CineSnob is a San Antonio film review and celebrity-interview site founded and edited by Kiko Martinez, a lifelong San Antonian who has written about film since 2001. By May 2008 the site was posting letter-graded reviews, new-on-DVD lists and interviews with actors such as Richard Jenkins, Will Ferrell and Kate del Castillo. A recent interview had actress Loretta Swit recalling shooting Race with the Devil in San Antonio 50 years earlier.
The site added a weekly podcast hosted by critics Cody Villafana and Jerrod Kingery, both San Antonio natives. By May 2020, when Martinez surveyed Texas film podcasts for the San Antonio Current, the CineSnob Podcast had reached episode 163, and the pair also ran Re: MCU, a rewatch of Marvel films, and Quaranstream, a pandemic-era interview show. The podcast later passed episode 345 with a top-ten list for 2025, and the site covers Fantastic Fest and Sundance.
Martinez's own bylines have appeared in Variety, Rolling Stone and Emmy magazine, and he contributes to the San Antonio Current and Remezcla. He, Villafana and Kingery are members of the Houston Film Critics Society, which counts San Antonio as an affiliate city, and Martinez is a founding member and vice president of the Latino Entertainment Journalists Association.
