Houston McLaury- In February, a new series was released on Netflix that I’ve had no interest in seeing. It holds all the promises of a show from my childhood; a show my sibling and I would gather around the TV after elementary school to watch the newest episode or even a rerun from the past.

Jonas Doerr- The collective population of the United States of America just lost one hour of sleep. That, by the most recent count, comes out to 331.9 million hours.

Will Sorg- You have not experienced true enlightenment until you have watched Madame Web. My sides hurt so bad from laughing after watching this movie. I don’t know how to describe this cinematic experience. I think I saw God and her name is Dakota Johnson.
