Like most sequels, the biggest hurdle To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020) faces is measuring up to the hype of its predecessor, the extremely successful To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018). The first TATBILB had a remarkable level of cultural impact, especially for an adaption of a book series…
Sufjan Stevens released a colorful new single, “The Unlimited” on Feb. 5, continuing his streak of branching into experimental music. Moving away from the stripped back, acoustic style of his latest album, Carrie and Lowell (2015), fans will recognize the track’s electronic sound as being reminiscent of his 2010 release, Age of Adz. The single…
Trailer 1 — Hunters (2020) Chetan: At first, I thought I clicked on the wrong link when I opened this trailer because it didn’t even seem like a TV trailer—it felt more like some sort of summertime Old Navy commercial set in a backyard barbecue party. But the sudden shock when the lady points at…

Formerly one of the most towering, intimidating forces in music, Eminem has…
NBC’s beloved philosophical comedy The Good Place ended its fourth and final season on January 30. The last episode of the series had an extended air time of 65 minutes, compared to the usual twenty; the gift of extra time matched perfectly with the series’ ultimate conception of what the Good Place is.
