Butting Heads: Halloween vs. Christmas

mhembruff2 years ago2 years ago04 mins

Maia Hembruff News Editor A fun filled night of tricks, treats and silly little costumes — what more could you ask for? Halloween is a classic holiday, and the childhood nostalgia it holds for me is unrivaled. It is made extra special by the fact that it is only one day, instead of Nathan’s long-winded…

Butting Heads: Tarantino vs. Nolan

rpelillo2 years ago2 years ago04 mins

Ryan Pelillo Arts & Entertainment Editor Christopher Nolan is a better director than Quentin Tarantino. Nolan has had a much broader reach in terms of the general public, more clever narratives and isn’t as “film bro-ish.” Some of Nolan’s most notable works include “Interstellar” and “Inception.” These are both films that are artistically sound and…

To be or not to be: should rom-com couples end up together?

mwallitsch2 years ago2 years ago04 mins

Sadie Brandt Contributing Reporter Romantic comedies are my favorite movie genre, filled with happy couples, 2000s soundtracks and horrific retro fashion choices. In 2022, I watched 15 rom-coms in a week after my boyfriend and I broke up. Whether that was a healthy coping strategy or not is up for debate, but it gave me…

Butting Heads: rockstars vs. young hearts

ldrapeau2 years ago2 years ago03 mins

As you may have read, I analyzed A24’s “Priscilla” (2023) last semester with a focus on themes of control and manipulation. Many of those who enjoyed watching the “Elvis” (2022) film were either fans before or were interested in learning more about his life and experiences. I will begin by stating straight off the bat…

Super Bowl (Taylor’s version)

jmoran2 years ago2 years ago05 mins

Don’t let all of the narratives fool you; the Chiefs are the true underdogs next Sunday. Says who? Says the Vegas odds which has the 49ers at a 2.00 spread. Not only are the Chiefs statistical underdogs for the Super Bowl but in many ways, they have been underdogs nearly the entire season. They started…

Butting Heads: ‘The Nightmare Before Halloween’

ACahill2 years ago2 years ago02 mins

Casey Chan-Smutko: Halloween News Editor Just because “The Nightmare Before Christmas” has the word Christmas in it does not make it a Christmas movie. I’ve watched this movie a thousand times exclusively on Halloween because it is a Halloween movie. You could argue that Jack Skellington goes to Christmas Land to become Santa Claus, but…

Butting Heads: Barbie vs Oppenheimer

restus3 years ago3 years ago04 mins

Ryan Estus I’m sure I probably won’t be the first person to say this, and I certainly won’t be the last – Barbie was a fantastic movie. I saw the blockbuster film twice, after deciding that another visit to ‘Barbieland’ was the only way to do this movie justice. This film has everything; dead-on casting…

Butting Heads: Easter Candy

Two authors go head to head to determine which is better… Reese’s Eggs or York Eggs? Graphic by: Maddie Bataille | Photo Editor Juliana Lepore First of all, sorry David, but what even is a York Egg? And is it nearly as iconic as THE Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg? Absolutely not.  I am a Reese’s…

Butting heads: DC vs. Marvel

dbroccoli3 years ago3 years ago04 mins

Two authors go head to head to determine which is better… DC or Marvel. Graphic by: Maddie Bataille | Photo Editor Jake Fahey: In terms of the comics, it’s obvious to state that DC has the more remarkable characters in their roster, some which Marvel went as far as borrowing traits from to make some…

Butting Heads: Ice Cream

jlepore3 years ago3 years ago04 mins

Two authors go head to head to determine which is better: Soft serve or hard ice cream. Graphic by: Maddie Bataille | Photo Editor Juliana Lepore Hard Ice-Cream: Ok, I love soft ice cream as much as the next guy, but when it comes to soft vs. hard ice cream, hard is always my go-to.  …
