Incredibles 2 — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5qOzqD9Rms Juliana: I tend to be a bit skeptical when it comes to Pixar sequels, because they never seem to be as great as the classics. That being said, I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE! Seriously, how long have we been waiting for it? I’m super happy that all of my favorite…
So lowkey as a writer, I’ve never written about any female rappers, after like six articles or something. Which is absurd. There are so many talented women in hip-hop! And it would be a shame to let one or two women stand for the whole spectrum of artists innovating and getting their bags. So here’s…
Chances are, if you’ve already watched this show, you’re from Brazil or going through a Narcos hangover. I don’t blame you: I’m a combination of both, which is probably what made me give this show a try. And it was….wow. O Mecanismo (translated into The Mechanism) is a political drama loosely based off the real…
There may be a Starbucks on every corner in this nation’s capital, but look a little further and you’ll find some true gems of cafés and coffee shops. While some places force a struggle to find seating and others lack the wifi necessary to do work (I found out the hard way at A Baked…
Since 1967, Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 100 million albums, been through 16 different band members, and done a lot of cocaine. The band’s legacy has assured them a place in pop cannon forever, but their rise to popularity was marked by bitter feuds and drug addiction. Female singers Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks…
Terminal – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18RqtFuaNe8 Juliana: I’m gonna be honest: I’m totally loving this movie’s dimly lit aesthetic. I have no idea what the plot is, but it looks like your typical spy/hitman movie, with loads of badass shots and weapons. And, somewhere in all of this, Margot Robbie is involved, with her full on Harley Quinn…
Jamestown was very nearly a complete failure. Most of the original men were dead after the first year, and had it not been for John Smith’s accidental leadership, it is likely that the drought, lack of food, and swampy conditions would have overcome the faltering colony shortly after their arrival in 1607. With time, however,…
I have never met anyone else outside of my family who has heard of “Moxy Früvous,” which makes sense. As a 90s politically satirical folk-pop band from Canada, I could see how it could be a niche category of music. Yet Früvous’ soaring harmonies, intelligent political commentary, and beautiful vocals, combined with some really weird,…
Sicario 2: Day of Soldado – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIMChzE_aCo Sam: Mixed feelings from me on this one. Soldado is the sequel to Sicario (2015), a violent, unfettered foray into the war against drugs that happens to be one of my favorite thrillers of recent memory. But it never struck me as likely to receive a sequel. Soldado…
At the age of 22, Jason Isbell joined the rock band The Drive-By Truckers, kickstarting an impressive country music career with the band. After dangerous habits including excessive drinking drove the Truckers to force him out, Isbell began an equally-worthy solo career. His independent albums, including Sirens of the Ditch and Southeastern reflect Isbell’s life,…
