Jim Aquino (uh-kee-no)

This is the official YouTube channel for me, J. John Aquino. I'm the author of the 2020 non-fiction book "If You Haven't Seen It, It's New to You" and the blog Accidental Star Trek Cosplay. I ran A Fistful of Soundtracks from 2002 to 2016. I prefer to be addressed as Jim, and I write under "J. John Aquino" to avoid getting confused with other guys with names similar to my government name. Yeah, Filipino parents from earlier generations weren't exactly creative when it came to baby boy names. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" was accurate about that: Filipinas tend to receive more distinctive names like Jastinity.

If you come here expecting videos of me reacting to things I'm watching, uh... yeah, that type of video's not going to happen. Unless you're one of the Bodega Boys (R.I.P. Showtime's "Desus & Mero"), MST3K, the Sklar Brothers (R.I.P. the ESPN Classic show "Cheap Seats"), or Ken Reid, I'm not into the concept of reaction videos. I'd rather eat a glass lumpia than watch a reaction video.
