Kanye West stumbles to salvation with ‘Jesus is King’
(11/15/19 2:00pm)
Halfway through Jesus is King, a certain track begins with an acoustic guitar playing an eerie riff, slow and steady into each note. It’s mixed really well, and the riff is more akin to “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin than “Gorgeous,” a guitar-focused track from West’s landmark My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. It sounds new and exciting, and I’m excited for the track to keep layering on. What was next? Drums? Vocals?

(11/12/19 2:00pm)
After Australian filmmaker Jennifer Kent’s debut critically acclaimed feature film “The Babadook” in 2014 that challenged the notions of the horror genre, she is back with a viciously disturbing tale of brutality.

(11/08/19 2:00pm)
Though the show only lasted a few years, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was a phenomenon that is still remembered to this day. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that Netflix has chosen to remake the animated show — this time as a live-action adaptation.

(11/07/19 2:00pm)
It’s officially November, and autumn is quickly transitioning into the frigid Wisconsin winter that we all know and love. Students are starting another round of midterms, and many are preparing to go home for the holidays.

Satirical dark comedy ‘JoJo Rabbit’ is a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece
(11/04/19 2:00pm)
There are films that come around every now and then that seem to hit all the right notes and impact you in multiple ways. Very few times have I seen a film that can have the audience laughing out loud in one moment, and feeling emotional or sad just 20 seconds later.

Bojack Horseman season six equal parts honest, hilarious
