“Fallout” in Space: “The Outer Worlds” Review

From the vibrant colors, beautiful foreign landscapes, the great expanse of space viewed from the cockpit of your ship; “The Outer Worlds” is absolutely breathtaking. From the moment the game loaded up on my computer and I saw the now iconic home screen, I was sold on the game. I was sold on the ...

Jesus is King, but Kanye is Meh

If I know anything about Kanye West at this point in my life, it’s that he is a great producer. And in “Jesus is King”, his latest effort released last Friday night, is an impeccably produced album with great beats. But at this point, this is merely Kanye’s baseline. When he raps, it is better ...

Falling Short of Expectations: El Camino Review

“El Camino”, directed by Vince Gilligan, is truly average in every sense of the word. There is not a single scene that sticks out to me as anything extraordinary. I’m not saying that there is anything inherently wrong with the movie either, and it definitely serves as a worthwhile epilogue to ...

OPINION: NFL MVP watch, Week 6

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas, but that time of year when ‘small sample size’ starts to mean even less than it did compared to the week before. The week where the Dallas Cowboys are currently on a three-game losing streak after starting off 3-0. The one where the ...

No Laughing Matter: Joker Review

Horrifically beautiful, unimaginably uncomfortable, and all too real. These are just some phrases that come to mind when I think about my viewing experience for “Joker”, directed by Todd Phillips.  This movie is like nothing I have ever seen before from a comic book franchise. It truly sheds off ...

Opinion: Power, Place and Privilege

As I stare down my own graduation, I cannot help but feel I owe IUPUI everything. My mother’s decision to get a nursing degree from IUPUI in the 1990s was hers alone. But this university’s accessibility helped her to enter the medical field and become the primary breadwinner of my family. My status ...

Opinion: Stay Angry, Be Hopeful

The Supreme Court of the United States is the scariest government body in America. Right now, the justices are examining cases that will determine civil rights for vulnerable communities. Namely, the citizenship question on the 2020 census and the two cases which challenge that LGBTQ+ people fall under ...

Film Review: "Avengers: Endgame" (NO SPOILERS)

Back in 2008, Marvel released both “IronMan” and “The Incredible Hulk”-- not knowing how much of an impact the movies would leave 11 years later. There are plenty of people out there who just see this as a film, but there are those who see the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a part of their life. ...

Film Review: Pet Sematary

Warning: this review contains spoilers. If the 1920’s were the Golden Age of Hollywood, we are currently living through the Rusted Age of Hollywood. Unnecessary reboots, lazy rewrites of classics and painful to watch rehashings of the same old storylines has made going to the movies seemingly pointless ...

Film Review: Shazam!

DC is hopping on superhero comedy train, and it’s heading to the “wizard” himself, Shazam!. We all know what DC is trying to do here, but let’s put down the comparison to Marvel for a second and think about it. With their two most prized characters out of the ring, DC is left with little to ...

Film Review: Dumbo Returns as Disney's Latest Live Action Flick

Dumbo has flown in as one of many live action Disney films that are set to come out this year, and Disney spared no expense. There are many who expected the movie to be just like the original, but surprisingly, there is a lot more human interaction than in the 1941 version. There are still many, many ...

Album Review: "Wasteland, Baby!"

As the old Elvis Costello quip goes, “You have 20 years to write your first album and six months to write your second.” This rush to get new music out often results in a second album that lacks the depth and musicianship of the first. While there was a five year gap between Hozier’s debut album ...

An Unlikely Christmas Classic

Around the holidays, there are a lot of things up for debate. At what age do you tell kids the truth about Santa Claus?What’s the best way to discreetly throw away that fruitcake Aunt Helen brought to the party? How much wine is too much wine to drink in front of grandma? But perhaps the most heated ...

Un-Broken: A Story of Addiction and Healing
