Johnny Brayson is a Los Angeles-based entertainment writer for Bustle. He covers movies, streaming, and the occasional odd television show. He has previously covered entertainment for MGM Studios, Wetpaint, Looper, Outer Places, ThisTV, CHARGE!, and COMET TV. He has a BA in Journalism from the University of Maine and has also completed the sketch comedy writing program at the UCB Theatre in New York.
