Author Details

Rachel Leishman is someone who thrives in her knowledge of the nerdom world, who brings her unique brand of comedy to what she writes. She loves to talk about her favorite characters, reality TV, and sharing her love of movies and television with the world, whether they like it or not.

Industry Experience

She has been a part of the Collider team since 2021 as a freelance writer. Rachel also serves as a writer for a number of sites across the internet, including serving as Assistant Editor at The Mary Sue. Previously, she wrote for websites such as Culturess. Outside of her writing, she is co-host on three podcasts including Podro Pascal, the Fordcast, and Cinema Sibs where she shares her knowledge of pop culture. 

Favorite Media

Peter Parker has been Rachel's favorite boy through most of her life but there are a great many things that mean the world to her. Parks and Recreation is one of her favorite shows (her cat is named after Ben Wyatt after all.) Shows like Doctor Who, Lost, Star Trek, Succession, Saturday Night Live, Game of Thrones, WandaVision, Andor, Cheers, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, just to name a few, are some of her favorite shows to watch. With movies, it is almost too hard to pin down. But her favorites include American Psycho, I, Tonya, Hell or High Water, Zodiac, Little Women, Oppenheimer, The Prestige, Inside Llewyn Davis, Moulin Rogue, Barbie, and Return of the Jedi. Out of all of this though, she loves Harrison Ford most of all.
