Darren Mooney

Darren Mooney is a self-professed nerd living on the East Coast of Ireland. Born in Dublin, his family would move to Ghana when he was only four. Spending four years growing up in Africa, Darren acquired an affection for geek culture, living off VHS recordings of Star Trek or Batman: The Animated Series dispatched from home with some regularity. Such concentrated doses of nerdy goodness swiftly transformed Darren from a mild-mannered kid into a fledgling super-nerd. Ironically, his powers are at their strongest when his glasses are on. In his spare time, Darren runs his own website, the m0vie blog. It won Best Pop Culture Blog at the Irish Blog Awards, 2011. He also runs an irregular column at ComicBuzz, the leading Irish comic book website, and has done theatre reviews for entertainment.ie, Ireland's leading entertainment website. He's also contributed to radio, appearing on both Irish and Canadian radio as a pop culture commentator. He also, very proudly, won an on-line Oscar pool last year.
