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. A show where water could be moved with precise teachings, … Continue reading The remake and its consequences
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.

But is there any acknowledgment of this profound disruption to our sleep schedules? Any … Continue reading The thirteenth public holiday

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.
