Tyler Childers’ sixth studio album, “Rustin’ In The Rain,” is a short collection of compelling and personal emotions from one of the biggest names in country, folk and bluegrass. The country songs of the last 20 years have had their standouts and music idols, but the market has become oversaturated with music solely made for commercial success. Artists like Childers are helping push the umbrella of country music in a
Hercule Poirot is on the case. Based on Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel “Hallowe’en Party,” the film “A Haunting in Venice’’ has surpassed expectations in the detective fiction genre by crossing into the realm of horror and thrill. Following the success of director Kenneth Branagh’s Christie adaptations, “Murder on the Orient Express” and “Death on the Nile,” “A Haunting in Venice” switches things up and dives head-first into the paranormal with
When people think of live action anime, the first word that pops into many minds is “failure.” Over the past few years, anime adapted into live actions have earned themselves a poor reputation.

Olivia Rodrigo is witty, pissed off and angsty at the same time. Breaking the sophomore album curse, “GUTS” has become an instant pop-punk classic. With high expectations, the 20-year-old responds with her most intimate songs yet. The record is rife with killer lines while pushing powerful ballads. “GUTS” is the epitome of rockstar. Second albums are a risky affair. Plenty of newly famous musicians fall short of their first album’s
Director Emma Seligman teams up with Rachel Sennott again in their new raunchy teen comedy, “Bottoms.” The film has everything one would expect from a high school comedy and more – delusional high schoolers, irresponsible adults and a surprising amount of gore. “Bottoms” follows two lesbian best friends, PJ and Josie, played by Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri respectively, as they desperately try to win over their cheerleader crushes. Unfortunately,
It was a surprise for fans all across the world. On Aug. 19, Ariana Grande posted a reel on her Instagram account. In it, a camera was moving toward the TV, showing scenes of Grande smiling and singing in front of a microphone. While the camera traveled, it passed over items on a table. That was when fans realized this was not a regular Instagram reel but a teaser. On
