On Wednesday, April 29, people gathered in a Shideler Hall lecture room to watch “Bittersweet: Black College Life at a Predominately White Institution.”
“The Devil Wears Prada,” a fashion classic, was released in 2006. Now, 20 years later, the iconic cast of characters has returned for what has to be one of the best sequels I have ever seen.Sequels tend to be hit or miss for me, with an emphasis on the miss. Even when I have the time of my life watching them, they almost always fail to meet the quality of the original. “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is an exception to that.
Look, I get it, we’re all burnt out, and we don’t want to read words anymore. But at some point during summer break, you’re going to wake up on that towel on the beach and realize you’re bored out of your mind and need something to do.
Fiesta Charra is one of Oxford’s most popular spots. Chances are you’ve been there at least once.

“The World is to Dig” is the 24th studio album by TMBG, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the band still has it in them to produce quality music.The title is a reference to Ruth Krauss’ children’s book “A Hole is to Dig,” which the band previously posed with for a promotional shoot about 35 years ago.
Before the MCU took off, the Sam Raimi “Spider-Man” trilogy was the peak of superhero movies. Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker was the first live-action version of the superhero and the introduction to Spider-Man and Marvel in general for kids growing up in the 2000s.Those movies kick-started my obsession that still lingers today.

Director Kristoffer Borgli did not miss when he titled this movie “The Drama” — because there is certainly drama.From the beginning, you can tell something is off.

Growing up, my family had a near-nightly tradition. After dinner and showers, we would gather around the TV in the family room and watch my mom’s favorite music videos from days past.It was a family-wide event, with my siblings and I taking turns choosing the next mini-movie, analyzing the story it told and copying dance moves we saw onscreen.The general quality of music videos has decreased dramatically in recent years. It went from being an art form where the artist could convey the meaning behind their music, to nothing more than a five-second silent snippet that plays on repeat while you listen to the track on Spotify.

Over spring break, I convinced a friend to tag along for a “Ready or Not 2” screening. I knew nothing about the movie — I still haven’t even seen the first one — but the trailers interested me, and I was due for a trip to the theater.The audience filled less than half of our showing, which I simultaneously questioned and celebrated. The movie itself lived up to my expectations, but as we walked out of AMC, I thought back to the theater experiences I had growing up.
I’ve been listening to Snail Mail since 2022, so the wait for Lindsey Jordan’s newest album, “Ricochet,” was a long one. My first experience with her music was on my 16th birthday, and my dad decided to take a risk and buy me a vinyl of an album I had never heard before.
From cable television to YouTube Shorts, late-night shows have touched audiences everywhere.When you hear “late-night show,” a few names probably come to mind: Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, James Corden or any Saturday Night Live cast member from 1975 to now.However, while these names are household staples, people are watching them less and less. According to rating reports, total viewership has declined by three percent since 2024. The number of viewers ages 18 to 49 has decreased by 16%.

At the end of January, London-based singer-songwriter Raye announced the release of her second album, “This Music May Contain Hope,” and I have been eagerly awaiting its arrival ever since.

This time last year, I sat down with Culture Editor Stella Powers and proclaimed that I wanted to rank my favorite redheads in the media, in honor of the beloved holiday that was quickly approaching: Green Beer Day.At the time, I only intended to write one.
