Jada Gomez
Jada Gomez is the Managing Editor of Streaming at BuzzFeed, covering entertainment across TV, movies, and major streaming platforms with a fan-forward, service-driven approach. She has worked at BuzzFeed since 2025 and focuses on helping audiences navigate what to watch while drawing on deep enthusiasm for Disney, Marvel, and prestige television. Her coverage mixes informational guides, interactive quizzes, celebrity reporting, and first-person essays that connect pop culture to personal experience and to conversations about inequality and representation.
Streaming guides and trailer roundups
A core part of Gomez’s beat is turning crowded release schedules into clear viewing roadmaps for readers. She regularly packages new and returning shows into roundups pegged to specific seasons, highlighting films and series that are premiering or coming back in spring or fall and noting whether they are in theaters or on streaming.
Her trailer coverage spans big-budget projects like “Project Hail Mary” and high-profile sequels such as a follow-up to “The Devil Wears Prada,” emphasizing what is visually striking or narratively intriguing in the footage.
She also produces weekend recommendation pieces that spotlight a small set of movies or series she is especially excited about, translating her own viewing into concise guidance for what is worth catching up on. In her reporting on trailers that are provoking strong in-theater reactions, such as a horror trailer playing before “The Odyssey,” she collects audience descriptions of jump scares and discomfort, treating these previews as cultural events in their own right.
Disney fandom and personal essays
Disney runs through Gomez’s work as both subject matter and personal touchstone. In her essay about “Coco” and her father’s death, she uses the film’s portrayal of Día de los Muertos to examine grief, memory, and healing, writing directly from her own experience as a viewer.
Her author bio notes that she loves to immerse herself in Disney stories, and she frequently frames titles from that universe in terms of how they resonate emotionally and culturally, not just as IP.
That personal lens extends into genre coverage, including a piece on “It: Welcome to Derry” where she writes as a horror-averse viewer explaining why the series is still worth watching, offering an accessible route into a daunting franchise. Across these essays, she positions streaming content as emotionally meaningful, surfacing themes like family, loss, and courage through widely watched films and series.
She has also described a commitment to speaking plainly about inequality when entertainment stories demand it, integrating social critique into coverage that might otherwise sit purely in the pop culture space.
Quizzes, nostalgia, and mythology
Interactive quizzes are a defining feature of Gomez’s entertainment coverage, often built around nostalgia and fan knowledge. Recent posts challenge readers to identify classic cartoons from a single image or to recognize “Spider-Man” movies from stills, explicitly inviting those who consider themselves devoted fans to prove it. She constructs tests on topics like Aztec, Norse, Greek, and Egyptian mythology, presenting them as exams most adults will struggle to pass and turning ancient stories into playful, competitive knowledge checks. Her trivia work extends to television history, with quizzes on “Saturday Night Live” and Saturday morning cartoons that lean into generational markers such as being over a certain age or a ’90s kid, using identity as a hook for participation. These interactive formats encourage readers to measure their own pop culture literacy, making them participants rather than passive consumers of entertainment journalism.
Celebrity culture and fandom conversations
Gomez also dedicates substantial coverage to celebrity culture, fashion, and the dynamics of online fandom. She reports on red carpet moments like Zendaya’s sheer spiderweb gown at a Shanghai premiere, detailing the styling and capturing the intensity of digital reactions to bold aesthetic choices. In pieces about figures such as stylist Law Roach critiquing AI-generated versions of Zendaya’s wedding dress, she explores the friction between human design and algorithmic imagery in the promotion of film and fashion.
Her news-focused entertainment stories include updates on milestones such as Anne Hathaway’s pregnancy, situating these events within ongoing narratives about family and public life for well-known actors.
She curates fan and celebrity perspectives in roundups on topics like movies that outshine their source books and stars who have supported their LGBTQ+ siblings, using individual anecdotes to illustrate broader trends in taste and allyship. Her beat extends to how artists present themselves visually, including coverage of Jay-Z giving a rare look at his natural hair after years of speculation about wigs, tracing how appearance, rumor, and authenticity intersect in celebrity discourse.
She has highlighted that her BuzzFeed stories can collectively draw millions of page views and minutes of engagement in a single month, underscoring the scale at which these entertainment conversations reach audiences. She characterizes her mix of playful Disney quizzes and more serious pieces calling out inequality as central to her voice, combining fandom, service journalism, and social awareness within the entertainment beat.
