Grace Randolph, is an American reporter, film critic, YouTuber, and comic book writer. She is the most-watched female film reviewer on YouTube, where she hosts her channel Beyond the Trailer. She has written numerous comics, among them issues of Justice League Unlimited and X-Men: Nation X, as well as creating the original comic book series Supurbia.

Education

Randolph studied at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, and was part of the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy group.

Career

Comic books

From 2008 to 2009, Randolph wrote for Tokyopop's manga adaptations of the Warcraft and StarCraft video game franchises.

In 2009 Randolph wrote DC Comics's Justice League Unlimited #41. She went on to write Boom! Studios' Muppet Peter Pan, which was a reinterpretation of Peter Pan as a Muppet story. In 2010 she wrote Her-oes, a comic book mini-series about the teenage years of some of Marvel Comics' most famous female Avengers. In 2011 she wrote for Archaia's Fraggle Rock comic.

In 2012 Randolph created and wrote the original comic book series Supurbia, which was published by Boom! Studios. Supurbia is a Real Housewives interpretation of the superhero genre, which "explores the drama of superheroes' personal lives" within the context of a suburban lifestyle. It was initially intended to be a four-issue limited series, but its success led to a twelve-issue continuation.

She has also written for Marvel Comics' Her-oes and X-Men: Nation X.

In 2008 Randolph created Beyond the Trailer, a YouTube channel which discusses film and the film industry. Movie Math, a segment which covers box office performance, has since been spun off into its own, additional channel. In 2012 Beyond the Trailer became a part of Penske Media Corporation's digital network.

From 2010 to 2011, Randolph was the host of Marvel Comics' weekly web news show, The Watcher.

In 2011, in association with Bleeding Cool, she created the YouTube channel Think About the Ink. The videos explore comic books and the comic book industry, as well as TV adaptations of comic book properties. The channel's last video was uploaded in March 2015.

From 2012 to 2013 she was associated with Movieline. In 2014 and 2015, she was an entertainment correspondent for WTNH NEWS8, appearing on Good Morning Connecticut.

In 2019 Randolph appeared in a post-credits scene in the film Zombieland: Double Tap in a cameo as an entertainment reporter alongside actor Bill Murray, who played a fictionalized version of himself.

Controversies

Birds of Prey reshoots

In June 2020, Randolph reported that the film Birds of Prey underwent “massive reshoots” to take out an alleged "dick pic" storyline. Director Cathy Yan denied the allegation while downplaying the severity of the reshoots and in turn criticized Randolph for her lack of knowledge. However, Randolph doubled down on her report, leading to a exchange between the two on Twitter with Yan questioning Randolph's credibility as a journalist.

Pedro Pascal and The Mandalorian

In September 2020, Randolph claimed in a reaction video on Beyond the Trailer to the season two trailer of the series The Mandalorian that Pedro Pascal quit halfway through filming the second season over being denied more screen time without the titular character's helmet on. In a follow up to her claims in December, Randolph further alleged that Pascal's behavior led to Lucasfilm killing his character off and replacing him with Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) for the third season. The rumors started by Randolph were eventually picked up by mainstream media outlets; when asked in an interview with The One Show, Pascal categorically denied Randolph's claims while Pascal's stunt double Brendan Wayne confirmed in an Instagram post Pascal's involvement with the third season. Despite this, Randolph refused to retract her story, arguing that the post-credits scene from The Mandalorian's second season finale announcing The Book of Boba Fett corroborated her claims. This was refuted when The Mandalorian's creator and showrunner, Jon Favreau, clarified that The Book of Boba Fett was its own series, separate from the third season of The Mandalorian. Randolph's handling of the Pascal story was criticized by other journalists, describing her report as clickbait and singling out her lack of reliable sources, which could have potentially harmed Pascal's career.
