Charles Pulliam-Moore is a Film & TV writer for The Verge focusing on genre entertainment and how disparate, fandom-specific conversations coalesce into what we know as "the discourse."
Before coming to The Verge, Charles wrote about comic books, labor, race and a multitude of other topics at io9 and Gizmodo, and his writing has also been featured on NPR's Code Switch blog.

By all reports, Apple and Warner Bros.’ F1 wasn’t cheap to produce, but you can definitely see director Joseph Kosinski putting that budget to work in the film’s new teaser trailer.
