Two years ago, I couldn’t care less about social distancing. I was standing alongside hundreds of very sweaty people and if the occasional “Sorry! I didn’t see you there” happened, no death glares were given. (I miss you @TheSylvee)
Dominic LeRose and Johnny Bildings are seniors at UW-Madison who are fanatics about all things entertainment. Their goal is to recommend their favorite, movies, tv shows, books, music, documentaries and specials to make the dismal times of the current pandemic a little less sufferable.
We’ve grown so used to being completely dominated by technology that we haven’t even realized it. Many of us — including myself — are able to admit that we use our phones far too often and have grown completely dependent on them for communication, entertainment or “connection” with others. But, as a society we have accepted digital communication as a driving force, one that has already led to psychological and societal breakdowns before our very eyes.

While 2020 and COVID-19 saw the halting of many artist’s careers, slowing down was not in the cards for the internet apt pop/funk sextet Vulfpeck. With an affinity for online antics and a habit of stockpiling recordings, the (mostly) LA-based act has been sufficiently busy this year, demonstrating they are prepared for pandemics to come.
Ever since season one of “The Mandalorian” wrapped up last December, “Star Wars” fans have eagerly awaited the next chapter of the Mandalorians adventures with the adorable pop-culture sensation that is the Child — more commonly known as Baby Yoda. Now, with a little over a month until the season two premiere, Disney has finally dropped the highly-anticipated trailer for season two, and it has only stoked speculation about what audiences will see in season two of “The Mandalorian.”
A cluttered bedroom, slips of paper and notes pasted hastily on a wall — it looks like a television drama where detectives work diligently to find a serial killer on the loose — but, in this case, it’s the bedroom of the young, British writer, Arabella Essideu.
It’s Monday, the seventh of September. While the rest of the United States relishes in the lazy morning slumber of Labor Day, Marc Rebillet starts a YouTube livestream recording a bongo loop in nothing but boxer briefs. Rebillet — pronounced Rub-E-A — has amassed a cult following thanks in part to these marathons of quirky, completely improvised songs. Also known by his self-dubbed alias Loopdaddy, Rebillet is far from a one-trick pony. His YouTube catalogue of songs seemingly conjured out of thin air is extensive, and he has multiple full length albums on streaming services. Musically, Rebillet draws from funk, neo-soul and hip-hop, creating a tapestry of sound as skillful as it is goofy. Rebillet’s minimalistic sound and setup represent today’s myriad of musical niches, and encourages his audience to find their own.

The star-studded cast of "The Devil All The Time" includes Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland and Sebastian Stan.
Jessie Buckley, plays the lead in the new Kauffman thriller, alongside Jessie Plemons.
Following my experience during “Tenet” a few days ago, I figured I wouldn’t run into another movie this year that confused me more than whatever beautiful disaster Nolan designed.
Many people have asked me if I have any movie recommendations to lift their souls during the perilous, dark times we’re living in with the COVID-19 pandemic still controlling the world. While there are numerous feel-good films perfect for our time, Netflix’s latest drama won’t serve as a mood-elevator.
Twenty-six years ago this month, The Notorious B.I.G dropped his legendary album, Ready to Die. 1994 was an absolutely riveting year, not just for pop culture but for the world. “Pulp Fiction” and “The Shawshank Redemption” both hit theaters less than a month apart, while Amazon got its start in a garage in Bellevue, Washington, and Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first Black president. Needless to say, 1994 was also a magical year for music. Beck’s Mellow Gold and Pavement’s Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain which defined the alternative/indie niche while elsewhere in hip-hop Nas’s Illmatic would eventually become one of the most critically acclaimed rap projects of all time. But on Sept. 13, 1994, under the brand new label Bad Boy Records, Ready to Die introduced the world to hip-hop’s most recognizable superhero, Biggie Smalls.
When I first sat down to watch “Lovecraft Country," I was ecstatic. The producers attached (fellows named J.J. Abrams & Jordan Peele), HBO-all stars involved (“The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire” star Michael K. Williams) and premise of the story gave me a glimmer of hope that HBO would continue their impressive streak of original shows airing in 2020. We’re in a content vacuum after all, and if I get 10 weeks of new programming this year — I’ll take it, no questions.
As many of us turn to movies and television as a source of escape from the overwhelming events going on around us, finding the right mindless content can feel like a chore.
“Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.”
As the rest of the world lies in waiting for Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet,” I’ve shifted my attention towards another blockbuster coming down the post-COVID pipeline in the next 12-15 months — a familiar figure of comic book lore Nolan himself has successfully and notably tackled before.
As musicians grapple with the past few months that proved to be a pause on their regular scheduled programming, the silence has given them a chance to redefine what it means to interact, or in this case, perform live. Gathering in a sweaty music venue and watching someone perform live is a hard thing to imagine right now. With numbers across the country still going up as thousands of students return to college campuses, a slight return to normalcy serves as a dream. Local music venues are struggling to hold on as their main sources of income are at a halt. Patrons are encouraged to donate and support them in whatever way they can.
Seth Rogen may be one of the most enjoyable comedians of our time to watch, yet his latest project is a set-back to his impressive resume that includes memorable roles in comedies such as “Knocked Up” and “This Is The End.”
