Hugh Scott
The Background: Hugh Scott is the Syndication Editor for CinemaBlend. Before CinemaBlend, he was the managing editor for Suggest.com and Gossipcop.com, covering celebrity news and debunking false gossip. He has been in the publishing industry for almost two decades, covering pop culture – movies and TV shows, especially – with a keen interest and love for Gen X culture, the older influences on it, and what it has since inspired.
He graduated from Boston University with a degree in Political Science but cured himself of the desire to be a politician almost immediately after graduation.
What He's Into: When not writing and editing, he is usually going to concerts, curating playlists on Spotify, or watching concert films. In addition to music, he cooks, cleans, and fixes things around the house, especially things his 10-pound terror of a dog has destroyed in a fit of bordem.
What He's Excited About Right Now: Trips to the Cayman Islands and Alaska in 2024, and, as always, all the upcoming concerts he plans to attend.
