Jerrod Kingery – Contributing Writer

Jerrod 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 as the Webmaster at WOAI/KABB/KMYS and serves as the host and producer of it’s film review show, which stars himself and Kiko as two film critics who pretend to know what they’re talking about. Jerrod is a member of the Houston Film Critics Society.


 

Cody Villafana – Contributing Writer

Born and raised in San Antonio, Cody Villafana’s earliest movie memory was watching “The Jungle Book” every day when he was a child. As the years passed, his passion for film increased and a young film critic was born. Maybe because he wanted to find out why the air conditioner in “The Brave Little Toaster” always scared him as a kid, Cody earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Texas – San Antonio and recently went back and earned his master’s in counseling. Now, along with being able to dissect a film and write solid reviews, he can tell Kiko and Jerrod what the hell is wrong with them. Cody is a member of the Houston Film Critics Society.
