The Fanatic’s Den

Benjamin Marlatt

Writer, film critic, sports fan, musician, avid reptile lover, and amusement park junkie. I believe five things to be true: The Beatles are the greatest rock band ever; Led Zeppelin started heavy metal every bit as much as Black Sabbath; Martin Scorsese should have three Best Director trophies on his mantle and not only one; Dan "The Man" Marino is the greatest thrower of the pigskin ever; and National Lampoon's Vacation isn't so much a comedy as it is a true story for me. Y'all laughed at the Griswold's experience... and I lived it.
