It is that time of year again. For me, going back to school is one of the most bittersweet feelings in the world. You trade your freedom and pool days for notebooks and student debt. I think movies can cure all things, so if you are feeling anxious about getting back to class, here are my top five movies to watch for going back to school. “Toy Story 3” I

Kye Plant, a regular mental health podcast listener, decided in 2016 to start their podcast, “Feelin Weird” to specifically discuss things they were interested in or have gone through, such as mental health, identity and trauma. The plan was to have an hour and a half episode every month featuring a guest having an open conversation about themselves and how they cope. “Feelin Weird” has now been running since then
We’re more than halfway through 2020 now, and although this pandemic has been a real pain, we haven’t been short on video games to play. This year we’ve gotten games like the long-awaited “Final Fantasy VII Remake,” the continuation of Ellie’s story in “The Last of Us Part II” and the samurai epic “Ghost of Tsushima.” Thankfully there are many other games to experience as the year goes on, with
Dave Franco directed, co-wrote and produced a thriller. Good for him! He makes his directorial debut by breaking into the slasher genre and pretty much does just okay. The plot is simple enough — two millennial couples take a celebratory weekend getaway in a rental beach house and things slowly start to go awry.

“Peace, quiet, homecooked food — what more could the bachelor want?” Looks like 2020 is not only the year of the pandemic, it’s the biggest year for caregiver horror — “Relic” recently crept into theaters where it “decayed,” in the words of our own Spencer Kain, while the much-anticipated “Saint Maud” has been pulled until further notice. Between these two, Romola Garai has unchained her directorial debut, “Amulet.” There’s more to the
For starters, I’ve never been the biggest Tyler, The Creator fan out there. I respected his talent, especially during his run with Odd Future, but I couldn’t get past his psychotic edgelord persona and his third studio album “Cherry Bomb” left a sour taste in my mouth. But in the summer of 2017 with the release of his fourth studio album, “Flower Boy,” I realized not only did Tyler leave

The element, radium, revolutionized science and lead to some of the greatest (and most tragic) scientific events in history. As a female scientist in the 19th century working in a male-dominated field, and discovering one of the most dangerous and devastating elements, no less, Marie’s road to the history books was no cake
For nearly every other Taylor Swift album, the buildup to its release has been monumental. It’s been a strategic process on her part, and superfans read into every minute detail of each Instagram post that could possibly reveal the details of the album. But her latest project was released quickly and quietly, though that doesn’t mean the buzz has been any less than usual — the artist announced her unexpected eighth
