Since its award-winning debut at the Venice Film Festival, Joker (2019) has been generating heated discussion online.

These general lines of…
Charlie’s Angels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voYLots_ZOg Roman: I hope to all things holy that this movie is set in the same universe as Pitch Perfect (2012), and Elizabeth Banks is playing the same character in each. The soundtrack easily sets up this ideal crossover, and it’s not difficult to see Banks play a day drinking spy who turns…
The history between the Voice and The Hoya is contentious to say the least. In 1969, a group of Hoya editors staged a coup because the newspaper refused to cover the anti-Vietnam War movement and other off-campus issues.

So I’m going into this ‘fresh’ if that’s even possible in this superhero era of media. Seconds into the trailer and I can’t help but notice the…
As the world lingers on Rihanna’s every move, begging for new music so incessantly that it has become a meme, Rihanna has once again blessed us with something we didn’t even know we wanted. Her new lingerie fashion show, Savage X Fenty, released on Amazon Prime Video September 20th and is a celebration of everything…
For a university with an undergraduate population of about 7,000 students, Georgetown has a remarkably small campus. While my lazy ass certainly wouldn’t want to change this, there are definitely a few drawbacks to this situation. Most notably: There is not a lot of extra space. Study areas are relatively few and fill up fast;…
Hello, all! It’s (unfortunately) midterm season, so here’s a playlist of bangers to get you through your study sessions. We’re also in the fall season, which means 2019 is almost over–can you believe we’re approaching the second decade of the twenty-first century? While you work on those assignments and prep for those exams, here are…
In perhaps one of the most controversial comedy specials in the last 10 years, Dave Chappelle opens with a joke about Anthony Bourdain’s suicide. Bourdain, the victims of Michael Jackson, the LGBTQ+ community, and the #MeToo movement are just some of the casualties in Chappelle’s comedic protest of political correctness. After walking away from a…
