About Kipp Beansworth
Kipp Beansworth is The Shockuation Rooms's entertainment and pop-culture correspondent. He has several elaborate theories involving pop culture and the McKinley assassination, all of which are available on request.
Kipp began his professional life as a veterinarian. In time, however, his affection for writing, popular culture, and television eclipsed his veterinary ambitions. He shoved his feline cadavers in the back of the closet, gave their living-room space to DVD sets of Three's Company, and never looked back.
Although he hasn't owned a television set in nearly three decades, Kipp has recapped several hundred hours of programming — including both Citizen Kane movies, for which he did not receive hazard pay. Since 2011, he has been a contributor to the Shockuation Room, where he has written about books, movies, television and pop-culture miscellany.
Kipp's work has also appeared in Ferrets Magazine, Paranoia Magazine, and in many, many veterinary medical journals.
Kipp lives in Burbank, CA., where he devotes himself to his grand-nieces, Scrabble, and perfecting his plan to build the world's best rollercoaster.
