On April 9th, Taylor Swift released Fearless (Taylor’s Version), a remake of her 2008 classic album. Our staff writers Dana, Olivia, Will, Jack, Betsy, Brewster, and Megan sat down to discuss the album in a roundtable format. First impressions… Dana: It just means so much to me. That’s it. It really feeds into the whole “nostalgia” moment that’s going on and it’s been really interesting to see a new take on old content. Olivia: I actually thought from “Love Story” that everything was going to sound exactly the same, because when the “Love Story” re-record was released like a month
Homestuck is known for a lot of weird things, and one of those things is realistic trauma response. Throughout The Homestuck Epilogues, Andrew Hussie depicts the after effect of experiencing traumatic events at a young age.
Flo Rida was not initially supposed to be in the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. But there he is, featured on a song representing the nation of San Marino?
Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most iconic anime of all time, and Freudian analysis of Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley, and Shinji Ikari, provides a whole new layer, and how does this relate to Hideaki Anno himself?
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an esport defined by its sense of scale. In particular, the introduction of new DLC characters radically changes discussions on viability as players scramble to determine if they’re viable – or if other characters become more viable due to winning the matchup.
Over the past year, I’ve played through a great number of new games to help keep me afloat during these “unprecedented times.” Since I’ve been given the platform, I’m going to be writing about each of these games, and what specifically I love about them in: The Joy of Gaming, or TJOG. This week: Hollow Knight.

Disney’s Mulan is a cultural landmark among generations of Asian-American kids. But what if Disney could do better? And what if they could do much, much worse?
In the 2,800-ish years between the Odyssey’s initial oral performance and my reading, someone got the bright idea to recite a poem while music was playing in the background. And more than two millennia after the Odyssey was initially written, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem accidentally wrote an epic poem.

Hello! Welcome to Metaverse Media! You might be confused as to what Metaverse is exactly.

I am a strong believer that superhero movies don’t need to be “high cinema,” and that Martin Scorscese was right when he called them the amusement parks of movies. I also don’t believe that’s a bad thing. I think superhero movies should be fun! Comic books are a fun medium!

I’m here to talk about the Death of Nancy Drew.
One day I heard a song through my Spotify Discover Weekly and fell in love. So I made a playlist around it.
Glee is the Western TV most similar to a conventional JRPG, and it all hinges upon one point: suspension of disbelief.
In How To with John Wilson, what starts out with an attempt at an informative, objective documentary, turns much more personal.
If you live in the United States, television is almost always one of two things. If you live in Britain, there’s a better option.
“I’m A Joestar (Black Power Fantasy)” is personal, it’s powerful, and it’s the song of the year.

Ok so 2020 sucked. I made a list of the media I consumed that also consumed me. This is my top 9 because I had a rough time with this.
I think my biggest problem with Three Jokers is that it is in fact a Joker story. Which, admittedly, doesn’t bode well for this review.
