Bill Maher and hopes to one day pick the brain of his favorite director P.T. Anderson. He believes all of life’s lessons can be learned by watching “The Karate Kid”: First learn stand, then learn fly. Work hard to be the best. Never back down to a bully. Be a good friend. Find balance. And while you’re still young, date a high school cheerleader as hot as Elizabeth Shue. Currently, Kiko contributes to a number of publications and websites including the San Antonio Current, Extra Newspaper Chicago and Examiner.com, among others. He is featured on WOAI’s movie webshow Flicker Footnotes on WOAI.com and on “San Antonio Living ” every Tuesday and Friday. Kiko lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife Anabel and their two shih tzus, Juju and MeMees.
Jerrod Kingery - Contributing writer
Jerrod Kingery has lived in San Antonio his entire life, and has pretty much been a giant nerd the whole time, give or take a few years when he was either in college or a pre-verbal infant. He fell in love with movies in high school, even writing and directing a few of his own short films along the way. Maybe you’ve seen “Kosmic Kung Fu Warriors.” No? Well, he’s also the co-creator of the Emmy-nominated puppet-based web series “Perspectives,” which a few more people saw. Currently he works at WOAI-TV serving as the host and producer of “Flicker Footnotes.”
