Janelle Monae has always been on the fringe of breaking into the mainstream. She sang with the band Fun. on “We Are Young” — which topped the Billboard 100 for six weeks in 2012 — and she acted in not one, but two Best Picture nominees in 2016.

“Isle of Dogs” has all of the classic Wes Anderson signature traits: an all-star voice cast at the top of their game, an eclectic mix of pre-existing songs with an idiosyncratic score, intensely detailed shots and a story that is equal parts enduring and off-kilter. Some of these features pay off more than others, but for the most part, the film is sweet, funny and immersive beyond compare. Wes Anderson delivers another distinctly packaged bundle of joy as “Isle of Dogs” balances fresh execution of his familiar themes with wondrous animation and enchanting world-building.

Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me by Your Name” takes the audience on a whimsical journey of romance and sexual curiosity. The film — based on André Aciman’s novel of the same name — beautifully portrays the worry-free summers of Northern Italy during the early 1980s. The gorgeous countrysides and romantic piano soundtrack surround the fascinating and erotic relationship between the 17-year-old Elio Perlman, played by the impressive Timothée Chalamet, and 24-year-old Oliver, portrayed by the charming Armie Hammer. While the story occasionally draws itself out, the film was both compelling and visually stunning, especially for the viewers who focus on each nuance of the meticulous script.

It’s a little past 6:45 in the morning when David Drake pulls his truck up the hill into Owen Park, on Madison’s near west side. The view from the top of the hill is surprisingly wooded — a restored prairie criss-crossed with snowy trails slopes down into a forest, which Drake says is a favorite haunt of the neighborhood turkeys. The only orienting landmarks are the UW Hospital towers to the east, which glint gold in the sunrise.

I could use some advice. I’m a college senior getting ready to graduate this coming May with a degree in business administration. I’ve been focusing on entrepreneurship and product strategy to help advance my own small startup, which I formed last year after funding one of my own ideas through Kickstarter.

On Jan. 28, the Grammy Awards will celebrate its 60th annual presentation of what they call “Music’s Biggest Night.” This year’s batch of nominees saw a surprising and welcome surge in hip-hop and R&B artists in major categories, but only time will tell which musicians will walk away with awards. Jay-Z leads the pack with eight nominations, followed by Kendrick Lamar’s seven nods, then Bruno Mars’ six. All three are also up for the coveted Album of the Year award. Competition is tight across multiple awards and the Grammys are no stranger to polarizing wins, as both critical darlings and chart-toppers are pitted against one another. Just last year, Adele’s 25 won Album of the Year but she said, “I can’t possibly accept this award...my artist of my life is Beyoncé,” referring to her fellow nominee’s “monumental, soul-baring, and beautiful” Lemonade. In past years, I begrudgingly watched the ceremony, and thought that the Grammys was the music industry’s biggest night rather than music as a whole, but I have never been more surprised and impressed by the nominees, which only makes picking winners that much harder.

“Call of Duty: WWII” is a return to the series’ historic setting and “boots on the ground” gameplay. In some ways it succeeds, but the final product is a jack of all trades rather than a quality experience throughout.

As students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, we are defined by our unequivocal willingness to protest wrongful ideas, beliefs, and actions. Protest serves as a reminder to lawmakers and administrators that the student voice refuses to be silenced. The greatness of UW-Madison stems not only from the virtue of academics, but from the power students have to shape these resources and define what our university stands for.

“Broad City” has done some really revolutionary things since its premiere in 2014. They’ve represented female sexuality in a bold and unapologetic way — they show vibrators on screen in a really normalizing way, rather than for shock value. This season, they’ve committed to bleeping Trump’s name out. “We just didn't want to share airtime. He's got enough and we also don't want to hear the word,” Ilana Glazer, co-creator and lead, explained over the summer on a press tour. They’ve also touched on topics such as depression, anxiety, sexual harassment and sexuality. But the most revolutionary representation, to me, is the way they depict Ilana and Lincoln’s non-monogamous relationship and break-up. It’s such a realistic depiction of modern dating, through all of its complications.

With her fifth studio album, MASSEDUCTION, St. Vincent takes another bold step into her electropop psyche.
