Is Watching Saturday Night the Best Way to Spend Your Saturday Night?
Jules Conners, Editor-in-chief • December 17, 2024

Saturday Night is the newest comedy sensation, and while it may not be a typical made-for-the-screen movie, it broke the invisible barriers of media.

Hallmark Movies: Score or Bore?
Vivian Thomasset, Staff Writer • December 17, 2024

Leave the World Behind
Ruby Lortie, Staff Writer • May 13, 2024

As apocalyptic movies take over the big screen in the last few years, playing into the idea that the end of humanity is near, it's hard to decipher which ones are worth watching. As someone who normally heads towards re-watching series like “The Office'' and “New Girl'', I found myself pleasantly surprised by the recently made movie “Leave the World Behind.” Minor spoilers ahead!!  It's...
