Are We Experiencing the End of Cinema?

For those of us who have recently watched a film in a movie theater, there is a noticeable emptiness in each room. Many of us can remember the days when almost every seat was filled. The decrease was gradual until the pandemic when movie theaters took a big hit. Hollywood had a few big summers with Barbie and Inside Out 2, but the movie business is still in poor shape. As of August 1, the Wall Street Journal reported that ticket sales in 2024 dropped to $4.8 billion in comparison to the 2023 box...

The Benefits of Horror Films: Why Do We Enjoy Fear?

There is a fine line between spooky movies and horror films. Spooky movies are especially popular around this time of year as the leaves change and Trader Joe’s snacks become pumpkin-flavored. Perhaps they feature a chatty ghost or a trick-or-treating family mishap. Horror movies, on the other hand, are a perpetual cultural obsession regardless of the changing of the seasons. They tend to contain gruesome images and an underlying anxiety of not knowing what lies around the corner. Voluntarily be...

A Scientific Guide To Romanticizing Rainy and Gloomy Days

One of the biggest downfalls of growing up is no longer playing in the rain. As we become adults, dark, rainy days take on a negative association.

Ultimately, the weather is out of our control — we are, however, fully in control of how we respond to less-ideal weather. Rather than falling more into the gloom, reverse the n...

Hulu’s 'Tell Me Lies' Tells Hard Truths About Toxic Relationships

Portraying toxic relationships in television and film is a challenging task. In a form that is inherently romantic, many films risk romanticizing too many aspects of a narrative. It Ends with Us recently drew criticism for missing the mark, focusing on floral outfits and advertising it as a romance when the real storyline followed the subject of abuse. To take on such a fragile, nuanced topic requires careful attention. Recently taking on this challenge is the new series Tell Me Lies. Tell Me Li...

The Dare is Sparking an 'Indie Sleaze' Comeback

Dancing, decadence, big boots, and bad decisions—2024 has reentered its Indie Sleaze Era. Before jumping into the intricacies of the music and investigating the up-and-coming artist The Dare, we must reminisce on the early 2000s club scene.

The Cult of Diet Coke: Nostalgic or Harmful?

There is a distinct societal divide between those who love Diet Coke and those who do not. Its distinct taste and aura placed the soda at the top of the American beverage hierarchy. Diet Coke elicits images of Americana, frivolity, and glamour. As Addison Rae’s recent hit “Diet Pepsi” captures, diet soda has slowly transformed into an unofficial emblem of young audiences through social media. Diet Coke is more than a beverage—it is essentially a cult.


Coca-Cola was invented back in the 1800s....

The Woman Behind the Olympian: 10 Memoirs Written by Female Olympic Athletes

The term “Olympian” denotes supreme excellence. In ancient Greek theology, the Olympians were the major deities, who with power and strength, presided over human life. This ancient connotation adds to the almost elusive and inhuman way the public treats the athletes who enter the Olympics. They are celebrated for their victories and mercilessly shamed for their failures.


Through literature, Olympians have taken their narratives back into their own hands. They have written memoirs that humaniz...
