Sadie Brandt6 months ago06 mins

Walking into “We Live in Time,” all I knew was I was going to see Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh. I had avoided any and all spoilers of the plot, to the point I had no clue what I was in for. I walked out with tears staining my face and a greater appreciation for…

Staff Picks: October

The Editorial Staff6 months ago6 months ago011 mins

Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief: I’m reverting back to my roots for this one. “Understand” by Greer has been stuck in my head lately and despite seeing them perform live back in 2022, my sentimentality toward the lead singer continues to thrive.

Chan-Smutko: “The Nightmare Before Christmas” review

Casey Chan-Smutko6 months ago05 mins

Film Review: No one’s laughing after ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’

Audrey Collins7 months ago07 mins

Audrey Collins Contributing Reporter In 2019 the “clown prince of crime” was inescapable. Director Todd Phillips had made the jump from raunchy stoner comedies to thought-provoking dramas with “Joker” back in 2019, and it paid off in a big way.
